Suddenly Mariposa got up and pullled the fawn on her back. Mariposa trotted around with it on her back and occasionally hopping up and down. boiingggg-gg-ggg. Then she ran and leapt up into the air, laughing. After a while of frolicing on the shore, Mariposa grew tired. She slid the fawn off of her back and lied down, curling around it. They were facing the shore, able to watch the surreal waves now. "This place is perfect," Mariposa spoke softly, thinking aloud. "I want to stay here forever."
(Blargh fail late response, sorry xD I've been drawing a pic of Mariposa and the fawn because I'm a sucker for cute moments lol. She's so lonely all of the time and it's nice to actually draw her with someone xP ♥ )
@faunet: The mirror shimmers in the pale moonlight as if a flurry of falling stars had been caught in its surface.
The words appear almost immediately this time. "yes!"
@Bayleen: Giggling and laughing in glee, the childish voice of the fawn seemed to echo all around, in the waves, the wind, the sand...
And as she slid off of the doe's back, the fist thing she did was cuddle her happily, planting a lipless kiss on her cheek before curling up in the tiny bowl Mariposa's legs formed around her.
She sighed deeply in happiness... But shook her head as Mariposa spoke.
She could not stay here forever.
This was a temporary world...
But the warmth of the tiny fawn was lasting.
[That's okay, dude, I get the same way with my lonely characters TwT And cute moments are a major do want! TwT]
@faunet. But this time the world was different.
No big, towering trees or darkness slowly revealing a landscape.
This time, she was in a room. It looked like an apartment room.
The key was in the door, looking old and worn from use.
The light was no-where to be seen...
But its giggle echoed through the hallway outside the door.
@faunet: Growing louder as she opened the door, the giggle was coming from somewhere in the darkness of the hallway... It was still nowhere to be seen.
There were doors on either side of her as she walked, but none of them were numbered.
The hallway seemed to stretch on and on, never ending...
Mariposa felt like she was made up of tiny butterflies and each and every one of them was fluttering inside her. But then she saw the little fawn's head shake. At first, she didn't quite understand, but then Mariposa got the message. The doe curled up even tighter to the fawn, stubborn, not letting her go. Mariposa closed her eyes as they began to water. Soon, sleep overcame her, but she hoped that by the time she was awake, her friend would still be beside her.
@Bayleen: But she did not get to sleep for long, as soon the fawn nudged her awake.
It seemed solemn... Almost kind of stubborn... And then, the words appeared.
"Don't sleep, I wanna play while you're here!"...
They seemed to float in mid-air before the face of the fawn.
"You have to go at dawn. But you can come back every night, and we can play!"
It nudged her lovingly, its tiny featureless face mimicking a serene smile.
@faunet: As she called out the giggle echoed again from somewhere deep inside the building.
Leading her...
The walls were cold and smooth under her touch, just like the trees had been in the last world inside the mirror... It seemed the fate of everything in there to imitate the texture of the cool glass surface it was reflected in.
@faunet: The light was there, alright. But it was extended several feet in the air, in a golden bird cage hanging freely in the middle of a giant, round room, not unlike the clearing of the previous world, complete with tall shapes bordering it. Though luckily, these shapes were simple marble columns, not rotting, fleshy, multi-faced living trees.
@faunet: A light giggle from the light reassured her that it was quite okay.
It flickered lightly, floating around the cage in a small circle, giggling frantically.
It obviously wanted to get out...
"Hang on maybe I can get you out but I'll need a chair to get to you"she said looking around.She wondered for a moment if th person the light mentioned yesterday was the one who put the light in the cage.
Mariposa woke, though hesitantly. She could barely catch what the fawn told her. Mariposa blinked. "Did you just speak..?" Mariposa asked her, surprised.
@faunet: Giving a small, slightly nervous giggle, the light flickered in the cage. There were no chairs around and thinking back, the room she had appeared in had been completely empty too...
@Bayleen: Giggling, the fawn shook her head. "No... I can't talk... But I can still say stuff." the text in front of the fawn's face spelled out in white, bright font, while the fawn gave a warm giggle.
@Bayleen: Giggling happily and jumping to her hooves as well, the tiny shadow-fawn bounced around Mariposa playfully. "Try and catch me!" The text appeared before the doe as the fawn nudged her, then jumped away, then nudged her gently again, tail wagging and swishing behind her.
But there was no mention of time... Apparently the mind of the fawn was too preoccupied by the thought of play.
