The Goddess Sisters

Chapter 1

Hi guys, I decided to comeback to writing stories on here after a long hiatus. It's been a while and I'm definitely taking my time brushing up my writing skills. So please don't be too harsh. This is a very rough draft at the moment (I haven't even spell check or anything). Im open to any suggestions and comments as to what you think so far! Thank you! ~N

One more step, one more step, I thought to myself as I neared my final destination. At first I wasn't sure where I was going but about an hour in I found my feet wandering this direction out of town and I knew where I was headed.

Now about three hours later, I take step after step in pain because the hot ground and my sweat created blisters in these shoes which I'm sure had already popped and bled by this point. However, I didn't care. The pain my feet felt was numbing the pain in my heart.

Finally I see it. The lightly forested area, which at first glance people overlook and just drive by because they assume it just an overgrown part that leads to nowhere, stood at the other side of the road just a mere 20 feet away from me. What people don't know is that overgrown area of trees has a path which leads to the most beautiful place in Massachusetts.

This feeling of comfort rushed over me at the site of the forest. I dragged my aching feet towards it and knew I was finally safe.

Safe from my own thoughts and from all the noises around me.

If someone had told me when I was younger that at the age of 16 my life would have turned upside down and nothing would be the same, I'd try to lock myself in a time capsule and freeze time to when I was in a state of bliss.

I didn't know what this year had in store for me. I wasn't prepared for it. The loneliness, the fear, the yearning and the pain most of all, I wasn't prepared.

I had finally reached the beginning of the forest and started walking through the path. It was beginning to get dark but I knew the path like I knew the alphabet. Years of walking through it drilled into my vision.

I walked slowly through. Step by step, knowing when exactly to turn and at which point the ground started to elevate, making me slightly out of breathe because I haven't come back here in a few months.

Eventually I started to see light once more. Following the light out towards the open valley, I saw it. The bench.

I walked faster towards it because deep down I knew that sitting there, looking out at the city, breathing in the crisp pine tree scented air, I would feel like she was with me again.

Like all of them where. But mostly her.

I needed to feel close to Rhea again.
