Poison
By : Yuki Fanel
She
took a basin and a towel from one of the cabinets and went into the kitchen.
She washed the towel in the sink, rubbing it together ceremoniously. She had
learned from her mother how to work in the house despite the hostility she
displayed. Forgive and forget, her mother used to
say. She filled the basin with water and
proceeded up the stairs. There were two doors on her left and she entered the
first one. Inside, a young girl lay still on the bed, sleeping. Beside her, a
younger girl sat crying in despair.
“Veira. Please… stop crying.
She will be well.” she smiled.
“But Galandria… I
can’t stop worrying… Father isn’t here either… what if…” she said in between
sobs.
“Hush, child. There is nothing to fear. If we
are here for her, she will be well.”
But
inside her, there was a voice screaming. That is if she will hold on until chichiue comes back… She shook her head and took her
little sister in her arms. She whispered soothing words in her ears, calming
the chaotic heart the child bore. She has been doing this for the past few
days. Nothing has helped them but the small bottle of serum Creed gave them. Until the 28th of May… Chichiue… please come back…
“You still believe in that bastard? Tisk tisk, my little dears. The moon is high once again.
By the next moon, she
will be as good as a vegetable.” a deep monotone echoed from behind.
“Bahnwelt, what are
you doing out of your cage?” she said, not looking at the man behind her.
