scene

soar free || a short story


Running. Faster and faster. My heart races, my feet ache. I keep running. Until, "Oof!" I run into his chest and feel his arms wrap around my body. "Shh, it's okay." I feel the tears running down my cheeks and know I cannot stay. "Everything's going to be okay." 
But it's not. It's not okay. He strokes my hair and I feel myself giving in, burying my face into his chest. 
"N-no." I manage to say, between sobs. "I can't stay. They're coming. They'll be here soon." He shakes his head. 
"Then let me come with you. We can be free, we can be together. Forever." I let out a small groan. 
"No. We can't be together. I'll hurt you. I don't want that to happen. I can't let that happen." He tilts up my chin. 
"I don't care. I want you, I want to be with you even if it costs my life." He leans his forehead against mine. "I love you." 
love.
He said it. He said the word. For a second I feel safe. But that only lasts for so long. 
"I-I can't stay." I pull away, not daring to look into those eyes one last time or they might make me stay. I feel his hand on the back of my neck.
"Don't go." He pulls me closer, our breaths in sync. I feel his nose brush across my cheek. "Don't." And then his lips pressed against mine. Everything around us seems to disappear. And all the troubles with it. For a few moments I forget. I forget that I'm being chased. I forget my powers. I forget the harm I could case. I forget what might happen. I forget me. I pull away, and I see tears rolling down his face. "I-I'm sorry." I say, almost in a whisper, and then I'm gone. Running. Faster than ever. I can't bare to see his face or hear his voice. It will only bring sadness and harm. "Wait!" I faintly hear him calling after me. And with that, I run faster. Sticks snap as my feet run against them. I feel a pain run through my legs and yet, I keep running. Where will I go? Who knows. Anywhere away from here. Anywhere far. Panting, I make a sharp turn, almost stumbling into a tree. Quickly, I make another turn. What if I stayed? What would happen if I gave in? Would I actually lose someone I love? Would I lose him? I stop in my tracks when I feel a cool breeze run throughout my body. I find myself standing on top of a cliff. The drop must be far down, considering I can't see it. Either can I hear anything. It's quiet. And I feel alone. For once, I am at peace. I spread my arms out wide and let the wind run through me. I close my eyes and take it all in. 
"Hey!" I hear a dark voice from behind me. I know now that it is too late. They already found me. Instead of turning around to face whoever or whatever is after me, I jump. And let my wings soar.

This was more like a small scene, sorry it isn't very good. But the picture above inspired me to write it. :) 
I hope you enjoyed it anyways. 

thanks for reading!

    3. •O• <-- my jaw, dropping to the floor.

      Like...wow. Just...WOW. I knew you had talent but this...this is insane. It's surreal. It's...beautiful. <3 I felt like I was there, watching. I was biting my nails, feeling my shoulders tense up as I watched and felt the scene draw me in. H-how did you do that? You're like...a writing goddess.

      -_- Your writing skills make me jelly.

      your very jelly writer,

      1. okay, that just scored you 100,000 points. -_- I think you are in the lead this week.
        I fangirl every time you read something I wrote. I get very excited to post it. I'm always like "Ekk, I wonder if meh Rosie will see it." because I value your opinion a lot. Like a lot, a lot. And I just love hearing from you in general. •-•
        With all honesty darling, I will NEVER be as good of a writer as you are Rosie dear. <3 You are just too flawless for words. And I can probably get a couple handful of people to agree with me that you are just EPIC. ;)

        your very happy not-as-flawless-as-you- writer

        And you know what? You're pretty epic, yourself. Seriously. Both of you. My life is improved. I like living lots more because of you! Praise God that I found you two <3.

    10. Really, Kenz?? really? "sorry it isn't very good"??? ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!!!!!!! I just read this (catching up on my blogger feed)...I'm teary-eyed, and in disbelief that you don't have a publisher or something. From now on I'm going to print off your stories and put them in my journal. no joke. I actually thought about that, then I saw Aimeebob had the same idea. XD

      *hugs* keep writing, I expect to see your name on a printed book one day! ;)
