I sat by the window as the sun began to set.
Memories flooding back, both good and bad.
I had pondered upon the probems.
A war.
Houses destroyed.
Suffering.
Others were suffering.
Yet I was there, safe and alive.
Well, I had thought. perhaps for a while.
I was drowning in my thoughts as darkness consumed the sky.
The stars shone bright, the moon offered it's light.
I opened my eyes when I heard a knock on the door.
Followed by footsteps of someone walking across the wooden floor.
"Miss Isabella, it's about time."
The sound of his voice sent shivers down my spine.
I looked up to him and asked.
"Is it time for dinner?"
He simply nodded, and then outside he proceeded.
I was following him until we reached the stairs.
"Allow me to assist you down until we reach your chair. For I know you are still quite tired."
So I held onto him, all the way down.
I could see other people looking at us, yet they were not making a sound.
I let my head face the ground.
To me this was a bit embarrassing, yet his kindness to assist, left me astounded.
