One last leap and twirl and the dance was complete. The girl on the stage stopped, lowering herself into a strong bow and panting hard raised herself again, mimicking the steps she would do the following night on the stage of the New York grand theatre stage. Elaina smiled satisfied with herself; the extra practice was worth it, she was flawless in her execution at the moment. And tomorrow night would be the most important night of her life; it's not every day one is promoted to the role of prima ballerina. She had strived for as long as she could remember in her 23 years for this ...and now it was here. The only thing that saddened her was that her older brother, Mick, would not be present among the admiring spectators.
He seemed too wrapped up in his new wife, Coraline. Elaina had never cared for her much and she had a feeling Coraline felt the same of her. There was just something about her she didn't trust, she couldn't put her finger on it but years of ballet and dealing the type of divas that the stage could produce, she knew to trust her instincts when she didn't like someone. She had called and called Mick since her winning the role to no avail and eventually she had been forced to go to L.A. to try to find him. Coraline had met her at the door and told her Mick was no longer he brother nor her concern, she had refused Elaina access to the house or so she thought anyway. Elaina had waited till she had seen coralline leaving later and had snuck into the house, leaving a note for Mick as to how he could contact her and about the ballet. She hoped he would get it, that he was okay.
Picking up her water bottle she debated going thru her piece one last time, as her mentor and teacher Monet said you can never practice enough. All of a sudden the doors of the theatre flung themselves open and there stood her brother's wife, looking out of breath and very angry.
Before Elaina had time to react, Coraline was upon her. "You little witch" she screamed in Elaina's face throwing her back hard against the stage. Elaina was dazed and shocked, how could Coraline be so strong? Coraline advanced upon her, her eyes turning silver, a growl emitting from her chest. All to suddenly and all to late Elaina realised that coralline was unlike any diva she had met before. Scrambling to her feet, Elaina made a dash for the side stage door, knocking over things in panic as she ran. Her hands threaded over a table and came to rest on a silver sword, a prop for the next night. She grabbed it instinctively and unknowingly trying to understand what she had seen on the stage. She reached the stage door and begun fumbling with the bar on the lock trying to open it but she couldn't. A cold chill of wind shot down her spine and she knew the creature that resembled her sister in law was behind her. Elaina turned and swung with the sword, catching the creature unaware and it roared. Elaina tried to dash past but the creature caught her by the throat and lowered her to the floor. "I'm going to do what I should of done long ago" it snarled "and that is get rid of you , you little meddler". With that Coralline sank her fangs into Elaina's neck as she squealed out in pain. Panic fled thru Elaina's body as she felt the blood loss, her heart weakening as she fell into swift darkness. Coraline heard her heart stop moments later and lifted her head, satisfied with what she had done. Mick needed to cut all ties to his old human life and she had just helped her husband out greatly. I truly am the greatest wife in the world she thought to herself with a smirk.
Coralline walked to the back of the stage where the manager's office was, picking up the phone she dialled the head quarters of the cleaner agency and gave them the details. Coralline cast one last glance over at the immobile body half hidden in the curtains and smirked again to herself as she left the theatre.
