Hello Everyone,
First thing's first, this story is set post Journey's End so if you don't want to know what happens at the end of that episode, please go and watch it and come back to this fanfic later. I have experimented with this fic a couple of times, but I believe I've got it just right this time, I hope you enjoy it.
Bad Wolf Bay
The bay sat mournfully on the coast of a small village in Norway.
It's smooth sandy beach was warm to the touch and the jagged cliffs provided shelter from the incoming tide and sometimes inclement weather. It seemed like the perfect beach, a popular tourist spot to the naked eye, but it remained untouched.
There was something about the beach, an atmosphere that made it inaccessible and unapproachable as visitors and villagers alike, stared at it in a curious fear, before walking off to more welcoming beaches further along the coast.
So it was somewhat surprising when the old man, walking his dog along the road that ran alongside the beach, spotted three figures, standing on the smooth sands of Bad Wolf Bay. He pulled the lead back as the dog obediently walked over and sat, protectively, at his feet. The old man's eye sight was not what it used to be, but from the wall he could make out the figure of a younger woman, standing alone, looking at a vacant spot just in front of her. Just behind her was a man, whose gaze was fixed upon her and an older woman who was staring at the same spot as the younger woman, who he guessed was the younger woman's mother.
The man began to walk towards the younger woman and they looked at each other for a moment, as the older woman turned back and began to walk up the beach, holding what looked like a mobile phone in her hand.
Suddenly the younger woman turned and followed the older woman up the beach. The man stood, looking at the spot that had so interested the other two women moments earlier and the older man couldn't help but notice how sad and lost that man looked, he reminded him of the people left on the docks as a boat sailed out of the harbour and into the sea.
The young woman continued to march towards the road above, as her mother stopped, halfway between them, patiently waiting for the lost man.
The man took one last look at the vacant patch of sand and took a breath of the salty sea air before following the two women up the beach.
