Entry 2, Poem


i stare.
i stare into this dark pit of oblivion.
i stare, and i wait.
wait for somting, anything to happen.
i stare and wait, wait and stare,
and yet, i still see nothing.
ive been waiting for centuries.
staring into this five sided pool of swirling black smoke.
waiting for anything
a bubble, a ripple.
then it hits me.
i laugh and cry, but never make a sound.
ive been a fool.
ive been looking down and staring, and never looked around
i look up.
and i see what ive been waiting for.
the perfection.
the eyes.
the smile.
i look up,
and i see you.
you open your arms, and i rush to you.
your arms close around me,and mine around you
i cry tears of joy!
then i stopped crying,feel nothing.
i look up, see nothing.
so i go back to stare into the pool of blackness you come from
i go back to my torture
i got to wait for another century,
just so that i may hold you again.
i love you, and i will never stop.

2nd Entry ~ Story

Shy Girl, Small World

Alone in her dark room as always, laid Pennilia upon her bed. A beautiful, soft caramel skinned, long brunette haired, maiden. She had so many great personalities that anyone could easily love. Her only problem was that she was shy and not many people knew of her because of that. She lived deep down into the depths of an unknown forest. No one ever goes as far into the forest where she lived. They feared what may lay ahead of them. Anyways, still laying upon her bed, Pennilia daydreamed about being free from herself and openning up to the world. Little did she know someone was about to make that dream come true. On a majestic steed rode a handsome young man through the forest. His brown silk like, short-cut hair, blew in the wind as he smiled with the whitest teeth in the kingdom. Who was this boy and where was he going in these forests where no one dared venture?

Pennilia sighed as she slowly got off her bed and walked toward the door. She grabbed her long velvet coat and her basket made out of vines. She set out into the forest to pick fruits and flowers, as she liked doing constantly. She sat in a meadow surrounded by trees and flowers in the middle of the great forest. As she held a purple rose to her nose, she suddenly heard a horse approaching. She thought she was hearing things, until she saw someone in the distance. Pennilia ran behind a tree where she glanced at the approaching person. The boy that was riding through the forest earlier appeared into Pennilia's view as he stormed out of the trees into the meadow on his horse. Nervously, she stepped back, tripping backwards onto a twig that snapped as she fell on it. The boy saw and he pulled on the horse's reins, signaling it to halt. He jumped off, as he ran over to her. "Are you ok?" he asked as he held his hand out toward her. In shock, Pennilia fainted leaving a confused look on the boys face.

He lifted her up to notice she was quite light, as he then carried her into the forest, making it to an open area as it got dark. He set her down by his horse that decided to rest. Leaving her there after setting her coat over her, he got wood and started a fire as he would set up a resting area. An hour later as he was sitting by the fire roasting potatoes, Pennilia slowly woke up. She looked around to realize where she was. About to scream, she covered her mouth as she saw the boy from earlier. He looked over at her to see that she finally awoke. "Hey there sleepy head." he teased. Unable to speak due to her shyness, she stood up, bowed then ran away. "Wait!" the boy yelled as she disappeared into the darkness. She had left her coat. "Such a weird girl.." he thought to himself as he took a bite of his potatoe. Minutes later he was asleep under the moon by his horse as Pennilia was still roaming the forest, now lost. Scared, she kept running until she fell by a lake side, as she grew unconscious.

