My heart was pounding against my chest and breathing heavy my head was light and I couldn't go on, I tried but my legs gave up on me and I fell to the floor being covered in mud, I could no longer see because it was dark and the temperature had drastically dropped so I huddled up in a ball and lent against a tree re thinking what I was doing out here
Oh god I would never make it on my own and I knew that! Everyone told me that! Why didn't I listened? It was now midnight I suppose? I had no source of time- the fact I ran away was bad enough but with this minimal supplies was just Suicidal! A cold year ran down my cheek but I wiped it away telling myself I will not give up this soon, I grabbed my bad and got up and continued walking this time instead of running.
I had been walking for a hour or so and my ankles felt like I had been lifting 100 tons the whole walk, I was about to sit and make camp for the night by a willow tree when I saw a red flame lick the sky, I started running looking for salvation. The look I got as I approached a group of friends, god I must have looked a state I had mud sneered all over a ball gown and twigs in my frizzy mucked up hair and my shoes were soaked from puddles, I hadn't slept for 30 something hours so mu eyes were bloodshot. I wouldn't be surprised if they was scared
After a hour I was sitting on a pastel blue bedsheets inside a log cabin with a light grey quilt wrapped over my shoulder and I cup of hot coco in my hands. I was still shaking despite the fire I was sitting next to. My hair was soaking wet curtsy of the shower I had five minutes ago and I was wearing a white night dress that went down to my swollen ankles.
I was shaking so much I was spilling my Coco so I placed it in the wooden bedside table, as I did so there was a soft knock on my door and a tall slim lady with Ocean blue eyes Rosey Cheek fair skin, and blonde hair that was up in a but with ringlet curls falling around her face, she was a kind of person whom would enchant whoever she met with her elegant beauty. In a soft voice she asked if I was ok and I shrugged, I honestly didn't have any feeling at this moment I was in shock and denial. She asked if I was ready to talk and I nodded, she led me to the living room where all eyes were on me almost instantly.
I sat down and she said Begin when I was ready, and I did. I began, right from the start.
