Dancing Banana

Violet got onto the roof but didn't look around. She was too absorbed in her own misery to notice anything about her surroundings. She moved to the edge of the roof and stood, looking down.

Should I jump, or no? She asked herself.

Violet wished she had the nerve to just jump, but she didn't. She was too aware of the pain it would cause her twin, and that was the last thing she wanted to do. But she just couldn't bring herself to jump off the ledge. At least not yet.

A minute later she spun away to look at the rest of the roof, and moved her foot as if to step away from the ledge, but instead she began to fall backwards, off the building.

Violet gasped as she felt strong fingers wrap around her wrist. She hit hard against the side of the building. For the first time in her life, she was the first to speak. "Just....let go," she begged in a tortured whisper.

Violet, gasping with what had just happened, sank to the roof floor and swallowed around the lump in her throat. After a time she stood on shaky legs and went over to him. [color=33ff99]"Why'd you save me?"[/color] She frowned.

Violet blinked. [color=33ff99]"And I'm an Arabian princess and you, the 'superhero', are my servant."[/color] She had meant it as a sarcastic comment, but now her mind thought it was true.

She looked disdainfully down at him. [color=33ff99]"Go fetch m a glass of water, boy,"[/color] she ordered him, sitting down.

Violet blinked. [color=33ff99]"How dare you talk to me like that, you insolent bafoon!"[/color] She glared. [color=33ff99]"You will suffer darkly for the things you have done."[/color]
