Go where your feet takes you

Find what your heart looks for. 

No one is by your side.

So the moon shall be your guide.


~•~•~


The moon was the only comfort she found, the only reassurance she could allow. The moon had shown her its soothing soft light, the only one who've seen her story. The only one who've heard of her silent cries.


Elise Aubrie Winslow is a twelve year old girl. 


And the moon was the only thing she  could rely on, the only thing she found as soothing despite the troubles she had. 


Nobody wanted to listen to her and so she closed her mouth for good. 


Nobody spared her a glance and so she was like a phantom wearing a mask to hide her screams and her quiet sorrowful wails. 


Nobody cared and so she learned on how to walk on her own, trying not to trip on her own two feet. 


Nobody understood her the way the moon did. 


But then she found them. 


And she felt like she was finally home. 


Like she finally knows where she truly belongs. 


And they stayed. 


They became her comfort. 


They became important.


 They became her home.
 

 Her family. 


Her moon.

22 parts Complete Mature
Maya «I never wanted to be feared. I wanted to be seen. Not as a monster, but as a girl who loves the smell of rain and the warmth of sunlit grass. A girl who talks to animals as if they understand her and whispers secrets to the wind when no one's listening. But the world doesn't care what I want. It sees the glow in my eyes and the claws beneath my skin and decides what I am. A beast. A danger. And now, with my family hanging by a thread and strangers knocking at our door, maybe it's time I stop holding back. Let them see what happens when you corner a wolf.» Remi «The sea doesn't forgive mistakes. I learned that the first time I felt the salt bite my wounds and the ropes burn my hands. Out there, you either adapt, or you drown. I learned to strike before being struck, and to stare into the eyes of men who'd rather see me dead. But even as the waves carried me further from the past, it never truly let go. And now, the storm I thought I'd outrun has caught up with me. Maya needs me. My father needs me. But the sea took parts of me I can't get back. What if the man who returns isn't enough? What if I'm already lost?» Lynn «The city taught me how to survive and how to disappear. A glance, a twitch of the fingers, a slight tilt of the head, that's all it takes to pick a pocket or avoid a blade. I learned to watch, to wait, to strike. I became the shadow people fear in alleyways. And I like it. I like the power, the freedom, the knowledge that no one can touch me unless I let them. But then came Maya's letter. And suddenly, the walls I built to keep the world out feel more like a cage. My little sister needs me, and I hate that it scares me. Not the danger. But home. The girl I used to be. The girl I swore I'd never be again.» Three voices. Three paths. One storm, ready to break. We're not heroes. We're broken pieces, sharpened by pain. And when the storm hits, we'll either cut through it or be swept away.

Bridging the Gap

7 parts Ongoing

This story is a dedication to those who dared to rise, like the sun they shone bright. Dedicated to those who provided comfort like the moon in the dead of night. Dedicated to those scattered around like stars to cheer up the night, and to those who suffered hell yet chose to become someone's heaven on Earth. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- When love found them unexpectedly, overwhelming them through the most unexpected person, yet providing the comfort they had been yearning for. A journey filled with uncertainty, challenges, discovering, losing, seeking and then finding, a journey that they call life. Triggering warning: ---> Misogyny. ---> Harrassment. ---> Abuse. ---> Trauma. ---> Bullying. ---> Mature themes. ---> Mental Health. This story was written not with the purpose of spreading hate, but awareness and understanding. It is my first time writing, hence, I may lack certain aspects and I will try my best to improve, thank you.
