The Red Strings Of Fate //✔️//

Reese Parker is not afraid to die.

That's what she thinks.

It's not until she is staring into the eyes of her soulmate, black spots beginning to splotch her vision, chest on fire, far too many dark petals trying to come up her esophagus at once, that she's terrified. It's far too overwhelming. Tears sting her eyes, and she looks desperately at her soulmate who looks just as desperate right back, her world beginning to teeter. Her throats closes up, and she can't breathe anymore.

Reese thinks she's never been more scared in her life.

Reese doesn't want to die.

"You made flowers grow in my lungs.
Although they are beautiful.
I can't breathe anymore."
