A Janet Drabble

Yeap, I'm in a drabbly mood lately. You should see what I've been doing to the Artemis Fowl fandom.

Title: Sister
Rating: PG
Words: 115 (at its height it was 159, so I've now given up)

When Janet was two-years-old she had an imaginary friend named Lucy. Such evidence of loneliness can not be ignored by concerned parents, so, against their gynaecologist’s advice, they tried to give her a sibling.

Janet at ten was secretive and alone; a smothered only child.

Janet was edging on puberty when she gained a brother. She smiled, she teased him, she ruffled his hair - then laughed and hugged him when his magical retaliation when awry.

Cat is her brother, always.

Unfortunately, when he chokes a sob upon waking, she leans over and touches his forehead, his eyes open… and the sob is caught in his Enchanter eyes, sometimes he thinks she is his sister.
