New season and new beginnings (Ursula)

Renee breathed in and out deeply before she slowly opened her eyes. The apartment still smelled of the sage she had burned the night before. It seemed she had fallen asleep as she mediated, but to be fair as the sun would come up she could not fight the torpor that would take hold. She would need to meet her sister soon for the ritual they were to preform tonight. Excitement filled as she thought of it, though she did not know what was truly in store for this evening. She trusted that her sister was not going to lead her into anything too dangerous or anything that they could not handle, at least not for her first time. She chuckled to herself as the thought of them having to fight more fae together came to mind. If they ended up in the shadow realm at least it would be together. Yin and yang together as it were.
She slowly stood and stretched from her spot in the floor. Sleeping in the sitting position was never fun as a human and it seemed that didn't change as a vampire either. At least the meditation had kept the fae from her dreams that day. She would need to practice that more to see if it really helped or was just a random act of kindness on their behalf. Though it was possible that were just waiting for tonight. The thought came to her that if tonight was as powerful a night as her sister had said that perhaps the fae too would be more powerful. She shook the thought from her mind. There was no time for that and she needed to be in balance for the ritual.
She made her way back to the bathroom and started the water. She lit was was left of the sage before she entered the shower and let the hot water flow over her cold body. As the water fell she visualized any of the negative thoughts of this evening fall with them and spiral down the drain. After she bathed she stepped out of the shower and was engulfed in the mix of smoke and steam that had built up in the closed room. She felt ready for the night now. She quickly dressed into one of her new creations. Black leggings and a white strapless baby doll dress. Her hair was still in dreads so she simply bundled them up into a large bun, though a few strands hung near her face. She used her camera on her laptop to quickly put on some eye liner. She finished with some black sandals.
She grabbed her jacket and wrapped it around her as she entered the night air. There was still a chill in the air but the cold did not effect her any longer. The jacket was simply so that she did not receive the odd looks from most of the humans she passed. She boarded the train and took it to her stop in silence, focusing on keeping herself in balance. It wasn't long before the train pulled until the station and she stepped back out into the cool air. As she made her way to the sewers entrance, she had to stop and admire the beauty of the moon this evening. Hopefully it would be a clue of the night to come. Beautiful. After a quick run through the sewers she exited close to her sister's apartment building. She made her way through the doors and quickly into the elevator. The ride was fast and she was knocking on her sister's door eagerly.
