Lucien POV

I was back at the cabin. A ritual I partake every year.  No matter how busy l got, l always made time for HER. I loved her. She might never have known, but l did. I watched her in the shadows as she went about her day. Everyone at school made fun of her mutism, but l think it made her adorable. If you ever fucked with her l rearranged your face. She was the only one who never feared sitting next to me in class or in the jus home.
So l made a promise. I worked hard at school l had to make money for her so that one day when l approached her, l knew was able take care of her and her every need.

Then one day, l was walking on the side of the road when a vig billboard showcased live news reported of a car accident.
I didn't care at first, but l saw that familiar purple bracelet written AIDA . I knew she was gone. I pushed through all the pain and l built her an empire. I know if she was looking down at me, she would be so pleased.

So l come to this cabin every year from her birthday to her death day.
4  September BD to 12 September DD.WHY THE FOREST? It reminds me of her, of peace. She was the ray of sunshine to my constant storm.

And I LOVED HER FOR IT.
MY AIDA.

Coming out of my thoughts, l felt the decrease in temperature and went outside to grab some firewood. As l cleared the logs so that l can grab the small ones, l noticed something.
A petite body rested in the wood. It looked like a girl. what the hell ? What was she doing out here in the middle of nowhere. In this cold she  could freeze to death.
Abandoning the wood, l softly carried her inside. I brought her to my room. And wrapped her in some warn blankets hopefully she will be awake soon and tell me how she got here.
But l can't lie, she looked beautiful just like Aida.
