"When Cinder Falls"
By: Kumui the Amanojaku
Chapter 1: Blooming Cinders
There is never a moment when I don't think of that fateful day. That day when I failed myself and everyone around me, even the one I loved so dearly with all my heart. Thinking about it now only brings extreme angst and pain, to the point that I am overcome by extreme anger. All I could do was sit and watch as my loved ones fell to the ground. Life had never given a second thought to ripping everything away. It didn't flinch or even give me a chance to explain to myself what happened..it just happened.
- flash back-
"Did you hear about the new girl?"
"No, who is she?"
"I heard she is from some sort of witch family."
"That is so weird what if she casts a spell or something?"
As I overheard the girls on the playground talking, I couldn't help getting excited! "Finally someone new!" I thought to myself. I ran home after school to sit on my stairs and wait for the new girl to arrive. I sat there being bored for a good hour before giving up and going to get a snack. All of a sudden a huge truck and small car appeared. Two very tall people exited the car and followed the moving men into their new home. "Where is the new girl though?" I thought to myself. I
waited patiently finally to see a small girl around my height exit the car. She had blonde hair like her parents, wrapped in a neat bun, and stunning green eyes
that looked like emeralds. I was stunned by this girl's appearance because of how composed she was.
As I was about to go over and say hi my mom yelled "Honey! Come inside dinner is ready!"
"Did you hear about the new neighbors mom?"
"Yes, sweetheart, I have."
"They have a daughter too."
"Yes, I know, honey."
"You think we could be friends?"
"Of course I do sweetie, why don't you say hi after you finish eating?"
After she said that I rushed through my dinner and started to make my way to the new mysterious family who had moved across the street from me.
The new girl was still sitting on the steps where she had been just before I had gone to eat. I went playfully up to her, to which she greeted me to a very confused face, almost full of wonder upon my arrival. "Hi!" I said cheerfully.
"Hi" she said quietly. I started to study her outfit, quite simple in style. It was a short white dress just about reaching her knees, with a white bow in the middle,
and a gray cloth suspended on her right shoulder connecting to another string around her neck. "What's your name?" I asked politely.
"Glynda Goodwitch" she replied just as quietly as before.
"My name is Cinder Fall! I love your name by the way, it's really nice".
She was silent for a bit almost as if she had to think about her answer. "Thank you, I like yours too; it reminds me of autumn" she replied with a smile.
"Welcome to Vale!"
"Thank you."
"So….why did you move here?"
"My parents felt as if it was time to go home."
"Oh, so you were born here?"
"Yes, but I was very young at the time we moved away."
"Well I'm 10 how long ago could it have been?"
"10 years ago."
I was surprised she wasn't bothered by all of my probing questions of her origins, however she actually seemed grateful that someone was interested
in her. I was happy I could make a new friend, but something felt weird within my heart.
"So Glynda are you excited for school tomorrow?"
She thought about it for a minute and said "I would be excited, however I don't know anyone at this new school."
"Well actually you know me" I said falling back on the stairs, smiling. She smiled at me and fell back with me. We stared at the sky
hoping to see something amazing but alas I think we simply liked looking at the stars.
Glynda looked at me "so what about you Cinder?"
I looked at her with a confused face. "What about me?" I said squinting my eyes in suspicion.
"Why is your name Cinder, if you don't mind me asking?" she asked politely.
I had to think about it for a moment since it had been years since Mom told me yhow I got my name. Glynda started looking at me weirdly but truthfully I was still thinking about it. Finally it came to me. "Oh I remember now. My mom used to be a maid for this rich family and when she had to clean the fireplace she'd always have to be careful since the cinders would burn her. Though sometimes when she blew fires out the cinders would fly up and eventually disappear, and she found it really nice." I started to giggle my way out of a sappy story afterwords.
Glynda didn't make a remark on the story. She just simply stared back at the night sky full of stars and suddenly said, "That sounds beautiful."
"You really think so? I thought it was kinda sappy."
"No your mother really did give you a wonderful name."
"Aww, thank you."
"You're welcome."
"For a while now, I thought my name was weird but you really made me like it again."
"Did I really?"
"Yeah!"
By this time I realized that I really enjoyed her company. I felt as if she knew me already even though we just met about an hour ago. I smiled widely like an idiot trying not to seem weird in front of Glynda but I couldn't help myself, I was just too happy. At school I never really had actual friends. I'd talk to some of the girls and even some of the guys and have loads of fun but my heart never felt complete. Something had been missing within me like I was stuck for hours trying to find my shoe. With Glynda though, I never for one second felt empty. She made me smile constantly and even laugh for three minutes straight. It felt nice having someone to talk to and have fun with, of course without feeling empty like usual. I started thinking "is this what it feels like when you meet someone awesome?" because I was so happy I could explode on the spot.
"Hey Glynda?" I said.
She looked back at me with her face indicating I can continue with whatever I was going to say. I didn't say anything though because I was so focused on her eyes and how they shimmered against the night sky. I didn't notice how lost I was until Glynda got up and shook me.
"Huh what!? MOM I DON'T WANT TOAST!" I yelled loudly.
Glynda yelped and cried, "You weren't saying anything and I assumed something was wrong! Are you ok?!"
I was still so out of it that I didn't remember I had blacked out looking at Glynda's face. "I'm sorry" I said quietly "I never meant to startle you" I trailed of slowly.
"It's fine but what did you want to say to me?" she said laying back down.
"Oh...uh…" I still didn't remember what I was going to say and yet again left Glynda with a cliff hanger. Finally I just blurted out "I just really like your eyes." I
screamed internally, surprised I could even say something like that to someone I just met. "Cinder you dummy, now she's going to think you're weird" I yelled at
myself and mentally beat myself up for saying something so reckless.
Glynda laughed at me "Thank you so much and by the way I like yours too."
I stopped and unexpectedly smiled from ear to ear. I was surprised since no one really ever made comments on my eyes since they're just eyes. "Thanks Glynda" I replied with another big smile. She smiled back and got up as she heard someone coming to the front steps.
"Glynda, it is time to go to sleep now." a deep stern voice said.
I looked back to see a tall man dressed in a fancy white suit with a cloak similar to Glynda's.
"Yes, father" she responded quietly.
I inspected him further and noticed he had the same piercing emerald eyes Glynda had, along with the blinding blonde hair. As I
was lost in thought about Glynda's father, Glynda got up and waved goodbye.
"It was really nice meeting you Cinder Fall" she said with extreme happiness and a hint of gratitude. I waved back in silence but I smiled while doing so. As the door closed and Glynda was out of my view I got up and went back home. I opened my door and as I closed it I thought…this girl made me feel happy and I was glad. This was the start to a great friendship.
