Jinaro
Pining away in the darkness,
Wanted by no one she thinks,
Lonely and suffering from heartbreak,
She is not alone
Laurel rides away, her heart pounding. The men who killed her family are quickly approaching. Oh no.. I'll never make it off this tiny road! she thinks. Suddenly, she sees a small trail. In fact, it's almost too small to notice. Yanking her reigns to the side with crazy speed, she plunges down the path, and enters a wondrous moonlit city. It appears to be empty, so she dismounts, ties her horse to a tree, and saunters down the road. At first, she thinks it's a trick of the shadows, but as she approaches, she can see thin orange stripes, barely visible in the night's darkness. CRACK! She jumps, then realizes she has only stepped on a twig. Still, it's enough to scare to creature, and it scampers into the corner. Laurel climbs up on top of the structure, and whispers to the animal,
"Shh... it's okay, I won't hurt you."
The creature merely whimpers, and cries out, almost sounding human. But then, composing herself, she says
"I am Jinaro, and I am about to leave Vinara. What do you want with a heartbroken Faerre?"
"My name is Laurel, and I wish to help you. Why are you leaving Vinara, Jinaro?"
[color=#FF00FF]"My brother was found dead, by the creek, this morning. Being my only friend left in the world, I could not stand it. Without my twin, I have no one. That's how I found myself here, on the Altar, alone.[/color]"
"Wait, if you're a Faerre, and this is the Altar, then shouldn't there be people waiting to come befriend you?"
"Maybe for other Faerres, but not I. No one came. No one loves me. No one wants to be my friend." (at that point, Jinaro bursts into tears, leaving Laurel heartbroken.)
"Well, it seems like we are the same, Jinaro. My family was mudered, so I, too, have no one. Perhaps you would come with me?"
(Jinaro's ears perk up, but she still remains depressed.) "How do I know you wouldn't just abandon me? Everyone else would."
"Aw, you poor thing. Don't cry. Come here." (Laurel scoops up Jinaro, and sets her in her lap. Slowly, Jinaro starts to settle down. Stroking Jinaro's ears, Laurel continues.) "Listen, if you want someone to be your friend, you have to cheer up a little. Now I know, it's hard. Believe me, I've been through this too, but I think we need each other. Would you like some food? I don't have much, but I hope it helps." (Laurel removes a small package from her bag and unwraps it. Silently, she removes two apple slices and a block of cheese. Licking her lips, Jinaro stares at the food.)
"I bet you haven't eaten all day Jinaro, now I tell you what. Come with me, and you can tell me all about this brother of yours and about your life here in Vinara."
"Oh that's sounds great!"
Jinaro is finally cheering up. Her tail is wagging, her amber eyes sparkling, she really is a beautiful Faerre. But then, out of nowhere, there comes a man. He tells Laurel, that he wants to interview this Faerre. Laurel sits back down, still clutching Jinaro, and hopes that Jinaro will stay with her...
TO HOPEFULLY BE CONTINUED......
