The evening horizon created a sparkling dark sea behind the stretch of sand on this populated beach loaded with a merry and rowdy assortment of people.

Above the sea of folk, stood on the steps was the tall, very slim flourish, clad in a floor length, long sleeved, lilac dress, a large red sun hat that shielded the shoulders, along with a large black parasol, or umbrella.
Scanning the crowd left right and centre through oversized sunglasses, she settled on specific gathering before descended from the steps.

Closing in on a gothic looking group, a voice amongst them shouted out...

"Dodo!"

"Calci" she responded instantaneously.

The group parted, revealing who they surrounded; a very petite young female in a similar attire to the Calci's, only this girl was clad in all black.
The smaller female moved towards Calci with open gloved hands and open arms.
"You couldn't stand out more, what's with the parasol?" she mocked.
"Why? Is it out of fashion?" Calci asked.
"Well, not in this territory, but girl, you look a state" the smaller snarked.
"I feel a state, a state of awful" Calci replied.

The smaller looked up towards her with a softening expression
"I told you so" she said as she forcefully grabbed Calci's free hand and dragged her towards her party.

"Hydra's, This is..."
"Calci" Calci interrupted.
"Calci!" the girl clarified in a raised voice "My..."
"Sister! From way, way back, you know..." Calci cut-in again and trailed off, leaving an air of mystery.

The shorter woman began to give Calci a glare, however her focus was soon interrupted...
"You work at Rosie's Posie's" a gothic youth slightly yelled in excitement as she moved forward.

"I own it sweetie" Calci replied.

"I love your shop, the autumn tear drop reef is so perfect" the youth stated.

"I like the arranged dead flowers" another young female added in a monotone.

"What's the name of the green rose looking..."

"Quite!" Calci's shorter sibling shouted with a scowl, cutting off all queries as she looked Calci, visibly displeased.
"That way, now!" she quietly ordered as she pointed towards the far off sea.

Calci obeyed after a smug expression and a shrug.

The smaller turned and faced her party;
"Not one of you so much as move" she ordered before taking a very short brisk walk to catch up with her sister.

"What are you playing at?" the smaller woman asked with irritation.

"What are you playing at, joining one of those... Special, interest, groups" Calci finished once finding the wording.

"An easy and convenient existence, its always worked" the other replied.

"Well they're trouble as usual, they don't just know what you are, they actually know who you are" Calci claimed in a slight sing-song tone.

"Oh whatever" the apparently younger replied.

"Don't dismiss this, sharing information is easier than ever, and put yourself out there and people will gossip" Calci said

"So why'd you pretty much oust us in front of my following if you're so worried?" the girl asked.

"Because I may as well. I'm going to be very involved with each and every one of them" Calci claimed.

"You need get your own" the other argued.

"And you need to grow up! A biography on MyFace for the world to..."

"A YourFace profile set to private, get with it" the girl interrupted.

"Either way, this is serious, so serious it's encroaching on me and, well, you're lucky I have this in hand" Calci replied.

"Aww not again" the smaller female replied within a huff whilst halting their stroll "what and who now?" she asked whilst looking Calci dead on.

"A brother and sister, but I handled them" Calci replied taking on a slight seriousness as she met her gaze "And you're fixing that mess"

The smaller sighed, she remained quiet for a brief moment before speaking...

"Hope you're not over reacting" she replied with a tone of both sarcasm and defeat.

The reply Calci gave was a slight head shake.

The youthful female moved forward, past Calci and towards the choppy tide.
Her gaze moved from the water, to her side; body language reading 'tense'.

After taking time to collect herself, the young woman spoke.
"So, just what are we dealing with?"
