Burst of creativity.

---------------

I can do this.

The though ran through her head repeatedly, as she stared straight ahead at the large double doors. Again, and again she had to stop herself from moving around uncomfortable on her seat. The elaborate ivory and jade gown not exactly her choice of clothing. Pale sun kissed tresses were curled and held in place by the silver circlet settled above her brow. The room was silent, it could be heard each breath a person drew. Everyone movement echoing in the high ceiling.

I don't want to be here.

She thought for the hundredth time that day. Finally the doors began to draw open. In a second her eyes moved to the tall man sitting on an ornate chair above her. His pale blue eyes staring ahead. For a moment he looked at her, their eyes met and he grinned. But only for a second and his mask once more fell over his features. Her's to was put into place as a young man strode boldly down the carpet accompanied by an older pair. The ice cold mask, that had driven off many a suitor was covering her facade. It was her shield, her protection against the world, and she wore it beautifully.

-------------

Hm.. that's not the only one.

-------------

Cloud boiled over head, threatening to send down the crystalline tears any moment. Wind harshly ripped at the many trees that grew around the small houses. Water in a nearby pond flew at the shores. Mercilessly beating upon the earth with determination. A dirt road wound it's way through the small village, but no one dared be out on this night. Not man nor beast with any sense would trek through the impending fury. Save for one. A petite woman, of blue eyes and pale blonde hair strode calmly through the forest. Tresses whipped angrily about by the hideous gales. Soon the droplets began to fall the rhythm pounding harshly into the ground, and onto her body. Her face turned upward, staring at the ink stained heavens. Then forcing her light orbs down to focus on the path ahead. A pale scar, star shaped, on her forehead seemed to stand out against the swirling chaos. She came to a small house, a shack more like. And straining opened the door. She walked in, casting a ragged cloak upon a bed in the next room. Then turned looking upon her features in a mirror hung above a small dresser. For long minutes she stared at the unfamiliar features staring back at her. A lone tear streaking down her ivory cheeks. In a flash of lightning her fist slammed into the image. Knees buckled as she sank to the ground, sobs racking her body. Hands lifted covering her face, blood dripping to the floor.

-------------

Whoo for the boredness. I just had to get that out.

Damn. My creativity level = 0 but I am going to try.


The blood began to dry on the hardwood floor of the small home. Finally she began to rise, muscles screamed in protest stiff from kneeling. Pale fingers reached up to brush away the sun bleached hairs that fell into her azure orbs. Stumbling she took a step forward, hand reaching out to grasp the end of the dresser. The shattered glass lay about the bureau and the floor. She stepped carefully around the pieces towards the door, not bothering to grab the ragged cloak as she went. She went to the small room that served as a kitchen and den. A small fire was soon burning in the corner of the room, in the cast iron stove. Setting a kettle on to make tea she moved to sit in one of the three rickety chairs. Leaning back she closed her eyes, past images playing through her mind. Clouds sweeping past her, the glow of the warm sun beating down her face as she quickly flew. Hearing the whistle she leapt up pulling the pot off the burner and setting it on a small table. She poured it out, waiting only a few moments for it to cool before gulping it down. Grabbing a roll she headed out the door once more.

The storm had subsided but dark forms still hung low in the heavens. Threatening any moment to once more dump water down upon the figures below. A few had emerged, and moved about the village. Her path once more began to wind towards the woods. She stopped though hearing her human name called out.

"Mira! Wait! Where are you going?"

A dark haired set of twins were running towards her. The boy taller then his sister, and faster soon caught up. He grinned looking back for his sibling.

"Come on Jessie"

He called out teasingly to her. When she to caught up she pulled back punching him lightly in the arm a scowl marring her pretty features. The small blonde glared at them both, and they looked pleadingly at her.

"Please Mira, me and Alex won't bother you. Honest!"

The female pleaded looking with sad eyes at the pale-skinned belle. Finally with a nod she moved back in the direction of the woods, an exasperated sigh escaping her. She had to find the clearing, and besides if needed she could lose them in the forest. She set a quick walk that they easily kept pace with. Chattering along as they trailed after her.
