Fate can be a funny and fickle thing. The general consensus is that fate is a tapestry woven from countless threads that depict the life of the world with living creatures each being represented by their own unique most people don't realize is that there are countless tapestries with countless threads that continue to be woven together with every passing second.

Some of these tapestries are even similar in appearance and grouped together; however despite this you will find no two tapestries that are identical. Now we cast our gaze to a specific set of tapestries and sift through them. One holds the thread of a boy whose disabled sister sacrifices her sight for him without hesitation, placing him on the path to venture into a dangerous city filled with strange, other-worldly beings where tomorrow isn't a guarantee, to find a way to regain her sight.

Another might have this same person born as a girl with her disabled younger brother sacrificing himself in the same way, but when she ventures to the city she happens to make eye contact with an elder of the night who spirits her away and turns her into one of them.

However this story is about a tapestry different from the rest, with a single, seemingly unimportant thread that by some accidental circumstance, changed the course of fate entirely for not just the boy and his sister, but for entirely different set of siblings. In this story that single thread came in the form of a plain looking, simple man at his simple office job.

Covering his mouth with his hand, the man relieved a slight cough from the back of his throat and continues on with his day like millions of others. At lunch he greets a work friend with a handshake who once finished with his sandwhich, returns to his work.

Now this may not seem like much, but the simple man's role in the chain of events to come is over, for unknown to him he carried within his body the Rhinovirus, otherwise known as the common cold which he had now passed onto his friend when he shook his hand which his friend then used to eat his sandwich. Since this man was scheduled for only a half day, he left for home soon after to help his family to prepare for the trip they would soon take to the state of New York's own Hell Salem's Lot.

Within a couple of days the whole family of four had contracted the virus and were bedridden, forcing them to cancel the trip. At that time a young(ish) man in his late twenties was scrolling through various national airlines to find cheap, last minute tickets. He refreshed the page with a sigh and rubbed a hand over his tired eyes. He had been looking for hours not to find something that he ould afford on short notice to try and surprise his little sister. He didn't bother looking through any international flights, knowing that while his she did enjoy the thought of something like an exotic vacation, she was as frugal as they come and considered such things as far too extravagant for their budget which she kept a close eye on. Not a single penny was wasted.

Dragging his hand down his face the man's eyes immediately locked onto the screen again and stopped on a single travel airline that was usually booked solid as they only flew to the world's most popular tourist destination (at least the outskirts of it was). There were now four vacancies. Acting quickly he booked two of the ticket, unknowingly securing the new threads of fate, "Hey Rosa, pack your bags, we're going on a trip!"

Rosa heaved out a sigh, pushing her long golden hair out of her face with one hand while the other fiddled with the gold locket around her neck as she looked at the giant mushroom cloud of fog looming in the distance, covering the city of Hellsalem's Lot, "Hey c'mon sis, don't make such a gloomy face! If you keep it up it might stick that way~!"

She looked over and giggled when she saw her older brother pulling a ridiculously dramatic sad face as he held up his camera, "You might want to take your own advice Takeo, though in your case it'll probably be an improvement." she teased.

Takeo staggered back clutching a hand to his chest, "Ow, that hurts sis, I'm seriously wounded right here." he tapped his finger over his heart.

Rosa snorted softly with a slight smirk, "Sure you are." unable to help it she glanced back at the fog covered city in the distance, her smirk falling, 'Hellsalem's Lot, the new hub of the strange and abnormal, like me...'

Takeo noticed the instant his little sister's thoughts took another dower turn, he didn't think that she would get depressed at the sight of the city, he had thought that she might take comfort at the sight of a place filled with supernatural beings, but it seemed to have the opposite effect.

Lifting the camera to his eye, he called out, "Alright give me a that beautiful smile of yours!"

Turning her attention back to her brother, Rosa sighed and smiled as her brother pressed the button of the camera, the sun glinting off of her sky blue eyes.
