I opened the doorway and stepped back, as she walked through the hall not a word spoken between us yet we had said so very much. She looked back her chrome eyes on mine. I motioned to the bottle of red wine on the table set with two glasses. She nodded and I poured. Half way through my first cup and after her second she smiled pleasantly and said, "I don't know what I am doing here but I just have to see you."
I sipped from my glass my eyes adverted. It was typical, I knew she'd come back for more. They always do. Though I kept telling myself she was no different from the rest I knew it was a lie. She was special; after all she was my little sister.
"I am so sorry I don't mean to come here unannounced..."
I smiled as she stammered on so politely, she was always so well mannered so well bred, compared to her I was always the mangy mutt of an older brother.
"If you busy I can come back another time..." She pulled out a black planner one with darling little puppy prints. Just like her to have something sweet and innocent. She then began looking for a more appropriate date.
"How would the first be it's on a Saturday, and I can come by after you get done at the establishment."
I chuckled at that, since when was working at an underground lycanthope bar and nightclub an "establishment?"
"Sis... Saturday is also the full moon, shouldn't you be hiding under the covers from us freaks?" I lifted a brow. "With sweet Jarred?"
She shook her head sending her black hair back and forth across her cheeks, "No Darrian you know that isn't fair I never said you were a freak, I was there the whole time you were in the hospital."
I shrugged "So you held my hand... after that it was a year until you could even stay in a room alone with me." I threw back my head and chugged down the remainder of my wine. "And don't give me that, I was being cautious shit, you were afraid I was a monster, I had to go through the whole thing alone, because all of a sudden I didn't even have a family... not two brothers one being my twin and not even my little sister, not to mention mom or dad, Are all the pictures of me still hidden away so that guests don't ask about the son who disappeared?"
I couldn't hid my anger in that moment it all came back to me, the attack by a seemingly harmless date, the way she tore my entire stomach out and how I laid there for two days before someone found me. Then months in the hospital and the diagnostics... well hate to tell you but your now a Lycanthrope and will never have your life back. No it wasn't fair and I can't say it didn't hurt when they all forgot about me. But I found a new family one who accepted me; I became numb and learned to forget my birth family, all except her.
Tears formed in her chrome eyes, "I am sorry you felt alone Darrian, But I still love you and I want to be here for you."
"Well its too late Allysha. I said coldly. "You can't even bare my touch..." I looked at her then saying without word how much it hurt when she left.
"Don't call me Allysha... call me Ally and stop thinking I don't want you to touch me, why do you think I am here?" She smiled briefly and tilted her head. "You're my big brother and I could never stop loving you."
