Description
A young boy was walking the run down streets of a long lost city. It's inhabitants were dirty and cruel, the building nearly demolished, and the sky red with blood. He kicked a few loose pieces of gravel that rested in his path, and headed towards a park. All the trees were dead. Their branches, like him, were thin and fragile seeming. His hands were shoved into his pockets, and his eyes, a soft shade of brown, looked at the ground. He stopped at the foot of tree, and leaned against it. There was turmoil, and sadness everywhere.
His mother gone, his father close enough. He was lonely, and yet knew that he couldn't leave. As much as he felt he had no reason to keep trying, he knew he couldn't give up. His eyes scanned the area to see Hell. The Hell he had known for almost sixteen years, had never looked darker. As his eyes closed, he slid down to sleep beneath the bleak tree. Off he went to escape the demons, and try to find magic in this dark world.
When his eyes fluttered open he saw a beautiful orchard of cherry blossom trees and the lushest, greenest, grass. The sky was as crystal blue, and the sun warm, and welcoming. He laughed, and cried at the joyous view, and then suddenly...he stopped. That feeling of lonelyness came back. He had finally found beauty and, there was no one to share it with! He then heard a soft voice, singing a sweet tune in the distance. No words, just a soft humming.
He followed that voice to a clearing. A small creek was passing by, and swimming in its water was the msot beautiful thing he had ever seen. She was a petite girl. The size of probably an elf, and a curvacious frame. Her hair was a crimson red, and her voice angelic. EH was so entranced, he didn't realize he was headed closer and closer to the creek, until, "Ooof!! SPLASH!" The girl jumped back, and the boy fell into the clear water.
"I'm so sorry! Ow..."The girl helped the boy up as he apologized and rubbed his head, "My name is Hiro. What's yours?" He held out his hand and the girl cocked her head to the side. She took his hand and shook it firmly.
"My name is Ann. What are you doing here...Hiro?" She watched intrigued as he took off his shirt to wring it out. He sat on arock to put it back on, and she took it from him. He watched her with his eyebrow raised as he answered.
"I uh...I needed to get away. I guess...well I guess that's what brought me here! What are you doing with my shirt?" Ann placed her delicate hand on the shirt, and a blue light engulfed the green fabric. It was instantly dried, and slightly warm when she gave it back to Hiro.
"I was drying it for you! Well, let me show you around! Come on!" With that she took Hiro's hand, and lead him around. She showed him things he had never seen before. She showed him how beautfiul the stars can look when you're far from the city, showed him what it felt like to lie on the grass without a care in the world. She showed him what it was like to pretend, and how to believe in magic. She helped him discover the magic in himself, and tried desperately to show him what an amazing guy he was.
That was the hardest part, for Ann could never tell if he really believed her. She wished so badly that it did, cause it was true. They watched the sunset, and picked flowers. They talked about which flowers they found the best, which colors were their favorites, what they liked to do, what they didn't. He loved to write comics, she loved to draw. They spent the rest of the afternoon being creative. Him writing stories about her, she asking him to pose. Being each others muse, by JUST being themselves...cause, they realized, that's all they needed each other to be.
Hiro's head was in Ann's lap, and she tangeled her fingers in his hair, looking down at him lovingly as the sun went down. The sky painted the water in it's beautiful pinks, blues, and purples. The birds, and faeries sung songs, and the fireflies began their night of fun. Hiro realized it was getting late, and he looked out onto the view.
"Ann, soon I will awake..."
"Yes,"
"And you will be gone..."
"Yes Hiro, I will be."
"I don't want to lose you. I can't lose you. Why must I let you go? Why Ann?!" his eyes welled up with tears of anger and sadness as he looked up into her blue-grey eyes.
"Hiro," She smiled softly, and her eyes to welled up with tears, "If you believe hard enough, and long enough, that will be together again...then it will be..."
"But it might take forever!"
"Real love is forever, my dear Hiro..." She placed her hand on his cheek, and his tears dried, but the feeling inside him didn't.
"But even if it does work, even if we are together again...I don't want it to ever end!" He shot up to be face to face with her.
"It won't end Hiro, it won't..." With that she kissed him one last time, softly on the lips. With the promise of her love, and the hope in his heart, Hiro woke up. Now the Hell had Heaven's light, and he smiled...
"I believe....and I will see you again..."
