Fiona is gone!

Despite the worries in your heart you sleep deeply and soundly with your sister pressed to your side.

...

As you gradually surface to consciousness the unfamiliarity of your location slowly makes itself known. It was too light in here. The smells were different. The pillows too thick. Nothing was right. You start to remember where you were and who you were with...

Fiona wasn't snuggled up to your side anymore.

Reaching over to her side of the bed...you feel nothing but cold empty sheets.

Your eyes snap open and you sit up in bed. Casting your gaze left and right you don't see your sister anywhere. On the nightstand you see the silk ropes you had used to bind your sister coiled back and sitting neatly side by side. Fuck, quite the escape artist trick! Looking around you see her purse is gone. Her phone is gone. Your car keys are gone. Even your clothes are gone. It was you alone in the room with two lengths of rope and a crumpled little nightie in the corner.

Fiona was gone!

The only thing running through your mind are the words Elsie had told Fiona just before you drove away from the house. "Fiona! Listen to me. When Jesse falls asleep tonight...go away. Go away and NEVER come back!" That's what El had said. Fiona was so obedient now, but surely she wouldn't have listened to that! Not hours after being told to do it. Plus Fiona seemed to be starting to shake off the effects last night. FUCK!

Springing up out of bed you hurry to check the bathroom. Nothing. You rush to the window and peek out the curtain. Out in the nearly empty parking lot you see your car is gone. FUCK!

Your heart is racing, pounding in your ears, and your palms had developed a cold sweat. "Go away and never come back." Never. You are consumed with worry for your older sister. She was so weak, so tiny, so submissive. She didn't stand a chance by herself out there!

You pace back and forth wracking your brain with what to do. Call someone, but who? You had no idea how long she'd been gone. Perhaps hours. She could be anywhere by now. Well, you knew she had her phone on her. The first thing would be to try that. Taking a step back toward the room's landline phone you hear car pull up close your door. Looking back out the curtains...you let out a massive sigh of relief to see Fiona pulling your car into the nearest parking space.

Partially from happiness and partially from anger you barge straight out of the room in just your underwear. You storm right up to the driver's door as she steps out. She wore your t shirt and shorts, your over sized shirt more of a short dress on her than a top. She also had on a pair of large sunglasses and cheap red flip flops that you didn't recognize. In the back seat you see two shopping bags from the nearby truck stop. The morning air is cold against your bare skin, as is the pavement beneath your bare feet. But you didn't care.

"Where in the hell were you!" You shout. "I was worried...mmmmmphhhhh!"

Reaching up Fiona grabs you by the back of the head, takes a hand full of hair, and yanks you down into a deep passionate kiss.

"Mmmmmmm." You hum as your body melts to your older sister's sizzling kiss.

She holds you there a long, long time. Tongue plunging into your mouth. Lips smacking and pressing together. Where you were and how this might look...fades away into nothingness.

When she finally lets you go you let out low joyous sigh. You were sure you probably had the goofiest grin on your face but you couldn't stop yourself.

Fiona smiles that old crooked smile of hers, obviously quite satisfied with the effect she had had on you.

"Mornin baby brother." She purrs. "Sleep well lover?"

"Mmmmm. Good morning Fiona." You grin.

Leaning back into the car she grabs two, what you assumed were, coffees from the cup holders. She closes the car door with her hip and strides towards the door of your shared room.

"Grab the groceries." She snaps an order as she approaches the room door which had closed behind you. "And bring my purse, the key is in there."

You stand looking at her and slowly becoming aware that you were standing out in broad daylight in just your underwear.

"Don't just stand there dummy. Hurry up!" You couldn't see her eyes but she had a teasing grin on her face. She stands at the room door waiting and watching.

Your grin widens as you snap to it. You reach in to grab the bags and your sister's purse as you had been told.

Fiona was back. In mind and spirit at least, Fiona was back.
