I do not own the Night World or the characters, only the plot!

September 28 2004.

"Seems like it's going to rain" The brunette little girl asked looking outside her hotel window. The warm wind was familiar to her, it was that smell of humidity in the atmosphere the real indicator for what was about to happen. However, as usual she was not heard. If only they had…

"Mare, it'll be fine! You'll see, plus we will be inside the restaurant! It's not like we are going to walk around" her mum said with a mocking grin as she put on her favorite white pearl earrings. Those earrings her dad had bought just for her, for the woman he now called his wife but loved for a long time before that, the same woman who now looked stunning on her white strapless dress with her dark curly brown hair falling over her shoulders. Mary Lynnette sighed softly and came back to look outside the window, she looked a lot like her mother and she was sure she would look even more once she reach her 18 years old. Same hair, and face expression, nose and lips, eyes and dimples. Mary-Lynnette didn't resemble her father that much, maybe on hands but that was about it. Even her character was mostly influenced by her mother, which caused a few fights at times. Her brother on the other hand was her father's image. Same straight black hair with those black eyes of his. Mary-Lynnette turned to face him on her parent's bed as he watched TV.

"There is a strong tradition of "world ages" in Mayan literature, but the record has been distorted, leaving several possibilities open to interpretation. According to the Popol Vuh, a compilation of the creation accounts of the K'iche' Maya of the Colonial-era highlands, we are living in the fourth world." The TV informer said as her brother listened with real interest, his dark eyes never leaving the TV screen.

Maybe her mother was right; after all she knew storms made her nervous since she was 3 years old. Outside everything was normal, as usual nobody had paid any attention to the sudden change in the air but again, why would they? You really are crazy Mare, she thought. Strangers fixed their coats and hats, while others just kept walking losing themselves in their own world.

"Dad! Do you really need to go?" she said looking at her father with those big pleading eyes. Her dad closed the closet's door and smiled softly at his daughter as he tried to fix his tie. His wife seeing the mess he was in, walked towards him and fixed it. A sighed of relieve left his lips as he looked at his little daughter letting his wife do the job "Mare, it's just rain no need to worry about it". The little girl sighed and tried to ignore the heavy tension in her chest.

"The Popol Vuh describes the gods first creating three failed worlds, followed by a successful fourth world in which humanity was placed. In the Maya Long Count, the previous world ended after 13 b'ak'tuns, or roughly 5,125 years. The Long Count's "zero date was set at a point in the past marking the end of the third world and the beginning of the current one, which corresponds to 11 August 3114 BC in the proleptic Gregorian calendar" The TV informer was saying. Her father sighed and shook his head "Mark? What on earth are you watching now?" he said to his brother who didn't even blink from the TV.

"I think we are ready!" her mum said cheerfully grabbing her purse as her dad turned towards the door looking for his car keys on his pocket. His black suit seemed appropriated for the occasion. An elegant dinner with his boss and wife, if he only had known that he would be using that same suit for a completely different occasion… the story would have been different.

"Honey, I wrote down the emergency numbers and put them right next to the phone In case you need us" her mother said kissing her forehead before looking into her eyes "are you sure you can deal with Mark? You know how he gets sometimes" Mary-Lynnette smiled at this. It was the first time she was being allowed to take care of Mark since she had finally reached her 12 years old. With a reassuring smile she answered "Mother, we will be just fine!" with that her mother turned around followed by her husband before closing the door and saying goodbye for one last time…

"Are they gone?" a small voice behind her said. Mary-Lynnette turned around and looked at her brother. Those big brown eyes were already staring at her waiting for an answer. She smiled softly" yeah, they did" she said waking towards her parent's bed and jumping on it right next to her brother "why?" The little boy just shrugged and stared at her big sister "what are we going to do now then?" she just shrugged, in reality she hadn't thought about how she was going to take care of her brother. She had thought of staying in the hotel and watch a few movies and maybe order some food, but her brother's eyes clearly demand something completely different. She sighed and looked at him "what do you have in mind?" The little boy grinned and shrugged "Mum never lets us go out so what if we just go for ice cream?" Mary-Lynnette sighed and ignored the odd feeling in her chest.

True, her mother was over protective and both of them loved the idea of adventures as the characters they read in books. But if they had only known what destiny had prepared for them… things would have been different.

So what do you think?

I hope you liked it ^_^
