"Let it be..."

Chapter 1

"The home..."

"UGH! Get er..up..no..not like"

"..I am like so trying!"

"Pft..Whatever, get her feet! Damnit Sonata!"

"Ughh..."

"Ar-Ar! She's waking up!"

"Good, lets get her Alpha butt up on the bed, one..two..THREE!"

The softest glimmer of light touched her eyes, but even that was enough to cause the Lioness to cringe. Adagio slunk back into reality, just as she left it. Cold. Sleep starved eyes blearly hunted for what they could find. A stray wisp of purple locks, a flash of snow white, a tinge of rust. A snort ran from her wet nose, quickly shoved away upoun the back handle of her frost bitten wrist.

"Water.."

"Dagi! Oh wowz! We were super worried. Are you ok! Here let me help..uff..ooh! You should like take my blanket, your super shivering! Oh oh! I...ack!" the youngest of the trio was quickly shoved to her Sisters side, as Aria stood over both of her Fellow Sirens, water bottle in hand.

"Adagio..like.." kneeling down, Aria Blaze huffed in the dim street light strewn room, her breath catching the last of the chilling winter air. They had managed, her and Sonata, to half drag, half heave there weakend leader back to what was just  called.."Home". Aria parted her lips to speak but was cut off as a rash of Sirens and Police blares burned the front of the Abandoned gas station. Instinct fought hard in that moment and Aria snapped her eyes from her Sisters, to the store front, then back again, all in the time it took for her to open the bottle of water for Adagio.

"Look" taken a stance over the two seated girls, the Tomboy fuffed and yanked at her ill fitting winter coat.

"We can't keep this up! A frozen burger on monday, does not pay a ice cold shower at the local homeless Shelter on friday! What are we doing...shit, I know what YOUR doing! Dagi! We basicly dragged your corpse back here! Look at yourself girl! We gotta make a move!"

Pained eyes snapped to slivers, even as those words left her Sisters throat while her own was being forced to glug snow water. Adagio watched Aria carefully. Her sibling was well on her way to ramp up yet another Rant. She for one was to tired, to hungry,and too damn cold to let it even get off the ground.

"ARIA BLAZE!" the lioness let her roar creep past dryed lips.

"Don't..just..don't. I know what you would suggest, and while we have lived in this land for far to many a year. I will NOT! Have our good names gone to rot, but pathetic theivery..."

Sonata, as always sat to the side. Her fingers now nervously running in grease and sweat soaked locks instead of rose and palm scented, she knew her Siblings well. And this was going to get, bad.

"Ha! Good names, what? The Dazzlings? Our "Band?", psh come off it girl! Listen, all bullshit aside, no like jokes or anything we havent had a Square meal in a WEEK. And without our powers.."

Adagio rose to the bait, as always.

"Oh! And I do suppouse you will contiue on with your "This is all your fault Adagio" campaign! Sorry Sis, but I really don't think..hack..cough..should be, running for office on that Slogan!"

Aria felt her jaw tighten, spinning away she paced the measely few feet of open floor in the back room of the forgotten Gas Station. Fists curling and fingers flexing.

"Okay..ok..So we don't steal, fine, whatever. Tsk, not like we havent done FAR more horrible things just-last-year..sigh.."

Sonata perked up, and ruffled herself out of Adagio's over grown mane. She had taken to gettting perhaps a bit cuddly when she was needy, and with there general lax in hygine, there was more then enough hair to snuggle in.

"Weeeeell, we coOOoouUUuuld.."

"Don't say it Sonata"

"BuuuUUUuuuttt"

"I am going to kill her Dagi, I mean it this time!"

"TheeeeEEeere is aaaaaallways the ooooOOOptiooon"

"Aria, down, no. Sonata, shut up!"

"I meaaaaan if we fooooooOOoor Realzies wanted toooooo"

"Thats it I am getting my Knife Adagio"

"ARIA!"

"Asssskkkkk fooooor heeeaaaalll....pa!"

With the last little flip of her lip, Sonata watched as her Sisters turned into litteral frozen harpies, with eyes to ripe her very throat out.

"Ehhe..what I say?"

"Ugh! Sonata, We are NOT gonna snivel and grub on our bellies back to that Scho..schoo.."

"School?"

"...Shut up Sonata, and Adagio is right! We like can't even go back if we wanted." with a huff the "tough one" flopped down, pinning there

Eldest Sister between them, Sonata and Aria assumed the positions for another night of shivers and hunger pains.

"Dagi?"

"Sigh, yes little one?"

"Cheer up, Spring is soon..and it's ok, Mama never liked the Cold either."

Gently pressing her Sisters into her, Adagio Dazzle drained what remained of her water as the three became a pile of one.

"Huff, thinking about all that again Nota?"

"Aria, let her have it."

With a grumble and a snuggle, the tomboy soaked into the meager warmth of her siblings.

"Yaaaaawwwnnn..Mama always sung so sweet...hmmm.."

With a final glance at the store front, the Alpha of the silenced sirens, drew her kin close and smiled.

"She did, we can hear songs again little one. Sleep now."

Even as her own vision faded into a chilled slumber, Adagio made sure to bring her Sisters in tighter.But even as they shared warmth, an a cold spike sat in her heart, she could have sworn she had heard there Mother just a few hours before. But now only the howl of wind and snow, and the stink of decay and darkness filled her senses. Closing her eyes, the hallowed female sighed. Tonight they would rest, again, to awaken and strive to survive come the morrow,again.

"At least your not alone now, little Maiden.."
