"Let it be..."

"uff! Ok again, on three!"

"R-right!"

"1..2...3!!"

The duo of grunts filled the frosted over gas station, Aria nearly buckling and Sonata barely able to hold her own, between the starved girls hung the barely awake form of Adagio Dazzle. The Alpha female barely more then bones and drawn flesh, her figure ruined all the more by a night spent trembling and shivering in her Sisters arms.

"Dagi? Dagi!"

Ruby eyes blurred between patches of red and rings of dark exhaustion, fighting to find the dim morning light, Adagio glanced from left to right. With a nod to Aria she turned her attention to the gaunt blue Wolfess of the trio, a ruined gloved hand touched her lean chin before her feet found purchase. Righting herself as best she could, the former Lioness used her Sisters to stable her stance.

"I'm here Sonata, I'm here...I see we made it home. What happened?"

The former tomboy of the group frowned and knelt to gather the meager bedding.

"Tsk, those Rain bitches got a few good shots in, lost your knife though. We made it back around dark, psh..fucking bitches."

With a hand to her eyes, Adagio took a better look at her sibling, she took in the large black and blue around her jaw, and how Aria clearly was favoring her left side. When small blue hands found her own, she turned to give a weak smile to Sonata. The youngest of the Trio was trembling from head to toe, and despite the cold of the abandoned building, the Lioness was sure it wasn't from the chill in the air.

"We..we thought, I mean you..Dagi you couldn't stop coughing!"

In a blurred movement, she tugged the smaller girl into her embrace. The hug startled all three of them, Aria knelt and just starred up at the showing of emotion with her jaw slacked. Sonata for her part went ridged, only to slowly relax and take in the rare gift that was a hug from her Sister.

"I will never leave you, either of you. We may be sick, broken and starving...but we are Sirens. WE ARE, Sisters. Look at me Nata..."

Tear filled eyes lifted to take in the stalwart yet exhausted features of her Leader.

"Aria.."

A free golden hand, slipped down and offered to that of her purple fleshed bruiser. Taken her hand and pulling firmly she pulled her Sister into a tight embrace as well, the three girls lingering in each others touch and presence.

"Thank you, both of you."

Such a simple gesture, common to others, was a rare gem in the darkness to the Sirens. The moment lingered, a few shuddered sobs, whispers and more then a bit of cuddling later, the trio broke and Adagio summoned her last reserves to take on her more well known prideful pose.

"Right! So, breakfast!?"

Wipping tears from her cheeks, Sonata bounced back with a gleeful smile and giggle.

"Weeeelll! We do have some pizza left, you know Aria like totally pigged out on it, she didn't even take off the coffee grounds!"

A sneer ran the pig tailed girls features as she grabbed her blue sibling by the collar and got right into the Wolfess face.

"Hey!! I found it, i get to eat it!"

Grinning, Sonata Dusk lifted her nose with one finger and made pig noises, this of course forced Adagio to intervene and catch the in coming punch.

"Alright, killing each other comes AFTER my stomach stops eating itself..hack..cough..."

With a huff, the two separated and returned to tending to more mundane matters. Aria stowed their "bed" while Sonata scrounged for what food they had saved. The Lioness peered around and took a moment to brace her frail figure up along the wall. Her eyes lingered at the hip bones poking out of Sonata's stolen winter jacket. They narrowed at just how many notches Aria was forced to use on her belt to keep her patched pants up. Finally they came to rest upon her own figure, how many weeks had it been since she no longer needed a bra? Even under the layer upon layer of ill smelling shirts and leggings, she could feel her knees knock. Had she really ever worn a size 14 around her hips? With a hiss, the Alpha spied her once fleshy bicep, and cringed as she was able to wrap her hand around it, fingers over lapping.

"We have to do something..."

Sonata perked up from the bag of Convenient store food and frowned.

"Dagi?"

"We HAVE to do something. Maybe..."

Adagio drew silent, her mind slipping into a dark place. They COULD rob a store, it would be best to hit a pharmacy, with Aria's stomach troubles, her own issues as well as the fact Sonata was suffering from frost bite. But as fast as the though came to steal, it was shoved away by pride. Adagio hated humans, they made her sick just to be around them. But she wouldn't lower herself to steal from them. Aria drew her gaze as the tomboyish girl snarled and made a fist in her direction.

"Damn it Adagio! Just let me do it! You wont be part of it if I just.."

Feeling her own mind being read allowed the Alpha to spin on her heels and glare.

"WE are one Ari! What you do reflects on US...I won't let us become worse then gutter trash. We ARE Sirens!"

"No Dagi, we-are-STARVING TO DEATH! You are right, we NEED to do something. Right, fucking, NOW!"

Sonata lingered in her stance over the plastic bag, her jaw tight, and eyes lingering on the floor.

"I am really hungry Dagi..I..I..maybe we could, try the homeless shelter again?"

Pride swelled in her chest, as the Alpha rubbed her brow. She lingerd for a moment, taken in the suggestion before looking around for answers. Her eyes snapped to the door, head cocked.

"Why is the door open?"

Aria snapped to action, her leaned figure stalking like a predator up to the door. She checked the lock, then the handle and frowned.

"We shut it last night, I know it!"

With a jerk she opened the police tap covered door and glared out into the morning light. Her hands turning to fists as the tomboy knelt over tracks in the snow.

"These are ours..."

Being joined by her Sisters, Aria gestured to the duo of tracks, with drag lines between them.

"We carried you in last night but..these.."

Pointing to a new set of foot prints, the pig tailed bruiser rose and sneered.

"We where followed..."
