Darker London-Uncover what is underneath...

Awakening at six in the morning was a dreadfully painful experience, but in the back of her mind, Renee knew it would be worth it. Never mind her legs, crying as they were for a return to their nest in her warm bed. She gave her alarm clock a solid thump, and switched on her stereo. Type O Negative, specifically chosen to give her an early morning jolt. And why not? Father would already be awake and preparing for work, and Mother could sleep through a nuclear armageddon. That just left little Lizzie. The girl was kicking the wall furiously, but her yelling was muffled enough that Renee could comfortably ignore her as she wandered into the bathroom.

Scarlett would be here any moment. Renee fussed about the room, making everything seem as neat as she could. With the lights out and candles burning merrily on either side of the bed as well as her altar, the room did seem to be in a state at least approaching order. Sure, there were CDs strewn about by the stereo, a stack of DVDs up to her knees by the bed, and a bookshelf in a state of disarray that would make even the slackest of librarians have a fit, but to Renee's mind, that just gave the room character. No dount the already-poured glasses of absinthe would wash away any poor impressions quite smartly.
