He was on fire with his need for her and her alone, but she was closed off, cruel and condemning in her accuracy. She had always been kind, open, and willing to help him, but that version of her was gone, buried beneath the scars he layered on her skin with his selfish mistakes and long-buried lies. He loved her. He longed for her. But the harder he tried to keep her, the easier she slipped away.

She padded on bare feet, running breathless through the stinging snow, until no ground remained beneath. The forest floor ended, giving way to the open river below--unfrozen in the dead of winter--and she fell into its welcoming embrace. Cold hands plucked at her skin, biting into her numb skin with icy pricks as they carried her downward, ever downward into the darkness.

She’ll rise like ash settled on the wind with the smile of an angel on her lips. And she’ll alter the images in your mind to mute you like the sun in an eclipse.

This isn’t her beginning; it’s her rebirth.

True inspiration. Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven as read by James Earl Jones.

"Don't you fear me?" Arianet whispers, kneeling to the ground.

The child shakes her head. "No," she giggled. "My ears are just fake."

Her small hands reach upward, pulling the false rabbit ears from her crown. She drops the ears to the ground before reaching forward, her petite fingers stretching toward Arianet's horns.

"I wish I had ears like yours."
