A halo of light was cast from the tree tops, making everything appear like it was from a fairy tale. Birds sang above her, chirping wildly as she wove her way through the typically treacherous forest in search of her usual spot; the clearing. It was almost pitch black, but that was how she liked it. The world looked alight with her new vision, designed to see best in the darkest of places. The one thing she missed was the sun; at least as a blue fledgling she could feel a bit of the warmth. Now that damn boy had killed her, and she had to deal with the handicaps of being a red fledgling. The daylight was the bane of her existence now. Fan-freaking-tastic. If that boy wasn't already rotting in jail, she'd make sure something happened to him for what he did. The sick part was that she still loved him, but she could never admit that to herself. That part of her life was over, the chapter of him closed forever. She'd never get her hands dirty, but she could orchestrate something good. Or at least... She could think about it. Tonight she wouldn't dwell on that though. Not on trying to figure out just what the hell she would do with herself, but on what she was about to create. In her right hand was a small canvas, in her left was a box of oil pastels. Hopefully this piece wouldn't turn out sad or something. After all, she was pretty miserable, especially tonight since her only friend Justin Flyte was off busy with his girlfriend. She shuddered, thinking of that girl's eyes. They sure as hell scared the crap out of Evangelon, that's for sure. There was always some animosity between the two women, and it really bothered Eva. She wished nothing more than to be liked, but eventually she'd have to realize that not everyone is going to like her. That wouldn't stop her from trying, of course. Always making things difficult. Stepping out from the treeline, Evangelon smiled a bit. No teeth showed, just a tilt of her lips when she took in her surroundings. Hazel eyes surveyed the area, the boots on her feet making their way through the tall grasses with ease. Stars glittered up above her head, and they would have been enchanting if she hadn't been in this desultory mood. She had been riding her horse for Equestrian class earlier and he had been upset about something. She'd taken the sad emotions from him, but now they were nested inside her instead. That was the trade off for her gift. Shaking her head, she adjusted her shirt with the printed tree. She had felt in a very earthy mood, sporting neutral colors and feather accessories. The bracelet she always wore was wrapped comfortably around her wrist, the feather attached to it softly touching her wrist. Spotting a nice area to sit, she lowered herself to the ground, put the pastels on the ground, and slid off the lid. The canvas was sitting across her crossed legs, and she slipped the elastic band off her wrist to pull her hair back and down over her left shoulder. Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes a moment before reopening them to see the world from her attempted artist perspective. She didn't really draw what she saw... It was harder to explain than that. It was more like she drew what was in front of her as emotions. Taking a deep breath, she looked down and retrieved a nice dark purplish blue pastel from her collection. Using delicate fingers, she peeled back some of the paper, rubbing her fingers together afterward to relish in the waxy texture of her chosen medium between her fingers. Taking one more look at the treeline to her right, she assessed the size of her canvas a moment, and then began to draw. It wasn't really a cohesive picture, more along the lines of swaths of color all arranged in a strange pattern. She played with the midnight blue-purple color for a while, then grabbed a nice earthy green and started trailing it through the base color she had created to give the picture a bit more depth. She did the same with another type of blue, and a black as well. Then, grabbing a nice yellow-white pastel, she finished with a few quick, strong strokes to bring out her ideas. Once she was finished, she smudged a few places with her fingers trying to get the right kind of movement on the piece. That was what she loved about oil pastels; their flexibility and how easy they were to transform into wispy fanciful designs. Eyes looked over the piece, a mix of blues and greens and purples with those bright fleeting accents. She really liked this one... Maybe she would hang it in her room when she got home. Or maybe she would give it to Justin. That is, if he wasn't busy with his mean scary girlfriend. Hazel eyes grew hard, her glare almost perfect. If looks could kill, Eva would turn Cris to stone. It wasn't like she was trying to steal Justin away and have him for herself. Ok, so maybe she was, but just as her friend. Evangelon had a crush on him, sure, but she wouldn't steal another persons boyfriend. That was just wrong. It was more like she wished to spend more time with him because he was her only real friend. She didn't know what else to do to get him to see her. Maybe she would try to make him jealous... She had never attempted that venue before. Not that he would really fall for it - after all, he had a girlfriend - but maybe just once she could do or say something, or maybe even have a fling on the side. She didn't really have her eye on anyone, so she had no idea where to start. Come on, Eva... Think spontaneously! she thought to herself, trying to come up with an idea that didn't sound just stupid in her head. She wasn't one for being attached emotionally - in truth, it scared the hell out of her - but maybe just something to spark in his head that she wouldn't be around forever. At least, theoretically speaking. © melly welly from caution 2.0 | LYRICS BY FLORENCE & THE MACHINE OUTFIT: HERE | 1077 WORDS | NOTES: first post as evangelon! |
