Deliverance comes on the feathers of a black winged bird -fly away.
She turned from the people then, her steps just quick enough to reveal the weakness in her being -the panic that was threatening to overtake her form as she tried to internalize all that was happening. The pounding rush in her veins that made her feel like if she could just run fast enough that she would take off from the ground and fly away. Fly away until none of this was real anymore.
Instead she ran to her home, flinging herself desperately up the steps as she tried to to swallow the sobs that were crawling up her throat.
"You need not fear, Chihiro." his words floated to her from his perch, resting atop her roof. She hated that they calmed the pounding of her heart as she she leaned against the cool, solid wood of her bedroom door -beating in a staccato rhythm that threatened to break her ribs apart so that it could free itself. "Your fate -if you choose to accept it, is beyond that which you could ever imagine."
It took her a long moment to compose herself enough that she could walk to the window where she could see his tail lazily swaying in the waning light. And on an impulse that was every childhood adventure -every story book she'd ever read- in the making, Chihiro climbed out of that window. And into her future.
Note: As I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth, or rather, a working computer I should say, I've been writing as much as I can while I've the opportunity. So I have a few chapters waiting to be posted. Not many yet, but some. As always though, Reviews are a nice thing to leave.
