"Are you sure we locked all the doors dear" Mary said to her daughter as they walked up the stairs, it was late and the mother had an interview the next morning, and the little angel was starting school.
The 4 year old named Mirabella or as her mother affectionately called her "baby Bella" was an adorable little darling, she had bright brown eyes and a personality that would put a smile on anyone's face. The little girl was born in the United Kingdom due to her mother's nature of work which caused them to travel allot.
"Yes mama" the little girl replied with a smile, as her curly hair fell into her eyes causing her to giggle. They finally reached the little girls room; she jumped into bed and wiggled under her covers.
"Good night my angel" Mary said with a smile.
"Night mama" she said as she yawned and snuggled into the soft bed, Mary smiled as she turned off the light and closed the door, as she went to her own room to retire for the night.
Mira pulled out a picture from underneath her pillow, it was the picture of parents and her when they took her to the amusement park for her birthday, that was over 7 months ago, and she had had not seen her father since.
"Good night papa, love you" she said giving the picture a kiss, she then returned it to it place under her pillow and went to sleep.
Crash!
Mira sat up in her bed as she looked around her room, from the sound of it there was something down stairs.
"Maybe it's a poor little animal" she thought as she kicked off her cover and put on her matching bunny slippers, she quietly opened her door and slipped out of her room, thanks to her small size.
She crawled down the stairs, as she would cause less noise that way; she reached the hallway, where she saw a light coming from the kitchen.
"Did we leave the fridge open" she said to her self, as she crept closer to the kitchen. She peeped through the crack in the kitchen door and gasped at what she saw.
There was what looked to be a little boy about her age, raiding the fridge but she could tell that this kid was no ordinary kid, he had long unruly black hair that flowed down his back, his arms where covered with red fur, with a matching tail that swung behind him as it poked out of his black shorts, and he wore no shoes.
"he looks like something out of my story-book" she said to herself "but then again i could be dreaming" she said as she shook her head, she peeped back into the kitchen only to see that he was gone.
"Where did he go" she said as she walked into the kitchen.
"Boo"
"Eek" she screamed as she fell on her bottom, she looked up at him as he smirked down at her "what was that for, i could have woken mama, she has a very busy day tomorrow" she said in her cute little British voice.
The little boy had a surprised look on his face, wasn't she scared of him.
"Aren't you scared of me" he asked her as she got up.
"Why, you're a kid like me" she said to him, either he is strangely tall or I'm just short, she said to herself as he looked at her.
"I'm no kid" he said to her "I'm a monster, so you should be scared of me" he said as if it wasn't obvious.
"But I'm not, you're no monster, you're a kid just like me" she said with a smile causing the boy to turn away as he blushed.
"By the way, how did you get in here" she asked, he simply pointed at the kitchen window, which was left open "oh...oops" she said to herself "oh where are my manners, I'm Mirabella, what's your name" she asked.
"Um...my names brolly" he said, all humans hated monsters like him, even his own kind feared him for some reason, so she should fear him as well right? He thought as he looked at her.
"Please to meet you brolly" she said with a smile as she reached into the open fridge and pulled out the milk, she then grabbed two cups and a plate; she filled the cups with milk and placed some cookies on the plate.
"Here we go" she said as she beckoned him to come over to the spread that she had placed on the floor.
"What is it" he asked as he looked at it.
"It's a friendship meal, mama said when you make a new friend, you should share something with them, and since you here, i though we could share some milk and cookies" she explained.
"Friends?" he said turning his head like a cute little puppy as he sat beside her.
"Yeah, we friends now" she said with a smile, but when she saw his confused face, she tried to think of another was to explain it "you know, buddies, pals, companions, mates..." she said but the last one caught his attention.
"You want to be mates with me" he said with a blush, sure she was human, but she was pretty cute, even though she looked different than the other humans he had seen.
"Sure" she said as she picked up her milk "so to new friends" she said to him.
"To new...friends" he replied as they drank their milk and ate their treats, unaware that, that night had changed both their lives.
Months after that fateful night, mira and brolly soon became best friends, she would go to school in the morning with her mother and at night, she teach everything she had learnt that day to him, he caught on very quickly and could soon read her storybooks, they spent most of their time together reading books and playing games. Except for this one particular night,
"Come on mira" he pouted as he sat on her bed waiting for her to grab her coat and her slippers.
"You know it's good to have patience" she giggles causing him to blush "where are we going anyway" she asked him.
"its a surprise" he smirked as he jumped of the bed and landed on all fours "ready" asked as she climbed unto his back.
"Ready" she said as they quickly escaped the house, Mary was still at work and said she might not be back until the next day.
"Hang on" he said as he ran into the forest, mira loved the feeling of the cool night breeze in her hair, and the scenery reminded her of an enchanted forest.
Soon they reached a cave, in which they walked inside hand in hand.
