"Morphos... I don't care. We're a pair. And besides, haven't I faced danger before? At least, if that's what you mean. As long as I'm with you. When I'm with you, I could look danger in the face and laugh at it. Just don't go." I said. I was sure my voice sounded frantic. It was how I felt. Frantic, worried, confused. And I didn't want Morphos to go anywhere. It was supposed to be our day. No interruptions. When he pushed me away, I knew what he was going to do, and sure enough, he did jump off. I called out his name a few times in defeat. I sat there, helplessly stranded on a cloud, - that sounded a tad bit odd - and...well, the truth was, sad. I bit my lower lip and my hands curled into fists. I shook my head back and forth. It couldn't be happening. No. No. I noticed just then that I was crying. I hadn't cried since before I met Morphos. I had to run over to see Alana and Elk. But I couldn't. It wasn't in me to ruin someone else's day. But I had to talk to them. If nothing, Alana could at least comfort me and Elk might have some faint idea of what was going on. Just as Morphos had done - I figured it was the only way off without serious injury - I jumped off the cloud and into the river. I stumbled out of the river a few seconds later, drenched. Oh, and I was wearing white, great. I squeezed the water out of my hair and crossed my arms over my chest. Now I had to get over to Alana and Elk.
Alana smiled. "Hmmm... I guess I'll be an Angel. What outfits do they have? And I suppose my character will be named Alana as well." She said to Elk happily. "Have you made any friends online?" She asked. If he did, then she would surely want to meet them. I saw Alana turn her head around. She saw me standing there and gasped. "Lulu! What happened? Where's Morphos?" She asked worried. "I-I'll answer that...in just a s-second. I-I need to...t-talk to Elk." I said in between frantic sobs. Alana held her arms out to me. I nodded and laid my head on her shoulder, still sobbing. "No offense, but you're a mess." She said. I just nodded. "It's Morphos...isn't it?" She asked. I nodded. I sat down on the ground next to Alana and brushed the wet hair out of my face. "Why don't we get you fixed up? You look like you just came out of a train wreck. I think I have a change of clothes in my bag. Brush, too. I think there's bathrooms in that building over there." Alana said as she handed me a change of clothes and a brush and pointed to a nearby building. "Human moment then." I said with a sigh. I was finally overcoming my recent trauma. That was good thing. Now I didn't have to explain things to Elk in between my frantic sobs.
I opened the door of the bathroom stall and changed into my new, comfy, dry, clothes. Now my hair. I walked out of the bathroom stall and stood in front of the mirror. I stroked the brush through my hair a few times and fixed it into a ponytail. Now I looked presentable. But seriously, what was up with Morphos? No explanation at all. 'I don't want to get you involved in this' he said. But why? I could look death in the face and laugh when I was with him. He knew that. So it might not have been danger. Or maybe something worse than death. Although I couldn't imagine anything. I turned on the water and washed my face. It felt refreshing, even though it should have felt like hell. It was painful to have any reminder of Morphos except him himself after he oh-so-wonderfully left me stranded on a cloud after jumping off and transforming into water. I sighed and turned the water off. I didn't want to be here. Not with Alana and Elk. I wanted to be with Morphos. I wanted to feel his arms around me. Smell the scent of his hair and clothes. See the world from up high, still on our little cloud. It was where I felt safe. Nothing could make me scared when I was with him. I would do anything for him. What the hell, jump off a cliff even. I sighed again and walked out of the bathroom.
"Well, I'm back." I sighed. "Wonderful! You look great!" Alana said. Wait. Great? She said I looked dull in my normal clothes. What horrors had she given me to where? I hadn't even bothered to look. A white long sleeve shirt which ended at my stomach, a pair of jeans with a black miniskirt over them, and a pair of black shoes. Ugh. "What have you done?" I asked her, pointing to my outfit. "You're a lady. Not a guy. We could also do something with your hair too... Now, when Morphos comes back, you'll look more like a couple. But anyways, what happened?" Alana replied as she moved her hand to my hair. I sighed and whacked her hand. She slowly moved it back onto her lap. I heard a small 'ow' from Alana. This might be emotional. To explain. But either way, I started. "So, I tried to kiss him." Alana stared at me with wide eyes and I glared at her. "He pushed me away. The last thing he said before he jumped off the cloud into the water was 'I don't want to get you involved in this' and then he turned into water. There ya go. The only other thing that might be of help is that he said that he couldn't breathe when he pushed me away. I didn't really understand that." It wasn't that hard to recall it actually. "Wow. Elk, any idea?" Alana asked.
Alana smiled. "Hmmm... I guess I'll be an Angel. What outfits do they have? And I suppose my character will be named Alana as well." She said to Elk happily. "Have you made any friends online?"