Later in the morning as the boy was already awake and searching for water, he stumbled upon Pennilia again. She was covered in mud and dirt with her hair flowing around in the water where her head was rested in. He picked her up again as she awoke in his arms. Her eyes widdened and she fell. "Ugh, You should be more careful around here." he said to her. She started to dust herself off, still nervous from being around another person. "Are you lost?" he asked her as she then turned her head away slowly. "Well I can't just leave you out here, why don't you tag along with me?" he suggested. "I just have to do a few things and I'll take you back to where you live, Ok?" he said as he got his water and set it in the luggage saddled upon the horse. Pennilia didn't say anything, but she got up and stood there, not running away like she did before. "Well, My names Kupo, nice to meet you!" he said with a smile on his face. "Whats your name?" he asked as Pennilia looked down. "You do have a name, right?" he said as he tilted his head slightly with confusion on his face. She nodded. "You seem very shy." he teased in a nice way. "Well you don't have to be afraid, I'm a nice guy." he said smiling again. "There's suppose to be a river up ahead, you can clean up there." he said as he gathered all his stuff, ready to go.
They walked through the forest until they neared the river that was in a little area surrounded by trees with a waterfall leading into it. "Ugh," the boy said rubbing the back of his head. "I'll be a few trees from here, it won't be hard to find me. Just come back when your done." he said then smiling again as he took his horses into the forest. Pennilia walked down to the river, almost relieved now that they boy wasn't near her. She undressed, as she then began washing her clothes and laying them in the sun to dry upon a rock. Slowly, she walked into the river, getting deeper and deeper until she reached the middle. She started washing herself in the warm, cool, refreshing water.

It turned sunset and Pennilia hasn't returned to Kupo yet. Wondering what she's doing so long, he got up from sharpening his knife and set out to the river. He saw the back of her head, as she was still in the river. She slowly stood up, the water now to her waist now. Her body glistened with the water in the sunset. Blushing slightly and shocked, stood Kupo there, stunned by her beautiful body. Snapping out of it, he stepped back, crushing a dried up leaf, catching Pennilia's attention. Nervous and embarrassed, she went under the river's waters. "S-Sorry" he yelled toward her, then noticing that she wasn't getting up for a long while. He rushed to the river, taking off his boots and shirt, as he jumped in and swam toward where she was. He dived under to search for her. Pennilia, already out of the river, had swam to shore to where her clothes were, as she began to put them on. Sitting on the rock, she watched him still looking for her in the river. Catching his breath, startled at what has happened, he stood in the middle of the river looking around. He saw Pennilia sitting there on the rock, watching him. With a -.- expression, he walked out of the river, as he also glistened. As he walked toward her, she giggled. "That's not funny, you had me worried!" he said in a mildly upset way. She giggled again, then hiding mouth with her hands. Kupo thought her giggle was cute and he put what just happened behind. "We wasted most of the day but we can still go ahead until we find another place to rest." Kupo said, putting his shirt back on. They walked for a few hours making it to the next area where they would rest. They hadn't said a word since what happened back at the river. Dark now, by the fire, sat Kupo as Pennilia was fast asleep on a green sleeping bag that Kupo had carried with him.

After 2 more days of traveling through the forest, Pennilia still not having said a word, and Kupo nearly running out of food; they stummbled upon a house up ahead. Pennilia gasps at the sight of her house. Thinking she was frightened, Kupo said, "Don't be afraid, this is where I'm suppose to find my sister. I've been searching for her after I heard she existed someone out here." Surprised and shocked, Pennilia fainted by him as he caught her. Being so close to his destination, Kupo carried Pennilia toward the house. The door was open and he let himself in. He laid Pennilia on a purple couch by the door. "Hello!" he yelled, so anxious to meet his sister. Guessing that she wasn't home, he toured around the house out of curiousity. He grew extremely shocked when he saw a photo of her. It looked just like the girl he was with the whole time. Kupo fell to his knees as he pulled out a locket from around his neck, with the name Pennilia in it. "Is that her name? How could this be? Is she my sister?" he went on questioning himself. He walked back to Pennilia as he then carried her to her room where he put her to rest in her bed. He sat in a chair by her, watching her as she laid there unconcious.

