Lumiere

• Artist: Kakogawa
• Description: This story was inspired by the Lumiere item and was entered in a contest to win one but the guy decided to just not give away his items in the end. So this is what I came up with and even had time to draw pictures along with it : D
  My writing skills aren't the best so please bare with me...
  I plan on writing more short story tales about other items here on Gaia and eventually start composing stories for my OC's.
  Hope you enjoy ~

I was caught in the rain that day
and decided to take a shortcut
home. The rain was falling heavier
each minute and I could barley see.
I found my self lost in the woods,
but I continued to walk along the path.
Suddenly I came across an
abandoned church.














I knocked a couple of times but
no one seemed to be inside.
Luckily the door wasn't locked so
I quietly walked in and sat down hoping
to stay only for a couple of minutes until
the rain dies down.
The church looked very old. It must have
been years since anyone has been in here.
Outside the rain continued to fall, the sound of each
drop was so soothing and calm.
I could'nt help but fall asleep.



(Whispers. Cries. Sniffles.)
The sound of someone crying
deep within the building woke
me up. It was dark out and the
rain had stopped. I stood up and wandered around
to see if I could find the person crying.
The darkness covered everything around me, but something
about it made me feel calm and less frightened. I began
following the shadows into the depths of the church uncontrollably.


A glimps of light sparkled from afar.
My heart began to beat faster as I ran towards
the light feeling something light up inside me.
I didn't understand what was happening and
had no control but I felt like I needed to be here, I
I had to reach him, see him. Hold him.

Suddenly I felt someone hold my hand for a moment
but the darkeness kept me from seeing
who it was. A trail of white puddles left behind
was all I can see below, leading further into
the darkness.

The trail disappeared,
leaving me no other direction to turn to.
I felt empty, sad and abandoned.
As if someone dear to me was lost...
The light from before had vanished as well.
Did it disappear? Will it come back?
(A tear ran down her cheek)

A beam of light shined from
all corners of the room. I opened my eyes and stood inside a


brightly lit room with elegant designs plastered all over the walls.
I thought to myself, was I still in the same old church.
I held my hands infront of me, looking over at my reflection
from across a window. I was wearing
an elegant waredrobe I didn't have on before.
I was scared and confused until the light appeared again,
gracefully descending from above.
My heart was at ease once I looked into it..
The light then transformed infront of me into boy!

He grabed my hand and we began to dance.
Not one word was spoken, our movements
spoke for us. It all went by so quickly that the sun had already began
to shine. What was going through my mind had me wondering
who this boy was, but nothing else in this world matter as long as I was with him.

We stopped dancing, the rain began again. He stepped
back smiling as he let go of my hand, withering
away slowly into air saying, " I've been trying to find you all this time. . ."

The light in the room slowly turned down as I watched him disappear into the darkness in the form of small shining shards of light." “When it is dark enough, you can see the stars...."

(drip)

I open my eyes and found myself standing in front of the church doors.
The rain storm had passed and the sun was finally out.
I closed the church doors behind me and continued
on my way home.

"Maybe I'll come visit some other night!"
