@Uh.Yeah.I.Sure.HOPE.It.Does!
Amber heard Kira's childish scream and turned, instantly rushing to her side. "Kira! What's wrong?"
Amber heard Kira's childish scream and turned, instantly rushing to her side. "Kira! What's wrong?"
"I left! I just left! Nobody knows where I am! Heck, I didn't even tell Molly! Nobody knows where I am! I just left! What am I even doing here? Why did I even come? I just left! I didn't say goodbye to Molly! Molly, Molly, Molly, Molly, Molly. No. No. No. No…" Kira couldn't stop shaking. Everyone was up now, staring at her. "But I left Molly."
Amber looked around as everyone sat up, rubbing their eyes. "Everything's fine guys." She said to the others. Then whispered to Kira, "If you want, I can take you back right now. If you want to keep doing this we can go back and leave a note then come back here. But just quiet down."
"No, no, it's fine, it's just…" Kira trailed off and stared into space. "Molly doesn't know." She couldn't stop shaking, even as she laid down, even as Amber tried desperately to calm her, Kira just couldn't.
Amber stood. "Kira come with me." Amber lifted Kira on to Duchess and hopped on behind her. "We're going to go for a little ride. It helps calm me down."
"Okay." Kira felt herself being lifted onto a horse. She didn't feel anything, just shaking. She was nervous. She was scared.
Amber shot Kira a sympathetic look. She knew it probably wasn't the same but she remembered the first time she went off in the night on an adventure. "It's gonna be alright. We'll get you back by dawn I promise." Rode around slowly and stopped every now and then for Amber to show Kira the constellations.
Silver. The starts were silver. Black. Velvet. The sky. Blurry. Everything else. Riding on a horse was fun, and after a few stops to look at the stars, Kira was back to normal. But Molly… No. Molly doesn't know. So what. You're above that. You're the princess. You don't worry about simple maids. But Molly… Silver. The stars were silver.
Amber stopped one last time. "Kira. No matter what happens the stars are constant. No matter how much your life changes, the stars won't. If you ever feel like the world is changing constantly, look at the stars. Focus on them. Nothing else matters at the moment."
(shoot. that's deep.)
(lol. I feel like our characters have more in common then they think and I really wanted to bring that out)
But, Molly matters… Silver. The stars- Molly doesn't know… The stars are- Molly "Lets head back to camp." Molly. No.
"Sure. Sounds fine to me. I'll wake you up before the dawn so you can get to the castle in time."
(I feel like Amber would try really hard to bring out their similarities, but Kira would just be like "No. Go away. Leave me alone.")
"We don't need to go to the castle. I'm fine. Really."
(I totally agree)
"Well, we're all going home at dawn so if you aren't I don't know what you're going to do." Amber turns duchess around and they ride back to camp.
"Then why did we even come here? What's the point of going on an awesome quest if we aren't actually going anywhere?"
"You don't always need to have a destination. I just wanted to show what's like actually protecting people."
"No, no, no, no, no. That's not what type of quest this was. We were supposed to go somewhere with meaning, save the world, and save a bunch of people's lives, and- and- just, not," Kira looked around at the people sleeping. "This. Plus, we didn't 'protect' anyone."
Amber shook her head and sat down. Tears welled up in her eyes and she blinked them away rapidly. "I'm so sorry. I probably ruined your life and your friendships. It's my fault. I forced these guys to come along."
"What? Why are you crying? You didn't do anything. Besides, you didn't 'force' anyone to do anything. These people came here of their own free will. If they didn't want to be here, they would already be long gone."
Amber hiccups slightly and rubs her eyes. "Really? You said so yourself it was nothing like you expected. Why are you still here anyway?"
"I am still here because it's too late to turn back now. I originally came because I didn't know what to do. You caught me by surprise. You wanted me to come, so I came." With that, Kira laid back down on her half of the clearing and went to sleep.
(I have to go to bed bye)
(goodnight)
