Thoughts

[~CORAL~]

I sigh for the umptieth time, unable to concentrate on the book I was reading. I close the book, collapsing into the wall of pillows behind me, another sigh breaks out of me and I toss the book to the side and close my eyes, letting my mind drift off to an endless plane.

Mother's words play subtly in my mind, drifting like a cloud in the silent dark. My mind becomes a place I’m trapped in and suddenly I start to feel lonely in my own thoughts.

My nostrils tingle and my eyes peel open as I catch a certain scent in my room, “Kiara?”

A hitched breath makes me smile as I sit up, locking eyes with her as she stood frozen in the middle of my room like a statue with her hands clamped against her mouth. I sigh, shaking my head at her ludicrous antic.

“Aw, I almost had you.” She confesses sulkily.

“Yeah, right… you didn’t even attempt to hide your scent, did you think you were going to scare me if you sneaked up on me?”

“Your senses are just too sharp.”
