It was dark outside, it was dark inside too it sounded almost metaphorical
she thought with a slight smile, but since when were Redfern's metaphorical?
There had been a power cut in New York this evening and even as
she stared out of the penthouse window the lights began to flicker
back into existence; a thousand man made fireflies drowning out the stars.
Her half smile stayed as the door bell rang although it was
now fixed in place her eyes shifting from their normal gold to an
icy blue that heralded fury even as she opened the door "Good evening
Ash" She looked at the cousin she had the most respect for with
little patience, she couldn't say she liked him, to be quite honest
she couldn't say she liked any one but right now she didn't want
company but her voice remained icily polite
"What can I do for the Redfern's prodigal son?" he looked
down at her slightly, which was irritating at 5'9 not many people
looked down at her at all "I have a letter for you" she raised one
eyebrow and flicked a blood coloured curl back over her shoulder
cursing it mentally for slipping out of its tight braid "If it's
important enough not to be trusted to the post then you'd better
bring it in" she stepped back and ushered him past her into the
living room from which plate glass window she had been staring then
she held out her hand "Give" he handed her the rolled scrap of parchment
and she frowned "Parchment, that isn't like the council" she turned
the roll over to the seal and found a fine layer of champagne coloured
wax impressed with a rising sun this time both eyebrow lifted and
her eyes slid back into their normal amber gold "Daybreak" it was
a thousand questions in a word and Ash dropped his eyes she was
surprised he didn't blush "Ah" she said and suddenly both sides
of her mouth turned up it wasn't a smile but it conveyed the same
effect and was unexpectedly charming in the chiselled features of
Lily Redfern's youngest child "You have submitted gracefully to the family curse I see"
She watched his shoulders stiffen with concealed mischief
and then broke the seal her whole expression changing "Merde" the
fact she had sworn at all brought Ash's head up the fact her face
was still blankly inscrutable brought a look of confusion
which seemed to bring back her good humour "Tell Theirry
Descoudres" she said in a charming voice "That he isn't offering
nearly enough to get me into Ryars Valley" she watched Ash to make
sure he had that in his head "And I don't think even HE has enough
money in the bank to get me to make this kill" she watched Ash stiffen
and curled up one side of her lip in a sneer "Oh please, why do
you think you were sent to me?" she quietly walked him to the door
and then shut it quite calmly in his face and returned to looking
out over the night her face a study in marble as her fingers delicately crushed the parchment
