Lonliness

She is alone, haunted by the eerie silence of the still night. She looks around to see the shadows escaping her path, unsure whether her lantern is causing the moving shadows, or whether there are other beings lingering out there, she holds her dagger tighter to her chest, she wonders what brought her to the dark forest she finds her self in, incapsulated by the tall trees towering over each other, to hide the deepness of the blue sky. She wanders further down the rough path, she remembers the place from somwhere before, maybe a dream she thinks. The place though seemingly familiar to her brain, is infact a place she has never set foot in throughout her entire life. Her hair feels wet, dampening her neck. She could feel it out of place, usually she would bother, but not today, not now. She was overtaken by the sudden fear of being in an unknown place. She had always been brave throughout her life, and was quite envied for her bravery. But the chilliness of the air, and the mysteriousness of the place, together with the weird aroma that now filled her nostrills was too much to take in. She was confused, she felt shattered. She could not remember the events before she was brought to this place. It had seemed like months if not years since she had been back at home. She sad now in what seemed like a dead end to a path, she kneeled down in surrow, she remembered her family who she knew not of their whereabouts being in this place, she remembered her harshness to her sublings, her husband, her children and friends. She cried silently to herself. Where did my arrogance take me, and what has it made of me she thought. If i could go back now, and apologise, before my life comes to an end. What will become of me in my lonliness. Who will mourn on my grave. Lonliness, what lonliness, what did i pay for to get here, what do i pay t get back. Gratitude is my answer.
