Two souls, one bracelet

Behind some bushes, Ricky was holding the string of a bow "Gotcha" and released the string.
The arrow gained an incredible speed, flying through many small and low vegetation without hitting something that could change its direction. Although the prey, eating peacefully on the clearing near to a river, heard the arrow cutting through the woods and reacted earlier than Ricky was expecting.
"Just a scratch on the back, big failure Ricky..." throwing the broken arrow to the deep rushing waters of the river.
Kneeling to the border of the river, filling her hands with cold, fresh, virgin water; she washed her face and let herself relax a bit after the hunt.
Staring down at her reflection on the river, feeling on her fingertips the moisture of the dawn and the soft, pure breeze from the mountain forest; she heard a female, angelic voice singing a melodic lullaby.
Ricky got up and asked "Who's there?" Nothing happened, nobody replied. Then memories overflowed her, into her secret deep subconscious...

Around her, nature reborned...
bears catching delicious fresh fish near the waterfalls,
birds chirping their Spring melodies,
trees dancing along the desirable wind.
Small animas searching for food to their future offsprings, to their hope of surviving...
"The mountain..." she said not believing on what she was dreaming "... is alive!"
That's right, daughter of the Earth, everything around you has its own life.

Even more confused, Ricky already had countless questions overflowing her head, but something stopped her, the sound of the words...

Shall I grant your wish?
"What do you mean?" she questioned, not knowing how to react.
The Goddess's, transparent, icy fingers embraced Ricky's head and pieces of shorts memories took over her thoughts.
Arranjed marriage,
Dying father,
Pressure of being a princess...
I shall free you of all your worries!

Two souls in one body, two minds in one existence.
The will of believing, lifted the body up in the air;
The will of believing, left on the ground all the sins that were holding her back.
Young, Wild and Free
the two of them flew just a few inches above the rushing water of the river, as if they and the water became, once again, one; as if the prison of the Earth's body became the freedom of the soul along with all the pure minds of the mountain.
The water rushed into a waterfall, and so did them, however, during the fall, the soul of the Goddess fade away and Ricky became a sinning human being one more time.

"We found her!" someone screamed.
Gabriel, her fiancé, jumped into the water and rescued Ricky's corpse.
Laying her moist soil, he tried to bring her back...
mouth-to-mouth;
pressing her chest simulating the heartbeat;
and he made it.
Back on the living world!

In a tiny hovel, Ricky was curled up in some blankets, with a wet towel on her head and someone was holding her left hand.
Ricky slowly leaned to her left side and saw her best friend, James, playing with one of her bracelets.
"What are you doing here?" she said in a annoyed way, hidding her embarrassement.
"I'm going to honour our promise." lifting her hand tangled in his, showing their similar bracelets.
The look in her eyes became serious "I... I can't..." he interrupted her "Shshss, i'm not asking for your permission, princess..." he smirked "Tonight, things are going to change!"
