As I walked, I had nowhere to go. The Penhallows' was closed off to me, and everywhere else seemed too boring and I felt imprisoned. Going back to Amatis would get me in trouble. Big trouble, I would presume. So I headed into the woods, and hopefully I wouldn't find myself lost in a matter of seconds. Though Alicante was bright and beautiful, the woods seemed to be a darker, more mysterious place. Things rattled in the distance, and I kept accidentally scaring myself by stepping on branches. Luckily, I found a spot where I could rest and think. My immediate answer to Sebastian's question was yes. I wanted to be with him. He was so much better than Jace, and he didn't yell. He seemed to like me, the way Jace liked me before, but he was no with Aline, and I couldn't do anything about it. As I settled beside a tree, I closed my eyes briefly. I just liked the sensation of the cold air against the nape of ,my neck, my red hair bunched up in a messy bun. I felt better than before, lighter. I would've stood like this all day if it hadn't been of the dreams. The dreams that haunted me this time were more about my relationships than anything else. And it felt so real.
I was running through the grass, and the air was so humid. I was sweating, and heaving, but I didn't stop running. I don't know who I was running from, but in the pit of my stomach, I somehow knew. I always knew. The scene then changed, and I stopped abruptly. There was a fork in the road. Three paths. One was clear, nothing. The others, well, they were occupied. One held Sebastian, who just numbly looked at me with glistening dark eyes. While Jace, and his angelic stance stood on the other, smiling at me. My heart broke, but apparently I couldn't choose, and my feet took me to the road where no one was there. It wasn't Jace's or Sebastian's. It was my road.
Hey guys! So this story is going to be very short. Maybe six chapters. The chapters won't be that long, either. But I will be writing more Mortal Instruments stuff, so stay tuned. And if you like PJO, I'm writing a story which is a TMI/PJO/HOO crossover. So if you're interested, check it out!
