Chapter 1
The last half hour of my life replayed in my head like a horror movie. I tried pushing the thought aside, but it kept finding its way back; the anger on his face, the hate in his eyes. I tried to shake it out of my mind, nothing worked.
Wind whistled past my ears, whispering, iIt's all your fault Serenity./i My eyes became watery and the path in front of me blurred. I let my feet take control, letting them pull me wherever they wanted. It didn't matter anymore, nothing did. I didn't care where I was going; I didn't even care if I got lost. I just wanted to keep running.
The trees on either side of me had turned into a wall of brown. A squirrel jumped out of the way just before my foot hit the ground it had been standing on.
My heart was racing in my chest dangerously. Me feet slowed in response to my pure exhaustion, and my knees gave out from under me. I fell to the ground, wet from the previous rain, but I barely noticed.
A thin stream ran in front of me and I stared at my reflection, or what was supposed to be. The girl that looked back ate me was not the girl I was two months ago. This girl was thinner, more fragile, and weak not only in heart, but spirit.
I splashed the water and turned away, pushing myself up onto a fallen tree that lay next to me. My lungs sucked in gulps of fresh air in effort to stop hyperventilating. I pulled my legs to my chest and buried my head between my knees.
"It's not your fault; it's not your fault." I rocked myself back and forth, my frail and bruised body shaking.
I had done nothing to deserve this, nothing to make him that angry. Nothing seemed to make sense, or even begin to. It seemed that after my mom's death, everything kept falling down hill.
