This was my goal, to try and get away from poetry and do a fiction piece - accomplished by friday but n finished…
Let me know if it makes you want more and what else you find that can be improved
Title - ENEMY LIGHTS
The sound of noisy birds flying in the sky, at high sight vivid green trees surrounding waterfalls, strong stream falling into the river. Rivers color is thick, from red blood — it sits, silent and still… standing under the falling flow, a naked woman with long black hair that covers her breasts. Crystal clear fresh force gushes down the rocks on her body, but her feet in the blood river… the daylight starts to diminish, a cold wind blowing…the naked woman starts to hum a rhythmic melody in a high pitch tone. The sound is comforting she points ahead, three small balls of light from across the river glide slowly closer to the woman. The naked woman - still is pointing, humming. The woman suddenly disappears. Were did she go? The boy is wondering while he still hides in the trees across the river. He is trembling in fear he can’t move, he is frozen! He suddenly feels a strong grip holding him tight and a cold hand covering his mouth. He tried to scream, make a sound, nothing was coming out… he is numb with fear!
“SHHHHHHHHHH, Don’t make a sound, don’t… they will get you if you do” The sound of a woman’s voice whispering into his ear. Her wet cold body slowly turns him to face her, ”Follow me, your kind must survive” She takes her hand slowly off the boys mouth and he slowly opens his eyes to see her. She smiles at him, her eyes gentle and warm.
“Who are you?” the boy asks
“ I am part of you” She reply’s
The boy looks at her,
“Part of me? What do you mean?”
The woman holds his hand and starts to lead the way into the forest.
“ I know you even from before you were born,”
She touches his face,
“ We knew you where coming, even from before your mum was born… we are the Protos”
As they walk forth, the boy looks behind, water was raising up behind them, but, where did it come from? Its like an Ocean… It is sheltering them from site.
“Oh the water “ shouts the boy!
SHHHHH, it is part of us don’t fear it, you have much to learn…
She walked so gracefully, an aura of strength about her the boy thought, like women warriors he had seen in films…Yet, she was almost gliding across, her feet made no sound on the ground she tread on, twigs and dry crispy leaves made no crunch as her bare feet step on them. She’s tall, slender and has sharp mannerisms, yet was naked thought the boy… no weapons, swords, bow or arrows…how would she fight? If needed to… the boy looked at her. Still, he felt somehow strangely at ease.
She looked at him, “ Weapons don’t solve they create. If something comes to our path, you will be safe…that I can guarantee you!” she says looking at the boy.
“What? I don’t understand” the boy looks puzzled and frowns.
She strokes his head, “ you were thinking I have no weapons”
The boy stops still, “You can read my mind?” he says in a low tone voice, his lips hardly moving!
She kneels down “Yes, I can.” She picks him up, “Now, put your arms around me, hold me tight and close your eyes, no questions. We shall regain this conversation at a later time. I give you, JI VA lA’s word in life”
What is JI VA LA? Asks the boy,
“My name,” She says with a smile. She places his feet around her waist and covers him with her long hair, she embraces him tightly as she walks forth. Tall mountain rocks standing tall in front of her, she sings in that high pitch voice, the rocks go from dark grey to light brown... holding the boy she walks straight into the rocks as if it were liquid. They disappear.
