《Searching for Safe Heaven》Day in a forest
Advertisement
When she wakes up, the rain has stopped, and the sun began to shine. The growing noise of the stomach makes her remember her hunger. After removing the grass on herself, she begins to walk towards the battle scene. The raging fire is now stopped, but the tree is still burning. Around the tree, she can still see the effects of the battle. She found a small burning branch and tied it up with some wet leaves. After returning to the so-called cave, she cut the burning branch into pieces with her stone knife and started to put the dried grass on it. After some time, the fire began to burn again.
Then she returns to a direction from which she had gone yesterday. There is a hollow tree which she had first decided as a shelter but as the dead tree is a house of thousands of long worms, she had dropped that idea.
She picks up some twigs and sharpened its end with a stone knife. As she found the tree wriggling with worms, she began to pierce them with the sharpened twigs. After trying sometimes, she able to catch 4 long ones.
After roasting them, she decided to eat them, but one can see the reluctance and hesitation in her eye. After closing her eyes, she bites the worm and begins to chew it. The worm tastes like vomit and rubbery in texture, but due to hunger, she gritted her teeth and swallowed it.
After satisfying her hunger she again started her journey. Yesterday night she had sawed the direction in which the black shadow had dragged the corpse. So naturally, she has chosen the opposite direction for her journey. While walking she remembers that at home when she was sleeping; she heard a voice
"Do you want to change? Do you want to live?"

Greys II - Ghosts
There he stood, dark eyes, dark hair, beautiful in the most devastating of ways. It scared me how little he had changed, his hair was longer and black, his frame thinner, like he hadn't eaten since I last saw him. His eyes were different, lacking something they had always held before, lacking anything really, and yet he was the same. He looked weak, but I knew he wasn't. "Hi, angel."His voice was just as dead as his eyes. It sent a shiver up my spine. That was the reason I felt sick, that was the reason he seemed different. He was dead, and as much as I wanted to hate him, I was sad he was empty, sad he wasn't the same man anymore."Hello, Gabriel."My voice came out softer than I would have liked, the words burning my tongue. But it didn't matter, I got the desired effect even if the volume wasn't there. He flinched, his eyes widening, his eyebrows twitching up and together, his jaw setting for just a moment. But then it was gone and he looked away, death settling back in his eyes, in the lines of his face.» ✦ «#2 in Angel Romance#3 in Demonology#11 in Thriller#Mature, 18+ for all the reasons. Not a YA novel (again).**Due to disturbing themes, violence, depression, language and literally everything else, this is not for the kids. Ghosts is darker than Intentions. But you need to live in the dark to appreciate the light...or at least, the lighter grays 🖤🖤
