WHO: Zee Nikolaeva ---> Cecilia Tallis
WHEN: September 3rd
WHERE: Her brother's home ---> The Tallis Estate
SUMMARY: Zee remembers comforting a sister she does not actually have.
Though the night was late, it still wasn't late enough that one would expect all individuals to be asleep in their beds. This expectation was only placed upon the youngest individuals of the household and thus, Cecilia, was excluded from any guilt for still being awake that evening. She was curled up in an arm chair, with a throw tossed lazily over her lap and shoulder, as she thumbed through a Jules Verne novel with fierce dedication. It was a particularly interesting tale, involving an adventure undersea, but her interest were more of the discussion that would be had as soon as she'd completed every page. Robbie, one of her childhood companions, had suggested the title to her with eagerness. And she wished to be able to discuss it with him. Just as she was about to turn the page, she heard a shout from the room cross the way. Her eyes closed and she gave an exhale of slight frustration. Not again, cycled through her thoughts. Her sisters active imagination was causing terrors for the child once more. Placing a scrap of paper between the pages, Cee unfolded her legs from underneath of herself and moved towards the door of her own bedroom. She knew that Emily would not be making way to comfort the young girl. Emily never did. And Cecilia recalled that one of her Mother's migraines had sent her to bed just before supper that evening. It was certain, now, that the task was left for Cecilia alone. As it always was. Pushing open the door to Briony's room, Cecilia took a seat on the edge of the bed, and scooped up the small child in her arms. A loving hand stroked at the back of her hair as she whispered, over and over, "Come back, Briony. Come back to me." |
