You kicked your feet through the piles of crispy leaves. The wind tossing the waves of colour from side to side of the path like a stormy sea of reds and yellows. Each step brought a satisfying crunch to your ear- but you were late. Pushing aside the sensory feast, you buried your face in your phone and stormed forward.
Your limbs met sudden warmth on what you thought was an empty path.
"Oh!"
You toppled backwards, and trip on your heel into the pillow mounds of leaves. Through the flecks of red and yellow blocking your vision, you could see a peculiar figure.
"Hello!" she chirped, "are you alright?"
You saw a mop of ginger hair, pale freckled skin and dark red eyes. You blinked. She crouched down beside you, placing her hand on your forehead, "Can you talk? Are you concussed?"
The red of her hair blended seamlessly with the autumn leaves, and on closer inspection her flowy dress appeared to be made of them.
"Red eyes." You stated dimly, acutely aware of a foggy feeling entering your head.
She blushed and a mischievous grin slipped across her lips,
"Never met an autumn witch before?"
You shook your head slowly, a gentle warmth starting to spread through your chest. She laid both hands on your chest and leaned towards your ear, "We're really nice, I promise, OK?"
As you nodded, she placed a gentle kiss on your cheek and suddenly the red and yellow wrapped around your vision and time seemed to slip away for a minute.
