Correspondence for Kiera

[Kiera Kaster]

Kiera made her way slowly to the Owlery. She had been thinking a lot lately about the previous summer. Kiera was doing her best to forget about James Potter. She hadn't spoken to him since she had gone to his Quidditch match. He hadn't even tried to contact her. Not that Kiera cared. She had been putting all her energy into making her relationship with Alex a good one. She was still trying to adjust to all the responsibilities. Even in the middle of these things, Kiera hadn't forgotten her dad's birthday. Kiera had gotten him a special quilt made up with pictures of Cameron, Kat, and herself. It was an adorable blanket really. Kiera had wrapped it up and carried it to the Owlery. Kiera had attached a note.

Daddy,
Happy Birthday! I miss you so much. I hope this reaches you on your actual birthday and that you like it. I wish I was there with you today but we both know I have to be here. I will be home soon enough for Christmas. I love you!
Yours,
Kiera

Kiera called out to her owl, Pharaoh. She gave him an owl treat. "Take this to dad please." she whispered. Kiera smiled as the owl flew out the window.

Link decided to send Kiera a letter. He didn't get the chance to talk to her, seeing she was a bit busy with her new found family now. He wasn't sure if he had wanted to send this letter but he had kept his promise to at least mail her whenever he had the chance to. It was his promise and he wasn't going to break it.

Dear Kiera,
Keeping my promise I decided to write to you briefly. I wasn't sure if you were aware at my presents at the wedding. I was there in the back aisle, I didn't want to say much seeing as you seem a bit busy at the time. You seem happy, and I'm glad that Alex fellow treating you the way you wanted to be treated. I'm staying with Zion at the moment, I'm sure Raziel wouldn't mind, but its peaceful the parts that I dwell in. This would be the longest I ever stayed in a place, its a small village, but don't have much neighbors which is always good. Anyways ending this letter, seems I got a bit more training to do. Take Care.

Kiera was slightly surprised when an unknown Owl swooped down at the Gryffindor table during breakfast to leave a note on her lap. She immediately recognized Link's handwriting on the outside. Her heart quickened at the thought of him. She carefully took the letter and left the Great Hall. She didn't want anyone to see her read the letter. She practically ran all the way to the top of the Owlery. Kiera opened it and read it. She frowned as she wrote a reply and then sent it off. Was it just her or did he want nothing to do with her?

Link,
Thank you for writing me. I had no idea that you were at the wedding! Why didn't you speak to me? I wasn't busy, I was just trying to get through the ridiculous wedding. I would be rolling my eyes right now if you could see me. I am happy but I would have been happier if you had actually spoken to me! Alex is a nice guy. I think you would have gotten along well.
Who is Zion? That sounds like a scary name. I hope you are doing well. Please write again when you get the chance.
Love always,
Kiera

Zion had been teaching him a defense magic when Link spotted an owl soaring above him. It was the same owl he used to send Kiera the letter, couple nights before. Ending the lesson a bit early, Link took a detour towards the forest next to where his resident took place. He open the letter, and briefly read it wondering how he could summon the right words to Kiera.

Kiera,

You don't have to explain, its alright. I was actually busy right after the ceremony, how's the newly weds? Zion was my first keeper, and was happy to see me once again. He agree to homeschool me, as long as I pull my weight around the small house we live. Its quite pleasant, we live near a meadow, and a forest just behind our backyard. You should visit me sometimes? I hope your 7th year going well, try not to stress out so much and you will do fine.

Take Care,
Link

Link read the letter back, not really caring if he left something out. As he gave it to Zion owl, giving him a treat "Auro, Kiera again" he said as he gave the owl a treat to eat before it took off to deliver its mail.

Kiera was sitting on the lawn, reading a book. It was actually a book for fun instead of a school book. Lately, all she had been reading were about school work. Kiera was even more confused by this next letter. Had his feelings towards her changed? Why did the letter sound like a casual explaination instead of a letter addressed to Kiera? The owl waited patiently for a reply. She absentmindedly handed it a treat before handing over her letter.

