"This wasn't supposed to happen"

"I hate it here, I hate it here, I HATE IT HERE!"


How does a negative emotion like sadness share a color with a warm wave from the beach? How does the calm ocean turn into such a terrible, no, horrible storm that tosses anything near it?

I walked up to a shattered mirror, looking into the pieces of glass on the floor.

"Acadia, Acadia...What a meaningless name. It's a name that holds the hero I used to be.", I chant.

Upon the shattered glass I stare into my reflection. It was nothing new. It was just me wearing the regular Black ruffled dress with a corset, my brunette hair down - wearing a white flower behind my hair.

I crushed one of the bigger pieces of the shattered glass with my heel.


" I don't want to see my reflection EVER again. I'm different now."


Yet again, staring down the shattered pieces with my gloomy lavender eyes.

The dark walls of the tower feels like . . . an endless void.


"I'm done with being seen as the 'Hero'. I was too nice anyway."
