My Best Friend He is very big, and very tall. He has a lot of fur, but I don't mind that at all. His voice is deep, and kind of strange. I don't usually understand what he says. His nose is pink, and his eyes are big and green! But I like his smile the best. He's very nice and he keeps me safe, and I'm never, ever sad. He keeps me warm and holds me close. He comes home and tells me lots of stories, and I get really, really glad! He works very hard, and always tries his best, up until the very end. I'm so happy to have you with me! You're my bestest friend! --- ~*~ --- Emerald green eyes swept over the words again and again. He coul

Walking on Thin Ice Chapter Five. Snowflake... That's what he called you that day. Snowflake. You'd thought nothing of it at the time. It was Jack, after all. He probably called lots of children Snowflake... But it was after that day...after the evening you'd spent together...that you realised just how endearing the pet name was... Jack Frost could do many things...But one thing always warmed your heart. He made snowflakes by hand. Each was precious. And no two were alike. And you realised then... That's what you were to him. A precious little twinkle unlike any other. A special little twinkle. His little twinkle. The tear that r

Walking on Thin Ice Chapter Four. Yes, that magical night seemed to set everything in stone. And it was from that night that you thought, wrongly -- so wrongly -- Your life couldn't get much better. For some time, it really did seem that way. But of course, happiness knows no greater friend and enemy than sadness... Pitch had grown bored with you, it seemed. You hadn't seen him for quite some time. That, or he had other things to attend to. More nightmares to spread. More lives to ruin. And as much as you wished to be freed of your prison, you couldn't help but with Pitch were back with you. If only to make sure he wouldn't eat away o

Walking on Thin Ice Chapter Three. You remembered that day too. The first time you flew with Jack. You remembered how magical it felt, to have the wind embracing you. Lifting you. Carrying you. To have Jack's arms around you. You remembered the way Jack had smiled at you. The way he laughed. The way his eyes seemed to dim when you two parted ways. But you also remembered his promise. "Don't worry. I'll see you soon." "Real soon." "I promise." And you realise now, even as you sit alone, cold and afraid, uncertain and hurt in this dark world... Deep down in your heart, you knew you would never stop believing him. No matter what. You

Walking on Thin Ice Chapter Two. You chuckled, a ghost of a smile coming to rest on your lips. You remembered that day so clearly. Your cage creaked as you shifted slowly, attempting to relieve yourself of the throbbing in your lower back. Your efforts bore no triumph on your part. But even so, despite your discomfort, your faint smile never waned. You were too busy -- Remembering. Remembering the way the snow glistened, and the sheer beauty of the Lake. And him. You couldn't help but remind yourself of him. Meeting him at the Lake's edge for the very first time. The way he grinned so confidently at you. And you surely couldn't forget h

Walking on Thin Ice Chapter One. You should have listened... You should have known better... You should have paid closer attention, thought a little harder. If you had, maybe you wouldn't be in this rather unpleasant predicament. The heavy black sandy handcuffs were digging into the skin of your wrists and ankles from where you were bound. The large, cold metal cage you were locked in was made of the same material as the cuffs. And the cage was dangling-- rather high up, might I add -- above what looked to be an endless chasm of darkness below you. Every now and then, a sliver of movement would catch your eye, and you would cautiously sc

Realization at Light Speed Chapter 3 You and Sonic had been walking in silence for a while until Sonic had looked toward you and said: "You know, I never got your name." "Oh, it's (name)." You said, a slight smile upon your lips as the hedgehog grinned and said your name a few times. "Okay, I got it. (Name). I won't forget it, kay?" You nodded and smiled at that. "S-so why were you in such a rush earlier?" You asked. Sonic simply laughed, looking back at you with a glint in his green eyes. "I'm always in a rush, (name)!" You couldn't help but chuckle at his energy. The two of you continued on with light conversation here and there befo

Realization at Light Speed Chapter 2 "A...Apotos...?" the words tumbled from your lips as you started vacantly at the man before you. He nodded slowly, still eying you quizzically. Your gaze fell the the ground as you let the name sink in. 'Apotos...' you thought. You could have sworn you'd heard the name somewhere...but...that would mean-- no! That's not possible! It can't be--... "Pardon, are you quite alright?" the man took one step backward, thoroughly frightened the way your eyes would widen with horror, and then crease with anger as you waged war with your own mind. "I-I'm not quite sure what your ordeal has put you through, but I'

...Oh gosh...my...head... (Eye color) eyes blearily opened and a pained groan swept past your lips. It took a moment for your senses to catch up, but when they did, you realized you were face down in the dirt, and your head was splitting. With another agonized groan, you slowly pushed yourself up and onto your knees, coughing and spitting out clumps of dirt as you went. Once upright, a hand quickly came up to cradle your throbbing cranium, and through squinted eyes, you finally got your first good look of where you were. You definitely weren't in your room. The sky was almost unnaturally blue, and not a cloud dared to mar its beauty. Lush

Chapter Four Artie Kirkland You were ushered into the kitchen by two pale hands on your shoulders. Artie was practically breathing down your neck as he sat you down at the kitchen table. "Sit, sitsitsitsitsit!" he said quickly, pushing lightly on your shoulders. You slowly lowered your body into the wooden chair. Your chair was gently pushed in and you could hear the man behind you clap his hands excitedly before scurrying to your side. He squatted and you eyed him nervously as he took your hand in his own. "So! What would my dear little poppet like to have for a snack, hmn?" he asked, his smile softening as he gazed endearingly at you. H
