there she was .. running wild ... on a dirt covered path .. in the middle of nowhere, bare feet .. bruised knees tears flowing down her chin .. leaving marks on her dirt covered cheeks ... wind converting her long black curls in a knotted mess, her ragged breathing shattering the night's silence... her heart going wild in her chest pumping blood to her aching legs ... moonlight failing badly at healing her bleeding heals, her voice was now merely a whisper because of all the screaming and pleading she had done ... her eyes fixed on the light laced shadow .. moving away from her ... step by step ... inch by inch ... she stopped ... mid way ... tired ... watching the shadow with half lidded eyes .... please don't ... her lips trembled. don't leave me ... she pleaded ignoring all the pain stemming from her wounds and the agony her heart was pumping in her system, her hand reaching out to shadow ... standing on the verge of breaking, silence heard the words ... "for the sake of love" ... and it was then ... the girl witnessed the shadow's smile ... and night heard the last beat of a golden heart.
