Silence.
“Did you know?” Her first words in days
“Know what?”
“That Cain was my biological father?”
I shook my head,
“No, No I didn’t know.”
She went silent again as her eyes moved back to glance at the window. The weather had utterly sucked since we’ve been back. Nothing but dark clouds and heavy rain. I couldn’t help but think how the weather outside reflected how she was probably feeling on the inside. Heavy dark clouds during the day, and dangerous lightning storms at night.
“What did you say to him?”
“Catalina I-”
“What did you say to him?”
“We spoke about a decision that he had to make.”
“Decision about what?”
“A decision that only he could make. Do not worry about it.”
Catalina went silent once more.
“Everything is going to be okay. I promise you everything will be okay.”
I stood up, tucking the thick, heavy blanket back around her before making my way to the door. As I went to close it, I heard her faint whisper,
“That’s what Lucifer said too.”

2 Weeks Later
I heard a door slowly creek open and heard tiny, almost hesitant footsteps.
Shit.
I got off the couch and turned around in time to see Catalina standing in the entryway to the hallway. I met her halfway as she spoke,
“I’m going to go change and then I’ll meet you outside for training.”
She moved to walk past me but I reached out and gently grabbed her wrist,
Play your cards right Gabriel. Don’t fuck this up.
“You should shower first, you kinda stink.”
Oh, what the hell did I say that for?!
She smirked, not her usual smirk though. This one was different. Colder. She turned and headed towards her room.
She’s like a damn ghost.
Even though she had smirked at me, it wasn’t her. Some part of her wasn’t healed yet and was still lost. As if she had burned away the part of herself that made her unique.
