Cadance of Time

Chapter II

************************************************************************************************************************How do we come to be here next to each other
in the night
Where are the stars that show us to our love
inevitable
Outside the leaves flame usual in darkness
and the rain
falls cool and blessed on the holy flesh
the black men waiting on the corner for
a womanly mirage
I am amazed by peace
It is this possibility of you
asleep
and breathing in the quiet air

When we got to the party i saw liquor and the next minute i had it in my hands i don't know how. "Mal slow down we haven't even introduced ourselves yet" "Sorry" i drained the glass and put it on the nearest table Ecstasy started giggling "Are we still using those names we created in 6th grade"

"Hell no" Cadance said louder than needed but i wasn't paying much attention i was a nervous wreck so i looked around. I've never been to the forest square before there's weeping willows surrounding us with lights in them the wind making the leaves sway it's hard to see the sky but i really don't mind, Ecstasy wrapped her arm under mine knocking me out of my trance "Hey Cadance he looks like your type" Ecstasy always knew how make me smile because Cadance's ears turned an odd color of pink, her cat like eyes huge as, the guys started walking over to us. Cadance didn't take her eyes off of the guy staring her "Cadance are you Ok" she looked at me "Ya i'm fine" the boys came "Hi my name is Ari" Ari pointed to his friends " this is Blake and Demon" I looked at Blake and Damon. Damon was looking at me and giving me a cute side smile, Blake was staring at Ecstasy and Ari at Cadance. "What's your name" i give the cute guy in front of me a slight smile and look him up and down "Sorry i don't tell strangers my name" "Would you like to dance" he said loud enough for Cadance to give me an evil smirk and Ecstasy to say "Don't mind us go have fun, i certainly will" i almost laughed but this whole situation seems too cliche. "Enjoy the moment whiles it last" Cadance says in my ear, i take Damon's hand and listen to the music.

"1,2,3 ,1,2,3 ,1,2,3 ,12,3 stop, stop, stop" My ballet teacher Miss Rewan said "but i danced it just how you told me to" Miss Rewan raised her hand and slapped me in the face "Again". "The performance is tomorrow you are Clara not Maleficent, you are to be perfect".

...

"Maleficent what's that mark on your face" my hand quickly went to my face a bruise had formed from where Miss Rewan had hit me multiple times last night "Nothing, can you cover it please" i said to my makeup artist."It's time for the show to start" I got up and went on stage "places everybody" The music started and my feet danced perfectly. As i danced perfectly each step i cursed myself, everyone was so quiet the only voice i heard in that minute was Miss Rewan's voice "You're never going to get accepted into the dance academy. Your such a screw up even if you payed they wouldn't want you. That's why you're real parents gave you away, too bad your parents you have now wouldn't do the same. Now dance i want you to be as perfect as you can be for an orphan" the disgust in her voice mocks me in my dreams, but i still danced perfectly 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3. When i got of the stage i was met by a crowd of people cheering and clapping, then Miss Rewan i walked up to her, and in front of everybody i got slapped in the face 3 times "You're as big a screw up as your sister"she was going to do more but my makeup artist stopped her Miss Rewan turned around and tried to slap her but i stopped her "That's my sister. slap me fine, but when you try to hurt my sister..." i shook my head not bothering to finish, i couldn't even think about it "No" i took my hand and i slapped her once in the face, and ran away.My sister's name is Quinn and she was 16 , after the performance Quinn ran away and haven't been seen since.
