Thanks! ^^ I used the smallest bubble from the bath set from the store. I must admit though, it's hard finding people willing to trade just one tiny part of a set, LOL.

Oh,he could almost feel the joy of it all! He let out an excited sharp,jagged breath of air into the cool night sky,one that reeked of decay and death. He narrowed his eyes,determined. Yes... soon.

"Hey,guys wait up!" "Ha hah! I got you!" "Awww! No fair,I wasn't looking!" the excited pup's callings rang out into the night. They padded along,battering eachother playfully. One of them cried out in joy,"Look!" and pointed upwards with one paw. Snowflakes were beginning to swirl down lazily.

Pip looked over at his older sister,Niriam. She stared up at the dark night clouds,her eyes shining with wonder. He remembered that she had never seen snow before,as last winter she was cooped up inside with a fever. He frowned,guilt worming in his stomach.

"Hey..." Merry said as they stared up at the sky. "Yeah?" Pip glanced at her. "We should make a special promise... one that only we know of!" she smiled. "That's a great idea! Hey-I know! Since we all get along so well,why don't we make a promise about that?" Niriam suggested. The triplets nodded in agreement. "How about... we'll always be there for each other?" Merry asked. "Sure!" her siblings barked. "Alright! We'll always be a family,forever!"
- - -
The next morning,the pups all went to explore on their own. Of course,it wouldn't be long until they would return back home to each other. Merry headed to the forest to collect autumn leaves, Niriam went to explore the hills,and Pip went to an old abandoned mine.
- - -
It wasn't long before Merry sensed something was wrong. She sat bolt upright,her body rigid,her nose twitching. Something was definitely wrong. She dropped the leaves she had in her mouth,and dashed off in a hurry,her heart racing in fear.
- - -
"W-who are you?!" he gasped,trying to sound brave. "Me?" the creature replied cooly. He was crouched down low on a rock spur jutting out from the wall. "Eheheheh... I am Streaker,luck demon... or so I once was..." Pip backed up against the wall. He didn't like this guy one bit. "What... what are you going to do to me?" he asked. The demon swung his head towards Pip,his gaze boring into the pup. "Me? Oh,can't I just enjoy a good old exploration?" he swung his head back and let out a fierce laugh. Pip flinched,hearing the sneer embedded into it. The demon jumped off the outcropping and walked towards him. Streaker stopped,his face only inches away from this mortal's. "What am I really here for? Well,you see..."
- - -Pip's eyes widened. He pressed against the wall further,closing his eyes and turning his head away from the beast in front of him. "What's wrong? Did I scare you?" The mocking voice of the canine rang out. Pip whimpered and slid to the floor,covering his eyes with his paws. "You know I have to do this," the voice was solemn. "No. You. DON'T!" Pip jumped up and lashed at Streaker then he dashed down the tunnel of the mine,further into the cave. "H-hey!" the demon snarled,leaning against the wall and holding the scratches across his face. "YOU GET BACK HERE!" he roared,and burst down the tunnel after the pup.
- - -
Merry ran towards the cave,her eyes wide in fear. Please don't be too late,please,please don't be too late! she begged silently,her chest heaving with exhaustion. She ran in and skidded to a halt,sending up a shower of pebbles and dirt. Gasping for air,she looked around,and yelped when she saw blood on the floor. Her eyes followed the trail. It led further down the mine shaft. She peered into the darkness,then ran down it.

