Vamplayers
“Cara doesn’t come back to the dorm that night. But then, neither does Alice.I get some rest, just enough to be vital in case anything shakes loose the next day. The small, metal bed squeaks every time I move. I wake myself out of a finicky sleep, look at the clock on my bare wooden nightstand, and know there’s no use even trying anymore.My running shoes are on the floor, under the window, beckoning me to join Tristan for another early morning run. I stand, stretch, reach for them, then think better of it.Do I really want to go there?Today?Instead, I pace the floors in the dark, hearing them creak beneath me, roaming in and out of my Sister’s empty rooms, imagining them walking in at that very moment, seeing me, hugging me, explaining to me, making me understand, reassuring me. Isn’t that what Sisters are for?It’s lonely here in these four silent rooms, this grim building groaning, shivering around me.Light from a streetlamp four stories down filters through the cheap, drawn curtains.
