After a minute she felt as if she heard her sisters voice and got to her feet (which seemed to move by themselves she was moving very fast indeed)she arrived at a small yellowed house and knocked.
On the other side of town Paige was performing another of a million location spells she had tried many times to find her lost sister/daughter, though she knew the logical and rational thing was to have given up hope something within her told her tonight her sister would return. Paige ran to the door as a knock shocked her out of her trance.Could it be?
A woman answered,she had long black hair tinged respectifully with small amounts of gray not to much but just enough to let you know that she was not a young woman, and had the smooth lines that had graced Mercedes' mothers face. Mercedes blinked and Paige as always took the initiative and grabbed Mercedes hugging her close"Baby girl where have you been mon chere , you look so pale and your clothes thats the same outfit ...comein comein." Mercedes could scarsley believe it, it was like looking into the face of her mother, but knew insticntively this was Paige . They walked into the Foyer when Paige could no longer contain herself,"Tell me where have you been all these years? Corte' came to the house the night you disappeared looking , screaming for you , he was positive father had locked you up, father had him arrested for your murder he spent weeks in jail til it was positive you had not been killed...at this Mercedes looked at her hands that were now a dulled gray instead of her lively almond brown. |

She was jogged from her thoughts by Paige grabbing her and dragging her to the Living room. Paige looked over cautiously at her sister she had seen the greyed out look before in her voodoo rituals while raisng zombies but there was something else about Mercedes , something that made Paige feel uncomfortable, yet the gaze her sister gave was one of reassurence and security (Mercedes was truly happy to see Paige)and something more ..Hunger."Ahh," Paige said to herself then to Mercedes "What a terrible hostess I am being let me get you something to eat and drink ..you go change and I will get you something to put color back into those cheeks" .Mercedes did not argue but asked one simple question," Where is the bathroom?", Paige was walking out of the room and called back "Top of the stairs to the left and my room is down the hall on the right, get you something to wear".Mercedes proceeded up the stairs and to Paiges room and took a light powder blue T-shirt and a pair of white jeans from the closet and laid them on the bed ,Paige was right she would feel better if she changed. She went to the bathroom removed her clothes and took a hot shower , when she finished she dried off and stalked nude out the bathroom to her sister's bedroom , it didnot occur to her that her sister might have company,male company,in the house. |

After she went into the room and dressed, she noticed that Paige had a little vanity stacked with scents and make-up, Mercedes decided to apply some eyeshadow and lipstick. Just something to make her feel better, after all how many times does a woman wake from a fall and the whole world has seemed to age 5 years in a day? She would go out tonight.She thought to herself, Damn Corte' how could he marry , even if so called 5 years had passed how could he??? Well tonight she would make him jealous find a man, date him openly and she would return to Corte's house and let him see the fun she had ,yes thats it exactly. |
