And here is the drama train rolling in :O 300+ The silence stretched between Brooklyn and Mati, but neither of them seemed inclined to break it. There was no need for words and the white girl looked anxiously towards her sister. How they had both grown, how easily they had moved from childhood into their teens. They'd both be a year old soon, but how much had their relationship changed? Mati had become the stronger of the litter, while Brooklyn had taken something from Naniko, her grandmother's eyes and perhaps something of her father. Like Haven, who shared his colouring, she probably shared his size. With a shake of her head, the girl banished all thoughts of him and focused on finding their mother. Halifax loomed ever closer and they reached it in the same kind of silence they had been sharing for a while now, though Naniko's scent had become ever stronger. "She's around here, somewhere," Brooklyn stated, feeling the need to break the quiet. The smell of gasoline caught Brooklyn's attention and then, from somewhere a little way off, smoke rose over the sleepy houses. Her blue eyes widened. Her mother had done this, for her scent lingered strongest here and she knew, in some instinctive way, that she had started the fire. "Mati! Look over there!" Her voice was pitched higher than normal and fear was clearly audible. With a frightened glance towards her sister, she tore from the brown female's side and ran, ran like the wind, her cloak flaring up behind her. She knew her sister would follow. Brooklyn turned left and right through the streets of Halifax, following her mother's scent, hoping that she was safe. Rounding a corner, the white girl saw her mother's shifted form standing in front of the burning building. "Momma!" she shouted, lunging towards Naniko. They needed to get away, fast, before something terrible happened. |
