It looked perfect.
Soft pastel green grass, that looked so inviting. Beautiful blue, red, pink, yellow, and purple wildflowers everywhere you turned. It was like a painting, with every speckle of color in the right place.
Birds chirped and whistled and sang. Butterflies fluttered around, dancing in the air with each other. It was serenity, a paradise of its own kind.
But we all know paradise doesn't exist. The world isn't forgiving. It is cruel, dark, nasty, and merciless. There is no true safe haven, not even for the most angelic people.
The birds stopped singing and the butterflies stopped dancing. It was almost like the flowers had wilted instantly and the grass had turned to a pale, horrendous beige.
She saw the shadow emerge from behind her, and then, nothing at all, but the soft, pastel green grass beneath her.
You might be thinking she's dead, but she isn't, no. She's actually just bleeding all over the grass, which, frankly, is ruining the scenery. If you were to stumble open this field and see blood all over the grass, it isn't as appealing. It diverts your attention from everything else.
As you're in that field, the only thing you would be thinking about would be, My, how did that blood get here? and you wouldn't be soaking in the amazing views and such as your mind is occupied. A shame!
However, the girl didn't do anything but pull the knife out of her side and study how the light reflected off of its shiny blade. She looked at it for a while, until she dozed off, exhausted from all the walking she did earlier.
Maybe the world has an ounce of mercy. Just a little.
Hopefully you found that interesting!
This is based off of Yoshihiro Togashi's Hunter X Hunter, although it does not follow the original storyline. Yep. I own my OCs and such.
Updates will be coming soon!
