They sat like that for the longest time. Even after the sun rose over the horizon and bathed them in its light. Their skin turned extremely pale and their eyes were bloodshot red. Gently, Rave ran his fingers through Arywin’s loose hair and then let it fall. He wrapped her tighter in the embrace he was giving her.
“Arywin. I know this is a bad time to bring this up, but that house we were looking at before you were changed, well it went on sale the other day so I purchased it and placed this one on market.” Arywin pulled away from him and looked in Rave’s eyes. “We’re suppose to be out by the end of the month.”
Arywin nodded her head as she looked at her hands. “I think a move would be good. It can help us forget some unwanted memories.” Her eyes shifted to the spot right in front of the living room door. Memories for Drake changing her into a vampire flashed through her mind. She forced herself to look back at Rave who was thinking the exact same thing. A gentle smile spread across his face as he reached up and wiped one of her tears away.
“We don’t need to start anything now. You head up and get some sleep.” Arywin nodded her head and rose to her feet. She started to turn away but then turned back to him and frowned.
“Make sure you do the same gimpy.” A small smile spread across her face making Rave chuckle. He slowly shook his head and stood up.
“Alright, mother. I’m going, I’m going.” He said stretching up to the ceiling and gave he a gentle smile. {A least she’s feeling a little better.} Rave thought to himself as Arywin turned and headed upstairs.
Rave followed her until he reached his room and even then he watched his sister until she closed the door to her room behind her. Shaking his head, Rave entered his room and closed the door to fall asleep.
Arywin stood in the middle of her room with her back to the door. It was dark; her curtains were drawn shut preventing any type of light from entering. This was what she craved, the darkness and cool places in the world. Shaking her head, Arywin glided over to her bed and climbed in. With the blankets surrounding her, Arywin slowing drifting off to sleep. Her dreams were darker as she dreamed about Daniel running away from her. His beautiful blue eyes that were once filled with love and compassion were now filled with fear.