Dear Link,
I personally have no idea how the newlyweds are and I could care less. I left the wedding to go back home to where my dad lives. That's my only real parent. I haven't ever heard of Zion before but I'm glad your happy. I only want you to be happy. Would you like me to visit? I can for a day or so over Christmas break. I haven't got any plans yet. My 7th year is going along fine. Did I tell you they made me Head Girl? Can you believe it!? Anyways, its time for class. Write again soon.

Love always,
Kiera

It was the darkest of the night, and Link found himself wide awake. Things seem different these days, he found himself a lot calmer, less hatred towards others these current times. Maybe it was the new atmosphere all around him. Just like many things in his life, he always seem to have left his troubles behind him. Feeling as if he started all over again, a new identity bestowed upon him. But he was awake, and he was thinking about her, maybe this feeling was the feeling of numbness. Unable to feel, so he seems so happy on the outside but on the inside? A rapper on the window would disturb him from his thoughts seeing Auro cooed just outside his window. Getting up he would open the window letting Auro in, as he drop a letter just in front of him. Hastly opening it, he would read it a couple time before taking out his materials to write a quick note to Kiera.

Kiera,

I can't seem to sleep at the moment, and was glad that I didn't because that's when I got your letter. Kiera I feel numb inside, everything seem to go well, but I still feel numb. My heartache thinking about this every night, the pain is so deep I tried hard to ignore it. But I can't no longer. Kiera I'm nothing without you, and I hope you understand this. I love you deeply like no other, my heart, soul, what's left of me belong to you. It kills me to see you with another, I kill a thousand man to get to you. You don't understand the spell you have put upon me. The days that I wasn't in contact with you were my hardest, I became a demented sick madman, wanting and yarning for your love. And every time I see you its becoming harder and harder to not be with you. I don't know what to do anymore. If you don't hear from me, please don't worry.

Love,
Link Woods

Link Sighs giving to Auro"Kiera please" he watched as the owl feed than took off for the night.

It was mid-afternoon and Kiera was leaving class. She was on her way to her favorite spot in the library when she spotted a now familiar owl outside. She changed her course of direction so that she was heading outside to get the letter. Kiera took the letter from the Owl. She had to read it three times before taking in what he was saying. Her mouth was hanging open. What was she supposed to say to this? She loved Alex and had promised never to hurt him again. Once she had wished Link would say these things to her, it killed her everytime he walked away. How could she trust what he said now? She didn't know what to say to him.

Link,

I am afraid that I am speechless at your last letter. It caught me off guard and confused. I was sure you no longer had feelings for me. I want to help you. I don't want you to be hurting because of me. But how can I trust what you are saying now? You have left me multiple times without an explaination. As much as it hurts me to do this, I have to tell you. I love Alex. He is here for me and I trust him not to leave me. I don't understand why you waited so long to tell me this. I loved you with all my heart. I really did. You could have had it without questions. I would have given anything for you to say those exact words to me, but you left me alone and broken. I can't trust you not to do it again. I understand if you don't want to talk to me anymore but I hope this isn't the case. I do miss you.
I'm so sorry.
love forever and always,
Kiera

Kiera watched the bird fly away through tear soaked eyes.

A replied had come back no sooner than he thought. He felt terrible, anxious, fatigue all at once as he slip open the envelope flap. Like shards of sharp glass piercing in deep in every direction, it hurt him to read those words. He finally had told Kiera how he felt really felt, but all he got back was the same respond he got when they met up at the three broomstick. At the moment he couldn't believe he was still breathing, but he had to snap out letting the rejection slip in. Without thinking he wrote a quick reply slipping it to Auro, after the tawny Owl had finish its midday treat.

Kiera,

Love you always,

Link

 

[Kiera Kaster]

Kiera was in her dorm room when the same familiar owl came tapping at her window. She was sure that he would never write her again. He must hate her after she hurt him. In reality, she was building a wall around her heart. Who knew what would happen if she actually believed him? Kiera knew Alex was the best choice for her. Alex loved her and wasn't afraid to show it. Kiera read the short letter. She knew this would be the last time this owl would visit her. She ran to her desk and pulled out a picture. Kiera scribbled a note on the back. She gave it to the owl. "Take this back to him." she said stroking the Owl once.

To my first love,
Don't forget me because I won't ever forget you.
I miss you.
Love you always,
Kiera

Kiera's hopes went out the window with the owl. She got up to go find Alex. Now, more than ever, she needed a hug.
