Prompt: Fragments

Pen name: Legna989

Pairing: Bella

Rating: K+

Fragments

Shards. Splinters. Cracks in red relief.

Growling, snarling. Chaos. Sudden quiet.

Celebration ended.

Pinch. Numb.

Plink, plink, plink. Sharp edges caught in the light.

Tugging, pulling. Clip. Neat rows of black. White bandage.

Match strike. Sulfur in the air. Surprise, apology. Crystal refracting fire. Ash.

Tossing, turning. Ache, heat. Cold comfort.

Strain, tension, things unsaid. Thoughts swirling, confused and afraid.

Reassurances on unhearing ears. Absent affections.

Polite request. Warning bells. Always anything he wants.

Canopy of trees. Filtered light. Shadows and dark spots.

Warm honey turned to cold topaz. Gone.

Love, life, meaning… over.

Branches, twigs breaking underfoot.

My heart.

Thanks, as always, to ElleCC for being my beta, cheerleader and an all-around amazing person.

There are some words I borrowed directly from Stephenie; hers are better than mine.
