Sister Sister|| Ruby & Norah
It had been at least ten years since Norah, known then as Rachel, had seen her sister, but when a man claiming he knew her and where she was showed up Norah was intrigued. Assuming her sister had stayed in Oregon she was dismayed to find that Ruby had taken it upon herself to go and find Rachel. Praying that because contact had never been made Ruby had not found her, she couldn’t bear to think that any part of her family, especially her sister knew the things she had done when arriving in California. All these thoughts ran through her mind as she drove to where Ruby was now living.
Norah knew it was probably crazy to get in the car with a man she didn’t know, but she was scheduled to work that night so if something happened Seth would be on the look-out. The truth was that all rational thought went out the window when the man named Crispin showed her his phone and the picture of the smiling woman sitting in a field of flowers. She didn’t look that different from how Norah remembered her, but she looked happy and that she was glad for. Her own life had been anything but a fairy tale, her prince charming turning more into the big bad wolf than anything else. Sometimes she half thought she wouldn’t make it to eighteen during that time, and then when she did and was tossed to the streets she was more lost than ever.
Turning onto a dirt road Norah was dragged from her thoughts as she saw a group of buildings come into view. Arching a brow at what appeared to be a commune of some kind she kept her mouth shut, a feat for her, and waited until they parked. Crispin turned to her and smiled, “I’m going to leave you with my brother Silas while I get Ruby, I know she is excited to see you.” A warm smile lit his face but quickly faded the moment she stepped out of the car. “Welcome to my parlor said the spider to the fly,” he mumbled as he stepped out and raised his hand in a wave to Silas on the porch.
