Challenge: #72 forgotten and remembered

Summary: Martin Fitzgerald receives a call.

 

 

Martin’s face paled as he listened to his sister’s frantic voice on the other end of the line. A long forgotten memory swam to the surface and threatened to drown him.

His sister sitting on the couch crying. A strange British man looming over his family. His father’s face red with anger. His mother’s declaration that they couldn’t take her. The stranger insistently claiming his sister’s potential. Him peering down at the scene from the second floor through the banisters.

Now his sister said she was no longer a potential. His sister had been forever changed.

She was a slayer.
