Love From a Distance
"Donia!" Aislinn yelled. "I know you're here." Donia was enfuriated and jealous with rage over Aislinn. She was queen and accepted in the court of warmth. Summer. While Donia was left to be Ice Cold. Aislinn was Keenan's chosen. He loved her while he fondly looked upon Aislinn. Aislinn and him spent a lot of time together. The thing she envied most.
"Why should I speak to you?" Donia asked with fury. "You have him. You have the position that everyone would want. You have knowledge that I love him. You took him from me with your ways. You took him from me with your annoying destiny!"
"But I never wanted it Donia. I came to help you and Keenan. I don't love Keenan. I love Seth." Aislinn replied sighing. "I want you and Keenan to be happy. Keenan is just as miserable as you. Think of me coming on behalf of friendship. It was you who helped make the arrangement where I can still see Seth and rule along side Keenan. I have a debt to you." Aislinn took Donia's cold hand. Donia started sobbing.
"Tell me something. How are you going to help?" Donia said. "Everytime Keenan and I touch, my court weakens. My court will not survive if I decide to be with Keenan. I have to think politics here. We cannot even unite as one. For winter and summer would face a defeat towards the Dark Court and the High Court. It would be chaos with out Winter and Summer."
Aislinn pondered Donia's words for a moment. It wasn't that simple. She could not just abruptly bring two deadly opposites together because of love. Love is fantastic but it would ruin everything politically. "Who said you even had to touch?" Aislinn asked.
"How can you love someone if you can't even touch them?" Donia asked thinking that Aislinn's remark a moment ago was rather idiotic.
"I mean, Seth is at the High Court right now, but I still love him. You can love someone from a distance Donia. Love doesn't need to declare itself physically. Don't get me wrong… its great if you can get physical but its ok to love someone without touch."
"So you are saying that I can love Keenan. I can say I love Keenan. My court won't be affected if I do. Yet I wish I could hold Keenan."
"Maybe in time." Aislinn said. "I honestly wish this was not my destiny. Donia, I wanted this to be your destiny. I see the way you look at Keenan. I see the way Keenan looks at you. It should have been you."
Donia smiled. Aislinn was someone she was no longer jealous of. She didn't hate her. She actually thought Aislinn could be her friend. Maybe having Aislinn around wouldn't make her life lonely anymore.
Hours passed, Aislinn was ready to depart. "It was really nice talking to you, Donia." Aislinn smiled.
"Absolutely." Donia smiled. "Feel free to visit anytime." Donia smiled. For her new friend was formed out of her jealousy for her even though there was nothing to be jealous of because Aislinn does not have any feelings for Keenan except in a platonic way.
