"sadness is but a wall between two gardens." » khalil gibran

AND slowly, despair began growing inside my heart. 

It felt as if I hadn't exhaled in years. 

Meg was gone. 

And I watched her last breath.

Oh how I wish I hadn't.

   The memory was etched into the darkest place in my mind. I had never seen anyone bleed as much as I'd seen her bleed.

I had never experienced seeing death with my own eyes.

Not until now. 

The vaginal bleeding seemed to be the least of our worries. 

   The image of her remained inside of me. Everytime I closed my eyes, I saw her. I saw her dying, again and again and again.

Gutt-wrenching expression, her wrinkly features glistening with sweat. Her gums stained with blood that kept oozing out of her like a hole in a tank filled with water.

Countless nosebleeds, followed by streams of blood that drizzled down her cheek like tears.

I cried.

And cried. 

And cried.

    50 daggers right through my heart that seemed to destroy every single bit of hope that remained inside of me.

"We're winners tonight. Caught some fish. Finally," Harry sighed, as he dangled the fish into the fire, trying to cook it. 

"I don't eat fish. I'm a vegetarian."

"Oh." 

He started eating, feeling slightly intimidated by my lack of carnivorous meat-eating traits. 

"Have some. You need protein." 

I shot him a glance and shook my head, which apparently made him 'lose his appetite'. 

  I tucked myself in my own arms, trying to fight the cold nipping at my skin. I closed my eyes in exhaustion, although the flashing images of Meg kept replaying in my mind. I still saw her. I still heard her screams. 

She wasn't dead. She was living right inside of my mind. Driving me to a state of insanity. 

"Uh, um. I'm sorry, nothing confuses me more than crying women."

I ignored his stupid remark and looked at the place marked with dead leaves, the only proof I have that she did, infact die, and I did infact, bury her. 

"I have to tell you something, Ocean," 

I looked at him, my weakness stealing my voice, a questionable glance was sent his way.

"It's not so good." 

"If it's bad news, save it. I already have far too many things on my-" 

"We're the only survivors." he cut me off.

That was when realization hit me.

And at that moment, I felt no wisp of relief, as my mind drifted further into the abyss of sorrow. Hopelessly I pondered those afflictions, only reaffirming the hell I wandered. Any hope for relief was thwarted by the agony and sadness that haunted me.

 My father and Avalon were dead.
