The Beauty's Sister [COMPLETE]

Little town, it's a quiet village...

One peaceful morning, Belle stood before a mirror brushing her hair and putting it into her usual ponytail.

"Simple as always." The bookworm smiled and glanced behind her to see her energetic sister Crystal. Although they looked very different from each other, every one could tell they were siblings. While Belle had kind brown eyes and shoulder-length light brown hair, Crystal had thick waist length black hair and pale silver eyes that always sparkled with mischief. Crystal was about two years younger then Belle but might as well have been a toddler because she seemed to always get in troule. But even so, the two were the best of friends and cared about each other more then anything in the world.

"Well I like simple, and you don't have a say in hair styling, you're hair's usually full of flowers." Crystal shrugged. "At least it's pretty. Not that your hair isn't!" Belle pretened to take offence and threw her wash cloth at her sibling, but Crystal just ducked and the towel hit the wall with a wet smack. "Ewwww!" They childly squealed before laughing. Just then, the door swung open and their father came in.

"Belle, Crsytal, get going. It's a beautiful day out there and I know how you hate to waste those." "Yes papa." They repiled in unison before he shut the door.

"Well, we best be on our way." Belle reached for her book but found it wasn't there. "That's strange. I'm sure I..." She looked at Crystal who looked awfully guilty. "Crystal...hand it over." The younger girl laughed before pulling the book out from behind her back. Belle reached for it but Crystal pulled back, her face suddenly serious.

"Say the oath." Belle rolled her eyes. "Crystal..." "I won't give it back to you unless you say the oath." Belle sighed before placing her right hand over her chest and holding the other hand up, Crystal smiled and mimicked the gesture.

Belle: "Right from the start, it was always known..."

Crystal: "We're never alone, always together..."

Belle: "Crystal and Belle..."

Both: "Sisters forever."

And with that, they lowered their hands and shook on it. And just like that, the somber look left Crystal's face and she shoved the book into Belle's chest playfully.

"Go on get out of here!" She said before leaping out the window and running off to the forest. Belle watched her go with a sad smile she glanced at the hand she had used for the handshake before sighing softly and running out the door.
