prompt 68: peace
Penny's POV
I like the dark. The peace of the still night keeps the noise, the light, and even those silences that say so much, away.
But tonight, in this dead black night, there is no peace to found. Voices come back, flooding my head with things I thought I've heard but lost somewhere in the files of my mind.
I hear my mother, disapproving. I hear Molly, ecstatic. But most of all, I hear him say "You're…what?" only to hear myself reply with a tearful "Pregnant." Over and over and over again.
Trapped in small apartment, pregnant, while a war rages on the outside, my kind is chained and killed, and my boyfriend is saving them, risking his life to the point where I'd think him mad if he weren't so damn noble.
I have taken peace for granted. And now, that dark and hushed peace of the night is too far away for me to reach out and grab it.
A/N: Angst! I know, I was surprised I did it, too. Now, the question is, did I do it well? Tell me in a review!
