Pairing: None
She wandered, alone in the cold, dark forest
Her footsteps led her around in a series of circles, each one more tangled than the last
Frigid winds whipped her body as she struggled along, eyes dull and downcast
Each step was a chore, wearing down the dark haired girl without respite
Voices echoes in her ears, throwing insults and other words of abuse
They lingered as a chorus, surrounding her thin form
Dark tendrils wrapped around her mind, squeezing it, constricting it
A maze of paths befuddled her, for each turn melted into the next
She called for help, but all she got back were echoes
Echoes that taunted her openly, mockingly whispered words of reassurance into her ear
She found what she needed at last- a gun
The shot rang out in the cold, black forest, but no one came
Crimson streams threaded across the earth, but no one came
Her breathing became a demanding chore, dragging out the agony she deserved to feel
Still, no one came
Her eyes welled with tears, even though death was now inevitable
No one came
The breaths became the sepulchral chime of her death knell, sounding throughout the barren expanse
No one came
Blackness clouded her vision
Dots seared across her sight
The ebb and flow of her blood fleeing from her body was the last warning
Three, two, one
Zero
No one came, and the girl died in the darkness there
