epilogue

The night was pitch-black and chilly as a young girl stood silently on the side way as she stared at the street in front of her. Dark clouds had gathered in front of the moon a long time ago as if they had been trying to prevent it from shining its innocent light upon the girl and her surroundings.

People slammed into her as they passed her, trying to get inside as thick raindrops started to fall down slowly. She shivered at the contact and a wave of screaming voices flashed through her ears, even if the screams long since echoed away.

Her eyes were fixed upon a single spot on the street and even though the dark clouds prevented her from seeing the actual spot she didn't need her vision, as the place was burned into her memory forever.

The clouds seemed to feel her broken mind as thunder clashed through the air and the occasional raindrops changed into a shower as the heavens opened.

But she didn't move a muscle as her clothes were soaked; her mind was already numb as it was.

Through her mind ran a million of thoughts, all starting with "if only"

The smell of blood filled her nose and she choked on the sudden nausea rushing up from her stomach and filled her mouth at the mere sense of it. She forced the feeling down as her eyes were unable to leave the street in front of her even as there was nothing visible there anymore.

"somebody!...please!" The screams echoed in her mind as tears gathered in her eyes, even as she refused to give in to them.

Not wanting to give in to the desperation and realize how useless she had been, how helpless……..
