Aria
Two Months Later
“Halona, hurry up! We are already late.” Moira says, sounding frantic.
“Moira, calm the fuck down. I am almost done.” Halona says back, pinning the last curl into place. “There. You look perfect.”
Moira I look around the market for my sister but I can't find her anywhere. Where the hell could she be? I have circled the place three times, looking behind every curtain and in every booth or vendor stall. I am sure that there are a few merchants who think that I might be crazy, but that's okay. I just want to find Halona and get out of here. I have spent more money than I planned to and my arms are weighted down with my purchases. “Where the hell are you Halona?” I wonder aloud. I might actually be crazy, considering that I am now talking to myself..
Halona I look everywhere for her, but Moira is no where to be found. I try calling her cell phone but it just rings and rings. I find the unanswered phone laying on her bed, with all of the bags of things she bought today. I run out of our room, looking through the building franctically. I search up and down each hallway, asking students at random if they have seen my sister. To the ones who don't know who I am talking about, I simply ask if they have seen a girl with my face. All I get is a 'no'. No one has seen her. But she couldn't have just vanished without a trace, could she?
Moira I am not sure if ten minutes passed or three hours when I hear his voice again. I cried until I was all dried out so then I laid there staring at the dark wall, my mind blessedly blank. Now, I don't even bother sitting up or turning around. I just lay on the cold floor, shivering and worried. It has gotten so cold in the room that my teeth begins to chatter. “Here.” A blanket
Moira I look around at the bathroom, with it's grayish blue walls and silver tiled floor. It has a Mediterranean printed shower curtain pulled across the wall, so I assume it is a bathtub. There is a small pedestal sink that is a silver and blue marble. A small oval mirror with a black frame. Then the toilet that looks like every other toilet I have ever seen. After a few minutes I exit the bathroom, feeling a million times better. Thankfully his bathroom was completely furnished with hand soap, dish towels and air freshene
Moira “Moira?!” “Halona!” “Are you okay?! Where are you? I have looked everywhere for you.” She asks me, shouting. I once again repeat the story of getting trapped in a genie lamp. &ldqu
Moira I tell Raf all about how me and my family live in Hamlet. How murders started happening around the town and my sister, Aria, being a harbinger of death was drawn to the victims. How she solved the crimes and found the murderer. How it was her now husband's brother, Castiel. How he drained her of blood, ripped out her throat and stabbed her, leaving her for dead. Then how he got away. How is girlfriend was holding me and my siblings hostage. How me and Halona overpowered her and Halona killed her. I fill him
Raf “Yes.” She says quickly. “I mean- I would love to.” She accepts a bit more demurely, but with a charming grin on her face. She seems excited by the prospect of a date with me and that thrills me. Relief floods through me and feel light, happy even, for the first time in so long. I think Moira is absolutely beautiful, but more than that, she is sweet, smart and funny. She is considerate and loving. She is kind of stubborn, but she caves whenever she feels that she is crossing into bad manners, because she doe
Moira He swirls me around and when I stop spinning I am standing in the center of an immaculate ballroom. Music sounds from overhead, swirling around us and he pulls me into his arms, moving gracefully with me around the floor. I feel like I'm in that ballroom scene in Beauty and the Beast. His hands are splayed across my back and he holds my front pressed tightly against his, so that every movement of his legs brushes against mine, igniting fires deep within me. “You are so incredibly beautiful.”
