Yeah, so. I'm just saying, I'm new to this whole writing stuff so I'm not really that good. I'm sorry and since I'm well, new sometimes the characters are kind of OC and stuff. I apollogize for that. Anyway, I'm not writing an author notes that long because obviously nobody reads it so, on with the story.
The two children laugh hung on the air as the snow fall lightly on them. Their expressions full of glee and happiness and their eyes fill with innocence from the dark world.
"Come on Mikage, we're going to miss it!" the silver-white hair girl yells excitedly at the blonde boy, Mikage, behind her, speeding up her pace.
"Farah, its half past eleven, we still have a half hour!" Mikage yelled back trying to slow down Farah, though his own voice is filled with excitement and his pace also speed up.
"But, Mikage you know how clumsy I am! Who knows how many times I'll-"before Farah could finish her sentence, she suddenly fell to the snow-covered ground, and a silence suddenly over-whelmed them.
"Fell." Finally Farah ended and the silence is finally broken by a laughter coming from Mikage. Looking up annoyed, Farah stands up and turns around to see the blonde boy now clutching his stomach and she pouted at him cutely.
"It's not funny!" Farah shouted at him, her face is flushed a tomato red despite the cold temperature, and when Mikage starts to laugh harder at the view of the embarrassed girl.
Finally after a moment of Farah's embarrassment and Mikage's laughter, she finally let out a 'humph' and turn around to start walking away, leaving the laughing boy to himself.
"Wah, Farah!" Mikage finally yelled after he realized her leaving him. "Wait up~" Farah looks up and her black obsidian eyes rested upon Mikage with small tears at the edge of his eyes that she fully knows from laughter and his grin twitching once in a while, a movement when he tries to hide his laughter.
"It's not funny!" Farah finally exclaimed her pout still plastered on her face. "Well…" Mikage trailed off, grinning and she starts walking away again.
"I'm just being honest." He said, easily catching up with her this time, because she's walking. "But that hurt…"before she could continue she suddenly trip and fell again, closing her eyes as she waited the hard contact to the ground.
When she feels her arm is being hold and she didn't feel any contact with the ground. Finally opening her eyes, she stares at the ground before trailing at her arm being held by Mikage. Looking at him confuse after she stood up straight he said "I'm sorry…"
She was taken aback when suddenly he gave her the puppy dog eyes and couldn't help but the blood rushing to her cheeks as he starts grinning boyishly and childishly. "No fair!" Grasping out of his grip, Farah starts walking again this time she looks down at her feet and the road trying to not fall every one second.
"You're welcome!" Farah heard Mikage yelled, and she couldn't help as her lips curled into a smile.
Looking up, only then she realizes it's almost midnight and widens her eyes. "Farah, are you okay?" Mikage asked from besides her looking at her with concern.
"It's almost mid-night!" she didn't even wait to end her sentence before starting to run. Finally, Mikage catches up with her and takes her hand, earning a confuse look from Farah.
"It's faster this way!" before she could ask what he is going to do, he does a full sprint to the direction their going, taking her too.
Farah could only laugh at the feeling of the wind against her face, and she could feel him chuckle too. Together, they run to the place, not once stopping or letting go of each other hands.
-Few Minutes Later-
They made it. They got to the place before midnight and got 3 minutes to spare. And now, Mikage is panting, both of his hands rested on his knees and Farah is leaning against the tall tree, hands against her chest, also panting.
"Never *pant* do that *pant* again…" Farah managed to say between her pants and Mikage silently nod in agreement.
After they finally got their breath, they turn round and face the tree. At first there is nothing normal, but as the moonlight shine on it, they see a lot of carving of people names.
"Farah, did you bring it?" she nods and reaches for her pocket when founding what she was searching and give it to him.
Mikage didn't expect seeing a pocket knife when she gives him it. He thought she's going to bring like a scissor or something. And he's defiantly confused to how she even got her hands on this.
He stares at her innocent face and decided he doesn't want to know.
Finally he starts carving his name then her name with some space, then in the space he draws a line then a cross in the middle and connected the name with the edge of the cross, and finally he connected the edges of the cross, circling their names.
"Done!" Mikage step back to admire his work while Farah merely lean forward and grins cutely.
"It's so cute~" At that Mikage raises his eyebrow at her. From what he sees it is more than cute. Heck, it's not even cute. Hell, cute isn't even in his dictionary.
His thoughts were stopped when Farah stood in front of him, pinky raised, and a smile on her face.
Okay, maybe it is in his dictionary. He thought before realizing Farah's pinky is raised and now with an impatient look on her face.
Finally connecting their pinky, she takes a step closer to him and stares at him dead in the eyes.
"Um… Farah?" he started but she hushed him.
"You know the story right? We're supposed to say an oath." As soon as the last word passed her lips his mind starts going all research-y.
Farah told him the story. She said that her parents told her the story and that is the only thing she remembers about them.
They said that a true way to show or find out that two people really cares deeply for each other is like that. She told him that originally the two have carved each other name at his/her body then makes an oath. If the person really cares for the other they would keep his/her oath until they die but if they don't that mean they care but don't care. But it had to do in a full moon and exactly the date they met, and it won't work if it's past midnight. But since carving their body is to violent they makes it the carved into a stone, glass, tree, or something. She told him she wants to try to do it so, here they are.
"I'll go first!" she exclaims and Mikage nods. "Mikage, you are probably the most happy-go-lucky person I ever met but I swear I'll be by your side no matter what and I'll always find my way back to you if we somehow got parted." She ends it with a smile and a faint blush on her cheeks.
"Farah, I thought you're the clumsiest person I ever met in this world but I swear I'll never leave you and I'll protect you no matter what." He grins at her.
"Promise?" Farah asked looking at him with a smile and Mikage smile back "Promise."
With their pinky intertwined, they made the oath that will probably change their life to an unexpected turn. But they could handle it no matter what, their certain of it.
Prologue done! Please review! (to anyone who reads this!)
