It was still nice, waking up to a quiet place. A quiet room, with her brother curled up beside her. Corey shifted briefly closer to Roland, nuzzling at his hair gently before she eased away. She had every intention of getting up, getting breakfast, and bringing something back for him. However, when she reached for her blades, she froze. Her hand hovered over the nightstand, over the wrist sheath that held her blades, and a sick sort of sound caught in her throat.
"That's a neat necklace."
"My mom got it for me when I was born. I've been wearing it since I was seven. Haven't gone anywhere without it. I don't even take it off to shower."
"What is it?"
"It's a crown, for my name, and the gemini symbol. She had it specially made for me ..."
Corey drew in a deep, hitching breath, and screamed. She swept her hand violently across the nightstand, sending the necklace, her daggers, and the alarm clock crashing to the carpet. She scrambled back on the bed, shaking her brother, whimpering pathetically as she tried to wake him up. "Roly," she panted. "Roly, Roly wake up," she begged him, finding herself edging closer to a panic. This was impossible. This wasn't happening.
That couldn't be here!
He was dead, her father and Roly had killed him, that couldn't be here. "Roland!" she sobbed as she turned toward him, staring down at him, her face a mask of raw panic.
