There was a stillness in the air after dinner. Yomi cleaned up the shattered cup that she had thrown at the door. She was too edgy for some reason, and hadn't meant to throw it at her dad. If it had been Cyrus, it would have been ok. She felt something. There was something in the air.

It was still, quiet, uncomfortable. No one noticed it except her.

She stopped for a moment, the broom between two hands, and she tilted her head off to the right, looking into the room. She felt it again, but this time it wasn't still, it was a pulse. There were two of them.

Then there was a stronger pulse, and she wanted to wretch. Her right arm curled around her stomach and she sank to her knees with one hand on the broom for support. A flash come from her parents room, and the feeling faded off. There was another flash, but it came from outside the window. Yomi's attention turned to the window and she struggled to her feet to look out. Two comets shot from the city toward the sky, but halted at a point before the energy dispursed in the visual form of a spider's web across the sky. Energy streamed off from two points, and faded off into the distance.

The Weave took something, and there was a knot in the bottom of Yomi's stomach as she almost instinctually knew what it was.

"Momma..." was a whisper from the young girl.

The next sound was the simple falling over of a broom onto a hard floor.
