Snippet #2487

The darkness of the forest wrapped itself around like a black blanket of fear making Annette shiver. She walked slowly with her shoulders hunched. Hoovering just an inch or so above her palm was a little orb omitting a soft bluish light. She made no noise as her bare feet crept over the soft moss. She let her eyes travel over the land searching as her ears picked up the sound of others hollering through the woods the name of the children who were lost. Desperately her deep violet eyes strained to see through the darkness, but there was a new moon and the clouds were covering the stars. It was going to get very cold soon; if the children weren't found they would surely freeze.

Then Annette stopped suddenly and fixed her eyes on the sky. The wind whistled around her tugging at her light violet gown and making her chocolate brown curls dance on the nape of her neck. She let her eyelids close so her long lashes rested artistically upon her pale cheeks. Then her soft lips parted and music began to pour forth like a soft flute.

"Wake now Lady of the Stars! Leave your slumber and come! Come to us and shine your light! Let your stars come shining bright! Lady of the stars your people need your light!"

Her voice flooded the forest echoing through the trees making all the elves stop in their tracks. The song was in a tongue they did not know, but all knew it was Annette.

~~~~~~

A pair of dark blue eyes opened with a ferocity to rival a lion. Pink rushed into the ivory skin as the head of ebony hair lifted from its place of rest on the slender arms. Her ears were alert as the song the woke her continued to pour forth. She stood from her bed of moonstone and stepped lightly of the surface of the white orb. She turned her attention to the planet where the song was coming and saw a young girl dressed simply singing desperately for her help. Grandly Serena made her way among the stars and her anger grew for a shadow of dark clouds mulled her vision. As she made her way towards them she swept her hand grandly from left to right and the clouds dispersed.

Young Annette let her mouth fall open and a beautiful woman descended upon her. Her dark head bent as she sunk into the deepest curtsey.

"Your greatness!" she gasped as the woman glittering with the light of the stars stepped onto the ground before her.

"Singer," she answered as she raked the scene for what she had been called for, but strangely, she found nothing.
