Sisters De Milo

Venus

I played the violin. The bow just slid along the taut strings. I played the way I felt right now. Lonely, abandoned, broken... That's how my music sounded.

My memories came back.

"Hahaha!"

"Take it easy, darling. You have to be gentle with the violin. "

"OK."

"Let's go to bed. It's too late. "

"Can you play something for me on the violin until I fall asleep?"

„Of course... Did you settle down? Here I go. "

Why? Why was that supposed to be like that?

The melody became rough. But soon she was gentle again. I moved in the dark according to the melody. I was almost unaware of what I was doing. I let my feelings and melody guide me. I was spinning, falling to my knees, swinging my hips, raising my legs high...

And for the end I made a big leap. And then I stopped playing. I took a deep breath.

"It was nice, but sad at the same time."

"Exactly."

"You look upset. Are you thinking about the past? "

I turned and saw my face. Only instead of a dark blue braid I had black. And her eyes were red.

"You can tell by the way you play."

"I know."

A person who looked like me jumped at me. She had a creepy smile on her face. She tilted her head and looked at me with her red eyes.

"It's been a long time since you've played something like that. Is it because of those weird people?"

I turned and found a large white armchair behind me. In all this darkness, that armchair was the only light-colored object. I sat in it and set the violin down on a table that suddenly appeared to my left. As soon as I settled down in front of me, a glass and a bottle of wine formed floating in the air. The bottle rushed towards the glass and poured wine into it. I grabbed a glass and drank some.

"You know yourself that the Temple of the Demons is involved in this whole story."

"Yes!" Said a creepy person who looked like me.

She sat in front of me on the floor with her legs crossed. She didn't take her eerie smile off her face.

"We should go there. I planned that a long time ago. But I had never had a chance before. I couldn't just leave my sisters and property. I would stay too long on the way there and back. "

"This is our chance." she said.

"Yes, truth. But I can't just take those freaks for free. "I sighed.

"I should think of something. That rabbit, Usagi, had a good idea. But what can they do for us to satisfy us and to agree to help them? "I thought.

"You'll think of something, Venus. But, did you feel that too? "

"What do you mean?" I pretended to have no idea what she meant.

"I mean Leonardo, you fool. You and I felt it."

I sighed and put my hand on my forehead.

"Don't start again, please."

"Come on, Venus!"
