Soralia smiled bitterly to herself as she walked down the busy streets of London, pulling her jacket tighter to her body, trying to block out the cold, wet, rain. On a normal night, she wouldn't find herself walking around London, alone. But this wasn't any normal night; at least, it wasn't supposed to be a normal night.
This was supposed to be a night she would never forget, a night that she would remember forever. This was supposed to be the night where she would finally be engaged to her boyfriend of four years. That was until she found him the arms of another woman, with a big, shiny ring on her finger.
"I was supposed to be with him. I was supposed to have a ring around my finger, looking at him with total love. Instead I'm here, walking down the street, close to midnight, soaking wet and freezing," she thought bitterly as she ground her teeth and started walking faster.
A promise of a nice, warm bed in a nice, warm apartment, curled up in a big fuzzy blanket sounded nice to her. But then she remembered that they shared an apartment, and realized that she couldn't go back, at least not to stay there. "I should go back to the apartment, grab my things, trashed it and leave a nasty note… or kill his ass." Soralia thought as she ground her teeth together and clenched her fists tightly.
That's what she should do, but she couldn't, despite having her heart ripped out and stomped on, she still loved him. Even with her job as a secret assassin for the government, she still couldn't. She knew that she still loved him and she knew that she knew that if he had ever come crawling back to her, she'd forgive him. "Who am I kidding? He doesn't love me! That's why he was hanging off of that…woman…with his arms around her waist, and her skinny, manicured hand on his chest." Soralia ground her teeth to the point of them hurting and without a moment notice; she stopped walking, turned her head to the dark, sky and started screaming at the top of her lungs.
"I hate you Luke! You hear me! I hate you! You ruined my life! I wish I'd never met you!" Soralia screamed and her hands flew to her neck to remove the necklace he had given her, but she stopped and froze. She hadn't even realized that she hadn't worn it.
Instead, she wore the necklace she had ever since she was a little girl. "I forgot that I had put this one on. I thought I had worn the one he gave me." Soralia gently caressed her necklace, deep in thought. She hadn't known where she'd gotten it from; all she knew is that she had it all her life.
As long as she could remember she'd had the blue-ocean gem necklace. "I can't believe I was almost going to throw it away." Soralia thought quietly to herself, drifting in and out of deep thoughts. But that only lasted for a minute before she remembered where she was going and why.
Glaring at the ground in front of her, she started walking down the street again. She had started walking across the bridge to get to her apartment when she felt an odd feeling come over her. Not sure what it it was, she stopped walking and looked around, looking for someone that might be following her, or watching her.
When she didn't see anymore, or anything, she continued to walk, only to have the feeling increase. She tried to ignore it, and she tried to brush it off, but it kept coming back. It was like an annoying itch that she couldn't scratch. "This is weird. This is really weird." She thought to herself, before she increased her pace until she was all out running towards across the bridge not realizing that her blue-ocean gem started to glow.
"Daro! (Stop!)" Soralia froze when she heard the strange voice loud and clear. She quickly and hastily looked around her anyone who could have said that.
"Hello?" She asked quietly and waited quietly for a response. Instead of getting a response, she heard footsteps from somewhere around her, not helping her nerves. "I've got to get out of here!" She thought quickly turning around and began running across the bridge again, but stopped when she show something, glowing dimly in the water. Curiously, Soralia walked to the edge of the bridge and looked over the side.
She seen the object in the water flow brighter and she leaned in to get a better look at it, when she felt her feet slip out from underneath her. Soralia tried to reach out and grab the side of the bridge, but her fingers slipped and she felt herself falling.
Soralia took a deep breath before she felt the deep, dark water chill her to the bone. She closed her eyes for a moment and tried to kick her way up to the top, but she found that the water was too cold. She couldn't feel anything let alone move her muscles. Soralia tried again to surface to the top of the water, but she felt her hazel eyes closing instead and the water leaving her lungs. All she heard, before she blacked out, was that same strange voice.
"Avo 'osto. Hebo estel. Avo acheno. (Fear not. Have hope. Don't look back.)."
