Ominis - New Years Eve
"3...2...1... HAPPY NEW YEAR!" The great hall filled with loud bangs and screams from the students who stayed for the holidays. Sebastian and I embraced in a long hug, unknowing of what this new year would bring.
There was a bit of sorrow in the hug. It's been a week since he's seen Ariel. It's the same reaction as an owner left their puppy behind. Both Poppy and Natty have been out with her, but they were very quiet on where they went. Sebastian wished to start the new year with her, and I completely understood.
I heard the sounds of students kissing and giggling after. I couldn't help but feel jealous over the students so in love and infatuated with one another, that the first thing that wanted to do at the start of a new chapter was kiss their person.
I wanted to start the new year the same way.
Ominis - Feldcroft, New Years Eve 1886
The little village was hustling and bustling with celebration. Christmas, the Sallow twins' 12th birthday, and now a start into the new year. A new chapter of life.
My family never celebrated the holiday. They called it "rubbish" or a "waste of time."
Not Feldcroft.
To the villagers, the new year was a fresh start, an ambition to be better than they were the year before. To start over with the people you cherish, or new friends.
That was what my new year was about. New friends. New chances. A new family.
We were seconds away from midnight when Anne and Sebastian ran over to grab me. Both dragging me over to the big crowd, all coming together to celebrate the new year together.
"3...2...1... HAPPY NEW YEAR!" Everyone screamed, I could feel the streamers go everywhere, loud booms from fireworks going off. My face started to get sore from how big my smile was.
Sebastian grabbed me in an embrace. Tight. Brotherly.
"Happy New Year, mate. Glad you were able to spend it with us."
"Me too, Sebastian, me too."
He walked away to greet other people for the new year, when a delicate hand grabbed onto mine and pulled me into an embrace.
"Happy New Year, Omi!" She pulled me in slightly, kissing my cheek, before walking away into the crowd.
Just when I thought my face hurt bad enough, my smile grew even wider.
Anne - New Years Eve
"3...2...1... happy new year" I whispered to the wind, resting my chin on the edge of the windowsill. The now January air whisked itself across my face, a kiss from nature letting me know it's going to be ok.
The night was much quieter this year in Feldcroft. Even last year was a normal celebration, despite my lack of attending. I could still hear and see all the fireworks and joy from my window. Ominis and Sebastian sat on my bed with me last year, inside from all the excitement. Even freshly cursed, life was still normal.
I couldn't stand the silence. Solomon had already been fast asleep, so I snuck to the shed to grab my broom, and flew all over the highlands. I flew high and fast enough to avoid any sort of trouble.
