She was walking. Maeryn taking her usual walk through the woods to get
away, away from the noise of the city and of people. "Those stupid sheep
like people." she thought. "Why must i deal with them all? All they do is
torment me so? there's really no point in living near them."
After walking for a few minutes she came to a clearing. Her clearing.
Maeryn usually came here to meditate, and get rid of the junk of the city
and thoughts that weren't needed. But there was someone there. She
stoped suddenly surprised. He turned around and looked at Maeryn.
"Who are you?" this intruder asked.
" What's it to ya? This is my place, not yours. What are you doing
here?" Maeryn replied.
" I just moved here and was walking and got lost, came her and sat down
to retrace my steps. That's all. I'm Chris." He said as he stuck his hand
out to be shook.
Maeryn looked at his hand like it was a foreign object. Something
deadly. Instead of listening to her voice that was screaming don't go near
him, she shook his hand. There was a jolt, like lighting had just struck
her.
"OW!" she yelled.
" what's the matter?" Chris asked innocently.
"nothing, nothing at all." Maeryn said lookingk quizzically at her hand.
"nothing"
" well uhhh... i guess i'd better find my way back. See ya around
sometime. "
" if you give me a few minutes to think then i'll take you back to the
main road. " Maeryn told Chris.
"really??'' he asked.
" sure no problem"
While maeryn meditated Chris kept looking at her like an alien. He'd never seen such a thing done. Where he was from, if you wanted to get away you just couldn't. You had to deal with everyone and all the stress. There were only two ways out of it. Leave or kill yourself. Chris was curious about this meditation thing and whether it worked or not. "can you show me how to do that? " he asked maeryn. "ummm... you've never done it before?" she asked him. "no, never heard of whatever you're doing. " "sit down here and close your eyes. Just think of someplace quiet. No people to bother you. no stress. just let that take over. let the silence inside take over. Breathe in and out slowly and let the silence come over you." They did this for quite some time. When Maeryn came out of her trance she looked around and it was dusk. She noticed chris asleep beside her. She gently shook him and said "lets go". It took them a good hour to get back to the main road and by that time it was almost dark. Maeryn asked chris if he needed his parents to come pick him up or if he could walk home. He told her he would do just fine walking home. "ok, nice to meet you" Maeryn said to him " you too. wanna meet again tomorrow?" " ummm sure. see ya."
As maeryn walked in the door to her victorian style house, she heard her parents shouting at one another again. "wonderful" she thought, " i need this like i need a bullet in my head". " Why must you fight all the time??!!" She screamed at her parents. Her mom, slim, tall beautiful blond with deep blue eyes, looked at her, "excuse me? Are you yelling at me you ungratful child?" She said with a slap across the mouth to maeryn. " yea i'm yelling at you, i'm sick and tired of you and dad fighting all the time. everytime i walk in the house anymore it's you two screaming." she replied while rubbing her cheek. " go to your room" Her dad told her, with that tone of voice that said if you dont' you'll regret it. his hard blue eyes stared back at her, challenging her to snap back. "fine." she said " i'll go"
As she walked up the stairs to her room she heard, " you son of a bitch *smack* you never..." before her mother could finish the sentence she had slammed her bedroom door.
" i'm so sick of them fighting. i just can't take it anymore. sometimes i wish they would divorce, no i do wish. met someone today. don't know where he came from or anything but he was in my clearing just sitting there watching the leaves blow in the wind. like there was nothing else in the world to do. found out his name is chris but know nothign else or care to. had to teach him how to meditate. idiot people. i can't stand them. all usless sheep. he wants to meet again tomorrow. why i wouldn't know. ahh better go sneak down to the kitchen and eat. doubt i'll sneak by them. "
As maeryn walked down the stairs slowly she heard crying. "the eye of the storm" she thought, "in a few more minutes it'll be worse" She walked in the kitchen only to find her father standing with his back to her staring out the window over the sink. She thought better than to utter a word so she walked to the refridgerator and opened the door, pulled out a cup of yogurt and walked over to the counter to get out a spoon. As she did her father turned around with a knife in his hand shreiking " What the hell do you want whore?" " i-i-i'm j-j-just get geting something t-to eat." Maeryn stuttered back. " Get the fuck out of my kitchen or else. " he threatened with the knife close to her neck. " y-y-yes sir."
She ran outof the kitchen only with the cup of yogurt and no spoon. Went back up to her room and cried.
