Love Between Two Worlds
Chapter 1:
The streets of the peaceful village of Sunlighta just outside Parthenia which had taken no part in the
whole events of the Mouse King's reign and the Nutcracker as the villagers had stayed out of it as
they hated things like war, misery, sorrow and death but there was no normal village as it's residents
were all mice which make anyone think they had other reasons to stick in their own lives well it was
wrong for unlike any other mouse in the magical land which they helped others in times of need as
they were sitting up shops and stalls that day as an strange visitor that morning. ''Fresh fish fresh
fish come get it'' said a male brown mouse in a cheery voice with his dark eyes in his yellow shirt and
brown trousers to show his happy mood as the smell of trout, salmon and mongfish even thought it
drifted a vile rotten scent to the hooded stranger's nose walking past him to where a white fur
female mouse with a pink dress and green headscarf around her head with gold bangle earrings and
matching bangle on her right arm with a emerald necklace. She standing behind a stall which held
different colour jewel rings, earrings, necklaces and bracelets. ''Fine jewellery for sell fine jewellery''
she shouted as her eyes beamed in happiness. Shaking his head moving on past her till the
mysteorus person stopped at the square sighing at the slient of no one bothering yet felt there was
something or someone he yern for but what. Meanwhile in a farther part of town an old big
rundown house stood by itself as parts of it was falling off. The step outside made a little creak as it
almost break under the weight as the door was nearly off its hinges but still able enough to stay
strong made from the trongest oak as opened to reveal the front room as a warm fire burnt brightly
in the far corner near the hall where the stairs led to the two bedrooms. In other parts of the room
where a few shelves above the purple and pink stain glass window where clothes of different colours
of dresses, shirts and trousers neatly piled beside each other while next to right of the window was a
green changing screen with blue and white butterflies. In the middle of the room a middle size table
stood that lay a needle, thread, some cloth, ribbon, a pair of scissors and a book at an open page as
two mice were finishing their share of chores that morning before the male one was to leave. He
was a black mouse with light green eyes that lit up like lamps in the darkness as he wiped the sweat
off his brown then wipe it on his red shirt making sure it didn't drip onto his green trousers as he
sighed happily at the younger female as the top of his head was almost turning grey since he had
taken care for her so long. As she went went over to the right side of the fire where a pair of brown
leather boots reaching down picking them up handing them to him as he put the boots pat her on
the top of her head which was long black raven hair tied back as he stopped as he stared into her
chestnut brown eyes as it reminded him of the wonderful times of his wife before she passed away
so young. He couldn't keep his eyes off her as everyday she was becoming more like her mother as
she had her beauty. She had the same brown fur as a gentle smile spread across her face to help
take the pain away from him as she knew how much he missed her. ''Ah Rosalinda you always know
of how to find a way to brighten my days that is why I got you a little present'' he said the eighteen
year old. ''What is it papa'' she questioned curiously at him. Not saying anything he turned away
from her to where a hidden drawer in the table taking out a white paper wrapped small object in
both his hands then return to face her hand it to her opening it. Inside was a tiny golden comb with a
red rose at the top of it. ''Oh papa it is beautiful I love it'' she said hugging him holding her gift in her
hands making sure not to drop it.''I know you would my little Rosebud'' he said as a tear almost drop
from his eye as he caught it in time before she saw it. He took it in his hand then raised it place it
behind her left ear in front of her green ribbon. ''Now darling I have to go but I need you to do me
one little thing'' he said with a serious look on his face. ''Yes what is it papa'' she said. ''Make sure
after I leave to keep the door bolted till I come home'' he said gently putting a hand on the shoulder
of her green dress as she stared back him showing she understood. He was pleased as he walked out
into the bright sunshine as she closed the door behind him as promised. Then as soon he was gone
as his feet was no longer heard as she picked up a piece of cloth taking the needle from the table
then holding the two items went to the window opening it a bit then sat down in front of the fire
began to sew. ''Take me into the night under your wings of love so we can dance till the end of time
to be together as one soul letting our flames never die out'' she sang while sewing as she knew the
song from somewhere as a child from a lullaby her voice was low but it flutter out as anyone nearby
could easily hear it. Then she stopped half way in the middle of her work then closed the window as
sadness creep into her. That moment the hood stanger had heard her sweet voice not too far off as
he ran in the way it came to find the owner of it.
