Thank you!! ***************Chapter Six******************** ****** ****** Lady Gaia was placed in a crystal tomb in the High Tower. The tower suddenly becomes a tomb of sorts that paid homage to the lovely lady. I saw her as Sleeping Beauty?sleeping peacefully till a kiss awakened her. I mentioned this to Endy one quiet afternoon. Endy snapped his head away from his mother and stared at me. His eyes were oddly red yet, dry of tears. I jumped at this reaction as to the fact he had often ignored me in the past few months. ?She?s dead, Sere,? Endy flatly repeated, ?Do you understand that? She?s NOT coming back,? he sighed and stared at the window. ?But?Mommy says that she?s just like Sleeping Beauty and will awaken when she is needed?? I trailed off as Endy slowly turned towards me. ?Sere, fairy tales are for babies. They don?t come true. Sometimes,? Endy sighed, ?Sometimes grownups say things to try and make us kids feel better, and sometimes grownups lie to try and makes us feel better. No one is perfect,? ?Mama lied?? I whispered, shocked by his explanation and feeling tears in my eyes. ?No, my mother did,? Endy responded and touched the crystal surface of her tomb, ?She promised she would never leave,? ?Endy, she didn?t! She?s right there, just resting,? I smiled at Endy. He managed a weak smile. ?You?re right, Sere,? He put a hand on my hand. I sat down on the bench next to him. ?Don?t worry, Endy, I?ll never leave you,? I promised. Endy snickered a little, ?Really?? ?Truly always,? I smiled. Endy squeezed my hand. ?Even when you?re married and queen?? He questioned. ?Ewwww, marry?? I?m never getting married,? I made a face at him. ?Neither am I. I don?t want a wife or family, ever,? ?Let?s swear we?ll never get married and always stay together,? I held up my right pinky and Endy linked his pinky with mine; we twisted to touch thumbs, kissed thumbs, and spit over our left shoulder. ?Forever, Sere, forever,? His deep blue eyes shone with new tears as I smiled at our new vow. ******************************************************************** ******************************** This chapter is more of an interlude than anything. It is definitely the shortest thing I have ever written, but I hope you guys like it. The next chapter is in progress but with midterms this week and all the normal craziness of being at school, my leisure time gets eaten up quite quickly. Please, read and review as always!!
