Silver Shallows

"Farewell."

Becca looked up at them with a raised eyebrow. "Is she okay..?" She asked hushly.

Ivie looked down, fiddling with her fingers. "Well, she was in the hospital for a little while.. and then she.. disappeared. Me and Justin have been trying to find her." She said with a small shrug before looking up at Becca. "But we have hope."

Becca nodded. She never understood that would, only because she always expected the worse. "Right, I will help." She began to feel extremely guilty, and she doesn't know why. What happened to Brianna wasn't her fault. Maybe it was just because she didn't wish her a happy birthday six years ago before herself went missing, but she wondered why they were still looking, She guessed they really did have hope.

Ivie nodded and left the room to get ready, Becca could tell that talking about it, made it worse for her. Justin followed after her and they got ready. Becca sighed as she stood, walking over to the front door, opening it to feel the breeze.

—Becca shield her eyes from the cold when that bursted through it. It was winter, and it was cold. She waited until the bus pulled up before dashing through the little bit of snow that was in the ground to get on it. She rubbed her hands together, though she had on mittens, they just didn't seem warm enough.

She smiled when she saw Cas at the end of the bus, wrapped up in a blanket. Becca smiled and sat in the seat beside him, he instantly pulled the blanket away to wrap it around the both of them.

"It's freezing, isn't?" He asked with a small chuckle. he had his knees pulled up to his chest as he tried to keep warm.

"Very, I hate the cold weather." She muttered, leaning her head on Cas's shoulder.

"Don't worry, christmas break is gonna be here soon, and we can sleep in." Cas hummed happily at the idea. Becca nodded, slowly smiling as her eyes closed.

—

Becca rubbed at her temples. She had no idea why she thought of this memory. Nothing specific happened. It confused her and all she wanted to do was... she didn't know. She couldn't go home, she couldn't just change. She groaned in frustration as she sat on the steps, her head in her hands. She ran her tongue of her fangs, making her cringe. She perked up when she heard an animal scamper through the woods near them. She'd have to get used to them anyways. Becca arose from the steps and slowly made her way into the woods.

Her stomach practically growled, God, the last time she had blood felt like forever ago. Becca slowly crept into the woods, smiling as she noticed a fox. She quickly chased after it, easily catching up to it and ending it's life. Becca pulled away with a small smirk as she wiped at her mouth. She then jerked around when she heard them calling.

"Coming!" She called and quickly, made her way back.

"Ready?" Ivie asked, smoothing down her hair a bit.

"Yeah, I guess?" She said with a small chuckle. Her laugh almost sounded foreign to her. She doesn't remember the last time she laughed.

Ivie nodded to Justin who grabbed a hold of her hand and they walked, Becca following behind them. Her mind was racing and her head ached, she couldn't seem to relax, even for a second. She blinked, rubbing at her eyes before stopping in her path.
