Part 4
Hortensia searched again to find another place, a strange land she
thought. A site, an excavation site and several men digging but also
singing along with one another. Pierre Hiver wiped his forehead and
leaned on his shovel, looking over at his friends,
"Dont steal it Laurencin!" Hiver smiled, Laurencin, a red haired young
man smiled back,
"Heh, same to you Hiver!" he shouted back, digging furiously.
Searching for Reine Michéle, a 30 carat diamond that had been stolen
so many times that it was hopeless in counting,
"Lets just hope we get back to Noël eh Laurencin?" Hiver laughed,
Laurencin playfully rolled his eyes, "You treat my sister well!" Hiver
warned laughing.
Noël, Hiver's younger sister and Laurencin's lover, the centre if both
men's attention. Hiver dug and trembled, happily,
"I found it!" he exclaimed, picking it up and holding it up to the
sky. Glimmering in the moonlight was Reine Michéle, Laurencin nodded
at the other man and snuck up behind Hiver, "Im coming Noël" Hiver
said to himself, Laurencin raised his shovel and smacked it against
Hiver's head. Falling to the ground, Hiver immediately died,
"No you won't" Laurencin said, picking up Reine Michéle. But 'she'
came with a price, anybody who held 'her' would become overcome with
greed.
"We're going home boys!" Laurencin shouted, covering Hiver's body with
shovel fulls of dirt. His grave was there, "Im coming Noël!" he raised
his arms in victory and continued home.

Laurencin ran toward Noël, arms spread and he hugged her, picking her
up and spinning her around. He shouted in happiness,
"Noël, how Ive missed you!" he beamed, "We can finally get married!"
he gleamed with a smile,
Noël smiled, but looked around and stared at her lover worried, "But,
where's Hiver? Where's my brother?" she asked, Laurencin saddened
falsely,
"He isn't coming back, Noël. The cave in which we found Michéle
collapsed on him, he's dead. I'm sorry" Laurencin replied falsely,
Noël paused for a moment and then tears fell from her eyes. Sobbing,
the young Noël looked at her lover with apologetic eyes,
"Laurencin, I'm sorry. But without my brother accompanying me at our
wedding, it isn't happening. I'm sorry" Noël said, leaving the scene
crying. Laurencin stood frozen and heartbroken, out of his bag he
pulled out Reine Michéle and held it high.
Greed had got him, nowhere . . .
-
Seeing no bright side Noël sat staring out the window, chin in her
hands, unable to believe Hiver was dead,
"Come on big brother, Hiver" she sighed, "I wonder when he'll come
back" Still unable to recieve his death, the dollmaker's daughter
stared out the window for what seemed to be forever.
Laurencin left Michéle on the path, not knowing in future it would cut
a great many necks. Not long after that, it was kept behind glass.
Sleeping elegantly, waiting for 'her' prime. Locked away, the Queen of
Death sleeps.
Two robbers edged toward Michéle and took her, gleaming with
happiness. But the alarm siren didn't fail to activate,
"Shit! Run away!" One thief said, leaving without the other,
"Hey, wait up!" The other ran after the first, not getting far. A
mistake would bring penalty, Michéle has again been set out into the
world granting a reservation in the book of the dead.
A wonder nurtured by Mother Earth, the world's largest and most
celebrated jewel, a 30 karat red diamond. Leaving tracks from owner to
owner, it grants a reservation in the book of the dead, the 30 karat
Reine Michèle.
Hortensia watched motionless and said in a hushed tone,
"I wonder if there's a Roman there"
a/n: Hi! I am so sorry I have been away, I haven't updated. Been bought down by my bitchy school. Anyway….
I have started writing the 5th one. Hoshikuzu no Kawahimo. I believe it's a Violette one. After that, my favourite song, Hiiro no Fuusha. =3
Btw, I found out my Dad is Chinese, so that means I am half Chinese. Should I have noticed sooner? Yeah…..
