The End of The Beginning

Chapter 11

Chapter 11

            About two hours later I woke up freezing cold on the mountain ground. Rose had her head on my chest and her left hand was grasping my right hand. I looked over to my right and I saw her blink her eyes open and smile at me. Then she looked down…saw our hands and immediately got up and brushed herself off, her face as red as a sunset. So maybe I wasn’t wrong about the getting up and leaving part…fun.

            Rose looked at me and then down the mountain and then back at me and back at the mountain. She turned towards the mountain and then looked back at me. I think she mouthed the words “Goodbye” and then she took off running down the mountain. I was flabbergasted at this act of running away. I chased after her but she jumped through her fire portal and disappeared, taking everything with her. Including my heart.

Shit.

            I sat on the snowy ground for I don’t know how long. It could have been ten minutes, it could have been two hours. I think at one point I may have started crying and then I quickly wiped them away. Kill me, just kill me. Everyone I love is dead or gone. Why am I crying over a stupid girl I just met? Screw her, I don’t need that she-devil.

            I got up started to brush myself off when I hear an all too familiar growl. Shit. It would really help if I knew where this sound was coming from. I heard it again. It seemed to be coming from above me. On top of the mountain, presumably. Instincts took over, again, and I started running downhill. I ran for my life, praying I wouldn’t fall.

I ran and I ran and I ran. Panting. Screaming. Running. I tripped. Oh crap. It’s gaining on me. Tree. Duck. Jump. Turn. Running. Panting. Dying. Oh God help me. I’m going to Hell. I’m going to Hell. Running. Turn. Duck. Tree. Duck. Jump. Snow pile. Turn. Running. Jump. Fall. Darkness. I’m alive.

Where a I? Maybe I really am dead! Is this what Hell looks like? Maybe I’ll see Rose here! No. Shut up, mind. Don’t think like that. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. I think I am alive, hitting myself hurts, so I can’t be dead. Did I trip and end up in a hole? I look up. Sunlight. The wolf scampers by searching the area for me. Quiet. I need to stay here for as long as possible.

I just realized something. The wolf, it was grey. It could be my sister! Symbolizing how she died grey and that’s why the wolf is chasing me. It could also be Greystone Orphanage, chasing me, very much alive. It’s only a stupid wolf. I seriously need to chill. I’m way too tense. My thoughts are too loud. Whoa.

My

Thoughts

Are

LOUD!

            Why did I not think about this before? I am so stupid sometimes. Maybe all of this is a test. That has to be it. Or what I learned before, happened for a reason. I can speak with my mind. I wonder if it works long distance. I’m sure it does. It has to.

Rose. I pleaded with my mind. Please work, please work. Oh God why is she not responding. After a few minutes, I gave up hope. Maybe it isn’t working.

Owen?

 

OH MY GOD SHE RESPONDED THIS IS LIKE WHEN MY OLD CRUSH WOULD TEXT ME BACK AFTER AS LITTLE AS TEN HOURS ASKING ME TO DO HER BIOLOGY HOMEWORK! OH MY GOD BUT SHE RESPONDED AFTER A FEW MINUTES OH MY GOD!

Rose, are you all right?

Owen, I’m fine, don’t worry about me. Where are you?
