She looked out of the window and saw the snowfall to the ground. She gently pushed back her auburn hair behind her ears.

She looked in the reflection of herself in the window. She looked cold, haughty and superior. Yet, it suited her perfectly.

She had betrayed Nyx. Nyx was no importance to her anymore. Someone else was. Someone more powerful, more wiser and more beautiful than Nyx. Her inner voice was telling her it was wrong to betray her goddess like this, but she ignored it.

It was her free will after all.

She heard a laugh and she jerked her head up. The laugh was familiar and yet she hated the sound.

She watched as Zoey walked with her group of friends and the Twins were both winking at each other as though they were up to something as usual.

She gave her a cold glare and saw her whisper to her friends. They nodded and hurried on through the snow. She glared at her and Zoey turned round to face her. Her eyes were giving her a look. Neferet nodded stiffly before closing her curtains.

She sighed.

She has made her choice.

She is not going to change it.

Especially not for her.

After all, it is called free will.
