Common

We walked together, side by side, our tails would flick and smack each other randomly. It was a reassurance that we were together, even though we were missing a piece of our soul. Alecto, the middle sister, had perished a few months before we had left. And now, it was just us two. Light and Dark, opposites as ever. Alecto was a mixture of us, light patched with darks blended in. She had been the perfect blend of us. She had the perfect nature, kind and sweet all in all, and now we were missing a piece of us. We’d make it, one way or another.

Tisi bumped her shoulder against Mega, watching her sister out of the side of her head. Mega, on the other hand, ignored her little sister. Tisi was the sweet one of the two of them, Mega, they called heartless, evil. In the eyes of others, Tisi would be the perfect white queen, and Mega would be the red queen. They loved each other, don’t get her wrong, but there was only so much she could take before the young spirited girl would make things to hard to deal with.

They walked, silently, through the long grasses, the sights of the commons spreading out before them. They doubted they’d find a homes together, but that’s not what they were after. Mega knew that they needed to have space, but Tisi wasn’t ready for that. But she’d have to be, because Mega wouldn’t be there forever. But they’d see how it went. Tisi didn’t really understand what the commons was, but Mega knew, they’d be here to find a home. Someone would claim one or both of them. Whether or not they’d go together was up in the air still.
