Bellatrix sat on the roof of the safe house, just outside of Nagasaki proper, and stared down at the two boys as they joked. It was obvious that Jude wasn’t having nearly as much fun as Kyle, but they were both smiling. It warmed her dead little heart to see them getting along so well… It nearly brought bloodied tears to her eyes.
Sighing softly, she stood, turning those sapphire orbs, pupils dilated obnoxiously, towards the full moon that cascaded gentle light down upon them. Her smile faded as she thought about it all, about everything that was going on all around her. She had heard whispered rumors from the Johns she continued to entertain about a certain other Ravnos, threatening their territory. Their descriptions made her skin crawl, and she knew…
It might soon be time to leave again, to pack her bags and get her ticket for the long way ‘round. She had no interest in abandoning Nagasaki and the family she had managed to make, but if he had found her…
She scooped the neck of her whiskey bottle into her hand, cradling it against her chest as, finally, she turned back to the boys. She stepped off the roof and fell soundlessly to the ground, landing on a single foot as she tossed back a heavy swig of the burning amber liquid. Her eyes were clouded over with sadness.
Turning to look at the beautiful man she had fallen in love with, so long ago now, she felt her heart squeeze in her chest as she thought about how much he might miss her, when she was gone. She had a plane ticket to Taiwan, somewhere beautiful and foreign…
“But it sure would be prettier… with you.”
“What, babe?” he asked, turning his single eye on her, grinning and reaching out for the drink. She grinned up at him, slipping under his arm and tucking herself comfortably against his side.
“Nothing. Never mind. What are you guys up to?”
