Don't Run

Field trip

Pat and the others were gone. They were on that trip from the extra weekend class to a location She didn't care to ask.

It would be 2 days before they came back.

Damien was gone as well, and she wasn't sure where Lucid was either. It was quite boring.

Alona lay in her bed staring at the white popcorn ceiling and sighing. What should she do? She looked at the fading hickeys on her chest. The bruise on her neck was still faint. It didn't get too bad. And her elbow was purple.

Pat didn't say anything this time. It seemed she wasn't willing to ask anymore.

Alona pondered for a moment. Thinking about all the places she'd been. Remembering that canyon she'd almost jumped across. Had she heard rushing water?

She wasn't sure but was curious to see if it wasn't just her imagination.
The Rabbit put on her school uniform and made her way outside.

lighting up a joint as the dorm doors closed behind her, she walked around the side of the building and into the woods.
The same way she went that night, a couple weeks ago. After a while she saw the clearing, the flowers still vibrantly bloomed. She smiled at her long lasting magic.

Alona made her way to the gaping crevasse in the land, looking down its steep edges. There was indeed water streaming through it, flowing to the left. Dark blue waters that whispered secrets of something inconceivable. She followed it down through the vibrant brush, the fresh leaves tickled her legs, and after walking for what seemed like a mile; she saw the water, rushing violently off A very steep edge.

the Bunny smiled when she realized a massive tree had collapsed across the top of the glorious waterfall, forming a natural Bridge. Rushing water laying just beneath it.

The Rabbit made her way to the center of the thick trunk and sat down, looking at the huge drop before her. Mist flung from its rippling torrent in tiny droplets. She thought the water sounded refreshing. Rushing with life and power. She closed her eyes and took it in. Her hearing focused on its ferocity.

A couple moments later she stood and took the last drag of her joint, Summoning mana to surround her body, protectively. Her eyes and veins glowing in that purple hue. She turned around slowly, letting her body drop backwards into the fold. Falling down into the Rushing waters. Becoming one with its violent current.

She hit the bottom. The shield around her body keeping her safe from a deadly thrashing against jagged rocks. Water rushed in around her, bubbles running across her body as she strongly swam up to the surface, against the push of nature. Popping her head up and gasping for air.

The rush was so addicting. Alona had discovered so much about herself here.
Really the Witch was crazy. But it was a good crazy. She liked it at least.

She swam to the bank and hauled her waterlogged self out of the murky river. Summoning wind to her aid, slightly floating off the ground as the breeze swirled around her body, blowing her hair and clothes out to dry them off. It even dried her soaking shoes.

She gently landed back down. All fluffy. The Rabbit laughed and thanked the wind by bowing graciously. Then she combed her fingers through her white hair. Straightening her uniform and begining to walk around again, exploring. This was deep woods now. She'd gone downhill.

She came up to where the tree line broke apart. her heart growing sad at the sight she saw before her. She was right up against the Barrier line. Right at the edge. She sat off the side of the cliff. Her legs dangling down.

She leaned closer to the fading green light. Feeling its familiar, and warm energy. closing her eyes as she remembered the past nostalgicly.

Tearsay was a beautiful Deer. Alona could still clearly see her soft green eyes. Lovingly staring, as the Bunny grew older. Her freckled face and wise expressions still vivid in her memories.
