It feels good taking steps in the right direction. I’m excited.

"I fucking hate you."

The words hung thickly between them, thick enough to cut through. They were filled with a bitterness, a bitterness that was all too familiar to the thin, scrawny boy who stared back. Eyes narrowed, seething.

"I can only imagine," the teen responded, sarcastically.

They stood in the forest, roots entangling around them, big enough to get lost in. Spider limbs stretched out over them and created a canopy of brown and orange leaves; bright in the sun, but somehow old and dark, rustic in a way.

The smaller one, a female, curled her hands into fists.

"Don't give me attitude!" She snapped, "Look what you did!"

She pointed to the crow that lay limp in front of them.

The male stared at the crow. His shoulders tensed, but his face remained emotionless. Black holes that reflected nothing. Nothing but an empty void.

"And?" he mumbled, "What about it, Farah?"

"What do you mean, you psychopath?" Farah exclaimed, agitated and quite panicked. She turned to him, so fast that her blonde curls bounced as she did so. "He's dead. 𝘈𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯."

The boy stared at her, and finally a small, nervous frown appeared on his pale face. The forest seemed colder.

"He'll come back. He always does."

"It's not that simple, Reed. You can't just go around killing things and-- and expect everything to be okay!" Farah spat back.

There was a long, uncomfortable pause, and Farah turned away, shaking, letting out a frustrated sigh. Reed kept his eyes on her for a moment, and then turned to the bird. He bent down and cupped his hands around it.

He lifted the crow and looked up to the shadowy forests in front of them. They seemed to stretch onwards, forver, bigger and darker than ever, nothing but void looking back at them. It beckoned them in as a creepy man would in an old, burnt shed.

Reed turned to Farah.

"I can fix this," he said, and the blonde turned to him, eyes wide in disbelief.

"You?" She scoffed, "How? Everything's gone, Reed-- the whole country is an overgrown forest, we're lost and alone, and Crow here was supposed to help us until you fucking KILLED him!"

Reed flinched at her anger, but remained unfazed.

"I can fix this," he repeated, and stepped to his friend. He removed a hand from the crow and placed it on her cheek, eyes serious. "Trust me." The last part was quiet.

Farah was hesitant as she stared back. Until she softened.

"Okay. I trust you."

I woke up looking like Cruella de Vil.

Literally, same hair, same pissed off glower, slinking through the relative darkness of my home and stewing in my bitterness.

أيا سائِقي..

اِسقني، من ماء فمك سقيةٌ

تشفيّ الفؤاد وتروي الظمأ.

أغمض عيّناك

وأفتح نافذة قلبك

نحو أفاق الخيال، وأستسلم له.
