Prompt: Away

'If you don't fight for your own beliefs... who will?'

The wind mercilessly whipped her silver hair against her neck. Soon the wind vanished, teasingly tickling the woman's body until she was directly engulfed by the blazing sun.

Quickly bringing up her arm and wiping a bead of sweat away from her forehead, Veloce continued to run; pumping her legs against Mother Earth's fertile soil and kicking up debris in her trail.

'You said you wanted a second chance, so I gave you one. Don't waste it.'

Vocruen yelled after her, though his words were wasted on her ears- she heard nothing except for the pounding of her heart and the ragged gasps from her chest.

Tears filled her basin and through sheer mental control had she controlled it's fill, only now the basin shivered, filled to the brim with an anguish of betrayal and frustration.

With a ragged gasp, Veloce trips over an uprooted cobblestone and the basin spilled over, flooding tears down her face.

"Vel-Veloce!" Vocruen cried as he catches up to her and kneels to her aid.

"Get away from me," Veloce whispered as she roughly pulled her arm away. She didn't care if he had heard her through her hiccups, only raw feeling of disgust crawls on her skin from where he grabbed her.

"Master Visrin!" He begged. "Please!"

'I'll play with you some other time.'

She refused. Shoving him away, Veloce stumbles to her side; dangerously nearing the edge of a ravine.

"Please understand I-"

"I will hear none of it." Veloce turned, so her tear stained face was directed away from him, staring at the bottom. "Goodbye Vocruen,"

Quickly Veloce, cast a spell; a small shock ran through the earth causing Vocruen to lose his footing. Not losing her step, Veloce runs until she is pulled by the assassin and no longer feels the cobblestone underneath her feet.

-Fin-

To clarify; yes, Veloce knew what she was doing. The original idea was that she runs off a high platform and she knows that somewhere underneath is Blackbird waiting to save her. As you can see I have tried this interpretation and epically failed.
