Selene's Haunting
Something I came up with on the spur of the moment....let me know what you think of it...
Mariah
Selene's haunting....The light of the moon slips through her blinds as she sleeps. Thin silver-white rays dance around her head as she tosses and turns. Her cool pillows offer no comfort in the Summer Nights and her blankets are stifling.....and yet his cold fingers brush against her cheek....she remembers those fingers....but as yet her eyes are shut tight, and no matter how many times she tries she can't pry them open....But Selene's haunting has just began.
The wolves howl in the distance and the cool fingers seem to slip away for only a moment. Her eyes fly open and she sits up in her bed. Her eyes wildly search for the owner of the cool fingers, but alas he is nowhere near. Mariah kicks away at the covers' on her bed and arises disheveled. Her thin braids fall into her face and she furiously pushes them away.
"Where is he?"
Mariah walks throughout her room searching for him in the dark with only a bit of moonlight to see. She can smell him, he smells of sweet things....flowers....vanilla....gardenias.....nature.
"He can't be gone." She weeps silently.
"Alec, Alec, Alec."
She can't take it any longer. Mariah slips out her bedroom window and races to the graffitied alley behind her highschool. Her nightgown slaps around her legs and her braids whirl around as she moves. Her feet lightly slaps against the newly cemented sidewalk. Then she arrives, and stops right in the alley. It's still there! The Mural is still there!
Mariah presses her hand against the painted creatures. She traces the bricks and tries to remember the code.
"Is it a Z?" She asks out loud.
but no matter how many patterns she traces in the mural it doesn't open.
Maybe it really is over, maybe he's forgotten her. Maybe he did as he was commissioned to do and married the Princess....
He doesn't want her back..
She slumps against the brick wall banging at it terribly hard...but the only thing getting hurt is her fist. It began to ache and bleed from her banging and she redraws her hand with a sigh.
"Alec, I love you...I really do. Why did you leave me here?"
The silence of the early morning is too much to bear. The darkness around her is heavy.
"Alec." Mariah kisses her fingertips and presses it against the stone.
"I will always remember you."
She steps away from the Mural and runs back home as fast as she possibly can.
But she doesn't sleep, she thinks about him too much for that.
Alec
And so let him sing of her sweetness.....tenderness....the feel of her fingertips gliding over his cool skin in the night....she's always there, murmuring in his ear, touching his face, his arms. When he awakens she's not there.....only the residue of her Haunting in his mind...and so he must sing of her to free himself....he must sing of the girl he regrets leaving behind.
The girl he left on the other side of the Mural.
