Ashyln's POV

I was three, and so was Reanne. We met in the yard, and we did the first trading there. Months later, we were playing with our stuff, and she said to me.

"Let's be best friends, forever."

I smiled, and pushed a random artificial cell phone button, and smiled as it played a merry tune. "Forever, like, you won't leave me?" The copper haired girl smiled, flashing her young braces. "Pinky promise." I smiled, and we shook our baby pinkies, our golden bond of friendship waxing even more...

"Pinky promise."

I can't believe the game God was playing on me. Daggers of pain, betrayal and overwhelming loss rained on my heart, shattering the value of live dwelling in it like a fragile glass butterfly being abused. First, I lost my memory. It wasn't that completely life affectingly bad, since I got it back a few weeks later. But fighting with my best friend, watching him as his soul started to fade, and most of all, watch my soul partner, slowly disappear in front of my sight, forever, leaving the world that I cannot support so easily.

Tears flowed again and again in my eyes, as if my body contained a unlimited content of water. You promised, Reanne. You promised not to leave me... I screamed it again and again in my heart as my hand grasped my best friend's as tight as I could. I just sat there, feeling the deadly pain of great loss piercing in my heart, until Kai's shout came. The serpentine hissed, and vanished into the woods.

The ninja of Fire carried Reanne into the tent, without anyone noticing. The midnight air blew, the clouds dancing slowly in the sky. Our shadows plunged over the rocky path, yet nothing was in my eye. Zane and the others were frozen with shock, and the fire of revenge raged in Will's eyes as I choked the story to the solemn ninjas. Kai glared at Reanne, his face steely, but his eyes were welling with emotion. "I told you, Rea, I told you, go to sleep, and you won't be killed like that. We can always go there tomorrow, together, without any over killing harm affecting you. Yet, see? How foolish are you?! Why do you have be so childish?!"

Zane had to bring Kai down as he roared over and over again, his voice crackling, at the nearly dead body.

"Remember me and you laughing at Will as we added pepper to Will's gel that Monday? And he sneezed right in front of the Hygiene Critic? We almost had to visit the bone doctor all because of laughing? Then a time you had a problem when some random teen toilet papered our house? And we had the 'toilet paper sisters' nickname for the whole month!" I cried over her ear, my voice almost lost. I didn't care. I had to bring her up, at no case. I spluttered even more moments of our shared life, hoping to see and mild flutter of the eyes, hoping to see her coughing, or at least a stupid fart, to tell me, I'm not alone. To tell me I still have another reason to live.

"Reanne, I know you can hear me, no, you must hear me! You promised me... you swore you won't leave me! You swore never to break the promise..." Cole stayed silent, but his solely apologetic gaze at me loosing over Reanne didn't stop. Jay was in absolute pieces. He bawled and bawled, tossed and turned, his tone too messy for anyone to hear. Will started to slap Reanne's face.

The situation was grim. I held a gentle finger at her back of the wrist. The movements were so faint, lighter than a feather lingering aimlessly in the warm air, making my heart at risk of plummeting into me, and never getting back again. The breath in my lungs grew short and desperate, and my heartbeat skipped, slowly, as time dragged for the venom to eat her body.

I drew a deep breath, hoping for a quickening of her life as a hour, which was centuries to us, ticked by. You will live, Reanne. You will live. You promised, you won't leave me alone.

All the sudden, the pulse stopped.

You promised...

That was...fast. And super short, plus lame. Reviews please? I really appreciate it! :3
