Smoke Speak

I sighed. Everything is perfect, everyone is mostly safe. Can't guarantee anything for the Greenscale's, that family just loves pissing off powerful creatures.

Putting the cigarette back in my teeth I pulled my hair back leaning on the balcony railing. All I can hear is her telling me.

"No matter where you are or who your with daughter, I'll find you, and bring you back home and have you fulfill you're duty. "

I shivered. My cigarette fizzled out.

"Shit."

I twirled my hat ribbon between my claws, other hand in my suit pocket once again pulling out my cigarette box.

Behind me I hear the clicking of heels on marble. gabbing a cig from the box I dropped it back into my pocket, holding the new cigarette between my razor sharp teeth I lit it using a spark of hellfire from my finger tip. The heels stop right behind me.

"Del."

A clawed hand matching my owns appears on my shoulder.

"Destiny."

I shrug her hand off. taking the cig out of my teeth and blow smoke. She snatches it out of my hand and throws it down.

"I thought you quit."

She leans in, angerly next to me. Waiting for an answer.

"For a time, yes."

I turn twords Destiny. Her eye patch goes over her left eye as mine does my right, her dark blue dress's cut is long sleeved and flowy. her heels are a stark black as are her spade shaped earrings.

Destiny and I are spitting images of one another. Both with dark brown hair fading to a dark dirty blonde, hers is long and flowy while mine is a weird Bob thingy shaped kinda like a bunch of triangles. Our eyes are a bright red with X shaped pupils that dilate like a cats based off emotion. We have gost white skin and lots of freckles.

she frowns as I pull out another cigarette.

"Jacket would be very dissapointed."

"Well he's dead."

I raised my voice, only slightly. Barely audible, hardly enough to indicate anything.

" What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing."

"Well it's obviously something, and I won't stop nagging you until you explain yourself! "

Oh gods, her nagging is worse than Maddie's and that's an accomplishment in and of itself.

"It's Star, she had a nightmare."

"And you brother, wouldn't be upset about a normal nightmare. Let me guess, mom's involved in this somehow. "

" Pff-hahaHAHAHAHAH" I'm only hardly able to speak in-between laughter.

"What gave it away!? The fact that in never worried about anything unless it involves her or Zal?"

Destiny is excidingly worried now.

" Del this isn't funny, explain to me what happened."

" Alright."

~*~

" Holy shit. " She runs her fingers through her hair. "What if she's coming after us again? this time could result in more death then.."

she trails off.

"Heh, yeah..."

I take a pull from my cigarette. We sit in the defning silence for a moment. I turn around and begin striding twords the door. taking the cigarette out of my mouth and dissolved it in a flash of flame.

"Welp I'm off."

"And where are you off to?"

I turn back twords her still walking to the door, backwards now.

"Well work of Course. Those souls aren't going to sell themselves."

I turn back around and go inside. leaving my sister with her thoughts.
