Silent Darkness
a Sarah one-shot
Dark.
A quiet thing, unbroken until now.
sniff
A small noise, followed by the rustling of fabric.
A voice.
"There there, love, it's alright."
Another small sniff, followed by a barely audible chuckle.
"Yeah, sure. They don't expect you to be the best, to keep them safe."
"True, but they need someone to believe in."
"But why me? Why not someone who knows what they're doing?"
"Well, you're the-"
"Oh, shut it... I didn't want this."
"Like last year?"
"Yeah..."
More silence. Then, more rustling of clothes.
"They're going to want you to play tonight. You also promised him."
"To tell everyone? About us?"
A slight shifting of fabric again, as if one of the two nodded.
"Great... Coming out in front of the whole school, including Ms. I-Must-Not-Tell-Lies."
"Oh, she's not that bad."
A snort of laughter. "You didn't have detention with her."
"True, true."
A sigh.
"You don't want to, do you?"'
A pause.
"No..."
"Want me to cheer you up?"
"Ooh... fiesty tonight."
"Well, it is Christmas Eve. Too bad there's no mistletoe..."
A rustling, as if something was pulled from a pocket. "That can be remedied."
A slight swish and an orange light filled the air for a split second, allowing black robes with a badge on the left breast to be seen.
"Look up, love. Mistletoe!"
"Ooh, does this mean I get a kiss?"
"Of course."
A rustling. A slightly muffled groan, then a slight smacking noise.
"Mmm..."
"Feel better?"
"Yeah..."
"Let's go. The ball starts in less than an hour. We've got to get ready."
There was a rustling, and a slap of flesh on stone. The door creaked open and two figures were sillhouetted in it.
The two shared a chaste kiss, before they closed the door, leaving the room once again in darkness.
A/N: Wow... This got spun out in about 60 to 90 minutes in my last class Wednesday. Please review and tell me what you think. If you figure out who the two are, e-mail me. Don't put it in your review. If you haven't read the fic that this is a one-shot for, please do. Once again, I apologize that I didn't get anything out sooner.
