Midnight Starlight

Chapter 1 Part 1: The Lie

(This is when Bow and Ray were just friends)

(Bow's POV)

I put on headphones as I felt a cold breeze behind me. I shivered... I never liked the cold anyways, it reminded me of a feeling... That's never in my mind. It was always the same. Losing friends, all because I was foolish... All because I was trying to help. I didn't know how they bothered to deal with me at first. I didn't understand why I keep failing to do something right. It was always me to blame. There's no way to go back and fix all of those mistakes. I've learned from them, but yet... I always repeat them in some way... Sometime I wonder if it's even worth it to try to help anyone else. I have terrible luck, so it's not worth the risk. I just keep lying to everyone, and to myself... And that lie is this: "I'm fine." Truly, I'm not. I only say it so no one would worry. Maybe no one would be worried about me if I told the truth anyways. They'll still think that it's a lie. No one seems to think I'm there either. Being treated like a ghost. One thing I don't get is, why am I still alive...?

     (Eternal's POV)

It was colder than usual, but I didn't mind. I saw Bow nearby. All I knew is that my best friend's brother, Ray really likes her. Even though I've never meet her, I could tell because Ray told me what she looks like. Short black and tan fur, left eye covered. "Oh... Hi Eternal." I heard Ray say near me. "Yo Ray, and is that Bow over there?" I asked him while slightly pointing to her. "Yea, that's her." Ray said shyly. I guess the thought of her got him nervous. I heard Bow singing, but I couldn't understand what she was singing. I looked at Ray. "Aren't you going to talk to her? You are friends with her after all." I suggested. Plus, she seemed lonely. "I-I don't know if she wants to talk to me..." Ray said as he looked down. "It seems like she's lonely, I think she won't mind." I said while smiling a bit. I looked up at Bow, she was looking at me and Ray. "...Plus, she just saw us..." I added. "Ok... I'll try to talk to her... Even though I have no confidence to..." Ray mumbled shyly. "Don't be shy. I know you can. She's friends with you, so you know that she cares in some way." I said, trying to make him more confident.
