Dust or Gold?

The past

"So! before everyone leaves the table, you have to tell 3 things about yourself so that everyone gets to know you a little better!" Vivi said after everyone finished eating dinner.

"Oh hell no! I ain't telling these people shit about myself!" Ida shouted and crossed her arms over her chest.

"I don't see a reason to why this is a good idea." Siri mumbled.

"Aww c'mon guys! It'll be fun!" Vivi said enthusiastically. "Sofie, why don't you start?" She continued.

"Might as well. Hm.... well my family is asian as you might see on me," She gestured towards herself. "But they're pretty dead now so..... I already had a collection of sharp objects before this all started..... and I'm definitely.... Absolutely...... the biggest pervert you'll ever come around!" She grinned towards the end.

"Alright! Your turn Maria!" Everyone went dead quiet.

"Who's Maria?" Sofie asked.

"Sorry, I meant Matilda." Vivi corrected herself.

"Okay... Well....."

.

".....And I've had many weird dreams lately... It's always something about us but I don't know if this makes any sense to you at all...." I said nervously, looking down.

"W-What are you talking about? It doesn't make any sense at all!" Vivi was sweating now, nearly fumbling over her words.

".... You've been acting weirdly, Vivi. What's with the reaction? Do you know something about this?" Julia asked, Vivi was about to panic.

"N-No! Not at all! I seriously don't know about any of this!" Vivi shouted, a little too loud for her to still seem innocent about it.

"LIAR!!"

.

"I-I used to own a cat! It was very fluffy and really cute..... My parents were killed right in front of me....And..... I'm not really fond of weapons...." Matilda finished.

"Then I guess it's my turn," Julia look a deep breath. " Well, I was the one who killed Matilda's parents, but it was because they had turned, so I didn't have much on another choice. I used to work at a grocery store before I turned 20. And, " She showed the back of her hands, the right hand had an H and the left had a V. " And," She pulled up her sleeve, "It says 'MAKE PASTA NOT WAR', and that's three facts about me."

"Ohhhh, Vivi make us some pasta sometime!" Sofie said cheerfully, Vivi laughed.

"Sure, but only if we find some pasta so that I can't cook it. Also it's your turn Siri." Vivi said.

"....Fine... I like chocolate fudge. I used to have a lot longer hair, but I had to cut it off because it was always in the way. I used to be in a group with two girls called Elsa and Ellen, I used to take care of them like my little sisters, but they got infected and I had to kill them." She said quietly.

"I got separated from my little sister Ellen......" Ida stood up abruptly, she ran into her room without looking at the others.

"Hey--" Julia tried, but was cut off.

"Don't. Let her be. Well, let's go to bed now, It's getting late." Vivi said when she also stood up.

Ida took out a small picture of a little girl from her pocket.

"Ellen.... I'm sorry..." Tears rolled down down her cheeks, she choked back her sobs.

"So... so sorry....." She put a hand in her hair to calm herself down, it didn't really work though. Soon she felt cold again...

.

"Professor Jones, I have a question!" A figure I now recognised to be Vivi raised her hand.

"Please dude- uh Vivinette, don't be so formal with me, call me Al. And what's up?" A tall man with blonde hair said. He looked like he was around the age of 20 and was wearing a brown bomber jacket.

"Okay 'Al', What would happened if someone made a drink or something that makes people immortal?" She asked, Al crossed his arms and scratched his head.

"I mean, the person that comes up with it would get disgustingly rich," He laughed, the rest of the class did to. "And that probably wouldn't ever happened, people need to die sometime. But it'd be cool if someone succeeded."
