I hopped along the side of a small stream. I let my toes dip into the water. My locket dangled off of my neck and bounced around as I moved. I stopped to touched it and the head of a lily formed in my hand. I breathed in it's perfume.
"Kiara, where are you?" Garretts voice called out to me.
"Back here!" I called to him.
I had fallen behind and wandered over to the stream. Now, I placed the lily in the water and watched it as it was tossed along in the water.
"You can't just wander off. If I loose you it won't be good." He came out from the thicket that was within a few yards from me.
I dropped my shoes and slid them on.
"I'm sorry, I didn't think I was far from you." I said lightly.
"For a princess you arn't very responsible." he said curtly.
I lowered my eyes.
"Put that away would you. Publicize your talent and get us caught. See how far we will get than." he continued.
I dropped my necklace inside the bodice of my dress to cover it up.
"Let's go." And we left the stream.
"What do you have against me?" I asked once we were far from the stream.
"You are treated with such care and with such love, when really you don't even possess a talent.
"My talent is Peace and Healing." I argued.
"Oh, really. Why don't you ever come to town and help the sick? Why don't you stop War and Death?" he asked.
"I-I well, I havn't been able to access all of my talent. I don't know how to use some of it." I stammered.
He chuckled. "I knew it."
My face flushed both from embarressment and anger. I stopped walking.
"How dare you! How dare you judge me and disrespect me!" I screamed at him.
He stopped dead in his tracks, surprised. "Tell me than what can you do?"
I became silent and the anger I had felt left. "Nevermind." I said, and dismissed the matter. I brushed past him to start walking again but he grabbed my arm. "Don't touch me." I mumbled and shook him off.
"I'm...sorry." he said.
"I get upset and now you're sorry?" I asked, "You're going to treat me the same way so don't bother to apologize.
He said nothing and we didn't talk for the rest of the day.
"Kiara, where are you?" Garretts voice called out to me.
"Back here!" I called to him.
I had fallen behind and wandered over to the stream. Now, I placed the lily in the water and watched it as it was tossed along in the water.
