Tiger lily

Hope

It's been a month in this strange new land. Trying to go on has been fairly easy. We still had some money left from the precious pearl. But going on in this foreign world was not nearly the problem. It was finding Peter. Tiger lily had so much hope at first but now I see her wearing away a little everyday. Every night I would hear her speaking to the ceiling or maybe it was to me about Peter. Her poor heart smashed to pieces crying herself to sleep. I felt terrible and I wish there was something I could do. The next day we were walking in the park. There was many people especially in this time of day. I was observing all around until something caught my eye and didn't let go. I saw a boy. He was fairly tall and had sandy blonde hair. If it wasn't for his attire I would of known it sooner but I wouldn't miss that look anywhere. Yes it was Peter. My heart practically leaped out of my chest and my wings flapped all around. I turned to Tiger lily who clearly didn't notice because she had the same guarded expression. I tried to get her attention. I pulled on her hair and got in her face but she would just dismiss me. But then finally he was headed in our direction. He glanced in our direction and didn't believe it at first but then he let his gaze lock there and froze. And as if by fate she saw him and did the same. I could hear her thought swirling around. And her heart practically stopped. She froze into place. Slowly he was walking towards us. Walking and walking. The seconds pulling longer as if time had completely stopped. But those seconds meant everything. Finally he reached us. He stopped and stared at her as if he were dreaming. "Tiger lily?" He uttered. She struggled to find her voice and how to speak again. Finally the name was pulled out of her mouth. "Peter?"
