Rose quietly exited the guest room and into the huge main hallway of Twin
Castle. No one was there. She thought that she would have came across a guard,
but the place was seemingly deserted. Maybe all the guards are resting,
she thought, it is the Coming of Age Ceremony tomorrow. Her footsteps
made quiet patters as she walked down the stairs to the main gate. Finally she
was out of the stuffy castle and into the bewildering night.
She had escaped. She would always leave at night times. Since she was
used to traveling alone she wasn't used to their sleeping arrangements. The
room her majesty bestowed upon them, was very nice, but only had three beds. She
was traveling with five other people. After a half hour of awkward sleeping
arrangements Rose decided to leave, assuming that everyone had drifted asleep.
She walked past the closed
merchant tents and down the ivory white steps. The town looked different at
night. It was more tranquil and mystical. She walked to the edge of town, to the
beach. Most of the towns' people were scarred to go down there. Rumor was that
a vile sea monster was out there, and that he could rip a man apart with his icy
glare.
Rose was not afraid, she knew that
her dark dragoon spirit would protect her. She serenely sat on the beach, right
on the water. The waves peacefully brushed up against her old leather boots. She
stared out into the strange, vast waters and up at the huge amethyst moon. It
made her want to cry. When she was around the others she always acted so
depressed. She would never smile, never cry. She was so harsh with herself and
others. But when it was just her, she would cry. She would cry at the tarnish
humans were putting to this planet. How they were destroying it. She sat in the
cool sand and silently cried. Alone.
"What are you doing here,
Rose?" asked a strange man who had silently walked up behind her.
She turned in surprise. It was
Dart. "Nothing." She whispered, wiping the tears from her cheeks. "Did you
follow me? How long were you here?" the tone of her voice was harsh. What if
Dart told the others? Told them that she had been crying, that she was weak.
Rose stood up.
"I woke up and noticed you were
gone, I thought you might be here. I just got here a few seconds ago. What are
you doing?" asked Dart, as he approached her.
She looked at him. His golden hair
was moving in the salty sea breeze. His eyes reflected the moon. He was so nice
to her. She knew that she was in love with him, but she would never tell. She
knew that he loved Shana, that Shana loved him. She reluctantly sighed and
turned back to the ocean. "I already said; I'm not doing anything just
thinking."
"About what?" asked Dart, as he stood next to her.
"What were doing, why were here. Just that sort of thing." She turned
to see that he was staring at her. She quickly turned back, fixing her stare on
the sand below her feet. A slight blush spread across her face. She tried not to
smile, but a slight grin penetrated its way to her lips. He dark mauve hair blew
across her face.
"Is that a smile I see?" Asked Dark as he reached to her face and
moved the hair behind her ear.
I wish he would just go away. Wished Rose as he turned to look
into Darts' beautiful faultless eyes. She didn't want to fall deeper in love
with him. But it was to late. Her eyes became glazed over as she stared into his
eyes.
He bent down and slowly kissed her pale lilac lips. Rose's face turned
a bright shade of pink. After he released the kiss he held her face and wiped
away the salty trail he tears had made on her cheeks. Rose shyly rapped her arms
around his neck and kissed him again.
After an eternity they released the kiss and then stood in each other's
embrace.
"I will always be with you." Said Dart.
"I will always be with you too, Dart." Said Rose. "I promise."
