Opal Fragments - Rougarou Catastrophe

Summary: In the facets of the rainbow an unbelievable story is told.

For the Poetry Collection Compeititon, using the Luna/Kuja pairing.

Long and slender

Outlined in gold

Wrapped around-

A tulip

Carved into the surface

Of the sycamore.

Those lips

Curling down

"It's just a twig."

With a single

Derisive movement

She could no longer breathe.

As it's cry

Echoed around the room

Snap

And it laid

On the ground

In pieces.

She had lost

The one she received

On her eleventh birthday

And now...

Her second was gone

Destroyed

Murdered

With an adequate

Force of pressure.

The hard lines

Of the tile

Blurred

As she swayed

In empty air

Her knees

Meeting that floor

A moment later.

Lips parted

In silence

As he sneered

Down at her.

"So primitive.

"You were a fool,

"To use it."
