The night was cold, yet there was no wind. The tall trees towered; their branches loomed above darkly. The landscape had a subtle blue tint to it; the moon was hidden behind leaves, somewhere in the starless sky. It could seem that the forest was empty, no sound could be heard. However, there was someone there; two figures were sitting quietly, with no apparent intentions of standing up.
Neither of the two spoke a word; they lacked the strength to do so. The man of amber eyes was just looking ahead, staring at the empty forest around them. He was clasping his arms strongly, holding himself in a trance. His face had no emotion, yet the one sitting next to him could see the agonizing pain he was keeping inside.
"What... will you do now?"
He had no answer for her. He could not find words. He could not even look at her in the eye. Another shiver ran down his spine, caused by all the thoughts that haunted his mind. Another painful sting stabbed his shoulders, where the horrible scars laid. The cold he was feeling was just an illusion, brought by all the memories he held, all too real. He was broken, too numb to show his anger and despair. He felt too much, yet he couldn't look at her. He wouldn't; he couldn't possibly do so. The person who had caused him all this agony, the one who had left him with all these feelings that he couldn't bare... the woman with whom he had shared so many memories... He wouldn't be able to look at her again.
He wanted to be angry with her. He wished he could be able to raise his gaze to her, to show her his plight. He wanted to scream to her, for all the things he kept hidden. Yet not even a whisper would reach her. Silence would be the only answer.
