I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT IVE NEGLECTED THIS FOR SO LONG! Wattpad has been A MESS– and my life even moreso. Im planning on giving my through all of this and my poor pre-written chapters and write them all over again,

ANYHOODLES, HERES ANOYHER CHPTER FROM THE STKRY YIYVE FORGOT EXISTED

.·°*|€£îzåbëth|*°•.

Darkness...

An empty, hollow sort of shadow, aching in a chasm, leaving a cool, calm, and terrifyingly passive sensation in her wake.

Pure...

Empty...

...Darkness.

So much so that it left no room for anything else. A storm cloud forming inside her, charging with energy and churning in anticipation, waiting to let loose and let the ponding rain, raging winds, and merciless lightning strike down those foolish enough to even dare hazard a trek into its wake.

But first, there was calm. Everything was...

Numb...

And Elizabeth had a vague feeling that she should be alarmed by it, but she felt nothing for it at all.

Calm...

Peacefully... Blissfully-

Ignorant.

Calm before the storm...

Where was she?

Home... She wanted to go home. Though, more specifically- she wanted everything how it was before.

In the past.

She wanted things to go back to...

Normal

The storm...

"Normal.."

Oh, that ravenous, swirling storm inside...

Normal..?

To go back to normal... Like it was some destination on a map. A destination which she could no longer go...

On a map that she could no longer obtain.

The storm, the darkness... Make it stop. Someone- please- make it stop!

Family...? What about her family?

To make someone proud... To make someone love you...

Were they looking for her? Where was she?

Is pointless. Wasted time, wasted tears.

Wasted energy...

Wasted life.

A waste, pointless, disappointing, worthless, idiotic, naive, ignorant...

And just so, so Elizabeth.

Worthless, worthless, worthless.

That was what she was. Worthless. How could she trust herself to go back?

Trusting in the wrong person is what got me into this in the first place.

No, best stay here. Calm, free, safe from disappointment. Free from pain.

Yes...

She'll stay here, and rest. Relived as the storm's wild raging died down to just a steady downfall of rain.

Sleep...

Yes. That is what she will do.
