She looked beautiful in the moonlight. She really did. Her thick brown hair blew in the soft wind and her blue eyes poured onto Virana.
"Cara?"
"Yes?"
"Do you trust me?"
Cara inhaled. "Yes. Yes I do."
Virana smiled and held out her hand for Cara to take.
Cara happily grabbed Virana's hand and let her guide her to where they were headed.
Once they reached the very top of fang's tallest building, Cara gasped.
The view was so gorgeous. Almost all of Kumandra seemed visible or within sight.
"Wow. This is-"
"Beautiful isn't it?" Virana cut Cara off.
"Yes! Of course." Cara smiled and looked at Virana.
After a few seconds of staring at one another, Virana spoke.
"I'm sorry but..." Virana looked away.
"What?"
"I think I found something more beautiful than this view, but sadly, you won't be able to see it."
Cara frowned.
"Unless..." Virana smirked.
Cara's eyes lit up.
"If you look into a mirror, you'll see it." Virana whispered in a charming voice.
Cara blushed madly and covered her face in her sleeves. "V! Stooop!"
Virana laughed and pulled Cara in for a hug.
After hugging for a few seconds, Cara looked up and Virana.
Virana blushed as she looked down at Cara.
Cara smirked before closing her eyes and soft pressing her lips against Virana's.
The two lovers felt their hearts set alight. A spark formed inside of them. A spark stronger than any other force in the world.
As their lips rubbed against one another and little pecking sounds filled the air's silence, Virana slightly tightened her grip around Cara's waist.
Their kiss was not sexual or seductive, instead it was extremely romantic. It was a signal to show one another their love and affection. It wasn't to show sexual attraction or anything of that sort. It was to show their love.
A love that would only continue to grow.
After slowly retracting from one another, Virana and Cara giggled and blushed.
"I love you, V." Cara whispered as she leaned her head on Virana's chest.
"I love you too, Cara, more than anything." Virana smiled and kissed Cara's head.
Cara smiled and closed her eyes. She felt so safe with Virana. She always was confident in the fact that Virana would protect her no matter what happened.
Virana gently rubbed her hands against Cara's waist, just how she liked it. Cara smiled and felt her body internally explode with happiness.
************************************
Virana woke up screaming. Her heart pounded out of her chest.
"CARA!!" Virana screamed as loud as she possibly could. Nobody could hear her through the thickness of the walls and the space inbetween them.
She grabbed her head and smashed it against her knees.
"Cara, please. Please come back home." Virana whimpered as she rolled off her bed and onto the hard floor.
Her head hit the tile with a loud crack and she fell into an seemingly endless abyss.
*************************************
Namaari woke up from her bed in a rather quiet manner. She got up and looked around to see Raya.
Raya was perfectly fine though. She was sleeping soundly underneath her blanket.
Namaari smiled but felt something inside her feel uneasy. She got up from bed, put some clothes on, and hopped on her well rested Serlot.
Once she quietly got into Fang, she made her way up to her mother's
bedroom.
"Mother?"
No response.
"Mom? Are you in here? You ok?"
She finally heard a groan of agony.
"Mother?" Namaari walked around to the side of the bed to see her mother, half conscious.
Namaari felt her heart drop. She ran over to her mother and helped her up.
"Mom? Mom!?" Namaari started breathing heavily. She picked her mother up and set her on her bed.
"Mom?? Are you ok?"
Virana groaned and slowly opened her eyes. "N-Namaari?"
"Mother!" Namaari said. "oh thank the dragons." Namaari hugged her mother so tightly.
"Namaari? Why are you here?"
"You worry me." Namaari said.
"Don't worry about me, love."
"Mom, no. I worry." Namaari inhaled deeply.
"Stop worrying. You shouldn't be worried about me, I'm alright. I swear." Virana smiled. "Now hurry on home, Raya will be wondering where you went."
"No! I'm not leaving you. You really are scaring me." Namaari leaned closer to her mother.
"Mother, please tell me what is wrong." Namaari rested her head on her mother's shoulder. Virana held her daughter closely and leaned back on the bed.
Namaari started to cry and Virana leaned back on the bed, letting her daughter lay on her.
"Mommy, please." Namaari whispered. "I can't loose you. I love you."
"You won't loose me, dear." Virana kissed her daughters head.
Namaari continued to quietly sob in her mother's arms until she felt completely embarrassed and got up suddenly.
"Namaari, what's wrong?" Virana asked.
"Nothing." She wiped her tears and sniffled.
Virana got up from her bed and inhaled. She smiled and held her daughters face. She brushed her hair with her fingers. "You are so beautiful."
"Thanks mom." Namaari said. "I better get going back to Raya now. Please be careful. I'll go get General Atitāya to help."
Virana sighed and looked at the ground.
"Mom."
"Hm." Virana said very quietly.
"You know things are not going as planned with you. You need help. Maybe therapy?"
"NO!" Virana scolded her daughter.
Namaari was taken back by the sudden change of tone.
"No." Virana calmed down.
Namaari huffed and rolled her eyes. She clicked her tongue to herself a few times and then stormed out of Fang and back to her home.
Virana sighed when she left and sat on the cold floor. She started crying even more. She was ruining her relationships with everyone. She couldn't bare the burden any longer.
