The Woman of Ice
Rain. The rain was pounding softly on the snow covered ground. It was falling on her small frame in a rhythmic dance. Her eyes were closed. She was listening. She was listening to everything around her. She was listening to the music of the forest.
Slowly she lifts up her hand. Up, up, up. Then she fists it.
Her emerald eyes snap open and her delicate hand unfolds and with the movement the water freezes in mid-air. It looks like floating ice crystals. Slowly she conducts the ice with her hands to do as she wills. They move with each movement or twitch. They were at the mercy of each of her silent commands. They can do nothing but obey.
This was nothing to her. Not even a mere droplet in the bucket. She can freeze masses of water all at once, create tsunami's, control the ice. She can withstand the cold with pure delight. Heck, who is she kidding? She loves the ice with all her might! She does not need to worry about her death in ice. She is the ice.
Suddenly she twirls around, the ice instantly forming in small, thin needles. Her eyes were closed as she got lost in the feeling of the power than wash through her.
The Needles of Death fly into the trees with amazing speed, burrowing itself deeply into the bark. The trees were now spiked with crystals of all emotions. The needles glinted in the only offered moonlight, showing the emotions trapped within.
Her emerald eyes opened. They sparkled with magic. The pure joy in her eyes can easily be seen.
As she stretches out with a smile on her lips the rain came falling back down to earth. But just before the first drop of cold water could smash into the snow…the rain froze again as if time had no meaning for them.
With a giggle she twirled around again making the now frozen droplets turn with her. As her laughter increased, the spinning water went faster as well and snow began to gather up as well. To anyone that would be blessed upon seeing this scene unfold it would look like a gentle ice tornado that sweeps at the air with calming touches.
Her long pink hair bounced with every step she takes on top of the snow. It followed her every move.
With a giggle of delight she starts dancing the moments the full moon rises above the tree tops. The ice sparkled in the light the moon provides as she twirls. She loves this new found freedom. It makes her feel so full of life, so free, so alive.
Suddenly a dagger flies past her. In her shock she loosens her grip on the element she wields. The ice and snowflakes falls lifelessly back down to earth. The magic and wonder disappear taking all the joy along with it. She spins about in confusion. She's trying to find what being ever wants her death. She hears the chuckle echoing. Slowly she turns to face the newcomer. What she sees is something that she could never forget. Something that will end her…
She was startled awake. She looked up confusedly at the menacing teacher that looms above her desk.
'Glad you could join us,' she said, 'now get back to work young lady.'
I nodded and stared down at the new work lying on my desk with my cheeks painted an embarrassing red.
It was just a dream, she thought, it was just a dream! But…what does this mean for me? I…can't be both! I have the ice already but not…
She was shaken out of her thoughts, literally. The whole school started to shake and tremble. The walls began to crumble and the lights flickered. Screams erupts throughout the whole school as an unseen force crashed into the walls making the lights give out their last before flickering out permanently. The walls began to tear apart and children began ducking in and out everywhere. The second and third story floors are crumbling and tearing out chunks at a time.
What is going on? Suddenly everything went quiet. Everyone is holding their breath as the shaking seized. Only dust falling to the floor could be heard throughout the darkness. I blindly started grabbing at the air to search for the door but instead I grabbed an arm. I freeze as I grab hold and looked up into the darkness. Crimson eyes focused on me and dread filled every pore of my body.
I was unconscious and whisked away from the town before I could even open my mouth to scream.
