Obsidian
Astrid’s perspective
As the full moon rose and ancient street lamps lit up for the night, Astrid nervously walked the sidewalk eight blocks from her home. She was nervous because she had never been out walking at midnight by herself, but at Peppers Steak House her boyfriend Brice had broken up with her and taken off in his green Kia Soul which was also her ride home. He had said to her disgust babe when I was in Texas a couple weeks ago on vacation I found a woman named Becca who is far more beautiful then you so I’m breaking up with you and moving to Texas to be with her and he even made her pay the bill. She knew she should have called an uber, but she didn’t feel like crying in front of a stranger. As she walked she heard rustling in the rose bushes and wished she could walk faster, but she was wearing pinchy black heels that were at least four inches, a tight black dress that showed off her curves, and a black shawl that barely kept her warm in the crisp December air. The rustling continued as she walked; it was like it was following. Then it leaped out at her and she saw it was a bunny, but fear had consumed her she screamed, took off her shoes and ran with the bunny hopping behind her. She ran until she had slammed her front door behind her and then she sunk down to the floor crying she had been stupid to believe Brice was the one and because of her stupidity she had wasted eight months with him.
When she woke in the morning she groaned and realized she was still on the ground by her front door. She slowly got up and headed to the kitchen. She knew she had to be at work in thirty minutes, but she didn’t care if she was late. It was just the stupid golden arches where she flipped burgers for people she would never know or want to know. She had coffee and then put on her uniform and then got into her beater black ford moving at the pace of a lamb being led to slaughter. When she walked into work everyone looked at her like she was a creature from a horror movie and she realized she had forgotten to remove her smeared mascara and she had not brushed her hair. She gave everyone a smile thinking to herself one day the space academy will accept me and I'll be flying through space, but for now she headed back to the kitchen and got to flipping burgers.
As she drove home from McDonald's eight hours later she saw a flash in the darkening sky and she sped up feeling uneasy. Then just as she saw her one story little pale white farmhouse come into view her car suddenly began to lift off the ground. She leapt out of her car and cringed when her knees scraped up on the sidewalk. She got up and ran, but then suddenly she realized her feet were no longer on the ground. She screamed in terror as the ground became smaller and smaller and when she looked up she saw with terror a metallic blue dome with pale blue lights shining over every inch of it and she fainted.
Prince Ash’s perspective
Ash gazed upon the long lost queen of the planet Obsidian as she was brought aboard by his servants. She was more beautiful than stories had said she would be. Her long midnight black hair fell down her back like a waterfall, her skin was as pale as porcelain, and he imagined her eyes were probably a stormy blue, but he would have to wait until she woke up. He told his servants to take her to his bedroom and help her into the silkiest sleep wear they could find and then come back to him when they were finished so he could go sit by her bedside and watch over her. He had found her through his invention he called the frezo meter which would pick up on Obsidian's body temperature which was twenty two degrees. He had cared about finding her because the Obsidians had always helped his kind the Icopics and he knew if he hadn't found her the evils would have eventually found and killed her and then they would also have destroyed her real home Obsidian, but now that he had her he would make sure the evils never succeeded.
Astrid’s perspective
When Astrid opened her eyes she shrieked because there was a strange man looking at her. He had ice blue skin, pure white eyes, white octopus tentacles that acted as hair, and ice blue spikes protruding from his back. He said, "it's okay, you're safe”. Astrid took a few breaths to calm her racing heart and then said, “who are you? And where the hell am I?”. He said, “You're in my ship the Galacer and I am Prince Ash, but you can just call me Ash, I'm sorry I scared you. I thought you remembered who you are...
