Colours of Life

“Do you think she’s alive?” A little girl rabbit said. She started to poke it with a twig she had found lying beside her. “Stop it darling, you don’t want to anger it!” pulling away the little rabbit from me. “Hmm… she should be nearly awake from about… now!” Al-mi’raj shouted. He then grabbed a bowl of water and splashed it across my body. I didn’t want to wake up, I was having a pleasant sleep so I squirmed and then fell asleep again. “Ekisha, wiggle your nose up her ear see if she will wake up again.” “Ok Daddy!” she giggled. She creaped up near me and placed her nose in my ear. It tickles and my ear twitched, I couldn’t help but laugh as the little whiskers from the little rabbits nose touched my ear. “Awake yet?” Al-mi’raj asked me. “No.” I rolled away from them trying to ignore them. “Ekisha how about this time you do it in her nose.” “Ok!” she giggled once again. “No please don’t! I will wake up just give me a second!” I exclaimed. “Do it just in case” Al-mi’raj told Ekisha. She came up to the otherside of me and tickled my nose, I had no way of stopping it and I needed to sneeze. “Stop! Stop! I surrender!” “Will you wake up this time?” “Yes, jus.. jus.. stop…” I sneezed I couldn’t hold it in. The sneeze was ear shattering and the little girl in front of me got quite a scare. Ekisha ran inside into her mum’s comfort. “Great, now I’m going to have a blocked nose all day thanks to you.” “Well it was no problem, glad to of helped you.”  “You know I don’t really like your sarcasm.” “Do you want your lights out again?” “No… But still I don’t like it.” “I still don’t like you coming onto my land.” “Ok, look I am looking for someone.” “Don’t tell me, tell me when we get somewhere private.” “Ok then, lead the way.” I got up from the ground and started to follow Al-mi’raj to wherever he was leading me.

We reached a giant Oak tree. It seemed to have some mythical presence about it, like it was the life of this forest. It stood over us like a mountain, it was  grand and lush green, it stood out in this forest, since the forest was all dark and spooky. Somehow you didn’t have that feel here, you felt safe and secure, if was like there was a wall guarding us from all the spooky forces from the forest. As we reached the trunk of the tree Al-mi’raj gestured for me to stand back.

“Wow…” I gasped, with utter amazement. Branches twisted and bent, the trunk creaking and groaning. Branches came from every direction, swooping down onto us, it seemed to of been making something, it kind of looked like stairs but I wasn’t sure as of yet. “Woah!” I screamed as the branch fell in front me, right where I once stood. “Close call, don’t ya’ think?” “Oh you haven’t even got the worst of it, in fact I would start running.” “Why…” Then out of the corner of my eye I saw a branch swooping right towards us. “Stay still…”  Al-mi’raj implied. “Wait, what, no way I’m out of… Woah…hooooo!” I was swooped up by the branch, lying on my back screaming high into the sky. “This is so Fun!” Al-mi’raj was just beside me acting like he has done it all the time and somehow not even being pushed by the force behind us. My body lingered deeper into the branch like a squirrel burrowing into a bush. “Weeee!” “Fillies…” Al-mi’raj mumbled with a sarcastic tone. “Put your hands up it more fun this way!” Of course he wasn’t listening he just stood there stern and sturdy. Who would know how he did it but fun was more important at the moment. We were swaying side to side like if we were on a rollercoaster. We were being thrown in all directions yet I was still being pushed back into the branch. The joy it brung just made me feel like a filly all over again and it brought happiness into my eyes. I remembered the day at my first theme park, the fun I had with all the other fillies. What I would do to have such fun again. But of course I was on a mission and that mission was to stop Trixie and her soul snatching. Although the heat of the moment was this, who would care if the world was taken over, I was having so much fun! Then suddenly I felt something, a tingly feeling coming from my tail. I looked over to see what it was, my colours were coming back. The joy I was having must have been affecting my soul within, maybe it was because of the memories I had when I was a filly maybe it had some sort of effect. I started to think of memories I had as a filly, imaging the times I had with Mom and Dad. Although something seemed wrong, they didn’t feel real. They felt like they never happened. Was this possible, why couldn’t I remember my parents. The colour disappeared again, leaving me tone black and white. “Hphm…” The ride was nearly over it seemed, it started to slow down heading towards a hollow in the trunk. “Aww.. that was so fun! Can we go again?” “Why sure just let me know how you plan to get down.” “Umm… fly, oh right I can’t.” Al-mi’raj laughed with a tone that said ‘Told you so.’ I couldn’t be bothered to make a comeback, I just wanted to find out what was in store inside.
