( I TIRED TO UPDATE THIS YESTURDAY 21/03/11 BUT FOR SOME REASON IT KEPT COMING UP WITH AN ERROR!)
China walked down the lane way being careful not to ruin her new heels. She entered the tree line and continued to the centre of the forest. She came to a clearing. There was what she had been looking for the lake. It was early morning and the trees were silent. She pulled a leaf off one nearby and dropped on to the surface of the water the ripples began to clear and a figure emerged from them floating just above the water. It looked female and had long flowing dark hair with amber eyes. Its face broke into a wide smile when it saw China.
"Scarlett." It screeched and through it arms around China in happiness "oh Scarlett I haven't seen you in years."
China pulled back a disgusted look on her face "Sabrina! How many times do I have to tell you I'm China Sorrows?"
Sabrina smirked "sure sis yep China Sorrows, Scarlett seriously can't you little sister even call you that now?"
China shook her head a stern look on her features. "Definitely not, I have come to discuss something's with you Sabrina." She said, Sabrina's head shot up curiosity crossing her features
"Something wrong in the world of mages?" she asked a grin splitting her features "I told Stephan and you not to leave the lake but no, and then Sophie went off and married that mortal and had those children." Sabrina turned up her nose at this last statement.
China sighed "Sabrina, Sophie and Thomas are dead and so is Stephan."
Sabrina's mouth dropped open her eyes were wide "dead?" she said in a small voice
China nodded. "Yes they are dead, now listen to me. Sophie gave you something to hide a couple of years ago right?" Sabrina nodded
"Yes, but what has that to do with anything?" she asked confused
"The children need to collect it Sabrina." China whispered.
"But it needs a living sacrifice to be collected." Sabrina exclaimed.
"Exactly, there is someone after them and it is our duty to look after the two of them together." China said crossing her arms to her chest shivering slightly.
Sabrina creased her brow and sighed "but why do we have to look after them." She whined
"There our nieces!" snapped china
"All right Scarlett no need to get angry, I'll do what I can." Sabrina said in defence
"Fine goodbye." China turned to leave but Sabrina reached out an arm and stopped her.
"You're not leaving now are you?" she asked her face a mask of sadness "after all these years of isolation and you won't stay a while?"
China looked away "I'm meeting someone, I... I have to go."
"Oh sissy's got a boyfriend." Teased Sabrina
"Stop it is quite!" china hissed through gritted teeth.
"Why something wrong? Who is it then?" she asked trying to hold in her laughter. Her sister Scarlett the one who had made a pledge never to enter and relationship with anyone was seeing someone!
China tried to look stern but finally she gave in. "Skulduggery." She said defiantly.
Sabrina stopped short of her snort of laughter and stared wide eyed at her sister gaping. "Not Mister Pleasant." She said horrified "you promised that you wouldn't fall for him again. You said that after he married that women and had a child with her you pledged." Sabrina gapped.
China waved it away with her hand and simply said. "Times change."
Sabrina stared at her in shock a little longer until finally said "but you basically killed his wife and child, surely he knows?" she asked uncertainly. At the mention of this China's face became enraged.
"No he doesn't" she snarled and sharply turned around and basically ran out of the trees as Sabrina called after her "he'll find out Scarlett I'll make sure of it! I know your secret!"
Sisters Sabrina thought to herself as she sank thankfully back under the surface.
A few blocks away Vanity lay sleeping once again. She rolled over and her arm landed on something hard. She frowned and sat up rubbing her eyes. She almost jumped out of her skin when something began to vibrate on her leg. She sat still for a moment terrified her side aching at the sudden movement until she realised it was her phone. She pulled it out of her pocket and answered.
"Hello" she said sleepily
"Vanity!" came an urgent reply "where are you?"
It took vanity a moment to register who the caller was. Vintage's voice rang out again "Vanity where have you been I haven't seen you in ages."
"Oh um I've been walking around the suburb." Came Vanity's poor excuse. "I'm out right now getting some food; I probably won't be home for a while. Probably not until late and them I'm going early again tomorrow." She heard vintage sigh
"Okay, fine, as long as you're alright take care."
Vanity smiled slightly. "Yeah you too"
"Bye"
"Vintage, say good bye to Darien for me and the others okay."
"Um okay sure" Vintge said confused "bye love you"
"Good bye Vintage I love you to" she hung up and sighed hunching her shoulders and holding her head in her hand.
"Is it just me or did that sound like more than just a see you later?" Vanity jumped up once again and winced clutching her side. Caelan stood in the door way a questioning look on his face.
Vanity smiled guiltily. "Yeah, I guess it probably sounded more like a goodbye forever type thing didn't it?"
Caelan nodded and walked into the room sitting down on the edge on the bed. Vanity shifted herself slightly but stopped when she gasped because of the pain.
"What's wrong?" Caelan suddenly asked alert once again.
"nothing." Vanity said waving him away; he caught her hand in his grip.
"Vanity?" he said looking stern she took this to mean don't mess with me and sighed.
"It's just the wound." She said and tried to pull back but Caelan gripped on tighter.
"Show me." He said sounding slightly aggressive
"No" Vanity said gritting her teeth and trying to pull away. He let go of her hand and said more gently
"Sorry, can I see?" She paused for a moment and then nodded and lifted her shirt. The cuts were horrid they were still raw and red and didn't look any better than yesterday. The bleeding had stopped at least Caelan thought.
"What's wrong with them?" Vanity asked.
"There not healing." Caelan replied as he instructed vanity to lie down. "Do you want me to try and fix it?" he asked. She thought for a moment biting her bottom lip and then nodded.
"Okay" he said and leaned his head closer to her stomach. He let his lips brush over the first of the cuts and followed it up until it stopped. Vanity suddenly went ridged as his cold lips touched her skin, she felt him finish the first and then move onto the second suddenly she felt something wet she gasped as the air hit the wetness making a cool soothing feeling. She looked down Caelan had licked her wound she watched as the wound began to immediately heal and he began to start on the third.
Caelan took his time on the last cut savouring how close he was to her and how unafraid she was. When he had finished he looked up and caught her gaze as she was staring at him. She blushed and looked away quickly.
"I hope that helped, it's should stop hurting now." He said awkwardly and got up to leave. He was just about to go out the door when he turned back around and said. "The good bye. It was mean to be forever wasn't it?"
Vanity nodded. "But why?" Caelan asked puzzled.
"It's a long story." Vanity said.
"I've got the time." Caelan said smiling slightly and Vanity sighed and gestured for him to sit down as she began to tell him about her parents and Regan.
