It's all black, my mind was all black, I couldn't think of anything but I could hear it all, all the whispers the wind carried, the hustling of the old merchant street, the cries of a child throwing a tantrum. everything but worst of all I could hear what they thought and what they tried to hide. "why did she change ", "wasn't she stupid and weak before", "who does she think she is ", "it was better of when she was dead ".Everything, I could hear everything even the things I wanted to blur out, my mind was black and emotionless but my heart was beating as proof that I was alive, that I survived or maybe it was me just being nervous, I never really know.
I could have never imagined that this would be our outcome we'd face for our mistakes. That night changed everything, it shook the very foundation of my being.
deep breaths .....deep breaths, my hand quivered, my feet trembled but I couldn't let it show through as I walked up the steps that never seemed to end, now I am uncertain to even where they were leading me though one thing that pulsed throughout my body was the ice-cold stares of the people looking at me, glances that tore through my blood-soaked clothes making me feel vulnerable.
Then it shone a white light that pierced my mind bringing back all the times when things seemed normal. I could finally see the end of the steps where four of the most important people were standing. I dropped the dismembered head and smiled.
"so this is what awaited us."