Mariposa laughed and reared up a little before dashing after the small fawn. Mariposa is no athlete, so she tripped often over her hair and just...being a cluts in general.
The wind was cool upon her face and the ground was soft and slushy to her. She put aside all thoughts of leaving, because saying goodbye would be the hardest for her.
Quad Wolf felt the urge to chase after her. Whether it was his canine instinct or simply out of curiosity, he didn't know what drove him.
He followed, the girl was much faster than he expected. He was really struggling to keep up, and was already beginning to run out of breath**
"Where are you going?", he called curiously.
** Quad has asthma symptoms since he is so heavyset (and is a representation of me), so he can only run in short bursts before having to stop to catch his breath
@Bayleen: Giggling and laughing as they went, the fawn happily sprung about the older doe, not caring at all that she wasn't graceful; she simply just seemed to enjoy her company.
The shadow-fawn's movements were swift and twitchy, dodging all the time and bucking with glee, dainty, little hooves, leaving not a simple hoof print in the sand. It was almost as if she wasn't there at all... But the occasional nudges and bumps reassured Mariposa that this little fawn was very much real and very much enjoying her company.
@Quad: Giggling-barking, the small girl stopped, still not turning around, jet-black hair reaching almost all the way down to her middle.
She waited, jittery, waited for the wolf to catch up... Before running down a path with an excited sound, ball in her hands, leaving tiny, little pawprints in the fine, cool grass underfoot.
She seemed almost incapable of standing still at all.
-------------
That's okay, Quad ^w^ Also, makes sense >w< I might have to draw him again soon... he's a good excuse for drawing heavyset wolves XD
She backed up and got a running start.She got ready and ran at the last moment she jumped and latched a hold on the cage."Hello"she said tltting go but keeping her hold with one hand as she seached for a pocket knife she had
The wolf slowed, finding the path and seeing the pawprints leading in. He took deep breaths, and then began to venture deeper into the forest.
Pawprints? So this one isn't really a human either?, the wolf began to think.
--------------------------------
I had an idea but I don't know what you think. I've never had a reason for Quad to turn into a human, although I've tried to design him as one before (but am not all that good at drawing them). I always thought he'd look like me but with blue hair anyway, but maybe he could gain a human form from this encounter.
@faunet: As she latched onto the cage, the light spun around and giggled with excitement, its tiny presence feeling warm against the fingers of her warm hand...
The presence was small, pleasant and warm, fluttering gently like a small flame or the flutter of a butterfly's wings...
She grabbed the knife and went to work on the lock it took less than ten minutes till she got the cage open.Puttring the knife away she let go and gracefully landed on the floor."Your free know"she said happily
@Quad: Giggle-barking some way ahead of the wolf, the little girl stopped at a crossroads... One path leading into a pine forest, the other into a field full of haystacks bordered by birch trees, a strangely ominous sight in this black-and-white land of midnight.
On the ground was an old, broken sign with only two words on it.
"pins" and "needles"...
But the sign was so old and broken, it was impossible to tell which road was which...
-------------
I think that sounds like a wonderful idea! >w< After all, the world inside the mirror is a mysterious place... Who knows what could happen in there?~
@faunet: The light hesitated...
Like a bird who had never learned to fly, it flickered nervously, hesitating to exit the cage... Almost as if it didn't want to...
But the lure of the girl was too tempting in the end, making it slowly dare itself out...
@faunet: The light giggled quietly... and slowly descended towards her.
It moved in slight jerks, almost as if it was afraid of something...
But soon it timidly touched the girl's fingertips... and slid onto her extended palms.
It was warm and fluttered like a small bird's heart... It felt so very fragile, like it would break if you stared at it hard enough.
@Quad: The girl giggle-barked ahead of him as he turned down the road.
He was going the right way!
And there she was, running from one haystack to the other, bouncing her ball happily... But as Quad got close enough, she would suddenly appear running between two other haystacks further away, sometimes behind him, sometimes in front of him, as if playing some sort of dream-like, nonsensical hide and seek...
@faunet: flickering and giggling, the light nuzzled back as best it could. It had no body, no physical shape whatsoever and no means of communication aside from its child-like giggle.
Yet it managed to communicate both curiosity, happiness and that slight pang of anxiety it seemed to be constantly suffering under...
And for good reason... It felt like something was watching them...
She sensed another prescense but since it didn't make itself known she didn't care.She was only a 17 year old girl who was rebellious and curious at the same time.
