Her hand was icy cold as she led me astray.
I followed her pale, slim figure - lit only by the moonlight - further into the woods. She turned to face me quickly, making me jump. Her face was aglow, the etheral light bounced off of her high cheekbones and twinkled in her eyes. Nobody could compare to her. One smile from her rosy, plump lips sent shivers down my spine, goosebumps pickled on arms. And she knew, God,what she knew.
The sounds of the celebration drifted over to us and I thought back to the warmth of the fire we'd left behind but that didn't last very long. The only thought that remained in my head was this. Us.
Twigs snapped under our bare feet, our white, cotton dresses shifted in the breeze. All I was was this moment. Our escapade defined me in ways I could never imagine. I'd left my old self at the clearing; here, at the rendeveux, I had been reinvented.
She was looking at me now, her silvery eyes grazed over every inch of my body. I was hers - we both knew that - and I'd never be anything more. The sky above us glistened and twinkled, the stars sprinkled across it reminded me of her eyes, oh her eyes. I looked away from the secrets above us and turned my focus to her. But she was staring passed me... Slowly, she raised a shaking finger.
They'd found us.
The festival we'd left behind was that of the winter solstice. People gathered from all three courts - sun, moon and stars - and for one night a year they all put their differences behind them. Some of them, at least.
The differences between our courts are distinct. The similarities are hard to come by. A small part of me knew this day would come. We would never be lucky enough to keep 'us' a secret - whatever us is.
