My final page

It was the final page of my story, I was in his arms. Swaying in the moonlight the cool air swirling around us. The nightingale stopped singing it's sweet melody as he leaned forward, the tip of his nose brush against mine ever so softly. I closed my eyes and waited, my heart jumping out of my chest. 

A couple of seconds past, confused I open my eyes to see his eyes twinkle back mysteriously. Then with a wink he closed the distance. His arm curled around my waist as he drew me closer. 

We broke apart and the bird started singing again. As confetti and balloons fell from the sky and the moon grinning softly from above I layed my head against his chest and we danced. Danced from dusk till dawn. 

This is my final page

Poison apple

She closed her eyes to the world and curled up into a small ball. Her heart ached and tears welled up in her eyes asking why she has to choose. In her heart she wanted to stay but her mind was saying "No."

Her magic mirror shook it's head sadly and said, "Do what ever you feel is right."

"But what is right?" She asked

What is right?

She imagined a line and it was there. On one side stood her family and friends and on the other he held out his hand smiling softly. Her mirror told her that he absolutely adored her but she looked at him with no emotions in her eyes. 

Where were her emotions?

Did she lose them when she bit that apple?

Her family were reaching out to her as well. She held out her hand but they were out of reach. She closed her eyes once more and the line disappeared. They both started for her at an equal pace. 30 paces away...20...10..5...

They were just about to reach her. Just another finger length away and she fell. The ground simply opened up and swallowed her whole. Leaving her in the darkness. Falling. 

"This is where I belong..in the dark"

She felt a tap on her shoulder and she spun around. There he was. She smiled as she saw him hold out his hand. She stepped towards him but stopped. The shadows had crossed his face twisting his emotions. She stepped away quickly and squeezing her eyes shut she made him disappear. 

No one could save her now. 

She was poisoned by the apple and there was no return. 

So she fell

     And fell

     

Darkness

I close my eyes and take a deep breath,

her words repeating over and over in my head, 

"Oh yeah I forgot to tell you, I'm the one dating him now."

I look over and catch his gaze, he holds contact for a second and turns his face away. The bell rings and I slowly walk back to my class alone. I take a seat at the back where I always sit and see him coming in just as the bell sounds the last ring. 

He walks towards the seat next to me mine where he always sits but midway he changes his mind and sits with another. I replace my shocked face with one of a poker and blink rapidly as the tears start to leak. 

I remember a while back where he promised never to hurt me, to always love me and to stay by my side as I lay in his arms under the cherry blossom tree. 

But now hurt, unloved and alone.

I try and focus on the lesson but my thoughts stray. Why? I told myself to get over him. That it would be impossible to ever tell jokes while teasing each other now. Or stealing each other's lunch while calling each other fat. 

I felt like crawling into a hole, a hole where no one could find me nor save me. Where it would be pitch black and I would drown in my sorrow one day after another. I want to whisper to my prince to save me, to help me end this pain. But my prince has already given up on me and found another princess to protect. 

So here I lay. In the D A R K N E S S
