Enjoy, and if you like it, please review.


Cissy sits on Andromeda's bed, feet tucked neatly under her. She is supposed to be proving to her sisters that one can, in fact, write an entire essay with a sugar quill.

The 'essay' currently looks suspisciously like a picture of a unicorn.

Cissy hums happily to herself, sucking on the end of the quill. The sugar spins thin as gossamer, about to snap.

Indigo ink colours her lips.

(Bruises. A punch in the mouth.)

Bella shakes with silent laughter nearby, her eyes sparkling. I-love-it-when-a-plan-comes-together.

Andromeda swallows, hugging a pillow to her waist.

(They don't know.)

(They don't need to know.)

Not yet.
