Gaia Leyf was a very interesting woman. She'd insisted on feeding me before I left, and as soon as she knew I'd had proper nutritian, she kicked me out on my tucus, like I imagine she did to Henry the idiot. Abellona, who lived next door, got her magic from the sun. Usually, walking around these days, you couldn't spit without hitting a vampire or one of thier groupies, but even though it was night time, there were none of either to be found on this street.
The woman who opened the door to my inquisitive knock was what my grandpappy would have called a look'er. I called her Mrs. Leyfe, because I had it on good athority that she was married. The ring on her hand. It was a Canary diamond that matched the golden color of her hair. She wore jeans and had a baby on her hip.
I assume, ma'am, that your mother told you I'd be here?
Yes, of couse, sir. Come in, I'll just put Tom down for the night and be with you in a moment. Did mother feed you?
To within an inch of my life.
She went to put the solid little boy to bed and I studied her home. It looked much like mine had growing up, other than the fact it was huge. Toy's strewn across rugs with a grape juice stain in the middle of the room.
Sir? What is it you wanted to know about?
Everything. But, for now, why don't you tell me about Silver? What was she like growing up?
Silver...ah, my darling baby sister. She used to scare me sometimes. She was always so calm. That faded away a little after she met Finian but, still it was there. She always seemed to know things were going to work out. She never fought any hardships that came her way. I don't think I'd seen her cry since that was all she could do.
