Chapter 5: Do You Want to Die?

I was in that dream again.

Grass wet with dew brushed against my bare legs as I glided quickly through the meadow, barely feeling the ground beneath my feet. My eyes were scanning for another glimpse of the majestic creature I’d just gained sight of a moment ago before it bound between two large pine trees.

I knew if I followed the gorgeous white pony further into the woods, I would run into him again.

“Don’t touch me!” He raised his voice, but he didn’t sit up, and his arms lay limp at his side. He wore a mask over his face. Only his onyx black eyes were visible to me.

“Do you want to die?” I retorted as I inspected his body for wounds.

“…I don’t care,” he replied quietly.

My hands paused. For some reason, his words broke my heart a little, even though he’d almost killed me just now.

I lifted my gaze to meet his. His eyes were so deep, so dark, like infinite wells, and I feared that if I spent too much time looking into them, I might not be able to extricate myself from their depths.

“Well, I do, okay?” I said. “My father would yell at me if he finds out I left someone bleeding to death in the wild! Relax. l’

m just going to bandage up these wounds.”

He grunted a bit when I lifted him off of the ground, but he didn’t fight back anymore.

Silence filled the air, and I felt I had to say something, so I started with the basic question. “What’s your name?”

He looked at me with those dark eyes and answered, “I don’t have one.”

“Really? That’s strange, because I don’t have one either.”

He cocked his head to the side and gave me a look that was a cross between confused and annoyed.

“It’s true. People just call me girl.”

“Girl?” he repeated.

“That’s right. Girl,” I gave him a big smile. My father had told me that smiles were one of the most effective ways to make friends.

But instead of returning a smile back to me, he almost seemed a bit uncomfortable and moved his gaze away from mine. “And what are you doing out here in the woods all alone?” he asked.

“Um…“ | tapped on my chin. “Have you heard of the Sun Blossom flower?”

His eyes widened slightly, and I could see that he had heard of it.

I continued, “You know, the flower that grows on the side of the mountains. I’ve heard they’re beautiful, and smell wonderful. That’s why I came. My friend was leading me there…”

“Your friend?” he glanced around immediately, his tone wary.

“Yes, my new friend. A little white pony…”

He let out a breath of relief, and then said matter-of-fact ly. “Those flowers, they’re not easy to get.”

“My mother also said it was a fool’s errand.” | rested my hands in my lap. “But I love flowers. Don’t you?”

He shrugged and looked down at the ground.

But then, the fire was suddenly extinguished. His whole body was taken by the blackness.
