                          Different


Thorwen Kingdom : [Village, near Dark Forest ]

'You're different'

'I know I'm awesome !'

'Noo..... you're weird'

'Well...., I'm officially offended now.'

Mary took a pause from what she was doing. The rough mountain wind made her brown locks quite a mess. But she don't care. It was a beautiful day. Birds chirping, wind blowing , foggy weather and symphony of the wild stream below the mountain. Heaven.

Mary twitched her eyebrows at her young and usual companion. Putting her hands on her hips she intensified her gaze on Pit. Tilting her head on the right side she spoke

'Explain.'

Pit was nervous till now. A twelve years beautiful boy. Brown head. and a mischievous yet loyal friend.

'Like girls of your age likes sweing, works of houses, gossiping on the garden at village and most importantly ogling those attractive farmers. But you are different. You like horse riding, swimming,  catching fish and mountaining. umm..why!?  '

'That's why they aren't my friends' Mary Sighs.

'That wasn't the question Mary.'

' Oh yes.  So that would be another I don't know .'

' But there must be some answer for it'

Mary now sits beside pit.

' I was always like this. I don't like doing homely stuffs and those gossips ugh!!  Once I tried to join them. They were saying about John that farmer guy... you remember ?'

Pit nodded.

' Like John have an affair with Leela and they kissed near  the dark forest and how she's slut for doing so , Which I don't agree. Then I suddenly said 'Oh John can ride horse so well, he moves like wind'  and suddenly all of those gazes were at me. They seemed so disturbed by my comment.'

Suddenly Pit broke off laughing. And the mountains gulps his sounds successfully.

'That was the horrible story of me gossiping' Mary added between Pit's laugh.

'You're weird' He laughed harder.

'They are weird'

'How so ?'

'They don't have anything nice to say about anything'

'That's what gossiping about.'

'Who are they to judge them ( John and Leela)  in this big Universe ? Who are we to judge ?'

Silence

'But your mom don't know.'

'About what?  Me failing in gossiping ?'

' Noo *Chuckles* about these horse riding and stuffs'

'Yeah She will be mad at me'

'She should.'

Mary stares at pit with narrow eyes.

'What if she came to know about these?' Pit said without looking at Mary.

'Who will tell her ? no one knows.'


'I know'

'You will not tell her' Mary faces Pit. But he was still looking far away.  Like he was trying to write a poetry. But Mary knows it was his well-known plan to get some sweets for him.

'I can.'

'No you can't. You will get your sweets soon.' Mary said while lifting herself from the ground.

'You know me so well, Mary' Pit grinned looking up at Mary.

'Yeah you are a Bad Boy,  Pit' Mary said while Unbuckling the horse.

' You know that stolen right ?' Pit shouted.

' Shhh.... I know.' Mary warned pit.

He smiled slyly.

'What you need now!?'

'You are going dark forest right ? then bring those fruits,'

Mary knows which fruits he wants. They don't know the name but those fruits only grows in dark forest and those are the sweetest thing on earth. She one brought those with her and she and Pit shared Although he snatched most from her . He was referring to those fruits. They call Death Berries , cause they are black in color. It's not easy to bring those death berries. They only grow on the mountain sides and there are numerous numbers of bees protecting Death Berries. She remembers, last time when she brought those one bee stung her at her arm and she had to lie to her mother saying that it was when she was sleeping on the ground near the big tree. She used her Catapult to shoot those berries. As she never misses the target she makes them fall easily on the ground but the collecting part is where the bees attacked her. This time it will be easier cause she have the horse with her.

Horse,  which pit stole from the farm for Mary . She believes it was not easy for him either. They will return it Silently after Mary's adventure. It was not his first time doing something this crazy for Mary. That makes them partners in crime. A Nineteen years old girl and a twelve years old boy and the deadly combination which half of the village was unknown with. They were Sleek.

'Bonus for the horse' He pointed at the horse.

' Yeah Okay what ever. you will get your Death Berries '

' Yessss !!!' Pit screams in Joy.

Mary Screams yessss ! inside. Adventure .

'Bye ! Sweet tooth' Mary shakes her hand. Now on top of the horse. 'See you later'

She was quite well now in horse riding. Thanks to Pit. His Father have a horse farm and often Mary practices on the ground near the farm but they don't have permission on bringing horses on the mountain. That's why Pit stole the horse from farm today.
Mary's favorite one. The Black one. She calls it Autumn. Pit and she argued over her name but then pit defeated near Mary As usually . Mary says , riding her feels like season of Autumn to her. And that day the black horse became Autumn from number 42. She becames Mary's Autumn .

' Bye Weirdo' Pit calls.

New name for her . Mary ignores the comment.

'Don't tell Mother okay?'

'I'll think about that' Pit yelled.

But Mary was far now. So much far to hear Pit's voice. She headed towards the black forest to fulfill her another wild dream. Winds becomes more rough.

rough, rough,  rougher.

She becomes free,  free, more free.
