Chapter 1

"God damn it! UNITY!"
Unity staggered intothe kitchen, holding her head. "What's with the yelling?"
"Are you serious? Look at this mess."
"Will you chillax? I'm going to clean it up."
"You better. I've got to get towork."
"I will. As soon as this headache disappears."
"Now, Unity." Unity saluted mockingly as her sister walked to the laundry room. "UNITY!"
"What now, Wren?"
Wren stormed back into the kitchen, holding a shirt with a hole burnt in it. "What the hell is this?"
"Fucked." Unity giggled.
"This is not funny. I'm going to have to buy a new one and that's going to make me late."
"Come on, you're over-reacting. It's not the only shirt you own."
"No, but it was my only clean work shirt. What happened?"
"Flaming sambuca accident."
"WHAT?!"
"I had a choice. Shirt or the house. If you think about it, really I'm a hero."
"You're an idiot. There's a fire blanket near the stove."
"Oops."
"Oops? That's all you have to say?"
"I'll pay for your new shirt."
"With what money?"
"What do you want from me, Wren?"
"You should know by now, Unity."
"I obviously don't, so just tell me!"
"I don't have time for this. Get this place cleaned up. Alone. I don't want your friends here. Not today."
"Why?"
"Do you know what today is?"
"Saturday?"
Wren sighed. "Never mind. I'm going to work."
Wren grabbed her purse, keys and jacket, and left. "What's up her butt?"
