    COTY

    Assailant -- Year 226

    QOTY

    "But the dream, the echo, slips from him as quickly as he had found it and as consciousness comes to him (a slap and not the gentle waves of oceanic tides), it dissolves entirely. His muscles relax as the cold claims him again, as the numbness sets in, and when his grey eyes open, there’s nothing but the faint after burn of a dream often trod and never remembered." --Brigade, written by Laura

    Fern was content to stay lost in her little world of flowers and butterflies. She inwardly squealed with delight when a particularly bold butterfly skittered across her baby-nose, but struggled to keep herself stock still until the insect departed. It was truly the perfect afternoon, with the sweet smell of flowers filling her nostrils and the warm rays of sun beating across her back.  She huffed in contentment, blissfully unaware of the approaching boy.

    She lets out a surprised yelp as the boy runs into her, and instinctively she...disappears.  The only problem is this is the first time she’d become invisible - unaware of her innate ability until this very moment. Butterflies scatter in every direction as she scampers to her feet.  She blinks as she tries to comprehend what just happened and where her body went.  Her mouth pops open in disbelief as she stares down at where her feet should be.  Her breath comes in short huffs as she tries to calm herself before she finally foces her blue-green gaze on the boy who she assumed was the cause of all this. 

    “Hey you!” she shouts, accusingly, her unseen eyes narrowing.  She has no way of knowing that what happened was truly an accident, and that he wasn’t the one that made her invisible. That was of her own doing.  But, she was equal parts ignorant and quick to accuse. “What did you do?” Of course, she’s equally ignorant of the boy’s inability to even see what had happened to her.

    The girl begins pacing, sucking down deep breaths in an attempt to calm herself.  It is on her third pass in front of the boy that she returns to her body, once again becoming visible.  A large sigh leaves her lips in a woosh, her relief palpable.

    Finally, she looks back to the boy with a slightly sheepish smile on her lips. She overreacted. She recognizes this. And she’s not so proud as not to apologize, but that doesn’t mean she has to like it either.  “Sorry,” she says, bruskly, “I’m Fern, by the way. Who are you?”

    LOOK INTO YOUR HEART AND YOU'LL FIND LOVE
