RED LIKE...
By MissThenardierLovett
Chapter one- Red like love...
"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the greatest magic show of Underworld, and now let me introduce to you the best illusionist of all the times: Tarrant Hightopp".
Beth claps and giggles, amused by the introduction that his friend has made for himself. Tarrant steps forward with his father's top hat in one hand. He bows and the red-haired young girl laughs.
Child's laugh, crystalline laugh, true laugh. No wickedness or hysteria, just happiness. Iracebeth is seven and she has a long life ahead of her to live.
Tarrant pulls out a string of handkerchiefs from the purple sleeve of his jacket. He holds them in one hand and reciting a spell of his own invention, he extracts a bouquet of red roses. He hands them to his only spectator.
Red like blood, red like fire, red like passion, red like warmth, red like love.
Beth's favorite color.
"Iracebeth"
A gentle, quiet, voice- which sounds like it belongs to an adult- comes from behind the two friends.
Mirana approaches them slowly, smiling as she ever does. "Mum and Dad say that you must come back, it's nearly dinner time".
Her sister huffs, while the younger already makes her way back to the castle.
Tarrant is disappointed too, he hoped he could amuse her more.
"I have to go" she says sadly, raising her arms and then letting them fall to her sides, like to say: 'what else can we do?'
"I'll see you tomorrow?" he asks hoping.
They have met accidentally. Tarrant's father is Hatter at the Court, Iracebeth is a princess. They were walking in the garden in opposite directions and they ran into each other. Friends by mistake, some people would say. Friends by destiny, others would. What they know is that they are just friends.
Nothing easier or more beautiful.
"Of course" she answers, leaning forward and kissing him on the cheek.
Chaste kiss, soft kiss, without malice, a kiss that only a friend can give.
Beth leaves, Tarrant stands agape. He slowly reaches with his hand the point where her lips has touched his skin.
Red lips. Red like love.
