Cass and V
14. Smile
"Hi Sissy!" Cassandra called as she burst through their bedroom door with much gusto.
Viper slowly turned her head away from the window, her face emotionless. Her hair, that was usually wavy and full, was straight and limp. Her skin was pale and looked lifeless. Her eyes were dull and tired. Cassandra bounced over to the bed and plopped down close to her, kissing her cheek.
"Did you have a good day?"
She nodded once, "Did... Y-you?" she asked, almost like she had to relearn how to say words.
"Yup! I met a demon, his name was Tavor." Viper met her eyes, "You know him."
Her sister nodded once.
"He said he's here to watch you."
"W-Why..?"
"He didn't say, You hungry? I'll bring you something to eat."
She shook her head.
"No? Tea then? Come on it'll make me feel better."
The corner of Viper's mouth rose, "Ok..Okay."
Cassandra beamed back and skipped out of the room.
"How is she?" Aziraphale asked as soon as he walked into the door.
"She smiled at me." Cassandra said smiling a little.
