Life Eternal

The silence between them was dreadful, but Arabella felt too weak to speak. Sitting outside on the hill just near the trees, they looked up at the sky together. Arabella looked to Tobias and frowned.

"There are no stars out tonight." This caused him to chuckle after Arabella said it. Yet he avoided looking at her, after all, how could he?

"Someone once told me that stars were nothing more than balls of gas, that burn out, and die." He spoke softly and slowly almost as if he was recalling a faraway dream that he couldn't quite reach anymore. "Unrealistic dreams even."

Arabella remained silent and bit her lip, Pain surged through her as she chuckled sadly, For she knew how he felt, and couldn't seem to grasp the reality of things.

"Someone once told me that stars were a beacon of hope." She looked to Tobias. His eyes, which held dark circles contrasting his pale skin, met hers and softened. "Especially in the darkest times. Beautiful, Isn't it?"
