A Flame's Pain
Prologue
Forever Fall
A dark sky looms over the once clear sky threatening to rain any second. Thunder and lightning can be seen in a distance. The cold air passing swaying the red colored leaves. In a small clearing, stood two females. They each continued to stare each other down, waiting for the other to speak. Finally one of them spoke, breaking the silence.
"So, have you chosen your path?" A few minutes passed, until the other responded.
"Yeah…why else would I be here?"
"I see…"
It grew quiet once again. Leaves rustled and the thunder was now upon them. Then small noise could be heard. At first they thought nothing of it, until it grew. Louder and louder, now making out what it was…people yelling. The yelling seemed more of a desperate call. Realization donned on one of the figures faces. They were looking for them.
"Let's go before they find me," quickly demanding to the other female.
"Alright," came a reply.
They began walking forward, but were stop by the sound of people panting behind them.
'Oh no…' one thought.
The other was indifferent. They turned around to see three newcomers. All of them were teenagers with hurt in their eyes, especially the girl with the bow and redhead.
"Why?" she said.
Full of despair and sadness, she struggled to hold back tears. The white-haired female was faring better than the former, but still looked distressed.
"Because she understands me better than anyone in Beacon could."
That statement caused the girl to break down. Holding back an urge to comfort the girls, she looked away.
She looked toward the woman and said," Let's go before I regret everything."
With a nod, the women open a vortex and moved aside for the former to pass.
"Wait!"
She paused, but didn't turn around.
"We can help you! So don't go!"
She closed her eyes and sighed. Rain began pouring and the thunder and lightning filled the sky.
"No, you can't, so stop trying," and with that, walked through the vortex, followed by the women.