"Brolly, its dark in here" mira said holding his hand "i can't see anything"
"Don't worry, just trust me, I'll get you there safely" he replied, soon after a short walk, she finally saw a light at the end.
"Close your eyes" she heard him say, to which she did, they took a few more steps and then he said "ok open them"
She opened her eyes and gasped, it looked like a scene from her princess story book, a beautiful oasis that was only enrichened by the moon light.
"This is my home mira, what do you think" he said with a smile.
"It's so pretty" she said with a sigh "it like a dream. You're so lucky to live here" she said.
"I guess, but i brought you here to ask you something" he said as they sat by the pond" i was thinking, since we are friends and friends can tell each other some things... right" he said to her.
"Right" she said with a smile.
"Well then can you tell me something mira, do you ...like me" he asked as he began to blush.
"Of course i like you silly" she replied.
"I like you too mira, so i wanted to ask you if...well...maybe...when we are older...if you would, be my mate" he said hiding behind his long hair.
"Sure" she said with a smile, she didn't know what it meant to him but it sounded fun.
"Really" he said with a smile to which she nodded, he then took out a fang necklace and placed it on her neck "here"
"Thank you brolly" she said as she admired the necklace, but then she gave a yawn "I'm sleepy" she said as she rubbed her eyes.
"Lets gets you back home" he said as they began the journey back to her home.
3 weeks later and brolly felt like something was wrong, mira was not as happy and energetic as usual. And no matter what he did, she wouldn't smile or laugh.
"Mira, please tell me what's the matter "he said as they sat by the pond "i don't like seeing you sad, you can tell me"
"If i tell you, then you will be really sad" she said to him.
"Well then we can be sad together" he said to her in hopes to cheer her up, she looked at him with a sad smile as she got up and began to pace.
"Brolly, there something i need to tell you" she said to him as he got up.
"Is it bad?"
"Well kinda" she said as he took her hand.
"Then it can wait"
"Wait? Till when"
"Forever and ever" he said as they strolled.
"Forever and ever is a very long time, you" She sang as she watched him climb a tree.
"Forever isn't long at all" he replied as he jumped down with a flower "when I'm with you" he said as he gave her the flower, he then took her hand as they continued to walk.
"I wanna call your name...forever,
And you will always answer forever,
And both of us will be
forever you and me.
Forever and ever." He sang as they ran thought the beautiful forest.
"I wanna stay like this forever.
If only i could promise forever...
Then we could just be we,
Forever you and me.
Forever and ever." She sang back to him as she began to frown again.
"Forever and ever is a very long time, you "she sang as they approached a huge tree
"Forever isn't long at all, Mira
when I'm with you" he said as they sat under the tree to watch the sunset.
"Oh, i wanna be with you forever.
I want you right here beside me forever.
One thing you should know,
No matter where i go,
We'll always be together.
Forever and ever." They both sang as they hugged each other under the tree.
"Now will you tell me what wrong" he said to her as she sighed.
"Brolly, mama said that...we...we" she started.
"We, what?"
"We have to move again" she said to him as she began to cry.
"Move? Move where?" he asked her, if she moves, then does that mean that he would...never see her again?
"i don't know but mama said its really far away from here and the worst part of it is that we are leaving tomorrow morning" she replied.
"But...that's not fair" he said as he began to panic "you can't leave me" he said, first his father and now her.
"I know ..." she started but he lashed out.
"no you don't, its not fair, why do you have to leave, mates don't leave each other, you're my only friend, all the other kinds back home don't like me, my own papa doesn't want me, but you do, so why are you leaving me" he cried.
"I don't want to leave brolly, you're the best friend I've ever had, but i have to go with mama" she said as she held his hand.
"But...i...don't want...you to go" he sobbed "it's not fair" he said.
"i know" she said, but before she could say anything else, Mary called for mira" brolly you have to go or mama will see you"
"I don't want to leave you" he said looking into her sad brown eyes "it's not fair"
"I know but, i know I'll see you again" she said.
"When" he asked her.
"I...i dunno, but we will, i know we will" she said as she placed her hand over his heart.
"Till we meet again
Till we meet again
Till we meet to part no more
Till we meet again
Till we meet again
Love will keep you till we meet again" she sang as she stepped away and left him in the clearing.
"Mira?" he said but then there was no reply "mira! No come back" he cried as he fell to the ground as he started to cry.
"My friend, my only friend, why did you take her from me" he cried "i want her back" he cried as the sun sat, bring with it, the dark mistress called night.
"I want her back" he said as he raised his head, his normal kind eyes had turned into silted red pupils.
"I hate them; i hate them for taking you away"
He said as he stood and looked towards her home.
"I'll find you mira, and then we will be together...forever" he said as he turned and went back to his cave, not knowing that his pain had release a darkness that had laid dormant deep within his heart.
