A/N: Inspiration hit me like an effin' brick. I'm sorry it has taken so long, reads o' mine.
Delphos' Hotline:
And then I screamed my lungs out.
I woke up.
My twin was holding my hand, as firmly as he was able to, green eyes troubled and full of sincere concern, with their gaze fixed on me.
I, on my part, was gasping, grabbing his hand with both of mine, sweating. My throat and my lips were dry, and I was shaking, my face stained with tears.
I coughed.
"Saga, are you alright?"- I heard him asking.
And yet, I didn't answer, still petrified, puzzled, horrofied by the images displayed in my dreams. Was it a kind of prediction? If so, since when was she pregnant, and why would she end her and the child's lives like that? Why would she, in the first place?
Saga... Saga... Saga...
Her voice resounded through my head.
"I don't know where you are... Please, help me saving you..."
Saga...
"Saori..."-
"Saga!"- Kanon's voice suddenly pierced my ears.
"What!"- I demanded. I realized, then, that I was crushing his hand between mine, and I released it quickly.-"Sorry..."
"Eh, it's fine"- he grunted- "What are a few broken bones more, anyway?"- Kanon, then, snapped the bones back in their place, these resounding through the room loudly.- "And for fuck's sake; you really do need to lay off those pills Shaka gave you. They are begining to affect you."
I rolled my eyes.
"Do excuse me. 'Affect me'?"- I repeated, incredulous- "What in Hades' name do you mean?"
My brother mimicked my gesture, and handed me a glass of cold water, which I downed immediately.
"You scream Athena's mortal name. More like, moan it."- he replied, arching an eyebrow.-"I could swear, brother, were it not your voice and your several cries of despair, I would think I've been listening to a kind of wicked porn movie."-
"You would certainly know what one of those is..."- I commented, then smirked at him- "So, when are you divorcing your left hand, hmnh?"-
I saw, with delight, that he blushed.
"Shut the fuck up. Jerk..."- he snapped.
I grinned triumphantly.
"Owned, bitch. Who's your daddy!"-
"Saga..."-
"That's right, bitch. Say it again!"-
Kanon scowled.
"Don't push it, mother fucker!"-
This time, we both laughed.
"C'mon, bro. Make me a coffee please."- I yawned, and sighed, while I rubbed my temples tiredly. After Saori had left to... only the Gods' knew where, coffee was the first and the last thing I consumed, before I went back to bed.
"Yo'. Now, seriously. What cha' gonna do about these nightmares of yours?"- he asked, while he began preparing the coffee I asked, and put two plates on the table, along with a box of cereal, and milk.
I considered my options. Shaka had said that my dreams might just have been my fears represented in another surreal form, while Camus had told me that they might have been an expression of wish.
Flashback:
"You should take it with a professional, you know?"- Milo had suggested- "I heard that the incarnation of the Delphos' Oracle is currently residing in Athens... she has a hotline, actually."
My mouth hung open.
"The Delphos' Oracle has a hotline?"- I asked, blinking.
Milo had just laughed shortly, and tossed a card at me.
End of Flashback.
"So, Saga? What are you gonna do, bro'?"- my sibling handed me my coffee.
I, for the first time in a while, smiled, while I thought of the small presentation card that rested in the dephts of my pockets.
"I'm going to make a phonecall."
