Silly

Anis was leaning against the car's window, her cheek pressed on the cold glass as she was staring at the cloudy sky, her breath fogging it here and there. It was totally going to rain. It was April for crying out loud, it was supposed to be spring and the sun should be at least visible! The pinkette hugged herself in an effort to get more comfortable. She let a sigh escape her lips as her thoughts drifted away. She just couldn't stand this kind of weather, i mean she did like the rain but she didn't like it when she was alone. All she wanted to do at the moment was to go home and bury herself in her pillows and sheets while wearing her comfy pj's. And to have him there; close to her. She so bad wanted him to hug her, to listen to his stupid jokes and play with his lovely hair, but nooo he was enchanted and she was the only one that could save him. Just when she was feeling happy, frightened but nonetheless happy, all went straight to hell. And as if that were not enough they had only thirty days- twenty nine to be precise- and the damn clock was ticking. Sure they had made some progress but it was only the beginning of their journey and something told her that they had a long way before they could actually save him. Anis slightly turned her head to look at the girl sitting right next to her.

Nefeli was staring outside of the window and was brutally biting her lower lip and no one could say whether it was because she was trying to restrain her tears or due to anxiety. I am so sorry Anis. She shut her eyes tightly. I can not let you know…you can't know just yet.

His mind was going blank whenever the girl showed up, bringing an extremely enticing smell with her every time. She said her name was Ella. Had he ever met her before? If not – which he was sure of- how could he develop such feelings for her. Every word she spoke was an order to him and he could not act else way. When she was around at least. But when she was absent he was trying to think logically, maybe it was love at first sight, he couldn't just reject the possibility, but still it made him wonder. It was like his mind was in a haze, everything seemed blurry…well all but Ella. And now she was there next to him and he could not stop staring.

'Oh love you act as if enchanted…'she chuckled.

'Maybe it's because of your endless beauty my lady.' He said, intoxicated by the smell.

'Haha..I like it so much now…do you know how hard it was to pretend i lost to someone? Do you know how annoying is having someone to tell you to be patient?' she raised a brow

'It must have been awful… I know how it feels when I am waiting for you …' his eyes half-closed.

'Yes…yes my little precious boy…' he patted his nose with her index finger. '…that should be a good lesson for her, Father said he would punish her and that is exactly what he is doing right now, my love' she smiled.

'Who?' he dizzily asked.

'Now we just need to make sure she sees you kissing someone else, per say me…'she chuckled again. And we will completely shatter her heart...just like mine when I realized I couldn't have what she does. '…and that is so much more painfull than any other kind of pain.' She bit her lip

'Who?'he insisted

'No one my love, don't think about it, let your beautiful mind at peace…' she leaned in and whispered to his ear. '…and I will reward you, alright?'

He nodded positively.

'Good boy.'she kissed his cheek and left.

'Wait! When will I see you again?' he desperately asked

'Soon love, very soon…'she smiled and left the room .

Upon closing the door she saw the violet rose leaning against the wall.

'So what about him?' he asked not looking at her.

'Well he is still mumbling her name in his sleep…good thing the smell of the Triantafilon makes him forget everything…'a frown shadowed her features. '…I'll make sure this doesn't happen again.'

'I know Anis! I know! You don't have to yell at me!' Nefeli shouted frustrated.

'I am sooo sorry for being concerned about my knight, alright?' she threw her hands in the air.

'I never said anything about that, but you frustrate me! I am not a genius and I react even worse under pressure okay? How am I supposed to know what to do next? We came here…you see the map? That's exactly the place the X has moved to, what can I say, I do not know what we are supposed to do here. Maybe we need to gather some clues or something…'both her brows raised

'You are the pink rose and on the letter it said that you are the only one that can do it…' Anis mumbled.

'Well no! We are here to save your knight remember? So it is your responsibility as much as it is mine.' She nodded.

Anis sighed. 'Sorry for yelling at you.I know you're just trying to help me and I…I am just so worried, you know?' she looked at her feet.

'I see…Let's get to work!' she gave her friend a bright smile.

The white peddles crackled under their feet and the closer they got to the lake the crispier the breeze was becoming. The fog over the waters made impossible to spot anything in the horizon.

'I guess the lake has to do something with our quest…'Nefeli said

'Can I see the map?' Anis took the paper in her hands and looked at it silently… 'I think we are supposed to find someone to help us right…something!...' she bit her lower lip. The pinkette checked again the horizon and then the map. 'What does that little thing mean?' she pointed at a little word she spotted near the X .

'Luna…' Nefeli mumbled and frowned in thought. 'I don't know…it means moon…remember the code was lunae lumen…maybe its relevant'

'I don't know' she gave her friend the paper. 'But we really need to think of something…' Anis walked towards the waters and then kneeled to catch a peddle. She threw it away watching it vanish in the fog and heard the sound of it hitting the crystal waters. What is he doing right now? She thought to herself.

