Alone Together: A Rose Undying

And That's

Sissy in wolf form, turned, slightly bigger than Snowball. They looked at me signifying that somewhere one day when we're free they'll be looking for me. "Goodbye." seeps slowly from my lips as all rational thought fades from mind. They turn their backs to me, and they slowly fade away, the trees casting a looming shadow only made their leave all the more saddening. Like their future was going to be harsh, as they meander aimlessly in a forsaken darkness. "I'll find you one day I promise that everything will be fine, and we'll be free." I utter under my breath as I slowly make a depressed decent into a chair placed facing the field.

"Morning g..." Smisammi stopped mid-sentence and thought "Maybe they're with Z? Or they could be outside." with a smile. She walked toward the door, and grabbed the steely cold brass nob. "Girls!?" she cryed out with closed eyes, a gleeful look. "They aren't coming." I mumbled under my breath Smisammi turned. "What?" she questioned, the jubilant look in her face faded as confusion replaced it. "They are not coming back." I growled I hadn't been in the repeating myself mood. "Well where are they? If this is a joke this isn't funny! Where are my children?!" she roared anger engulfed her, her eyes began to glow dimly that shade of red unknown to me, it was beautiful and horrifying. "They wanted to be free so they ran into the woods in wolf form." I mumble as she lifts me by my shirt. "Honey, honey. Look at me!" she growls slapping my face freeing me from my stupor. My eyes focus on hers as she points to the woods where the girls had disappeared. "Honey are you awake can you hear me?" she snaps in my face "yeah? Ok good. They are 7 years old! What is wrong with you!? We don't know what could happen to them, or even what could happen to those who would try to help them. They can't control their powers remember. Oh my fucking god! Tell me where in any of this did you think 'hey letting my seven year olds run away is a good idea.'." I had enough i snapped "well maybe if you would stop yelling at me you could go look for them huh? Did you think of that or maybe even i don't know think of asking me why I'm letting my family leave me. I didn't want them to end up like us, teenagers raising kids. My head hurts from even thinking off letting them out of my sight. I did this for them so they could do better they are wolves. let them be wolves!" I roar in retaliation my eyes glowing clearly in the morning light. "..." Smisammi returned to the house not a word of reply. She just walked away.

"Uh I wanted to apologize for earlier, i know i was wrong and shouldn't have snapped at you like that." I say to Smisammi as she sits on the edge of the bed. "No i understand you now, like i understand where you're coming from." she replies. She seemed as if a light that had been burning in side her had been dimming, still there just not as bright.

A year passes I can't live in this house anymore every time I walk past their room I just get overwhelmed my emotions stronger than my will. I break down making a passing glance at the room, I start packing, throwing things around, and fall to my knees grabing my head from pain. I just walk to the front porch smisami staring at the field i drag my hand on the hand crafted wood banister. Sigh and leave taking Smisammi by the hand. "But... All of our..." I interrupt her by hushing her gently and pulling her into my arms. "But where are we going to go? No plans just leave is that what you're thinking?" she thinks confused as I spread the wings that had been folded for some time now. "You think we should stop by a motel or something?" I ask as I sore through the heavens. "Sure just..." she yawns mid-sentence. "..." she falls asleep, and relaxes her vibrant red hair flowing freely. I take her home smile and rub her head. When I turn to leave she grabs my hand "where are you going?" she mumbles through the shroud of sleep. "Over to the f..." she tugs on my hand as she rolls over I lay next to her and we sleep.

"Teenagers you can't find any other pass time?" asked a familiar voice. I lay still smisami still asleep I condense my smoke under the blankets pretending to still be asleep. The distinct sound of a sword cutting air startled me, so I fling the cover and the air in the room is polluted with smoke. Coughing and chocking fill the room, Smisammi awoken by me throwing off the blanket springs to life. "Damn teenagers." the voice mumbles. "Smisammi get down." I think as I close my glowing eyes. Smisammi lowers herself. I can feel him shufling around quietly in the smoke. The vibrations of slight movements tip me off. I condense the smoke around his wrist, bind them, and make them weigh as much as a ton. He gurnts sharply and groans ok you got me. I absorb the smoke and leave him on his knees. "Principle Payne?" I ask as I take a knee in front of him. "Yes? Can I stand, I'm here to talk to you about the small town of humans you know the half dead community? The one you whipped out." said Payne.
