"AMBER!" Moon called out before tripping on a root and falling. "NO!" She cried out desperately. She heard something as she looked up to see what it was. There was a clearing in the woods and she instinctively got up and started running to it. She knew Amber was there.
She got to the clearing and saw Amber there laying down. Moon realized that Amber was hurt. Moon ran to Amber and knelt down. She put Amber's head in her lap as she started to stroke Amber's hair. " A-A-A-Amber?" Mood stuttered as she was fighting the tears that were forming in her eyes.
"That would be me" Amber responded in a soft, calm voice.
"Oh shut up" Moon let out a little chuckle and smiled at the joke Amber made but she couldn't stop the tears from falling anymore
"Moon, don't worry about me," Amber smiled as she told Moon "I'll be fine, trust me ok?" Amber was trying to not make Moon worry about her.
"B-b-but I always worry about you," Moon paused for a second, taking in a shuddering breath trying to stop the tears as she continued " you're my best friend and, one of my only ones too. You can't go on me, please." Moon told Amber with a pleading voice " Y-y-y-you just can't go, I still need you. Please, I begge you, please stay." Moon's voice was cranky as the tears fell down her face regardless of her objection.
"Moon, please don't worry. I know you want me to be with you and I do too, but, I can't. It's not my decision to. You got to understand that." Amber told Moon in a soft soothing voice as she started to slowly disappear.
"B-b-but how w-will I-I-I make i-i-it w-w-without y-y-you?" Moon asked Amber stuttering over her words, tears pouring out of her eyes as she couldn't part with Amber.
"Here, Moon, this is for you…" Amber was giving Moon something. It slowly appeared out of thin air.
"Wha-t" Moon asked confusedly in a whisper voice will she start to tremble.
"Go on. Take it already. I want to see you open it." Amber said to Moon in a soft and joking voice.
"O-k?" Moon was confused but she did as Amber said and reached out for what looked like a little box. Moon was trembling as she opened it. It was a beautiful ring with words carved in it. " Always believe and you shall see the truth" it said.
"F-f for me?" Moon was still trembling.
"Yes. *smiles*. I'll always be with you, I'll follow you when I'm a spirit. Don't worry. I'll alway be by your side" and in that moment Dark Amber faded.
"I will Dark Amber." Moon exclaimed softly. She returned to the sea and every day she went on the land and explored like Amber was with her every step of the way… but what other challenges will she face? What optical will she have to overcome? She has yet to find her real family, and will she?
