Prompt 2

Character: Arlynn
Prompt:
The tea tasted of oranges.

Lynn stared down into his tea, stirring it idly with his spoon. "I'm going to die," he muttered, the vision still clear in his head, "and I can't tell them." This fact bothered the young demon; his sister and their lover deserved to know, but if he told them, things would go horribly wrong.

He frowned, and took a sip of the tea, burning his tongue as he did. It was still incredibly hot, but after the initial shock, the half demon could taste the strong flavor of the tea. "Orange?" he said confused. "Why does the tea taste of oranges?"

He picked up the tea bag and sniffed it. It didn't smell anything like oranges, and took another drink of the tea. Now it tasted like strawberry. "Okay, this is seriously weird." He was starting to get a little weirded out by this tea, but he suspected that it was probably his sisters.

"Ryn!" he hollered. "Your stupid tea keeps changing flavors."

"I know," a voice yelled back. "Isn't it awesome!"

He shook his head, and took another sip of the flavor-changing tea. "If you say so, sis."

Well, there wasn't much he could do, and there really was no point in worrying about his death. He couldn't change it, and for now, he needed to at least pretend that there was nothing wrong.
