Series: Bitter, Twisted Lies Title: Black Ocean Rating: PG-13 Event: 110 word reverse hurdle Words: 110 Summary: Everybody breaks. Warning for implied character death. Author's Notes: For Muse and Alix, for motivating me. Black Ocean Eiralys sinks low to the ground, her heels digging in the grass. She blinks and blinks- crying is for weak girls, crying is for her sisters- but she can't stop trembling and no, no, no. But her rush fades into fear, stark and black, when the boy Marek always sends walks up. He says something and so does Cathrea but all she can see is the black of his mourning armband, inscribed with a very familiar symbol. She takes the letter he holds. The news comes on the first day of summer. She's laughing, running about in the gardens with Cathrea, behaving completely unlike herself, and it's kind of fun.