"I hope you don't mind if I call you little light"she said her blue eyes sparkling.
He stepped back, curiously watching. Was there a pattern? How was this even possible? She was very fast!
He lowered down, and was prepared to pounce where he expected her to be, only to fly through the air and land on the ground with a thud. He shook his head, dazed, only to see the girl run by.
"This is hard!", he said, and actually began to laugh a little. "Fun...but hard..."
@faunet: The little light giggled happily, floating around curiously in her hands, almost like a hamster or some other rodent of the same size would scurry around their owner's hand for the first time after buying them.
Mariposa slowed to a stop and let her head hang, her hair cascading forward. "Ugh," she panted. "I can't catch you! You're too fast!" Mariposa used to have quite frequent flashbacks of her happy memories, but it would happen subconsciously, and she would be running crazily around the forest. That is why she gets so tired easily.
Her pose was very fawn-like as her legs were angled outward because she was too lazy to stand up straight anymore. She was even a bit sweaty around her forehead and her hair felt a little greasy.
@Quad: Giggle-barking as she flew by, the girl skipped and jumped on her way, into the shadows of one of the haystacks where she almost seemed to melt into them, completely disappearing... only to re-appear right behind Quad and poke him on the back... before running away, howl-giggling loudly in glee, too fast for her face to be shown.
Quad Wolf was exhausted already, and being poked in the back despite just seeing the girl appear before him startled him. He yelped in fright and then turned to barely see her vanish again.
He sat, not losing interest, but collecting his nerves.
"Okay okay, I give up! I can't catch you!", he called out, hoping not to hurt her feelings, but he was sore from running already.
@faunet: The light giggled quietly, comfortingly, almost as if to say it was okay. It flickered gently in her hands, calm and trusting... Staring into it made the rest of the world seem dark, as is the nature of light... but when Tazanna looked up again, the world did not return to its previous brightness...
And there was still that feeling of someone watching...
@Bayleen: The fawn giggled, stopped and then pranced back to her with a light and bouncing gait, flowing in a graceful motion into a nuzzle, pressing its tiny body against hers, feeling small and happy and warm.
It's okay, it seemed to want to say.
@010: Do I spot a track?~ < w <
@Quad: Peeking out from behind a haystack, the tiny girl giggle-barked and finally slowed down to a light walk, bare feet carrying her across the cool grass, closer to her... And when she came into sight, at first it seemed like she didn't have a face, only a plain, black surface... But on a closer look, that was just her long, black hair covering her face.
She giggled, the barking in her voice subsiding, and stretched out a hand, putting it on the panting wolf's head, petting him softly.
Her touch was light and warm and she never seemed to be able to stand completely still, jittering slightly from side to side, even when simply standing there, petting him.
"It seems darker in here she murmered to herself.
Istinctly she brought the light closer to her chest as if to protect from an unknown source.
She sat down coddling the light unsure of what to do regardless though she would se this through.
@faunet: The light flickered nervously in her hands, warming her chest as she brought it closer to her heart... It grew warmer and warmer... reaching out for her... until her chest began to glow as well!
The light spread, engulfing the two slowly, just as the shadows in the room grew restless and started approaching, dark, obscured eyes shining between the spaces in the darkness...
"Don't fear for me little light whatever happens it will all turn out all right"she said
She noticed the glow about her and was confused but it was pleasant and warm.
"Whatever it is I am not afraid."
@faunet: A small giggle from the light.
It reached out with what looked like tiny, little hands, so thin and delicate they looked like they could break at any moment... It reached out... and into her heart...
The light in her chest exploded, completely surrounding the two, painless and soft but with such power it was overwhelming.
The shadows around them rushed forward with a resonating screech but never reached them as the light transported them.
...
Darkness...
The tiny light flickered in her hands...
It giggled...
Everything felt soft... Surrounding... Like water...
Tazanna gasped she didn't feel frightned just confused.
She felt ,,,,,,,,water"Where did you take us little light"She asked
For a moment her thoughts wondered on the shadows,but why would they come after us she thought to herself
Then I will wait for the next
{Can we skip to the nxt night?}
@faunet: The faint giggle
The mirror shivers with excitement.
{Of course! >w<}
The next night the girl
Suddenly Mariposa got up and

"Pine trees...or birch trees...hmm...", Quad thought. He looked for more pawprints, but there were none on the ground.
He sighed and raised his nose, smelling the air. Right....go right..., he thought.