A few moments later, she budged, starting to awake. She slowly openned her eyes to see Kupo over her. Her eyes widened as he smiled at her. She closed her eyes again. "Oh no you don't!" he said as he started shaking her. With a >.< expression, she pushed him off her gently. "Your name is Pennilia?" he asked staring at her. Wondering how he knew her name with her never telling him, she got up from her bed. "Is it?" he asked again. Looking away slightly, she said "Yes..". He rushed and hugged her, sending shivers down her spine, as she's never been hugged before. "I've found you! My dear sister! I found you at last!" he said with happiness in his remarkable voice. "I must take you back to the kingdom at once, you may stay with me." he joyfully said as he headed toward the door in her room. Pennilia grabbed his arm, stopping him, as he turned around and looked at her. Building up the courage, she spoke. "Kupo.. I- I've never been out of this forest, I'm scared to leave. I don't want to leave, It's my home now." she said then looking down. Shocked that she spoke and how lovely her voice was, he was unsure of what to say for the moment. Finally, he said "But, I just found you..." with sadness in his voice. "You can stay if you want." she forced herself to say, "I have an extra room.." she said with a warm smile. Regaining his happiness, he gladly accepted. Luckily he had packed extra clothes incase something happened or he would be gone longer.

Over time, they spend time together getting to know each other more. Hanging around the forest, going for swims, eating lunch together and much more. Thank to Kupo, Pennilia was no longer shy around him. They grew very fond of each other. This was the happiest they've been in a very long time.

Years later, Kupo brought Pennilia to the kingdom. Not knowing they were related, jealous girls quickly disliked her being around Kupo. The Princess, Madame Cornilia, greatly loved the handsome Kupo, and greatly disliked him being around Pennilia. Since Pennilia was very pretty, the princess was even more jealous than any other girl in the kingdom. The princess had Pennilia brought back into the forest and killed while Kupo was invited to her palace for dinner. He really enjoyed it and when he went home to tell Pennilia of the fun he had, she wasn't there. Knowing his sister, she would never leave the house without him, so that made him very worried. He ran back to the Cornilia's palace to tell her that his sister was missing. "Sister?" said the princess is shock and fear. She had no idea that Pennilia was his sister and now she felt extremely guilty for what she had did. "Sorry, I cannot help you." she said as she walked down the halls of the palace, getting farther away from him. As he was about to leave from the palace, a young girl grabbed his arm. "I know where you sister is" she said. "Really? Where?" Kupo said with hope filling up his heart. "The princess ordered for her to be brought into the forest and killed.." said the girl trying to break it softly to him. "W-what.." replied Kupo as tears began filling up his eyes. "No! Why would she do that to my sister?" he said trying to deny it. "Out of jealousy" the girl replied. Filled with such sorrow and anger now, he yelled out into the palace, "YOU HEARTLESS WITCH! YOU KILLED MY SISTER!" as he then ran out, tears rushing down his face now. He went into the forest searching for his sister's body, hoping she wasn't dead.

Kupo then stumbled upon his sister's body, which he saw floating in the river. He jumped in with all his clothes on, not wasting a moment to save her. Carefully lifting her body out of the water, he sat on the same rock from years ago, with her across his lap. Gently, he stroked her cheek that was still warm, as he remembered the time when she sat on that rock giggling. He would never forget her laugh, her smile, or her voice. It all stayed floating along his memories. Still sitting on the rock, tears still rolling down his cheeks, his sister still in his lap, he did something. He kissed her soft pink lips.

The next day, he burried her in a bronze coffin with her favorite flowers surrounding it, right next to her house in the forest. He was the only one there at her funeral, having so many regrets, he said his apologiez, his memories, and everything else he wanted to let go before he bursted into tears. "I should of never brought you to the kingdom, I was so stupid. Look what I did to you.." he blamed himself as he kneeled by the coffin sobbing. Magically, out of nowhere, a gentle warm light appeared floating by him, as he then felt a hand touch his shoulder. He looked up at it to see the spirit of his sister standing beside him. "Please don't blame yourself, don't live with this guilt upon you. You made me so happy when I met you and everytime you were by my side, I remained happy. Now, it's my turn to stay by your side and make you happy. I would never truely leave you, as long as I remain in your heart." she finished as she began to fade away into the sun. Hearing that, Kupo felt a bit better as he went back to the kingdom. He started packing all of his stuff, as he has decided to move into Pennilia's forest house.

Two days later he is completely moved in and hoping for a better life. He's close to his sister now because he knows she will always be with him. From that day, he's always lived there alone, even though he never felt lonely.

Fin.