That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Moonlight illuminated the courtyard. The thief ran, streaking for the gates. The king ran and stopped at his grand doors, breath coming out in short gasps. "Please don't run away! I won't hurt you!" The young girl stopped, her lips pursed as she turned, her golden eyes amused. "I've heard it all before" she mused. The king drew back, as if hurt. "Please don't leave. I have something to tell you" The girl snorted and turned, the moonlight bathing her body, lighting her blonde hair afire. "There is nothing you could tell me, just go back to your miserable castle and go-" she snapped at him but was cut short as a soft phrase drifted from his lips. "You're beautiful"
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty
in the moonlight
overthrew you
She tied you
To a kitchen chair
She broke your throne,
she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
The girl turned, her face shone, her golden eyes glimmered. She felt a tugging at her heart, a feeling she had never felt before. "Don't test me" she whispered, but he heard. "I test you not fair maiden, your golden eyes glimmer like the stars and your hair looks as soft as the finest silks. I have never seen anyone as beautiful as you that stand before me" A blush colored her cheeks, the girl dropped her gaze to the ground, studying the patterns of stone. His footsteps drew closer and soon the king stood before her. He reached a hand and drew her face close to his. "Never hide your face, without it I will miss the key to your heart" he smiled. The girl felt the urge to run, but she couldn't, she couldn't bring herself to run away from this man. "Thank you" The night engulfed them.
Maybe I've been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
"Stop that thief! They have stolen the crown jewels! Capture her!" the cries of the soldiers only made the girl laugh more. She flew through the castle, the wind singing through her hair. She clutched the queen's crown to her chest, the jewels poking her stomach. She knew he would come, that was why she had come. The crown was just enough to get his attention. She would see him again. The only man that had ever called her beautiful. The girl stepped out into the courtyard, the sun glared down upon the earth, blanketing it in a veil of warmth. Soldiers lined up along the wall, their guns drawn and aimed, straight at her heart. She smiled, she always got away with it, why should today be any different? "Hold your fire!" the voice she so longed to hear filled the air. The king strode through the gates, atop his chestnut mare. He drew closer, his eyes soft as he gazed down at her. "Hello again, maiden"
There was a time you'd let me know
What's real and going on below
But now you never show it to me do you?
Remember when I moved in you?
The holy dark was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah
The king slid from his horse and stepped towards her. "What have you done now, my fair maiden" she grinned at him and presented the glistening crown. "I stole your wife's crown. She has quite a temper" mused the girl. The king let out a bellowing laugh and touched the girl's chin, drawing up her face to his, again. "Might I just say one thing?" he asked. "Say whatever you like" she whispered, her voice melodic. He drew his lips to hers and circled his hands around her, drawing her into his body. She enjoyed the kiss while it lasted, sinking into him, melting into his embrace. He stopped the kiss and moved his lips to her ear, "I love you, but I can not. Goodbye"
Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
It's not a cry you can hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
"Goodbye..?" she asked, confused. The king stepped away from her, regret filling his gaze as he turned to his soldiers. "She has stolen the crown jewels boys, what do we do with thief's?" "We kill them" came the response, the soldiers sounded elated at the prospect. The girl stepped back in surprise, shaking her head. She dropped the crown and heard it clatter to the ground. "General" the king spoke, voice faltering as he glanced at her. She turned to run and heard the gun cock. She swirled around, and met her death, seeing it in the general's eyes. The gun's firing sound filled the air and the girl felt a pain blossom in her chest. She fell backwards, staring into the sky. And as her life ebbed away and her soul broke the last thing to break was her heart, as she watched the king stalk away. She lay silent, a tear slipping down her cheek as the whole world went black.
At midnight as the Queen gazed from her window, she was shocked to see her husband in the courtyard below. There the king sat, his cheeks glistening with tears as he sat his silent vigil beside the girl. The ravens that circled about seemed to weep for the poor broken love.
Hallelujah.
Omigosh this is beautiful. I'm gonna cry :'3

In a broken world, who can you trust? Some say you should trust no one. Some place their loyalty only in those with blood relations to them. Still others love their friends.
I have no trust. My loyalty is to no one. My heart is gone.
Now. And forever.

Laughing lightly, she flew down the path on bare feet, her innocent slate-silver eyes glittering with amusement. “Come on!” She cries, gesturing to me. Her pale pink fur is lit up in the sunlight, and darker pink and yellow tattoos stand out against it. Her feather-like tail waves with the breeze, a flag, encouraging me to follow.
A memory.
The image was fuzzy, as though I were seeing it through drunken eyes.
I almost wish that were the case. At least it would have been real.
But no. She left this world for another.
Why?
She didn’t have a choice. She couldn’t have had a choice. No, she would have stayed.
At she would have stayed longer. She would have tried.
Perhaps she did try, and I didn’t notice, or help her.
God, if that were true…
I’d never forgive myself.
---
The day she left, I left too. Not physically, but mentally. I left this world for years, mourning my loss.
Until one day, I remembered. I remembered that sometimes, it isn’t your fault. Sometimes, children get caught up in the guilt of their elders.
Unfortunately, I’m not a child. I wasn’t when she was here, either.
So maybe that isn’t the answer.
I’ll never know.
---
“Come on!” I call, bounding down the bright, sunlit path. It’s so familiar, this dirt trail, yet we’ve never been here before. The sides are unevenly bordered by autumn-caught trees, their fiery gold leaves slowly twirling down to the ground, to be stepped on and forgotten.
But all this passes by quickly, and before I know it, I’ve reached our destination.
He catches up to me; his lungs are heaving with exhaustion, he is trying to catch his breath. I admire the patterns of the web markings on his dark pelt, they’re so handsome when caught in the sunlight like this.
I push him lightly, and smile. “It’s not my fault you’re so slow,” I tease.
He hugs me tightly and nods. “I know,” he says solemnly, looking straight through my eyes into my soul. “Nothing is ever your fault.”
He means it, I know. But I also know that I can’t accept that. I bury my head into the warm folds of his sweatshirt. “Why?” I ask him, glancing up into his warm emerald gaze.
“Because.”
It’s always the answer that parents give children, and I’m not satisfied. Not yet.
And it doesn’t help that he’s always so serious and grave. I try to cheer him up, but it never works. He always ends up dimming our conversations with his dull remarks.
I sigh, and pull away from him, turning away. My sight turns to our destination point.
“I have to go. You know that,” I whisper.
He nods, taking a step forward, then stopping hesitantly.
“Will you come back?” he asks me.
I pause, turn my head, and stare at him with a sad smile. “I’m not sure.”
But I hope so. Our time together was so happy. I wish I could have stayed longer. But I can’t.
“Destiny awaits me.” I try and act happy, for his sake.
With a final smile, I turn back my final destination point.
Afterlife.
