Tell Me A Story: Chapter 10
A Tale of Two Sisters
There were few things in the world as peaceful as curling up underneath a warm quilt with a book, especially on a cold winter night. But Lightning had a feeling that her peace wouldn’t be lasting much longer. The pitter-patter of small feet came from outside her door, and there was only one person in the house with feet that small.
Lightning smiled. She had to hand it to Diana. Normally, her younger daughter was quite noisy. She liked to throw what little weight she had around. It probably made her feel bigger, which was something that Diana wanted with every fibre of her being. But Diana could also sneak around

Éclair and the Beast
Fang looked down at the mess in the microwave and grimaced. It wasn't that she couldn't cook – she was a survivor if nothing else – but even after years of practice, she still hadn't gotten completely used to the technology that the former inhabitants of Cocoon seemed to love so much. Well, at least she still had a few hours before Lightning got back. The other woman might not be as good a cook as Serah, but she was no slouch in the kitchen, and Lightning was just as uptight about keeping the kitchen tidy as she was about keeping everything else tidy.
