Special
She felt the cool wind, as it blew her hair back. She stood, clinging onto the ring that stayed firm in her hands, tears streaming from her face. She stared up at the starrt sky, as the clear water brushed up against her feet. Why? Why did everything turned out like this? She sighed heavily, glancing at the building close by. The lights were on. They were looking for her. She opened her hands, staring at the delicate ring that glistened in the moonlight. War... Almost stoticly, she unclipped her necklace, treading the ring trough it, before clipping the necklace on. It didn't really go well with the crystal, but she didn't want to loose it. Maybe it was because, with it she felt stronger... Yes, that was it, she felt stronger with it. She started up at the moon, lost in thought. Had it come to this? Fighting? Dieing? Lost? Maybe, just maybe they could do something. Peace... that was what they fought for. And many people died for it.
"Demo..." she murmured quietly, rubbing the tears from her eyes. For a moment, she felt someone place a hand on her shoulders. It felt familiar, but when she turned around, no one was there. She felt alone, and began to cry.
Cautiously, he approached her, seeing the state she was in. He knew she wanted to be alone, but right now she needed a shoulder to cry on. He placed a hand on her shoulder. She turned around, eyes red. He forced a smile, before she threw herself at him crying. He hugged her tightly.
"Why?"
"It'll be alright, we'll be alright." he paused, as she rubbed her eyes. "Come on," he said gently taking her hand.
"No," she shook her head violently, "I want to stay here... I feel closer to him." he smiled slightly, as she sat stonily on the ground. He joined her, as she gazed at the moon again.
"Maybe..." he murmured, "Maybe one day this will all end. So no one will have to suffer the lose... so no one will feel alone."

She could just hear her mothers song, as it drifted towards them.
"Maybe..." she murmured. He looked at her curiously. "Maybe everything will be O.k." she looked at him, now slightly confident. "I think I'm ready now." he smiled at her, pulling himself up from the sand.
"Let's head back, shall we?"
"Yeah..."
