Dust or Gold?

Silence

The short ginger fell to the ground after the fight was over. Vivi ran over to her and inspected her wounds, then the terrible realisation came..

"S-S-Siri?!" Vivi stuttered out, Ida was confused. Did they know each other?

"Vivi? Are you okay?" Ida asked.

"Help me carry her inside, it's getting dark and cold." Vivi tried to hold it together, Ida furrowed her brows, she lifted Siri up and then gave her to Vivi.

.

"Help me you dumb butt! Her knee is bleeding!" A light voice said, probably from a child. A child with long hair was holding an even smaller child, the bigger child's eyes were filled with tears. The smaller one was sobbing, but it tried to tell the bigger one that it was okay.

.

"SNAP OUT OF IT!" Vivi was enraged, they were inside the house and Siri was on a bed, still unconscious. Vivi was checking through Siri's body, hoping for the love of god that there wasn't any bite marks.

"Sorry!"

"Check her legs!" Vivi opened up Siri's shirt. Then Siri woke up.

She instantly sat up and took out a gun and pointed it at Vivi's head

"WHO ARE YOU?! DON'T TOUCH ME!" Siri pushed it against Vivi's head, hard.

"I-I'm you sister, Vivi! I've known y-you your whole life!" Vivi's eyes were filled with tears, Ida then understood what was going on.

"LIAR! I'VE NEVER HAD A SISTER! I WAS AN ONLY CHILD!" This time it was Siri's turn to be outraged. Siri reached out for her pocket, Ida's reflexes tingled and she took out her machete and put it under Siri's throat.

"Put. Down. The. Gun." Ida said steadily, almost like a threat. Vivi's eyes widened, she looked horrified. Siri half grinned like a mad person.

"WHAT KIND OF THREAT IS THAT?!" Siri pulled the trigger.

.

"Are we there yet?" Matilda whined, Julia turned to her,

"Yeah, just a little longer. Sofie, is your arm alright?" Julia looked at Sofie's arm, it was still patched up.

"Yeah it's fine, it wasn't that bad. That bitch knew what she was doing, though. If I hadn't backed off quicker my whole arm would probably be gone." She made a hand motion over her arm as to show where it's be cut off.

"This is exactly why I tell you not to steal stuff from people, at least if it isn't a Sempit, then smash its skull and take the rest." Julia laughed out, Sofie laughed along but Matilda remained silent.

"Oh right, sorry, I didn't mean to-" Julia tried to apologise to Matilda, but she cut her off.

"No no, it's fine. What you did was to save me, I-I'm over it." She faked a smile, but it was so fake not even the most oblivious person would get fooled by it.

They continued walking for a few minutes in silence, then they saw a big mansion. They walked inside, the walls were deep red, and the floor was cold. The air smelled like soup and fire, it was warm, but also cold at the same time. Like when you're facing a fire on a winter night, your front is warm but your back is ice cold.

"WHAT KIND OF THREAT IS THAT?!" Matilda yelped and hid behind Julia, Sofie grabbed her bat.

There was a click, then silence.
