From inside the apartment, Damon could hear the argument.
"If she actually helped in the fight maybe Danny wouldn't have ended up injured!" Ash's voice cracked through the cinder block walls.
"It's not her fault she can't fight. She does have other skills though, don't forget that Ash," Rose's voice was just as loud but somehow calmer. She was only trying to keep her rank over his and to remind him he was the beta of the pack.
"Great, so she can play on that piece of weaver crap she calls a computer, but not a whole hell of alot else!"
"You two need to bring it down a notch or she'll hear you from outside," Cain said over the racket that was in the apartment, but the damage had been done. Damon had been walking up the stairs listening. Danny had tried to stop her, distract her somehow, but had failed. Damon entered the apartment just as Cain had finished. All three looked up at her. Her white face was blank and her crystal blue eyes were emotionless. She walked through the group and into her room. The door closed quietly with a soft click. Danny shut the door to the apartment and looked around to the grim faces. Rose looked embarrassed, Cain dropped his eyes to the floor, while Ash kept his face as blank as Damon's had been.
Danny shook his head and went to Damon's door, but before he could do anything, a rhythmic knocking on the main door broke the awkward silence that had followed Damon's disappearance.
The knock came again, just as rhythmic. Ash looked to Rose and she nodded. He moved to the door and opened it.
Before him stood a woman with an enchanting smile and bright red hair that hung past her waist. She was slim and not very shapely. Her eyes were a clear blue and strangely familiar.
"Hi, I'm looking for Damon O'Neal. I was told she lives here," she paused, "Does she?" she began to peer into the apartment. Ash did his best to block the doorway, which wasn't hard since he took up the entire opening.
"Yes, she does, but who are you?" he asked curtly.
"I'm Amy O'Neal, her sister," she said with a smile. The entire room seemed to stop. Cain's mouth actually dropped open.
"You don't say..." Rose said softly. Danny had turned to the door and therefore didn't notice the door behind him begin to swing open slowly. Damon peered out slowly, her eyes grew into large circles. She tried to retreat again but was stopped. "DAMON!!" Amy cried and rushed past Ash. She pulled Damon out of her door and wrapped her in a tight embrace.
Damon stood statue still as the woman squeezed her tightly. The woman finally disengaged herself from Damon and stood next to her. The resemblance was striking, even with Damon's normal full face makeup.
