Sorry it's been a few days. Been an odd few days. But here's another
chapter.
********
I don't know how long I was there alone for, it may have been ten minutes, it may have been two hours before my brother arrived home. Time seemed to be constantly playing tricks on me. All I knew was Riff was by my side as soon as the door was closed, wordlessly holding me and rocking me gently. Eventually he tilted my chin up to face him and he gently stroked away my tears.
"You need to sleep, my dearest sister." I nodded, I was exhausted, he picked me up and carried me to the bedroom. That night was unusually cold, it was now late into the Transylvanian spring. Rather than going to his own bed, Riff Raff curled up with me for the night. It was so much like when we were little children, cuddling closely to stay warm in the evenings, but so much had changed since then, so much innocence lost. I nuzzled his neck, then I lay my head on his chest, I could almost hear his heartbeat. It reminded me that I was loved and always would be. All of a sudden my circumstances seemed a little more bearable.
It wasn't to last.
********
O/S sorry it was so short, but I wanted this in here to set up the next bit. It's not all fluff from here on in. You've been warned.
