My One and Only Friend

Part 2

12 years ago

The Little Sora continued to walk towards her intended destination, the dinky school that she dreaded. Her dress now had dirt on the knees, her hair was no longer orderly and her knees were scraped from the fall. The closer she got the more she was filled with uneasiness. Everyone there either bullied her or was afraid of her. Due to this Sora had no friends. Well she did have one, a blue dragon named Lunus. He lived in the woods that were behind the school and surrounded the town. Everyone said he didn't exist, but Sora knew first hand that he did. He helped her cope with the eerie loneliness that killed her everyday. He always came when she needed him most. Sora carefully took a different path than everyone else that headed into the woods behind the school. Her fingertips barely skimming the bark of trees. Today Lunus was half-asleep curled up in the middle of a clearing. The little girl didn't care if he was asleep.

"Lunus!" Sora yelled and wrapped her tiny arms around the dragon's neck.

"There, there. What is it?" Lunus yawned his deep voice rough. Sora nuzzled her tear streaked face into his dark blue colored scales.

"No-thing. I'm just happy to see you."

"Mhmm, really." Lunus detected a lie. His large body shifted and he tapped one of his ivory claws on her blindfold.

"Does it have something to do with this?" He asked. Sora bowed her head. Lunus sighed.

"Treasure your gift child. Many are not as fortunate as you to be able to have this type of magic."

The word 'fortunate hanged in young Sora's mind.

'What about this situation seemed fortunate? Having to cover your eyes and be blind, having everyone hate you? I am hardly fortunate.' Sora thought.

"You are the strongest willed little girl I have met. You're amazing, don't let anyone tell you otherwise." Lunus said kindly. Warmth spread through the girl's heart, Sora smiled tears dripping down her tiny face.

"Thank you." Sora whispered into his scales. Lunus was the best one and only friend.
