Ebony

Chapter Seven

****Flashback****

Ebony was sitting on the couch in her pajamas, barely awake. She was planning on getting some coffee at her favorite cafe, as soon as she gathered the energy to get up. She heard her phone buzzing on the other side of the room.

"Ugghhhhh, who could possibly be calling me right now?" She mumbled, flopping off of the couch onto the floor. She stood up, brushed herself off, and shuffled over to her phone. It was Ivory, her sister. Immediately she noticed something was off.

"Ivory? What's going on? You're breathing funny,"

"Can you, uh, meet me for coffee?" Ivory said. That's... No reason to be nervous, but okay. Ebony remembered that she was planning on getting coffee anyway.

"Yeah, is Demon Bakerz okay?" She asked, crossing her fingers.

"Yeah, meet you in ten," she replied, and hung up.

Timeskip

Ebony pulled open the door to her favorite cafe, scanned the citizens inside, and spotted Ivory. Ebony smiled at her sister even though she was staring down at the cup in her hands. She walked up to the counter, ordered her regular, and sat down across from Ivory.

"Now will you tell me what's going on?" Ebony asked.

Ivory leaned forward, hesitating. "I had a dream," she said.

She choked on her drink as her eyes widened. A dream? A thousand thoughts swirled in her head. "Y-you had a dream? Like a real dream? At night? Asleep?"

Ivory nodded.

"You know what that means, right?"

"A vision of the future above," she whispered.

"Yeah. That's not good, Ivy, they can exploit those if you let the officials know,"

"You are the officials, Ebony," she said, eyes wide. "You can't tell anybody,"

"I'm supposed to report this though, it's part of the job..." Ebony sighed, sipping her coffee and thinking. She shook her head.

"Please, Ebony, please don't tell the rest. Do it for me?"

She sighed again. "Fine. Just don't do anything stupid about it." Ivory smiled and thanked Ebony, grabbing her hand. They both stood up, hugged, and went their separate ways.
