Escence
Gone are the days that I remain cradled to my mother's side. I long for adventure, unlike my other half. "Come on you sissy!" I tease, prancing backwards, flames licking at my flesh. Eviction lags, as always, stammering his protests. What if we get hurt Escence? Mother will be mad we are wandering off again. What if... "Blah blah blah! Let's go. It'll be fun! You know how to have fun right?!" My tongue sticks out as I now turn and begin to race across the meadows, sparks of fire trailing behind me. He follows begrudgingly, the flames left in my wake his guidance to my location.
As I wind up a tiny incline I see a strange creature in the distance. Wings like that of the only thing I know to have them, a bat. "Whoooaaa," the sound trails as I stare wide eyed out at the thing pouncing about the clover. I turn to look for my brother, he is just getting to the base of the hill. My head motions him to come quickly, "Eviction!" I yell in a whispered voice, "You gotta come see this thing!" I look back towards the creature and it is gone. Frantically my eyes scan the area to find the strange thing. Eviction tromps over to my side, What thing? He says wearily. His glowing eyes too scan the area for anything out of place before he grumbles, It was probably another stupid frog. I snort, "It was NOT a frog! It had wings dummy." I begin to prance down the hill, eyes vigilant. Eviction follows shortly after, not wanting to be alone with a winged frog creeping about. Escence! We are getting too far away. He looks back in the direction his mother was grazing. I can't... Ahhhhh! He screams jetting forward, towards his sister who is spinning around when she hears him scream.
My body twirls around as I hear Eviction scream. Eyes wide I look to see what had frightened him. He cowers behind me, motioning towards a noise in the tall grasses. I stand tall, chest puffed out. There is a slicing noise and clovers flying in all direction. Despite Evictions pleas to go find mother, I go closer to see if it is the thing I had seen earlier. "Hello?" I call into the void still between us. My ears flick forward to catch any response...
