FriendA Story by ~Dragon XA pair of girls a few years apart admire a scene. Funny thing is, the beings in it aren't feeling that same awe.
"Ah, isn't it beautiful? I'm so glad..." She spread up her arms and spread her fingers, letting the gentle, warm breeze float through each long, thin finger.
A shorter, younger sitting girl folded her arms tight and blushed. The brushing wind made her shiver. "Stop embarrassing me, Jacqueline. Put your arms down."
She only raised them higher. "How many times do I have to tell you to call me Jackie? Jackie is fine, Rosy." She plopped on the ground beside her and stretched her legs in the wild grass. Rosy folded them tight.
Gentle, sloping hills stretched far beyond the eye could see. The scent of grass blended with the aroma of the wild flowers. The amber sun was just beginning to set, slowly sliding like a drop of honey beneath the hills. The sky was a blend of purple and blue and the moon was just beginning to show it's grey, cratery face. The only thing strange about the field was that there were no insects. Not even butterflies offered their fluttery company. This went unnoticed, of course. Not when everything else around them could show off their beauty.
"Why do you like me so much?" Rosy inquired.
Jackie grinned cheerfully. "That's because you've done so much for me. They talk about what you've done every night in the castle among the maids! I haven't been able to do anything like that, so I try to get by. I'm going to help you as much as possible!" She sounded like a child with words of encouragement to he mother. In truth, Jacqueline was older than Rosy.
Rosy furled her brow. "I don't like talking about it much, Jacque--J--Jackie."
Jackie plucked a blade of grass and twirled it between her fingers.
Rosy ducked her head a little. "I....I'm scared."
Jackie put an arm over her. "It's alright," she comforted. "I'll be there for you. I'll always be."
A faint smile perked Rosy's lips. "Thank you, Jackie."
They leaned close to each other, soft warmth radiating and merging. Both pairs of eyes were fixed on the round honey drop sliding beneath the hills. Like friends.
"You will always be my friend," Jackie said with a sweet smile.
A sharp pain exploded at Rosy's neck. She fell limp.
Jackie whispered, smile angelic. "Always."
