Haleigh's place
Minutes passed on like months for Blaze who slowly stirred in her sleep. A small yawn was given with a vigorous stretch of her energized muscles. Rubbing the sleep from her eyes, she sat up in bed. Looking around she saw no sign of Alison or the others.
Sliding one leg off the bed and the other, she got out of bed. Her chocolate locks disheveled and very chaotic. Brushing a hand through her thick hair she headed for the bathroom, in need of a shower. Her hands turning on the shower faucet, allowing the water to warm for her. Stripping from her attire, she slipped inside. Reaching for the Seaspray body water, shaking the contents of the bottle. She quickly lathered the green gel against a wash cloth.
An hour later, Blaze stepped out of the shower soaked, with ringlets of hair curling at the tips. Wrapping a crisp Egyptian style towel around her athletic body. Wiping away the layers of steam lining the vanity mirror. She starred at her reflection, noticing the vibrant color in her eyes. Even her complexion seemed more nature. She felt refreshed and a new zest for life. She would have to thank Alison for whatever she did, she should sleep more often.
Entering into her bedroom, which was directly connected to her private bathroom. Her long towel wrapped tightly around her body, masking her more sensual curves and assets. She stopped at her lengthy dresser to stare into the photograph of herself and Morgan. She sighed, nibbling on her bottom lip.
"I know you overcame my death - which wasn't easy. I will do the same with yours, I wish you could be here Morg." She pulled the frame close to her chest, hugging it tightly. Shutting her misty eyes, exhaling a cool breath. Her emerald eyes morphing into their trademark sage green as they fluttered open. She carefully placed the frame back on the top of her dresser. Rummaging through her dresser she decided on a pair of black cargo pants and a band shirt. The shirt itself was a gift from Delilah, who introduced the band to her friend. Across the red shirt read the band's name "Stroke 9" in black bold lettering.
Brushing her damp locks back from her beautiful face, she slipped the excess hair into a sleek pony - tail. She was finally ready to confront her teammates, but she stopped. Reaching out she grabbed the Tiffany's tennis bracelet that was once Morgan's, one of the item's she took after her death. The bracelet sparkled in the lighting of her apartment. The piece of jewelry was so elegant it clashed with Blaze's punk look but she didn't care. She wanted a piece of Morgan with her at all time, making the bracelet appropriate.
Slipping on a pair of shoes and socks, she walked out of her apartment. Quietly walking down the hallway with her arms folded behind her back. She even carried a bit of a bounce in her step, a flair she had lost months ago. Punching the elevator button, the doors swung open. Stepping inside she smiled at the familiar scents of Delilah and Alison.
The elevator ascended to the following floor, where the other women of the Six were. Stepping outside she walked down the hallway. She easily tracked both Alison and Delilah's location to Haleigh's suite. Knocking on the door gently but received no answer. Perking a curious brow she tried the handle to find it unlocked.
Walking inside, she turned to close the door behind her. She knew all three women of the Six were here. Haleigh's infectious laugh echoing off the walls to greet her. Stepping past the living room, she stopped in her tracks. Small droplets of blood had stained the flooring of Haleigh's place. Crouching down, dipping her index finger inside the droplet of liquid. Her eyes dashing around the apartment, no sign of a struggle. Obviously her friend was fine, she probably ran into some trouble. Climbing to her feet, she walked inside the kitchen, already several pairs of eyes falling on her.
"Is this a private party or can anyone join?"
She grinned to reveal a full set of dimples on each cheek, another trademark the team hadn't seen in months. Her smile seemed to warm Haleigh's kitchen into a bright display of warmth. Climbing onto the bar stool, she nodded to Alison, indicating her recovery. Her eyes swinging back to Haleigh, giving her an apologetic look with her intense eyes. Folding her hands against the counter, Morgan's tennis bracelet sparkling in the kitchen's high lighting. It was a positive sign Blaze was moving on but also celebrating Morgan's memory.
