Seriously messed up

She dug through her drawers and still she couldn't find it. She could have sworn she hung it up when she bought it. She narrowed her eyes and growled, storming out of her room in search of her brother. Not that it took much searching to find him; all you had to do was look in front of a TV.

She stormed into the room and screamed in frustration. Sure enough there was the missing vest. He was wearing it and her red jacket. Seated in front of the video game console and playing his devil may cry game again. He didn't even flinch when she entered the room.

"That does it you little creep" she said

she stormed over to the TV and turned off the console. her brother stared at the screen for a second then shrieked like a baby.

"What the fck I was just about to beat Neven what gives" said her brother

"oh I don't know how about you stealing my clothes" she yelled back.

"You didn't have to shut the game off" he argued back

"yes I did I could have set the house on fire and you wouldn't even notice the smoke" said Alex

"yes I would and your just jealous because I look better in this than you" said her brother Mikhail

she snorted in disbelief

"you look like a cross dresser" said Alex

"I do not I look like Dante" said Mikhail

she laughed at him.

"Man your pathetic it's a game Mike he ain't even real" said Alex

Mikhail stood up and lunged at his sister.

She sidestepped and he still made a lunge for her hair.

"If you were being chased by demons you'd wish he was real" said Mikhail

she snorted and put her hand on his forehead holding him back one handed.

"if I was being chased by demons, like if they were real I'd head for a church not rely on some jerk to save me" said Alex

"he's not a jerk he's brooding" said Mike

"Well I don't need any more angst I'm a teenager now put my clothes back in my room or I'll tell mom" said Alex

her brother groaned and stomped off to her room. He shed the jacket and the vest laying them on the bed.

"The pants too" she said in disgust.

Her brother glared and stripped off the leather pants. He walked out of the room in his boxers.

"I hope you do get chased by demons and have to be saved by Dante" said her brother.

She snorted and closed the door on him with a "whatever".

She started straightening her jacket and hung it back up. She turned the vest right side out and hung it up as well. She turned the pants right side out. Hopefully she wouldn't need to dry clean them before tonight.

She hung them up and picked up her cell phone to text her friends

"So tonight?" she texted

her phone beeped for the return text and she opened it.

"Yeah wear the outfit" said the text.

She sighed and looked down at the pants; they had a ketchup splotch on one leg. She sighed guess she would have to wear something else on her bottom half.

"I'll see you there" she texted back and closed her phone.

She set it down and headed for the shower.

Took one and then proceeded to get ready for tonight. She ended up wearing her gypsy skirt with the vest and a peasant blouse under it. She did her hair up in a band and did her makeup with exotic greens and golds. She grabbed her guitar and headed for the door. Her bracelets jingled together as she walked towards the door.

"I have a gig don't stay up all night" said Alex

her brother ignored her. She was glad he was old enough to stay home alone now.

She sighed and opened her door. Walked out to her jeep and drove to the pub. Fortunately half of it was an all age place so her band playing there wouldn't raise too many eyebrows. Well beyond the odd looks most teenagers would get for playing renaissance style rock. The band was already here and they were setting up.

"Hey what happened to the pants?" said tony

She sighed and rolled her eyes

"in a word little brothers" said Alex

"that bad huh?" said tony

she nodded yes. She was the youngest member of the band but she was there lead vocalist and guitarist. She took her place on the stool they set out for her and set her guitar on her lap. Adjusted the tuning and began playing something randomly. The night was uneventful just the usual crowd.

Dark clouds rolled in as she played inside the club and something darker than the clouds rolled her way. The set was finally over and the next band took the stage for the night. She packed her guitar back in its case and picked it up

"Good set" said tony

she nodded in response and headed for the door.

"Text me, we'll get together and iron out that song" said Alex

he nodded and she headed out the door. She was walking to her jeep when she heard a bell ring. She paused her keys in the door of her jeep. She turned to the direction of the sound. It chimed again and she started towards the sound.

Her first cat had been a foundling; it had gotten stuck on a fence by its collar. The collar had a small bell on it, so she thought it could be another cat in need of help. She walked into the darkened alley and approached the small shape by the trash can. It was moving strangely and she thought it was stuck. Until she got closer and realized it was moving because something was eating it.

She screamed and backpedaled when a pair of red tinged yellow eyes looked in her direction. A dead cat hung out of its mouth. She turned to run and she could swear she was except it felt as though she was running on ice. Her feet slid back as she ran and she was effectively going nowhere. She screamed as her feet left the ground.
