Whispering Woods
Again, I don't own GONE. Enjoy Chapter 2 ;)
Caine sat on his so-called throne. He was thinking about her, the mysterious girl in the woods. Her voice was still echoing inside his mind. Soft and quiet, but easily heard. Caine was determined to find everything about her. Was she just a figment of his imagination? No, can't be. Caine couldn't imagine a girl so…beautiful.
"Your Highness?" a voice interrupted Caine's thoughts.
"What? Can't you see I'm busy?" Caine almost yelled. The boy who spoke looked a bit shocked, seeing as Caine wasn't doing anything.
"Sorry, Your Majesty," he said, still looking a bit confused. "Is everything alright?"
"Of course everything's alright," Caine said, forcing himself to calm down.
"Okay, sir. Good night," the boy stalked off.
Good night? It was night already? Caine had been sitting here for almost 2 hours, thinking about that girl. He couldn't take it anymore. He was going to find her again.
Midnight, in the woods
Caine found the same spot he was earlier. He now sat quietly, waiting to hear her chuckle again.
"Are you there..?" Caine had no idea what to call her.
"My name's Sophia," a soft voice replied suddenly. It made jump up and do a 360. Then he saw her.
"Sophia…" Caine whispered. She had her glow, faint and white. It was brighter in the dark.
"So, why did you come back here?" Sophia asked, curiously.
"Why haven't I seen you before?" Caine said, ignoring her question. "And why are you living here?"
Sophia looked a bit taken aback, but then she smiled a little. "I cannot tell you that now. You will know someday. And Caine? I like your hair," and just like that she vanished, her words still in the air.
Caine was now more curious about this girl. Why couldn't she tell him anything? Caine walked back to Perdido Beach thinking about these questions.
When he went to sleep, Caine dreamt about Sophia. Her white dress, her brown hair, her faint glow, and voice saying these words, "I like your hair"
So what did you think? Who is this Sophia? And what is her story? Find out soon!
