They were twins. Not by blood,nor by parents,nor by anything,in all reality.
Why were they twins? Allow me to reply...
Passion,hope,faith...they held all that in spite of their abuse and weary time gave them both.
One,by the name of Abase,lived in a plantation house next to a lake. The place was surrounded by vegatation,though the air was heavy and humid.
His father, Capshus, and his mother, Preteshus, loathed the idea of their son having a wife,as well as self-belief,and independence.
The other, whose name was Mizeri, lived far from any sign of (actual) intelligence,with her mother,Vexashun, her brother,Naevete,and her grandfather, Ville. The place where she exsisted was in the suburban area of a city,though everyone around seemed to have their head under everyone else's foot. In the edge of the black gate that guarded the house,a small passion fruit tree's branches hung over.
With a 2,058 mile distance,no one really knew or cared,except for them.
As if captured in a mirror,one yearned for the other. It seemed as if it were years.
One night,that all changed.
"Abase,have you got them?" Mizeri whispered,keeping her voice low as she lurched out her bedroom window,leaving a small note in the underside of her vanity table.
"Yes,love...I have." Abase pulled her close, a soft,catlike smile on his lips.
The stupid mutts outside the ebony gate began to yap,like the cruel little ratty squints they were. In anger,Mizeri shoved her foot through the ridges of the gate,and the small mutt snapped at her. Grabbing an unripened fruit from the tree,she hurled it towards the dog,and it let out a loud squeal.
"What was that?" her family asked among themselves,stirring impatiently."What happened?"
Mizeri and Abase looked at each other in worry. Abase grabbed the ebony cloak,and surrounded the both of them in it. Lifting his lover onto his back,he ran...ran...
After they were out of sight,he set her down and looked into her eyes...
Or at least...he would have,if she hadn't fallen asleep on his back.
Staring up into the night sky,he held a smile.
"Look up at the moon in the sweet dark of night
Just the way our lips hold shine
I wish you were looking up to the same moon...
Look at the moon,my love...
See how our hearts reflect,the way the sun and the moon do...
Every touch may be our last,so run with me,my love,and run fast."
This he softly hummed,the beautiful melody surrounding them as he began to walk more,finding a small patch beneath a large bush,which he sat down in.
Laying her down on the soft grass,he played with her hair and hummed more of the aria.
"Even to leave the solemn homes that would bring later grief
Our homes against our hopes and beliefs
And to those who know our secret,beware.
If you tell,your life is at stake...
Whisper to anyone,slumber,and never wake.
Drearily,Mizeri opened her eyes and pulled herself up,twining her fingers with his...
humming as well,she gave a lighter side...
"Learn it and accept the fact that neither can live with a dead heart
If you're human,you would understand.
If not,follow your leaders' command.
Kill us if need be,though you'll never catch him without me.
Into the moon,like into my eyes,never look away..."
The two drifted to sleep,tucked and nestled under the snowpea vines.
In the chilly morning,about an hour before sunrise,Mizeri stood and nudged Abase awake.
"Dear...wake up. We need to get a move on before we're caught..."
"I know,love.." he mumbled with a grogginess in his voice,"let's gather some food for the journey,before we leave..."
Mizeri nodded,and began taking off her palla (greek wrap-around) to pick vegetables from the garden he had laid them both in.
She picked from the abundance,a mix of small jackfruits,acorn squash,snowpeas,grapefruits,herbs and a few jujubes (mini apples).
Abase smiled as his beauty stood up from her collecting.
"I"m ready to go." she whispered,keeing her voice lowered...
"As am I." he replied,leading a horse into the garden,which he had gotten from the barn across the field.
"You found a horse?" she asked,smirking lightly..
"Of course. I can't have my empress walking on a dirt road,now,can I?"
With a blush,she simply nodded a "thank you",and mounted onto the horse,hugging to his hips...
