Holding her head high, Andromeda Black stepped away from her old home. She was leaving everything behind: Her sisters, parents, belongings, friendships and any and all blood statuses.
A small smile lifted the corner of her lip as the light breeze lifted a curl off of her forehead. She was finally free. She was finally going to step out of the Black's strict way of life and form her own path.
Yes, she was leaving her two best friends behind. But it was all for the greater good. They were free to live their lives and now she was free to live hers.
Andromeda took a shaky breath, snuck one last look at the house she had grown up and felt tears well up in her eyes.
No, it hadn't been her choice entirely, and she was going to miss it with every beating of her heart, but it was time for her to move on. She had grown up, and with growing up had come the realization that her parents' ideals were no longer hers. She had been forced to make a choice and she chose. There was no going back now.
