bee's unwanted thoughts

snowfall

Bee felt her knees weaken when she saw them.

Hyacinth,with tears in their eyes and bloody, bruised knees.

Their limp and seemingly lifeless body hunched over against the wall.

Bee collapsed in front of Faint, and the world seemed to still for a moment.

The flashing red and blue lights seemed to echo just as loud as the sirens and the screams, and the gunfire.

For a second, the world went on mute, like a slowed song.

Bee took in a shaky breath, and a sob. Memories flashed in front of her, and she could hear concerned words from Faintshine.

She didn't care.

Bee pressed her head to Hyacinth's, and for a second, she could almost see their warm smile paint those now lifeless lips a shade that she called home.

An entire 10 years flashed before her eyes. An entirety of memories.

The Zoo. Where they first met. They were only six and seven, loud and boisterous. They didn't know the whole future they had ahead of them.

The Snake. The rubber toy snake they used to abuse when they were so little they could barely remember it now.

The Blue Moon. The night Halloween was a blue moon. They were a little bit older, a little bit more angry, a little bit more knowledgeable of the world around them.

The pretend games, and the nights they stayed awake talking for hours about things that sometimes didn't even make sense. The Demons they would summon, the love they shared for one another.

It was all gone.

The hourglass had tipped one last time before all of it's strange, shimmering beige sand flowed into the other half.

Because that was what they were. Two halves of one whole.

The waning and waxing moon.

Spring and Autumn.

The beginning, and the end.

The memories started to fade away like dying embers in Bee's head, replaced by a gentle humming of rage.

Faintshine shook Bee's shoulders.

It was time to go.
