Here's one of my new stories! I hope you like it ^.^
If you stalk my DA profile (LOL) then you know who they are...
A trail of footsteps leading to a log cabin. A bang. A crash. A shout. Creaking of old wooden staircases. Two new steps of smaller footsteps, distances much wider than the older trail with larger footprints.
There was a blizzard going on. It was one of the most dangerous ones in the time of the year, because it was January. It was January in one of the most snow-bound places on earth – well, maybe except for Antarctica and the Arctic.
One of the figures that created a set of footprints gasped for breath. The other murmured to her urgently, as if to tell her to hurry. She nodded.
She – the first figure – had a deerskin cloak, and she clutched a deerskin bag with holes punched into it, and a pair of curious green eyes peered out. The other one – the boy – was clad in deep blue, the deep blue you would see in the night sky. They plowed through the snow like they'd done it for their entire life. In fact, they had. Their appearances – both with ash blond hair and aqua eyes – were enough to determine the fact that they were native to the area and belonged to the Sami people.
She stuck her boots into the snow tiredly, and the boy did it too, but more effortless. "Ravi, you know I can't keep up. I never do this in a blizzard," the girl wailed.
The boy replied in a hushed tone. "No! Not Ravi. I'm Himuro Haruki – at least, for now."
The girl nodded. "And I'm Yukimura Mizuki, right?"
The boy gave a look of agreement. "And your regal character is improving. Keep it up."
The girl nodded grimly. "Thanks. I miss Reizz. And Dez. And Suzie and Namo."
The boy's eyes dimmed as he remembered Reizz and Dez. They looked so sweet and innocent, even with their horns. And Suzie and Namo, their beloved huskies.
"We'll come back one day. I promise!"
The girl smiled happily.
"Oh no! The ship!" they dashed towards a beam of light that appeared in the distance. The harbor. Their destination. Then, Japan.
They had calculated the time and speed precisely, but there wasn't enough time to consider the variables. So they had to run fast.
As they boarded the ship, ("Illegally as stowaways," the boy couldn't help adding) they gave one last glance behind them. The foghorn sounded, long and mourning.
"Goodbye, home," the girl whispered sadly. "We'll be back – I promise."
Inside the stuffy storeroom they were in, the girl opened the bag. A kitten tumbled out, a bundle of gray fur and exquisite green eyes.
"At least Sahiba here can keep us company," she said, smiling lovingly at the boy. He smiled back, and they both felt a surge of intense love.
The cat was KINDA uneccessary. But I LIKE KITTIES!
So, how did you like it? PLEAAAAAASE review!
