BUTTER BLUE
Flash fiction
The moon’s light bathed
the forest. Twinkling flashes lit up the darkness.
The summer solstice was
beginning.
Out of nowhere bright
balls of light fell like large flakes of snow.
The magic was about to
begin.
An old log that the moon’s
light was resting on suddenly was adorned in blue butterflies.
She had arrived.
Everything went still.
Their turquoise and indigo
blue wings opened and closed silently.
Something came out of the
darkness as if waiting.
His snow white hair
glowed in the moon’s light.
“Butter Blue, come out. I’ve
waited a whole year for you.”
One of the large
butterflies flew up into the air. His own wings quivered.
But the large blue
butterfly hovered in front of him. His face lit up with a bright blue glow.
Now she was standing in
front of him. He smiled.
“Here I am summer prince.
Have you come to dance with me?”
“I certainly have and
more.”
He took her hand and
together they moved to this music that no one heard.
Until the warm night
started to sing and suddenly the forest was lit up with others arriving for the
celebrations.
They continued to dance and
this time to lively music that filled the air.
All kinds of creatures
joined them and the magic was electric.
The celebrations went on
all night and when the witching hour drew near, the prince took Butter Blue by
the hand and kissed each finger.
Her dark eyes watched him
kiss each finger.
Just as he was going to
kiss her, a flash of blue light lit up the area where they were standing.
She was now hovering high
above him with other blue butterflies around her.
The prince just grinned. “You
can’t hide from me forever my love. I will claim you one of these times.
He blew her a kiss
sending her and the other butterflies into the night air.
