Her final moment is waiting.
The island demands it, whispering sweet nothings in her ear at the edge of the ocean, suffocating her with desperation. Water sweeps almost soothingly over her feet and she's sinking slowly into the sand, fingers clasped tightly around the knife handle.
A breeze blows brown curls into her face and she closes her dry eyes, blocking out the unforgiving sun. She resigned herself to this fate long ago. Knew the island wouldn't let her leave. Not again. The cycle would begin, over and over until the circle was complete.
The island (destiny) takes care of its own. She's just choosing when it happens.
