A/N: Hey guys! I'm glad you don't mind these little blurbs I'll be putting in. This is my first fan fiction and I realized that other people did this too.
Hehe. Meep. Anyway, thanks for all the reviews! I'm slowly getting more and more! I didn't even expect to get half of the amount I have now!
Love you all and I hope you enjoy this chapter! I'm supposed to be doing homework right now... ;)
It had been a hundred years spend alone for Lily. She still looked seventeen but she was actually almost a hundred and eighty years old.
Still young for a spirit. Every single one of those days, she would wake up and face the rising sun and silently say, I love you, to Eve and vow to never forget her.
Never put her in the past and try to push her to the back of her mind. She promised that she would always love Eve with all her heart and soul.
Spending a century with no one to talk to all but drove her nuts. Lily had always been a social person and she longed to talk to someone.
She'd also always believed in the phrase, "Love and you will be loved." Right now, she was desperate for the love of another human being. Anyone.
Immortal or mortal. Hell, she didn't even know if other immortals even existed! What if she was just some sort of freak accident?
If there were others like her, they would talk to her... right? With her deprivation of social contact came boredom. And with boredom came mischief.
Lily always found something new to do. Some days she would spend her time sitting in a snow bank, trying to make a snowflake as detailed as she could possibly get it.
Other days, she would frost trees and flowers or make mini blizzards. She didn't know how to make full on blizzards yet, but if she did, she would have already.
She was constantly finding something to keep her occupied. Lily noticed that the winter weather changed slightly according to her mood.
When she was angry or upset, the snow would fall harder in small flurries around her. When she was happy, the snow fell lightly at her feet.
There were rarely any blizzards because she was rarely ever mad.
She had become very good at tucking away any negative feelings into the back of her mind, where they couldn't hurt her for long.
On occasion, she would slip up and all her unhappy feelings crowded to the front of it - there were just a few emotions that she couldn't push away.
She still felt lonely and she still felt fear. And she still felt despair and hopelessness.
So, she often took refugee in the small patch of woods that she had expertly decorated with winter, entertaining herself with the little ice creatures she made out of snow.
One day, Lily ran out of new ideas.
She'd never cared much for Christmas carols but that's exactly how bored she was when she started to sing "Winter Wonderland" out loud.
Everything was just too silent. She had to fill the emptiness somehow. She walked over to the little frozen pond she had created for herself.
Once in the middle, she sat down cross-legged and sighed, content. Lightly tracing her finger over the thick ice, she adorned the pond with frost.
Bored again, she decided to try a new trick. Jumping up into the air and catching the wind, she spun and twisted, somersaulting in the sky.
Her movements caused the wind to swirl around her in a vortex of biting wind, ice, and fresh snow.
Slowly, she descended from the sky as the vortex became a spinning ball the size of a baseball.
Blowing on her special snowball, she turned it into snow. She threw it up into the air and watched as it bursted into a shimmering mass of snow and frost.
At the same time that it bursted, a blue ray of light spread throughout the entire patch of woods, frosting everything within range of the ray.
Lily grinned from ear to ear. After all, she had finally mastered her most amazing trick yet.
But as she was congratulating herself for doing such a fine job, a light thud coming from behind Lily had her whirling on her heels, ready to defend herself from whatever it was she heard.
But she saw nothing amongst the newly decorated trees.
Was she going crazy? Yes, Lily thought. I have finally gone insane. I can't believe I'm that desperate for human contact. She felt the slightest presence of déjà vu.
"That was really pretty."
Lily jumped up and spun back around, looking for the source of the voice. But again, no one was there.
She was sure that voice had been real so she started walking off the pond, with her eyes and ears alert.
"Hey! Where ya going?"
Now Lily was positive she wasn't crazy.
But this time, she kept her wits about her and turned like a normal person rather than a crazed idiot that didn't know how to control herself.
And there standing in front of her, was the strangest boy she'd ever seen.
