Pineccone

The trees leaf.

To the tiny, intricate wonders that fall from above, scattering magic and memories in their wake.

"Eliza can you get me my corset please?!" I shout for my maid. Eliza knocks on the door and then places it on the side on my bed "Here you are ma'am" she says as her tanned hair falls down her shoulder "could you help me with the corset please?" I ask of my maid, Eliza walks over to where I stand next to my nightstand to help me adjust the corset "Thank you, now would you be a dear and featch my mother for me" I do a weak smile due to the corset being to tight around my torso. "Yes my lady" She bows her head and then takes her leave "What do you say you skip this ball?" I hear someone say from my near my window "Archie?" I question hoping its him "Yes, pinnccone?" I feel a shock of relief knowing its archie and not my future fiance "I thought you were Liam, sorry" I shuffled towards him soon as cant move in this dress "Today i have to meet Liams family" I rolls my eyes at the thought of Him and his inhuman family "Did you know that the main function of a pine cone is to keep a pine tree's seeds safe?" Archie says as he picks up the half eaten apple on my study desk "no I infact didnt know that. whats wrong?" I ask him him worried "what do y-" I cut him off "you only speak a fact when your bothered, so tell me whats wrong?" Silence. Very long awkward silence "ARCHIE!" I shout at him in a worried tone "tell me whats wrong" I press my hand to his left check "Indy is sick"
