Knight in Shining Armor

[Kiara Johnson]

((Nothing to do with HP, but I thought you might enjoy))


As I lay, in the room I once called my own but is now not but a guest room in a house I no longer live in.  I stare up into the ceiling, my eyes not focused on any particular object, just simply thinking of times past when I would wait there, for Josh and Chris to come in and save me from my boredom.  I remember how I would lay and wait for the tinkling sound of tiny peddles to dance down the windowsill of my room, announcing their arrival and as I waited, my eyes would sometimes begin to close and often I would fall off into the darkness of sleep, as it was often late into the night when they would finally arrive.  Even in that sleep however, I would somehow hear the tinkling sound, a small but warm and welcoming sound to my ears.  I would sit up, the blankets still nuzzled loosely about my lap, and open the window and smile, as the two boys would crawl up and into the room, smiles on their 14-year-old faces each one looking as though they were up to something, as they usually were and I would sit on the edge of my bed until they would finish speaking a small greeting, one of which they always said.

Tonight wasn't much different, as I lay in the bed I once called my own, I heard the tinkling sound of old and a smile turned up the corners of my lips and I near jumped to the end of the bed and threw the window open and there, standing with the most smug grin on his face, was my best friend, Josh.

Chris of course would not be with him; I knew though instinctively my eyes searched, to find no one.  My smile did not leave however; as Chris had gone off to live in another world separate from the one we still lead on our own now, three Musketeers made two.  As sad as my heart wants to make this, I know as well, it is as it should have always perhaps been, just the two, Josh and Kiara, together forever, best friends that a world of desires and deceit could never separate.

He climbed up and through the open window and looked at me, sitting on the end of the bed and his grin grew wider.  I opened my mouth to say a greeting to him, but he placed a chilled finger on my lips to still my words and I grinned again, knowing what was to come.

"Greetings to my little Angel, my best friend and girl of everyone's dreams.  I come to you in the late night to offer you some warmth and comfort from your dreams."  He began, the words 'I' and 'my' being the replacements for 'we' and 'our'.  He then looked, I believe more out of tradition than any other reason, to his right, something he would have done, as Chris's part would come next, he frowned, as I did, but then turned his lips up once more and he continued, leaving out what would have been the third Musketeer's moment to shine.  "I will join you in your sleep, holding you till the morning when I must again part, no monsters under the bed, not a demon in the night to make you scream."  Then as he finished speaking, I grinned as he began to untie his shoes, I then spoke my bit as I crawled back to the head of my bed.  "What delights I find in my room at night, a comfort not known without you, my best friend, my savior from the night is always welcome, and this little girl could certainly use a knight in shining armor such as the likes of you."  I ended, my part complete as I lie down and bring the blankets up to my shoulders and wait.

Josh then, having removed his shoes as well his shirt, crawled into bed, under my covers and wrapped his now strong arms around my shoulders, placing my head on his chest and I closed my eyes knowing, I would sleep in silence this night, as always I had in the nights they would climb through my window and chase away the visions that waited me in the darkness of sleep, 6 years ago.

As my mind began to slip into the darkness, closing down from the world that surrounded me, I heard him whisper, I do not know that I was supposed to hear, don't even care, because I did, and his next and final words made me smile all the more.

"I have always loved you, and have always protected you... though now, there is another who can do the same, will always be there for you, he loves you in ways I never have, in a way I do not.  Sleep well tonight my little seraph, sleep well, for tomorrow brings another day for you to clear your mind of the past, to move forward so that you might one day, accept the man who wants to hold you beyond the ways of your friends."

That was it, nothing more and when I woke in the morning, he was gone; the only thing he left behind was a sunflower, which he had placed on the stand next to the bed.  I smiled, picked it up and my mind returned to the day when it was a snake in a box, or a mouse, perhaps some sort of childish prank, they, he knew, would bring a smile to my awakening lips.

I found this morning, something in my heart had grown, and a fire had started again that had lay dormant for years.  I found the youth beginning to once again show it's face as never before.  Even in the face of the coldness outdoors, my heart warmed me inside like it used to, in the mornings after the visitors had come to keep me safe and alive.

no problem it's amazing how no one wants to read this,it's such a great piece but you have to continue what happens?are we going to go back to kiara's past or is something going to happen to her?? :-\

[Kiara Johnson]

Well, this was meant as a simple journal entry, though I could expand it you wish, though the remainder of the story is not perhaps as magical as all this (Magical in a non magic way lol)  If enough peeps want me to expand on this tale, I will do so.)

Huggles
~K~

[harrypotterfan:)]

well i bet alot of peope would want you to expand on this but they have no patience to read it like my brother but there aren't many people active these days...
oh it was meant to be a simple journal entry(oh man :-\) but you have to write more if you do not continue this one please :( *on knees begging*

[Kiara Johnson]

I am currently contriving a new story, the idea has not come to full as of yet, but it is there, soon perhaps I will have something new for you all or for you at least, seeing as how you actually READ what I post.  Heehee

Lol, Tryin' to hook up with Kiara...?

[harrypotterfan:)]

no i'm telling the truth because i like kiara's pieces of writing whydon't you like them??

[Kiara Johnson]

Heehee, indeed, have you read my stuff as of yet?  Are you being silly male just to be so?  Well, it is ok, because I am certain should you read what I write, you might come to like it, even if it doesn't have anything to do with HP, ATM. 

And thank you very much, I do hope that more peeps will like my work, the ones who used to read it have all gone, and so I am writing for a new group these days, and so, I must think of new subjects to come up with, it isn't that hard, but for what I do next, will be totally different Kiara than of old, a WHOLE new series of her adventures with her brother Harry and his friends.

Well, I hope to have something new soon, thanks and Huggles
