JOURNEYOFLOVE

By Georgia Dick '29

“Onwards!'' I yell as I pull my sword from its scabbard. This is the moment I face my nemesis. I look into his dark blue eyes and see the past memories of us as kids How, when we used to play games in the castle garden he would tug my braids and call me names, but we had a bond, a friendship if you will But those times have passed and he betrayed me in the worst way. I can never forgive him. I quickly snap back to reality and notice that my blade is at his neck. This is it, it's time I end this. I see his lips tremble. “Please” he whispers.

Before I can react his frown goes to a smirk and kicks my sword out of my hands It goes up into the air and he catches it.

“I think I'll keep this as a souvenir.”

“Be my guest, Thomas”

“Why thank you, Violet ”

He sarcastically blows me a kiss I groan in disgust But a strange feeling crosses over my stomach Hmm, I think nothing of it.

But as night falls, the animals fall asleep, and as the moon has its fun, I think more about it. That was probably just my lunch But all I had was something light As I think, my eyelids slowly start to close and I fall asleep But the question still dangles over my head
