The Waterfall

*sits down next to water after kicking a rock in*

*shakes head and looks back up at you* I'm sorry, i just... i'm... insane. i guess you could say.

(heather texted back O_O)

*laughs softly*
we all are in a way...and if I seem frustrated it's not because of you.

(O.O what did she say?)

I really am though...... *looks at the water* I was placed into a mental institution.... *shrugs* Wasn't as bad as most people would think.

*looks back at you with wide, orange eyes*

*smiles crookedly* It was only for a year or so

*nods slightly and laughs*
*looks back down to water and kick reflection*

*smiles and looks around* Well...

well?
*looks up at her*

*shakes head* I should probably get going...

*frowns*
Alright..

*walks over and hugs you* I'll see you around... *smiles and walks off*

*hugs back and smiles slightly*
bye...
*watches her and then looks down at water again*

Samantha walked up to the waterfall, hugging herself tightly. She stared up at the, now frozen, waterfall. She blinked, her eyes dull and emotionless. "It's...frozen." She sighed lightly, taking a seat in the snow. The area was empty, and silent. She sat there, hugging her knees, watching as the snow fell silently towards the ground. She was shaking now, she hadn't had enough time to buy winter clothes. All she wore now was an old T-shirt, and an over sized sweater. She knew she shouldn't be out like this, under dressed and unprepared, but she just couldn't help it. She loved the snow. Everything about winter, made her feel so warm on the inside. Winter, brought good memories.

*walks around in a tank top and short skirt with no jacket, shivering*
I was really wrong...

*walks up behind Hakura*
Hello, dear...
*his eyes are red*
*turns and and yelps in surprise*
Kiro!
*his eyes flash green*
Hakura, please... You have to go... I can't be your friend anymore... I... I hafta kill you...
*looks at her desperately*
*eyes widen*
Why? Why do you hafta kill me?!
*shows Hakura the mark of the hunters from their home*
I'm one of them now...
*looks at him with tears in her eyes*
HOW COULD YOU?! Do you not remember what they did to you? To me? To us?! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DID THIS TO ME!!!!!!
*tries to run off*
*stops her and looks at her desperately*
If you won't leave, then kill me...
*eyes widen*
WHAT?!

*looks at Hakiro, tears rolling down her cheeks*
Hakiro, I can't kill you! I just can't!
*looks at her desperately*
Please... it would help both of us...
*starts to cry too*
If I... stay alive... I'll hurt you so much... I don't want to die... but I have to...
Oh my god... He's starting to sound like Os the other day...
*closes her eyes, sill sobbing*
Please, don't say tings like that! You're going to give me horrible nightmares!
*still crying*
Please, just do it... Please... for me...
*looks at her, reaching behind her, grabbing an arrow from her quiver, handing it to her*
Please, for us...
*still sobbing, takes the arrow and chokes on her tears*
Hakiro... I'm so sorry...
*stabs him in the heart with the posionus arrow*
*still sobbing*
I'm so sorry...
*his eyes start to close and he coughs violently, blood coming out of his mouth*
Hakura... Thank you... I love you... and I'm sorry...
*dies*
*Tears blind her*
Kiro... I'm sorry...
*runs off, still crying*
What have I done...?

As Craiger was walking across the path a girl had ran straight into him, he quickly grabed hold of her by the shoulder's to prevent either one of them from falling to the floor and looked at her for a while. It was the girl he had saw in the forest not long ago. She was in a terrible fit of tears as he looked down upon her.

"Is everything alright hakura?" he asked as he surveyed the surroundings and saw the body of a boy lying on the floor, an arrow peirced into his chest. Had she done that?

*sighs, still sobbing*
No...
*looks back and closes her eyes tightly*
I... I had to kill him... My friend, Hakiro...
*sobs*
I... just...
*shakes her head and looks at Craiger*
If... I didn't... he would've killed me... and he didn't want that... so...
*sobs*

Craiger had little to no idea what was going on, but nonetheless he removed a pearly white handkerchief from his back pocket and wiped the tears away from haku's face. "he died so that you could be happy, so dont waste his sacrifice by crying" he muttered soothingly, however he was simply grasping as he had no true idea what was happening.

*smiles weakly*
Thanks... You really don't and shouldn't understand what happened... before today...
well... He beat me up and joined a group of people we absolutely HATE! And even before that, he broke a window over me! This is what I do to myself... all the time...
*still crying*

Craiger sighed, as he removed his jacket and placed it around hakura's shoulder's, he then proceeded to sit her down in a bench on the shore of the water. "life is like a game of chess, in order to win pieces must be sacrificed" he mused staring at the water that rippled from being beaten by the waterfall.

*blinks*
Okay...
What the hell does he mean by that?

Craiger noticed haku's expression of confusio and made to explain. " every one has people and objects as such who we truly love and trust, but when one of those people die or if we lose one of thos objects we become lost in sorrow. But like a game of chess with every sacrifice there is a new beggining. For example i lost most of power" he began placing his hand upon his right eye which was covered by a black cloth.

"But from that sacrifice i found the love of my life and im happy because of that" he finished, before standing up and walking towards the boy's corpse and rolling up the sleeves of his shirt.

*nods*
I guess you're right...
*lifts the snow up and puts it over Hakiro's body*
It's okay... This is my problem... not yours...