'And why are you doing all of this again?' the violet rose asked indifferently.

'Revenge…' Ella smiled sweetly.

'Do you really have to be so lovey dovey with him anyway?' He wrinkled his nose.

'My my my could it be that we are jealous?' she turned slowly to face him.

He didn;t answer her question though, he only averted his gaze as he licked his lips annoyed.

'Hmp…'

'You really need to understand that we have to stick to the plan.' She pouted.'Father said to do so…'

'And are you going to let him define you?'

'Well ,yes he is the reason i am alive for crying out loud…'she raised both her brows.

'What about the things I want …'he grasped her wrist.

'Not important really…and again I just follow the orders given to me..' she came closer, mere centimetres from his mouth.

'I don't like it when you're with him…' He frowned.

'Oh you can do pretty much nothing about that…' she mused.

'Maybe that's what you think…' he moved away.

'Don't be silly…'she twirled his ponytail. 'Now he would do anything for me… and I will surely take advantage of that' she giggled and left swiftly.

'I…I would too…'he clenched his fist

'Uughh!I can not do this any more!' Anis threw her hands in the air…

'Listen we will do as I say….' The blond girl calmly exclaimed.

'But we will be losing time don't you see?!' her voice getting louder.

'No we are not…It's just as I say we need to come back here at night…there's nothing we can do at day…the moon will help us find what we are looking for.'

'How do you know you could be wrong and we will be wasting some valuable time…?'

'Believe me, it will affect me more than you if we don't make it, so do as I freaking say…Work with me Anis, that's all I'm asking of!'

With her last word rain started falling upon them and the lake didin't seem like a giant mirror anymore.

'Great! Just great! Looks like even the weather is on your side…' Anis exhaled annoyed.

'I'm not the one to blame for the rain too! Nefeli raised her hands in a defensive state.

They both stood silent not looking each other in the only thing you could hear was the calming sound of water on water and the soft crackling of the pebbles as little waves were caressing them. One could really think it was music. Wait what? And not only that, someone was singing too! The two girls snapped their heads towards the place the sound was coming from and hurried to get there.

Anis was soaking wet but she didn't mind as the one singing could be the one to help them.

'Oh, hello…' disappointment washed through her.

'Hello.' The little boy turned to her. 'What are you doing in the rain? You might get cold silly!' his sweet voice didn't mach his scolding tone and that made Anis laugh.

'You little muffin…' she messed with his red hair.

'H-hey not the hair…never mess with my hair!' he stepped hard on his foot. 'Girls are stupid they always pinch mah cheeks and touch my hair!' he crossed his little arms.

Anis kneeled to look into his eyes…they were purple…No wonder he reminds me of a certain someone… 'What is your name little fellow?' she came to take a closer look at his subtly freckled face.

'W-what are you doing?' he got flustered right away.

'Awww !. You're adorable!' she hugged him.

'L-let go! I ll tell you ma name if you let me breathe I swear…'

Anis grasped that she had gone overboard when Nefeli coughed to clear her throat.

'My name is Mimosa…call me Mimo…' He shrugged.

'Why are you alone out here isn't there a grown up to keep an eye on you?' Nefeli asked.

'No…my parents are out of town…I'm all alone…' he pouted.

Nefeli ignored Anise's whines of affection and frowned suspicious.

'Hmph…'

'We are taking him with us I don't care what you say!' The pinkette grabbed the little boy.

'He is not a puppy his parents may be worried sick right now!'

'And should we just leave him here all alone?'

'Its called kidnapping!' Nefeli tried to talk some sense into her friend. 'I will not be a part of this…if you want take him to your house on foot.' She finally stated.

'Yeah but you will still know that I did it so that automatically makes you an abettor.'She said as she picked the kid up.

'Fine!'

'Fine!'

'She is such a jerk for letting us come back on foot!Outrageous i say!'Anis went on and on about Nefeli abandoning her at the lake when she was litterally dripping…She was holding Mimo's little hand in hers. What happend next didn't give her the chance to react. An all too familiar red head was walking her way with his hands stuffed in his pockets. He didn't even turn to look at her but his eyes fell on the little he was a few steps away he actually stopped to say something :

'You're soaking wet you'll get cold silly…' his feet and hands moved on their own as he took of his jacket and put it over her shoulders.

Surprised with himself he turned to leave fast. Why did he feel like he ought to protect this girl? Why did he do such a thing? Why do I feel like this…I…love someone else…why do i even care about that chick?I might be guilty for hurting her before…but i swear i dont know her…

A smile crept on her face as she was filled with hope.

'You might get cold silly…'
