Her Princess

Her Princess

A Story by Kitty Jane
"

There, watching was a child, a gentle smile on their face As happiness seemed to dance in their eyes a young girl was sat laughing, her face lit with the flash. (remake of story 'Jump')

"
The comforting breeze blew through the city.
Lights bright and wild.
But on the edge of the town in an almost empty place, sat a frozen figure perched on the edge of a lifeless building.

Her ice white hair in a messy mop on top of her head, a thin blue jumper clinging to her petite body, paired with some dirty brown cut offs.
Crystallized blue eyes were glazed over with thought, toes curled slightly over the loose gravel,
as her gaze dropped towards the forgotten snow, thin skeleton like hands clenched around an old phone and picture frame before letting the cheerful faces drop towards the angels below.


 I could never have that.

A small frown placed itself upon her face, though seemingly out of place on her usually so innocent face.
The wind seemed to rattle in her hair, like a protective mother comforting her in a time of need,
Casting out a small smile, she looked towards the sky where the moons light was shining down on her. Her phone rattled in her hand. Casting a look towards it, she flicked through odd pictures quickly, eyes tearing up some more.


"I miss you, why did you leave me? Why am I still here? Please" She shook her head, face scrunched up in a sarcastic laugh

 
Quickly apologizing to someone who she knew could not hear

 'I'm sorry my princess, forgive me...'

Before letting the still buzzing phone drop out of her hand towards the ground below.
Her head tilted to the side in consideration, before she stood up counting as she walked.
 

One.
Two.
Three.

Jump. Come on you pathetic girl, jump
 
Taking one more step, she stood at the edge of the building, hands shaking, and breaths ragged coming out in deep pants.

One more step, you can do it. Jump

Bringing her gaze towards her left wrist, she traced over her cuts burns and scars. Biting her lip in frustration as she saw people lookup towards her when her phone finely crashed against the floor.

The wind grew fierce as she stood still. Tall.

Their faces blurred as they walked towards their homes. Lights flickering out. Forgetting about the girl.
Pushing it out of her mind, she looked towards the sky watching the stars shine next to the moon. Full with all its glory.

I hope my princess

 

She turned her back to the small town. Facing towards the glowing ball in the sky.

 Jump little girl. It will all be over. Jump

 she ran a hand through her hair pulling it slightly before sighing, imagining it.


Falling.


That's all she could think


I would be falling.


I'm sorry my princess I'm going to fall


 


She opened her eyes, arms spread wide as she returned his gaze to the moon again, and the light seemed dimmer. Wind Wild.
She closed her eyes bringing her hair out of her face before smiling

and taking a step back

pushing herself off the edge



It was silent as she fell.
Only the wind dared to scream.

She watched the frame as she was dying, laying cold on the floor with a gentle caress of wind on her cheeks. Memories playing themselves across the near lifeless eyes as they flickered shut.

 


There, watching was a child, a gentle smile on their face As happiness seemed to dance in their eyes
a young girl was sat laughing, her face lit with the flash. Arms wrapped around the one who now lay dying

 

 

Shouting with laughter the young girl ran, getting chased by the mother she loved,

 

“I’m going to get you, my little Princess!” a cheerful voice exclaimed causing the girls to squeal more

“Wait, May be careful! Stop, MAY AWAY FROM THE ROAD. MAY WATCH OUT.    STOP!”

The little girl continued to laugh as she ran, a panicking mother racing behind trying to catch the little girl.

The mother continued to scream as the child stepped of the pavement

“MAY! MAISIE! MAISIE STOP! DON’T!”

The screaming of tires, and smell of burning rubber filled the air.

And a scream as a thump was heard.

 


Scream were heard as she lay there with a peaceful smile on her plush peach lips, as tears streamed down her face.
Panic surrounded the girl who welcome death with open arms.

 

My princess is gone, and now I am too

 

The lights seemed dimmer, the noise grew faint. Her mind shutting down


She said goodbye to the world. Wishing to be with her princess once more

Her wish was answered as she heard an echo of a laugh

 

Dying, she gave one last smile to the world that had been so unkind to her child, and it turn, to her.
