A Wishing Well
Disclaimer: I don't own TT.
There it was. In all it's stony and moss covered glory. Vines were growing out of it like veins. Its stone walls were crumbling from age. Trees had grown out of the ground near it, shadowing it, making it seem like it didn't exist and didn't belong… Just like her.
She silently glided forward, her dead white cloak made her seem like a ghost amongst all the life filled plants. Time had made the grass thick and rough. The young women smiled reminiscently. She remembered the park that had once stood here many years ago. Her friends and herself had spent a lot of time here… When she was human. But her human flesh had long since rotted away. It had been incredibly painful. Her flesh had fallen away like fall leaves and was replaced by demon flesh. She didn't mind very much anymore. She reached out a red clawed hand and gently touched the ancient well. Then out of the corner of her fourth eye, she saw a glint of copper on the stone. She let out a small gasp.
It was a penny. Though it was covered thickly in green rust and dirt, it was still recognizable. She gracefully moved her hand to the penny, picked it up and raised to eye level, almost like it was a window to a time long since passed…
The playful spring wind wisped about the five friends. A young green boy excitedly ran up to the well.
"Dude! Check out this hole thing!" He yelled back to his friends. Suddenly a violet haired girl was next to him.
"It's called a well, Beast Boy." She said in a curiously monotone voice. The three other friends ran over.
"Wow. It must be a hundred years old." A tall dark skinned boy said in wonder.
"Tell me Robin, what is the purpose of this ' well'?" An oddly orange skinned girl asked a pale black haired boy.
"A long time ago it was used for getting water, but nowadays people throw in a coin and wish for something." The boy said sagely. Beast Boy grinned at the violet haired girl.
"Oh Raven?" He said, tauntingly extending all the vowels. "Guess what I've got?"
"Can't be a brain." Raven responded, her voice still strangely monotone. Beast Boy frowned at this while Robin and the dark skinned boy chuckled. The orange skinned girl looked around curiously, but didn't say anything.
"Nope." He said, not understanding the joke. He raised his hand and put it right up to Raven's face. In between his thumb and forefinger was a penny. " A PENNY!" Raven looked at the penny for a short while, then subtly raised one eyebrow. Beast Boy just stood there grinning goofily. The other 3 teens glanced back and forth at Beast Boy and Raven, until Raven finally broke the silence.
"So?"
"So now you can make a wish!" Beast Boy said triumphantly and put the penny down in front of her on the stone wall of the well.
"… Whatever." Raven said apathetically and began to walk away. The other 3 teens shrugged and followed.
"But.. But… BUT RAVEN!" Beast Boy said, pleadingly extending the E in Raven. Raven just kept walking and with a sigh he soon followed.
Raven smiled wistfully at the memory and with a great deal of nostalgic happiness dropped the penny in.
