The still water perfectly reflected the scenery around me. I rested my chin in my dainty palm as my dark locks fell to shadow my face. Opening my other hand, I smiled softly as a rose petal uncurls itself, showing off its pale pink beauty. The water's mirrored image of the trees around me and the specks of light above me rippled slightly as I blew gently, causing the petal to rest on the cool water's surface.
My light laughter broke the still silence of the night. Hyne, do I feel stupid or what? My pale fingers massaged the base of my throat, as I mused to myself. What was I doing out here in the first place? My thumb hit the large ring on my necklace and I unconsciously grasped it, delighting in its warmth. Ah, that was why I was out here.
Kami knows I love him. I'd do anything for him. Is a little emotion too much to ask for in return? I can understand that he's been hurt before, but can't he even trust me? Every single cold glance he sends my way, every time he greets me with an uncaring 'hey' without even using my name, I want to scream at him, beg with him, sob at him. Why did he show that he cared before? Didn't he know that it would take me forever to get over his lies? My fingers grip the ring, my knuckles turning white as I imprinted the engravings into my hand. My free hand caught a falling petal and opened again, showing off a pure white feather. Again. Again. The peace spells weren't working as I'd planned.
My white fingers shook as they yanked painfully at the chain around my neck. After a few feeble attempts, I found that my magic had placed the ring he had given me in my hand as simple as that. I smirked ruefully; that was like my relationship with him. No matter how hard I try, nothing happens unless he decides it will. Maybe I should have given up a long time ago, before I'd gotten this attached. I stared at the cursed ring in my palm. At one time it was the symbol of my happiness, but now it only held my pain.
I reared my hand back to throw it into the lake's smooth surface, but in mid throw, I force my arm to halt, felt it fall into my lap. Hot tears coursed down my cheeks, blinding me. Why did I still cling to the hope that the man that gave me this ring would show himself once more? It was like living in dreams forever, something I had promised myself I wouldn't do a long time ago. That man wasn't coming back. He was out of my life. Now if only he would get out of my heart as well.
I hugged my cold knees to my chest as I stared blankly into space. I foolishly let myself fall in love with him, even with the knowledge of his stoic behavior. I actually thought I could be the one to melt his heart. A stifled sob escaped from my lips as I tortured myself with images of his cold eyes. Pressing my hand to my lips, I smiled bitterly as I realized that I was alone. No one was around to hear my cries. As I watched in fascination as my silvery tears hit the already moist ground, paying no attention to the storm of feathers swirling around my body, no heed to the sound of footsteps coming this way. After all, no one knew about this place. I was safe here. I thought. Wait...footsteps? This part of the lake was the deepest into the training center, no one knew about it, and if they knew, no one was stupid enough to come over here if they couldn't defend themselves against a T-rex or two. Who was that sneaking up on me?
