Entry of Brooke and Olivia #1

[spoiler] Moonlight dappled across the ocean surface. Soft, small hands touched the water, disturbing the water a little, causing ripples. The hands withdrew, fingertips a bit damp. Five-year-old Ai watched as the water went back to normal. She made a happy gasping sort of sound, and turned to the boy behind her.

"Sensi! The water is magic! It was disturbed, then went back to normal!" Ai exclaimed, clearly amazed.

The boy smiled, chuckling a bit,"I guess it is then, isn't it?" he asked, crouching down beside the girl,"I hope you have some new moves to show me?" he pondered,"Or are you just going to act like a small child?" he said,"Because, if you're going to act like a child, I can not teach you how to survive in this world," he grimly explained.

Ai's eyes widened,"Oh no, Sensi! I have a new move to show you! It was the one you were teaching me last week!" she answered, trying to convince him,"I mastered it!" she promised.

"Then show me, dear student," the boy patiently said,"If you mastered it, show me," he repeated.

"But there are no targets!" Ai whined,"I can-"

"Ai! No whining!" the boy said, strictly. He sighed,"Use the tress as your targets. I had a feeling you would show me a new move tonight, and that is why I brought you here, where we are closed in by dead trees. You will not hurt them," the boy assured.

"Alright, Sensi," Ai said, bowing her hand. She looked up, and pulled a pair of small, diamond shaped daggers. She threw them sharp at the two nearest trees, and they were wedged where the heart would be if it were a human.

The boy clapped,"Good job Ai,"

Tell Me Why

Tell me why you always run,
When the past can't be undone.
Tell me why you always scream,
Your cries traveling beyond the seam.

Tell me why the blood keeps streaming,
Red, lustrous, and violently gleaming.
Tell me why your heart is hidden,
Black, dark, and uneasily forgiven.

Tell me why you try to hide,
When the gap of lies is far too wide.
Tell me why you rule with rage,
Breaking through the world's cage.

Tell me why you ponder with fate,
Your eyes glistenting with reckless hate.
Tell me why you've destroyed hope,
Leaving others alone to cope.

Tell me why this choice was made,
A brutal memory that will not fade.
Tell me why you couldn't see,
That all along I was your key.

We Walk a Path

We walked a path of black,
In the midst of the dawning day.
We walked a path of black,
Our hearts leading us astray.

We walked a path of light,
Trodding along moonlit sand.
We walked a path of light,
Walking hand in hand.

We walked a path of stone,
With bright stars in our eyes.
We walked a path of stone,
The night emphasizing our cries.

We walked a path of green,
Fulfilling everything in life.
We walked a path of green,
Through times of grief and strife.

We walked a path of red,
Through the ups and downs.
We walked a path of red,
Trying to hide our frowns.

We've walked many paths,
Neither one of us ever alone.
We 've walked many paths,
Together we meld like stone.
