THE NEXT DAY; AFTERNOON

I was walking around for an hour now, searching for my sister, Inali, who'd said that she would be here and at this very spot. The park is next to a gigantic tree near the sign that says: Welcome to the Lumarian Park!

The park has blue-painted wooden benches scattered around, six drinking faucets, a medium-sized playground to my left, and enormous, luscious trees. The playground consists of double-swing-set, teeter-totty, monkey bars, and sand that covers the floor.

I glance in the direction of the pitter-patter of the faint footsteps on the smooth earth; it’s Inali, bringing someone else with her. Someone I don’t recognize immediately.

"Hey Nyu, we’re here!" Inali shouts, dashing towards me while hand-in-hand with Amethyst trailing behind her, our best friend since third grade. Her violet hair flows in the breeze, along with Inali’s, as her’s is a deep maroon that is cropped.

Both girls run up to my side, though Inali is always cold and distant, and Amethyst is as optimistic and carefree as I am.

“Why don’t you j-,” she starts again, but I slap my left hand onto my mouth to prevent her from carrying on, almost tripping over my dainty feet to do so. A closed eye smile suits it. They both have puzzled looks plastered onto their fragile faces.  Amethyst shrugs it off, though Inali becomes concerned. I shoot daggers at Amethyst with my eyes and trudge away in the opposite direction while my fists are clenched lightly.

“Nyu… She didn’t me-, “ Inali clarifies, trying to pacify me, despite the fact that we don’t listen.

“Buzz off!” she and I snarl over our shoulder, my medium-length pink hair fluffed up and my eyes fueled with rage. I realize that Inali is shocked with her tiny cyan eyes vibrating violently.

Amethyst exhales with little composure, as to control her uprising attitude. “Look, I’m sorry Nyu. It’s just tha-,” she starts.

“LEAVE ME ALONE!” she screeches up-close-and-personal, taking over MY body like she is venom coursing through my veins.

(((QUICK AUTHOR’S NOTE – Italics is thoughts while within –random words-. *random words* is ‘she’ and the other words are Nyu.)))

-What is wrong with you?!

*ME? What is wrong with you? You’re the one who is staying with these bakas!*

How dare you!

*How dare I? Shame on you…*

SHUT UP!

*Never!*

YOU are the one who started this, YOU are the one who is always doing this, and YOU shall stop this RIGHT NOW, SISTER!-

I strut towards the rest of the way home alone, burning tears clouding my line of sight. I don’t even look at the surroundings, although they seem vaguely familiar. I stop and collapse on a wooden bench lethargically, eerie written all along this place.

-*Why did you run, dearie?*

I didn’t you fool…

*FOOL?!*

Yes, fool. You were foolish to even to utter those words. You’re lucky that you are in MY body; otherwise, you’d be dead.

*YOU ARE THE ONE WHO IS FOOLISH! I’m just doing what I’m here for, to turn you to insanity.*-

“Just… Just go away, I’m tired…” I demand my voice scarcely audible.

“This will not suffice!” she roars. I swipe my left hand to silence her to no avail.

“Just be quiet…” I whispered, virtually to dreamland. I gradually slide shut my eyes, she rejected it, but then again, I just don’t care. She pokes me on the cheek and I roll over, lying on her arm.

She continues to pester me and I just ignore it, eventually falling asleep.
