Forever

Into the woods

With Floyd on my shoulder we headed off, I strolled down the hallway that lead to the door. Put my hand on the diamond shaped knob of the double door before saying goodbye to both of my grandmothers, they only sat and waved with dim smiles on their faces. Their grins looked as if they let something off of their shoulders but were still laced with nervousness as if they were worried that my boyfriend was going to spill something.

But I turned the doorknob and headed off into the porch to begin our adventure of finding Floyds brothers. I mean I am still nervous about meeting them but I was able to cheer myself up with the fact that once they remove me from my sister from their impressions of me they'll be very generous with the possibility of friendship.

Especially since the sunrise is the marker of start of our quest to get my beloved back to the life he had before my sister, I made it to the edge of the gate before I lightly traced my finger along the sharp tips of the fence.

The crack of dawn bathed my grandmas house is various shades of gold, violet and vivid pinks and reds. I wonder if all the city was bathed in the rich menagerie of sharp magnificent colors.

I went outside the fence and walked along the cracked sidewalk that led back toward the city again, as I walked the sharp harsh winds sliced through the air and hitting us with its frigidness. The cracked sidewalk was covered with the same golden pink light that my grandmothers only becoming covered my the moving cars that hastily passed by as the city was awakening.

As we inched closer to the woods the trees were becoming more frequent as we grew closer the never ending light of the sunrise hitting the tops of the greenery. I wish that I could take him around all my favorite spots on mount Rageous. But I have to return him, but maybe he could show me all of his favorite spots, maybe we could discover new places together. That thought fills me with a warmth i've only felt when I was with this small adorable troll.

As we were at the edge of the woods, I took  notice on how the large massive trees that could rival skyscrapers were untouched by father time, the creatures that rest within the same place as the decaying trees the fading moon keeping them at bay from it's spot on the edge of the horizon. All the beauty and glory of the animals and the trees that hide them calmed my thoughts as I heard the practically frozen leaves crunching under my heels.

We were shaded as I strolled through the eerily silent woods, the sounds of me and Floyd breathing were the only sound being carried by the wind through out the dark abandoned forest. I cupped my hand letting my darling sweetheart hop on to it and he looked at me and started to talk,

"Veneer, there's something that I have to tell you." He wrung his hands together in worry and I glanced into his vivid fuchsia speckled with amethyst that glanced away from me.

"What is it gumdrop?" My voice softly murmured to my mini sized partner only for him to say back.

"When me and your grandmothers were talking they told me something and I wanted you to know before you make a decision and if you still want to be with me." His voice grew worried as I saw the brim of his eyes fill with tears, what has him this upset? What on earth did my grandmothers tell him behind my back. My gut twisted with worry as he took a deep breath and continued,

"You're part troll and if you keep kissing me and being with me, would turn you into a troll and i'm not sure on weather or not you would want that, so if you don't want that then I think that-" I interrupted him by placing a kiss on his cheek effectively sending him into a flustered silence.

"If being a troll means that I get to be with you then so be it Gumdrop. I mean there's a lot of bonuses especially since we'll be the same height." I winked at him and watched as his face got stained midnight blue and his eyes went to the side not fully looking at me anymore to embarrassed by my declaration of love for him. But if I'm part troll doesn't that mean velvet should be too?

"What about my sister? If we're both part troll then-" I started to ask but was intervened by a hasty,

"Velvet's your half sister." He blurted out and I feel like an bucket full of ice water was dumped on me.

"What do yo mean, half?" I must've worried him since his voice took on a much more gentler tone before continuing with what they were talking about whilst I was absent.

"Turns out your mom cheated on your dad with guy who looks like your dad and now..." he threw his arms up in the air practically giving up upon making sense of the whole scenario. Guy who looks like my dad, but the only person who had green hair who was a common occurrence in our lives was my mom's co-worker, juniper. He had green hair like my father and if he and my mom got together, it would definitely make it convenient to not only get away with but to convince my father that we were both his since we looked practically identical, if she were to have done this she must've had conceived me and my sister within the same week.

I knew my mother was a snake especially since she spoiled my sister heavily, but i was the legitimate child, that only makes me wonder why? Was it her own bizarre way of trying to cover up what she's done, making sure she didn't bring too much suspicion onto them despite neglecting their other child.

I always felt as if I was consistently in her over grown shadow but this just showed my why I was always in her stead, more of a follower who only was allowed to follow Velvet's orders, the response to her call. Now I know why, it was because my mom's massive screw up, that I was forced to give up myself in order to receive any affection.

I hate my mother now, she's effectively dead to me, I'm now only sad that I lost a father.

With putting my small lover on my shoulder, we kept moving on, letting the silence wrap her thick blanket around us.
