Kyreian smiled at her parents, glad that she had stayed there. They had made progress, she thought, family-wise anyways. They actually talked more and she had the invitation to come over or call anytime just to chat. She waved goodbye and got into the taxi that would take her away from a home she thought she'd never have. It was amazing to think that her own parents were mutants as well...
Kyreian looked up at her building and took a deep breath. She went inside and used the stairs, going to her apartment. It hadn't really changed much. She set her bag down on her bed and sat on it herself. She looked around and sighed. She pushed the button on her answering machine and she listened to the two messages about jobs. She had missed the window for both, so she just erased them and started to clean her apartment. Amazingly enough, she even began to hum to herself. She was marginally happy.
The glass that she was putting away dropped from frozen fingers and shattered on the kitchen floor. She was very still, her body barely even breathing. Her eyes were glazed over, making the jewels that they were seem dull and dead. Within moments, she took a deep breath, life returning. The waking dreams were starting to get worse. She shuddered. Dante, as always, was present in this one. Ky put a hand out onto the counters edge to keep herself from falling. Her breathing was ragged as she tried not to cry again. She had done enough of that over the past few weeks. Taking a shaky deep breath, she stood straight and found her broom.

It was late and she had changed into a pair of black jeans and a black tank top. Her pale skin seemed to glow in the night light as she stood at her balcony, hands on the rails, looking up at the stars. She was trying to count them, ridiculously enough. It went well for a little bit, then she had to start over again. And again. It kept her mind from remembering her dreams, awake or not. They were always the same. Darkness and death, often, Dante's death. She shuddered for a moment, then returned to her counting.
