Inheritance, Part 4 - Friends

She had unsettling dreams.

She’d had unsettling dreams ever since her mom died. She could never quite remember what happened in them when she woke, but the weird feeling that settled into the pit of his stomach didn’t quite dissipate, carrying into the days. She also often woke up with at least one, sometimes more things floating around her room. Mostly it was harmless stuff, but one morning she had woken up to the glass of water she kept on her bedside table falling on her head, so it wasn’t ideal.

Today, however, she just woke with an emptiness in her chest.

She laid in her bed for a long while after opening her eyes, just staring at the ceiling. Downstairs waited answers she simultaneously wanted and didn’t want.

Her phone beeped under her pillow.

A message, from Siina. And a few others, from Aksa last night. And one from Kelly.

Rowan smiled, just a little. It was good to know her friends were there for her.

She sent a message into the group chat, telling them all that she was fine and that she’d tell them everything once she’d gotten to the bottom of it herself. With a new vigour she got up from bed, put on her clothes and marched downstairs.

She found them in the kitchen, finishing off breakfast.

“Alright,” she told Letitia, who set down her coffee cup, “tell me everything you know about my mother.”

Holy shit, two days in and I'm already late. Sorry about that. I had a case of parents over yesterday and I thought I'd have time to write in the evening but I didn't. But here's something I guess. It's really short, I know, but I don't have time to write anything else atm, I'll invest into the next part.

Your next topic is "Colours"

Bye.
