The Castle
What I used to call home, what used to be safe.
Now is empty.
There was no one left in the castle, windows were shattered.
Doors unhinged, my heart broken.
Gabriel held my hand as I sat in what had once been my room, sobbing.
My parents, my castle, all gone.
My life had been ripped from me, and I lay in tatters.
"Jasmine, I'm so sorry, I.." he trailed off, what was there to say?
We walked carefully through the remains, my eyes filling with tears at every turn.
The once lively corridors were empty, and dull the lights burnt out and unkempt.
The stones where covered in ash, most likely from the battles fought throughout the castle.
Some drapes were scorched, others ripped, sword slashes gouged throughout, a extreme battle had been laid on these grounds and bloodshed was apparent.
From the frantic hoof marks on poor Gabriel's field and the extreme emptiness.
We entered my parents room and surprisingly, I didn't break down again, I stared at the bed sheets I had become so accustom to all over the floor.
Leaning over I rubbed the thin cloth between my fingers.
Closing my eyes and felt a familiar tug into the past.
I was younger, maybe six or seven and the gap in my front teeth shown as I looked up into my father Christians eyes.
We sat on the sheet I was now holding.
"Jasmine," he said, a single earring in one of his ears, an anniversary present from my mother, " Marigold and I love you with all our hearts, and even though at the time we had you we didn't know if we were ready for a little girl, we surely know now that you are the best gift that could ever be given,"
I giggled.
He stroked my hair.
"You have a special gift darling, and one day, you'll learn to love it, don't forget that,"
He said pulling back the hair that covered my forehead and kissing it.
I opened my eyes.
How had I-
I shook my head, another advancement for my awful "gift".
Gabriel was shaking my shoulders anxiously.
"Jasmine, Jasmine!"
I looked up at his grey eyes and shook my head slowly.
He looked back at me carefully then helped me stand up.
"Where to next?" he asked, still looking at me harshly.
I opened my mouth to answer but suddenly his hand went to his chest and he pulled out the now bright green stone.
He looked down to see his skin also glowing, but red.
"It's hot," he said looking down in surprise.
I found myself laughing.
He let go of his pendant to laugh along but soon found that it was rising on its own.
The stone was tugging at Gabriel's neck forcing him to follow its lead.
"Hey, STOP!" he said digging his heels into the floor to keep himself in place.
The pendant seemed to pause to think about this, but began to glow even brighter and into the air it went, and with it, Gabriel came.
"Jasmine!" he cried.
Reaching out his hand the green light seemed to absorb the two of us, and into the darkness we found ourselves hurtling.
Sorry its so short, update so ok?
