AN: I'm back! I know I know, after a long hiatus that included college and finals I return to you for the holidays with a gift! A new drabble. This one is sort of weird. I think I intended for it to end differently…but silly characters they have minds of their own. So yeah, here you are! Enjoy!
Drabble #10: An Old Friend (198 words)
The ornament caught the light, breaking it into a thousand pieces that danced across whitewashed walls of Sarah's house. A small girl with dark brown hair sat cross legged in front of the Christmas tree staring deeply in to the ornament. Her mother had told her a friend had sent it to the family as a present on the little girls very first Christmas.
Contained inside the orb of glass were two dancing figures one a woman dressed in a pink gown, the other a man with wild blonde hair. Suddenly, the girl shot up from her sitting position. "Mom! Mom."
Sarah entered the room quickly, coming to stand beside her daughter next to the tree. "What is it Steph?"
"The man Mommy, the man in the crystal. He waved at me."
Sarah knelt down beside the tree, removing the ornament from the tree and bringing it close to her face. She examined the ornament for a long moment with a smile on her face. Slowly, she returned the globe to its place. "Don't worry honey. That's your ornament, remember? That just means he's watching out for you."
"Who is he Mom?"
"An old friend. That's all."
Come on, damn. It's Christmas! Review. Hey, tis' the season!
