"Why do people say love is so amazing when it seems to only break my
heart?" Dev asked the silence as he stared into the green gem that laid in
the palm of his hand.
*Because people are dumb, they actually believe that love brings joy.* Said the voice in his mind.
"I wish Spring could know that I love her, I wish-"
*Stop foolish wishes, Frog, she truly has a hold on you. She is nothing, remember how beautiful Page was!*
A single tear found its way down Dev's green face and onto the emerald. He put the necklace around his neck and sat down in a small green patch of grass. He thought of Spring, not Page, and everything about her.
Spring walked through the garden, she thought about what had just happened. Why did Dev walk to me in the river? What did he want? Why did I run away from him!? All these thoughts and more went through her mind. Why does it hurt so much?
"Well look who it is." Daisy said walking up behind Spring. "Thinking of your imaginary lover?"
"Not an imaginary love." Spring said to herself, then without thinking. "But I do love him. And he hates me."
Daisy stopped walking, stopped her evil grin and stared in shock at her younger stepsister. This would be the time that her kind womanly instincts came to the rescue and she would hug her sister and try to find out what was wrong. Yeah right!
"You are in love? With who? With what? And of course he... it would hate you, who couldn't?" Daisy said walking up to her sister. "Like I said; if you were a beautiful princess like me he would probably not hate you. I am everything your not."
Spring nodded, Daisy was right. If Spring was what everyone else thought beautiful or if she acted like a princess Dev would love her, but here she sat, alone and crying and the only comfort to her was the imaginary world she held so close. But in truth, the world was harsh, cruel and unfair. She had always thought she would fall madly inlove with a handsome knight who would love her in return and who would take her far away. But instead she is inlove with a frog, a frog! and one who doesn't love her in return, who even hated her. She let the tears run freely, even there infront of Daisy. She put her head in her hands and cried for a long time.
Daisy stood stood still and stared at the younger girl. Never before had anything she said taken such an affect on the younger girl. Was she really in love with a man? It couldn't be, unless of course it was some beggar in the woods. That was perhaps the reason she was always there, Spring stood and wrapped Daisy in a hug and cried. She knew it wasn't Angel, but she needed comfort, and she would look for it anywhere.
Daisy didn't understand what was happening. In the first moment she thought Spring was trying to hurt her. She stared in shock, not sure what to do. Gently she tapped the younger girl on the back.
"It's okay Spring," Daisy stuttered out, not sure of anything else to say. "I'm sorry."
Daisy tapped her younger stepsister on the back a few more times and let her cry. Who had done this to change her sister so much? She wasn't used to doing caring things for Spring, it was more arguments and trying to figure out what Spring would do next. Never had they actually been civil to one another, let alone hugged! Spring was going insane, Daisy was sure of it. She was also sure she had to get to the bottom of it. Only because, she told herself, she was nosy and wanted to know. She really wasn't worried about Spring in anyway.
