Revenge of the Past

New and Old Faces

Addie's POV

"I missed you too girl!" I was in my home playing with Ivy by rubbing her stomach as her foot kicked in the air while she was on her back on the floor when I heard a knock on my door

"I'll be right back." I assured Ivy as I got up to answer the door. On the other side of the door was Aspen accompanied by two girls I had hadn't seen around Beacontown before.

One girl had light skin, purple hair, blue eyes, and wore a long jacket over a shirt and a skirt with boots.

The other girl had brown eyes and hair, was wearing a pink shirt with a blue skirt, light blue sneakers, a pink bow in her hair that had a pink highlight and a bracelet with a butterfly charm on it.

"Hey Aspen, who're these two?" I greeted the girls with a small handwave.

"This is Lily and that is Lily Rose." Aspen introduced the two girls

"So there are now two Lily's and two Rose's in Beacontown? Cool." I thought out loud.

"We're your new neighbors!" Lily Rose told me perkily and gave me a bone-crushing hug out of nowhere.

"Well, technically, we've been living here for almost two weeks already, but you weren't here." Lily added factually as Lily Rose released me from her hug.

"Yeah, I live on your right and Lily here lives on your left."

"Well, it's nice to finally introduce myself to you two, I'm Addie." I was about to give them a handshake when Ivy started barking behind me and wriggled through my legs to stand in front of me in a protective stance.

"Aww! You have a dog and her flower crown is so cute!" Lily Rose kneeled and held out her hand for Ivy to sniff. After she got used to her, Ivy barked happily and ran around her in circles as Lily and Lily Rose started to pet her gently.

"Phew... Sorry about that, Ivy can be a little protective of me even before I left for so long." I told the girls as Ivy settled down by my feet, whining for me to pet her so I did.

"Well, I'm glad you guys got to meet each other, but I got to go, I need to walk the colts out to the meadow to graze for a little while." Aspen told us and she started climbing the stairs that led down to the street.

"It was nice to finally meet you Addie, maybe we could hang out sometime?" Lily asked me and I responded with a smile and a thumbs up.

"Bye Addie bye little Ivy!" Lily Rose waved vigorously to me and Ivy as they started down the stairs as well.

"That was fun," I smiled to myself as I closed the door to my house and made my way over to my desk that was exactly how I left it almost a year ago and my smile started to fade, "I guess a lot really did change while I was gone for only a year..." I sat down and put my hands on the sides of my face, taking the hand that had the bracelet on it away so I could look at it.

"Is this really how eternity is going to feel? Watching everything and everyone around me change while I just... stay the same..." I saw my highlight turn blue with my emotions.

Believe me, these past 1000 years were not enjoyable for me either...

I heard Melaferrum's voice in my head, remembering how she spent almost 1000 years "asleep" inside my bracelet.

"Now's not a good time Mel..." I thought internally and I felt her presence leave as quickly as it had come.

I put my hands on my face, feeling bad about pushing Mel away, and moaned sadly when I felt a cold wet nose on my elbow. I put my hands down as Ivy looked at me with her big black eyes and whimpered a bit. Sighing, I pet her on the head and I got up saying,
