Prompt/challenge you're answering: * Chane and Rinali as the main characters in a fairy tale.
She wasn’t sure how the girl had found her.
She certainly hadn’t heard her; Chane’s voice had been stilled in her throat for a long time. But one morning she’d looked up and the girl had been curled in the corner of the wide window, her back against the cut stone and her body a slender black arch, dark hair brushing her cheek.
Her eyes had been very wide. She was beautiful, and gravely quiet, and she and Chane studied each other for long moments, curious and at a loss for words.
Then one of her guards shouted from below, his voice a warped and incomprehensible mumble, and the visitor—slim in her night-soft dark, not like the dusty and twisted funeral black of the imprisoners—twisted to look, widened her eyes, and was gone in a flit of movement into the sky.
Chane ran to the window and stared after her into the sky, heart twisting hungrily inside of her. The wind pulled at her hair, stroked chilly fingers down the heavy river of it, and the mountains yawned before her with jaggedly inviting grins, trees stirring in pine-green whispering soldier rows.
There was no way that she could have gone but up, and the sky was clean washed and blue and shining.
