Games Of A Broken Heart
Chapter One: The Thorn In His Heart
With an unwavering gaze they watched the bright orb of light slowly sink behind the fence that encased their city. The peach and yellow tones dyed the rolling clouds above; a soft warmth caressed their cheeks as the summer breeze ran its course. They let their legs swing off the edge of the building that stood high above the ground; their fingers laced together in an unspoken bond. It wasn't long until the threads of light mingling with the heavens, faded into a chalky mauve colour before finally melting into an inky darkness. Stars twinkled like glowing embers around the argent disc that cast brilliant rays of moonlight onto the sleepy world bellow. Each moment they were up here made them free. They could spread their wings and let the wind carry them beyond the horizon.
"I wonder what is out there" the black haired beauty questioned. Her voice was a light melody that sang to the boy next to her. He sifted slightly on the gravel he sat on, moving closer to the girl. Her young features highlighted in the moonlight, making her look slightly older than the sixteen year old she was.
"Out where?" he asked back without his gaze leaving her profile. She was still unaware of his loving stare.
"Beyond the fence." Her whisper drifting on the breeze that still circulated. Her words were spoken with a forgiveness behind them, as if she was sorry to even think of leaving the place she called home. Her curious nature however, made her mind stir and dream about all the possible things that could exist outside the boundaries she had been given; boundaries they all had been given.
The boy, Eric squeezed her hand slightly, the pressure making her eyes final meet his. Even in the moonlight he could see the transparent icy blue of her orbs. The magic that she held within them calling to him. "One day I will be a Dauntless leader, and I promise you I will tell you what lies beyond the fence." Her smile was shy but enchanting never the less. "I promise Lace." His nickname for her caused her heart to skip a beat. A peaceful silence stretch between them as they watched out over the city once more. Each teen wanting these memories to be etched into there being for as long as they lived. The past few months had been just the same. Memories that neither could forget, even if they tried. "Transfer with me." He finally said around midnight. The moon hung so close in front of them they could reach out and almost touch it.
A sigh escaped her beautiful lips before words thick with raw emotion followed. "You know I can't." Tears fluttered down her cheeks, staining the flesh there. He wanted her to look at him but her eyes were set firmly on their destination. "Please don't do this again." Her pleads fell on deaf ears of a boy who was not used to not getting his own way.
"Why not Lacey?" his voice was raised slightly with his anger. "We are both sixteen and can both choose which faction we want to belong to. It's part of the law of the city! Please Lacey, I love you." He whispered the last three words into the night sky as if they were the biggest secret he held. He grasped her chin gentle with a feather touch, bringing her eyes to meet his stormy ones. Tiny flecks of silver sparkled at him from them, but so did tears that spilled over slowly.
"Eric, we are only sixteen, that's the thing. We don't know what love is, not yet. A crush is what this is."
"Don't say that Lace." Eric felt his own tears threaten to fall but refused them to. He had not even cried when his own mother had died because it showed he was weak, and he certainly wouldn't be weak because the girl he loved was breaking his heart.
"Eric" She placed her small palm on his cheek. "I'm Factionless. Always have been, and always will be. I can never transfer. When you get to Dauntless, we can't be friends anymore. I'm sorry." Her heart too was shattering into a million unfixable pieces. There was nothing neither of them could do thought, as they knew this was how it had to be; there was no way in this world that they could be together. "Remember me Eric. Remember all the memories engraved in here" she placed her hand over his heart, feeling the thumping of it.
"You'll always be the thorn stuck in my heart, Lacey Miller." Sadness filled the night as both said their goodbyes to each other. She slipped her hand from his for the last time, knowing it would never feel his warmth again. Her soft lips touched his lingering for a few seconds before pulling away. Silently she stood and climbed down the fire escape on the outside of the building before running all the way back to Factionless. Tears flowed even more now. As she disappeared from Eric's sight he let single tear fall. Quickly he wiped it away and swore to himself that as soon as he became leader in Dauntless, he would not stop until he found her again. Lacey Miller would be his; no matter what the law says. The thorn in his heart would be lodged there until the day she came home; home to him.
