Rocks rumble under the carrier's weight.
Clouds cry overhead. Drowning the world in their tears.
A bump. A rumble and clash of light through the window.
I shiver. Clutching at my shawl. On my way to my fate.
I set off a sixth day before.
Left with only a bag in each hand and a white dress in another trunk containing various trinkets.
Shadows play across walls.
A shout comes from outside. "Little Miss. Only a few hours to Count Alexis's."
My new house. A new life. A new fate I did not want.
Fathers failing health made it impossible to say no.
Bumping along this cold dire nights road.
I was scared and did not want to meet my fate.
Yet fate always becomes reality. Nevermind if one wishes for it or not.
