Hey guys! Back again with another chapter! Hope you like it! There's a new character in town...
Now, not all stories are happy and have a cheerful plot that makes everybody smile. Sometimes they can be dark, scary, or depressive. Stories are about finding oneself and about the hardships we have faced. Or about how we become the person we are today. The same would be said about Wendy.
The darkness cleared and she found herself in a room surrounded by other girls of all ages. They were wearing gray, bleak clothes of mourning, crowded around each other, in groups. It was Woodworth's traditional clothing. Boring shades of black and gray mixing in with browns and everything else. She walked between girls, passing them slowly. Nobody seemed to notice. In the far corner, familiar faces huddled together seemingly talking amongst themselves.
"Alice! Madeline!" Her voice echoed off of every corner, bounced off every sharp object. It seemed so far away, but so close at the same time. They didn't even look up. She was invisible to the world, it seemed. Just as she was about to shout out again, a force pulled her in the direction of a girl. She was alone, sitting in a far corner. Farthest away from everybody else. She turned her head the moment Wendy looked, and suddenly they locked eyes. Everything else didn't matter anymore, only the fierce green eyes of the girl sitting in the corner. It was like she new everything; her very soul. Her mouth opened wide, stretched as if to call out-
"Wendy! Wendy, wake up!"
Her eyes opened for the second time that night. She blinked and realized she was lying on a patch of grassy plane. The blue night sky winked up at her, stars shining brightly. Her hair smelled of damp seawater, grimy with dried salt and tears. Her lungs burned and her eyes watered. She opened her eyes wide, blinking away the tears and burning sensation. There was nobody around even though she heard a voice so clearly. She couldn't place who's it was. Her body ached and she held in the pain, like wearing those blasted corsets. She was used to pain. She was used to this.
She appeared to be on the bordering beach the boat had been closest to. Which one, she couldn't be sure. Maybe…maybe he was here. Would he even recognize her though?
She pushed herself, taking slow, measured steps. There was a shallow cave near the edge of the forest. Shallow enough for her to see the back of it and hidden quite well, away from the world. She took the steps to get there before stumbling and falling down to the edge of it. Her very bones ached and her throat clenched for water. How lucky she was to notice the small freshwater pool at the very end.
When she drank her fill, she found her eyes heavy and blissfully let them close. She was safe. That was all that mattered. This was safe. She was safe here.
Walworth's School for Young Ladies
"Sarah. My name is Sarah." The wide green-eyed girl responded. Alice tilted her head in recognition. "Madeline's the name. So, why are you here? It's complicated right? I know mine is…complicated." The girl with dark hair looked away slightly, staring out the window of endless rain and fog. Almost, looking for something. Nothing was there.
"I-I had no where else to go." Her voice was small, quiet; almost non-existent. But it was something.. Suddenly she looked up, staring at nothing, and possibly everything at the same time. She had the most piercing green eyes that seemed to look into your very heart. To know everything secret you held…
