1AUTHOR'S NOTE! READ
I am deeply sorry about the long wait. sweatdrop My muse, like, died on me. She told me I was on my own and I'm not very good on my own. However, giving reviews really stimulates me to write more. I dunno why, but they do. So PLEASE give more reviews, even if they're death threats. ;-;
The World Is Quiet Here
Dancing bears, painted wings, things I almost remember
Small, dark strands that had broken from the pack of her braid fell upon her face, blowing in the wind as she stood on the balcony of Xavier's mansion. A small smile arose on her features as the night was clear, the stars recognizable and bright in the blackened sky. Nicole was silent in the night, knowing that most of the mansion was sleeping tightly in their beds.
And a song someone sings, once upon a December
A sigh escaped her thin and tan lips, memories of her and her brother happy, although their parents were not. Then the subject of his betrayal arose as well. Nicole growled, clenching the stone of the balcony rail tighter. She gasped and released it, sighing at the fact that she had burned through another set of gloves. "Dammit..."
Someone holds me safe and warm...Horses prance through a silver storm...
Nicole swallowed violently, stepping away from the rail while trying to keep control of her temper. Her long coat blew in the wind, the black hair that drifted to the small of her back doing the same. She sighed and stood there, her head bent as her blue eyes pierced into the rock below her. She clenched her fists, taking deep breaths as the wind whipped around her small body.
Figures dancing gracefully...Across my memory...
A faint sound drifted to Nicole's ears, footsteps...A heavy boot with a bigger ego as its guide. "Logan..." She whispered, turning to see the man behind her. She may have looked young, but she packed a punch and was far more experienced than her brother. She was younger than him, but he had ran away to a school and left her with their parents.
Far away...Long ago...Glowing dim as an ember
Logan smirked and watched her, a cigar burning between his lips. "Hey Sparky." Nicole chuckled a bit, turning back to the sky as she leaned on the balcony. "Tell me Logan, did you call my brother that or am I special enough to have my own nickname?" The older man smirked and leaned beside her on the balcony rail. "Eh, you're special. But not in the good way."They laughed together, their chuckles riding the wind.
Things my heart used to know, things it yearns to remember...
"Why do you always hang out on this old balcony?" Logan finally asked, removing his cigar for a moment. Nicole was quiet for a while, taking a deep breath and sighing before answering softly, barely above a whisper. "The world is quiet here..."
And a song someone sings...Once upon a December...
