Rings of Fate:
Chapter 7: A Surprising Sight
The colors faded in with the darkening sky, the end of yet another day. The stars in the newly fallen night sky started drawing constellations with the fading background. As time slowly moved on, so did the sun. The orb of life peaking for one last time before it faded over the horizon. As the sun is beautiful, giving light to the land we've know to love, the night has its own unique beauty that many over look. The dark sky tends to make the living hide in fear, afraid because they cannot see where they're going. But… If it wasn't for the night sky, the stars wouldn't shine so brightly. And without those stars, the dark sky will have no purpose but to end another day.
Faintly, just ever so faintly you could hear the constant, thunderous petal point of the waterfall; pounding the canyon with its mighty strength and everlasting flow. A wondrous thing, water is, as the rushing water seemed to fall from the heavens and down to the abyss… always moving…
The trees around shook quietly with the gentle breeze as the branches creaked just slightly from the stress of the rippling leaves. Little creatures chirped their songs into the gentle breeze, singing their lullaby to anything that was lucky enough to listen.
It was so calm, the sighing of the trees, the rhythmic waterfall, and the starry sky… Life is beautiful if you knew where to look.
A funny sound caught the wind. The sound of a broken breath, a chuckle, a laugh sounded from the warn road. So pure, that hearty sound, the lightness in pitches… a young female, laughing lightly at something.
A different broken pitch sounded, deeper and richer… a Male. A female and male… together as a pair… laughing.
The road seemed to glow from lights shining upon them as the headlights came closer to the post. The Male taking the lead, as the young female wasn't that far behind him. The female paused as she looked around at her surroundings, the laugh from before weakened into a slightly timid chuckle.
"Wheel well?" She asked as she pointed her new headlights towards the newly refurbished building.
The Male's taillights brightened, stopping when he realized she wasn't moving as he turned towards the motel. "Mhmm. Sally's second business." The male chuckled as he rolled a little further, some of the light from the female's low beams reflected on his hide… that cobalt blue paint, faintly standing out from the dark surroundings. A Hudson… A Hudson Hornet to be exact.
The female chuckled her familiar light laugh, "She's got her tires full doesn't she?"
She shook her grill in a playful fashioned. "She's crazy."
The Hornet cocked his windshield at her, rolling back slightly to get a better look at her. His headlights caught a glimpse of her ocean painted frame… a Mustang… and older Mustang, but a younger female… How strange. A younger classic…
"Is that so?" The Hudson chuckled, "If that makes her crazy, what does that make me?"
The Mustang's smile grew into a crooked one, amusement filled her… Violet eyes. " A Lunatic."
The Hudson blinked his… Crystal blue eyes… at the response he received "A Lunatic?" The Hudson chuckled at that as he gave her a light nudge.
The Mustang chuckled back in response, weaker than the Hornet's, and very lightly nudged back.
The Hudson found her reactions to be strange as his face dropped the amused expression, "Is everything alright Alice? You're a little shaken up."
The Mustang, known as Alice, gave a weak shrug, "Well… it's a little dark out." Her eyes wearily looked around at her surrounding again. "A lot can happen in the dark."
The Hudson chuckled weakly as he pulled her in close in comfort. "Don't worry, I've got ya. You're safe when I'm here. I won't let anything harm you."
He smiled warmly at her, the crystal eyes seemed purple around his iris in a clearly cut circle when he said. "I promise."
There was a pause between the two as they seemed to just enjoy the bonding time they had… Which made the third party shift it's weight in anticipation.
"So Doc, what are we doing up at wheel well for?" Alice asked from the safety of the Hornet embrace.
The Hudson, named Doc, snapped his attention to the purpose of the climb up the mountain. "I wanted to show you something." He released his embrace and guided her with a gentle tire. "Come see for yourself."
The Hornet's headlights clicked off, as he rolled over to the edge of the Cliff. "It's best if you shut the lights off. The Darker the better."
The Mustang blinked, her eyes wondering around her once more before unwillingly shutting her lights off. "Alright, Lights are….off…." Her eyes went up to the sky, her mouth opened in awe. "Wow, look at the stars!"
The Hudson got a light laugh out of her expression to the night sky. "This is a site to see."
The Mustang slowly blinked, "I'll say…" Her gaze seemed to dart around in the starry sky as His gaze seemed to follow the wondrous pattern that they both shared. The Hudson shifted a little in his stance causing a loud cracking sound… but it did come from the Hudson at all…
The sight sifted to the tires that were hidden in the bushes, lifting the right tire to find a broken stick in several pieces. Adrenalin washed over the on looker as it's gaze flashed back up towards the pair.
"What was that?" The Mustang nervously rushed her sentence as she quickly snapped on her headlights and whirled around rather quickly. The headlights shining in the watchers eyes as the car backed off a little, hoping to be concealed within the brush.
The Hornet back up to face Alice, His face not as entirely concerned at Alice's fear. "Your just as paranoid as Lightning... " He shook his grill a little at her being "over dramatic", like the cherry red stock car last night….
The figure's eyes were a little wide, hoping that the Mustang would head his words. Can't been seen... not yet… there was no plan yet… not enough information….
The Hudson flicked his lights on, as he was a little more daring than the Mustang, moving a little closer to the post that the watcher hid from.
The watcher rolled back a little more…*crack*
The Hudson's eyes were fixed on that spot, "Alright... that's enough. Come out and show yourself."
The watchers eyes darted from the Mustang. To the Hudson… The Hudson…. A smile came a crossed the watchers grill as the fast mind started formulating a plan… maybe being caught wasn't that bad of an idea….
"Alright, you caught me." The light voice came from the watcher as the Classic took it's time rolling out into the beams of light. The red fins stuck out from her deep blood red frame, White trim reflected off of her hid as it came back at the watchers… She fluttered her eyes, like she did all those years ago. "Hey Huddy."
The Hudson reaction was indescribable. His eyes went wide… but his emotions were hard to read. It almost seemed, painful to watch… for someone else. His open mouth quivered with disbelief, as it barly formed the word…."Christine."
The Mustang's eyes were petrified as her Violet eyes flickered a green ring of sort. "Those….. Those eyes!...." Color started draining from her features as her eyes rolled to the back of her head as her body crashed down with a loud *thud*.
She found a thought quite interesting… causing her brownish red eyes smiled for herself… pleased.
*chuckles*….. Do I have your attention now?
