The tip of her toes dipped into the cold water, sending chills down her spin. Her head spinning with the voices. She just wanted to leave. For all the voices to vanish. Like a bubble popping. She wanted death.
This time she would fall and she wouldn't fall into the arms of anyone.
As she fell, her life flashed before her eyes. Her mother dying on the steps of the palace, decapitated for being a theif. Her father killing himself. Her step brother raping her. Tears streaming down her face, as she washed the bloody sheets in the river, the one that she would die in.
Water filled her lungs are she gasped for air. Then... silence. Her body rises to the surface... dead.
