The curse— RP

[Ihavesomechickens]

Rose walked through the woods, her head racing with thoughts about the previous day. Was the girl that got burned at the stake okay? The other gifted ones were letting humans come near them? How many other gifted ones are there? It seems like new ones appear everyday in this forest. Rose took a deep breath and continued walking. She came out to clear her head but it had just made her think of new questions.

"I'm going to go get some plants that can help." Ash said and then disappeared behind the veil of leaves that covered the cave entrance. Clover could hear him singing as he left, "the sun is going down, the moon fills the air..." she smiled and lay her head against one of the wooden beams, closing her eyes.

Saoirse lay in bed, almost too sore to move. She had wounds all over her body, and her bones felt cracked and brittle. After her mother had pulled her home, she used a spiked club to beat the child soundly, and then, because evidently that woman had some heart in her, sent the child to bed with no dinner. I wonder how she'd act if she found out I can walk in the air, she wondered. I'm not gifted, or cursed, I'm sure, but she'd still probably kill me. Those gifted people must have given me some of their powers.

Ash returned to find Clover asleep, leaning against a wooden beam. He smiled and put the herbs in a pile next to the dust. He went back out and clicked his tongue quietly. A golden bird fluttered from a tree and landed on his arm. He didn't know what it was, but he had been building his cave and the bird had just landed on him, so he'd been feeding it ever since. He called it Moth.

Rose continued walking. She was trying to focus on the sounds of the river she was walking along, and not on all the questions she had. She felt a bit bad, just leaving the burnt girl instead of going with the other gifted people and taking care of her, but she couldn’t go back. She couldn’t be caught. She needed to stay undercover. They wouldn’t stop chasing her. She knew they loved her, but they had a godawful way of showing it. Actually no, they didn’t love her. They loved the attention. Her parents deserved what she had done.

( I need to go . I might be on later but I don’t think I will.)

Ash stroked the bird and after a glance back at his house, started walking towards the ocean. He stood on the shore, his grey clothing blending into the night. He sat down and picked up a handful of sand, letting it slip through his fingers. I'm wasting my life, why should I hide in the woods like a coward...if I can make a difference.

 

[Ihavesomechickens]

( okay im back for like 5 minutes.)

Ashling slipped through the woods, making her way to the shore. Standing at a cliff, she took a deep breath and dove into the salty water. I need to practice, she thought as she plummeted through the air

Rose reached the end of the river, which was the ocean. She saw a boy on the shore, he looked sad. He was too far away for Rose to feel his feelings, but she could tell just by his body language he wasn’t happy. She walked over and watched him from the distance.
