I needed to give into the screaming voice in my head but I was afraid there was no escape, no where far enough from the castle where no one would perceive me. So, I just kept running through the woods, I didn't care how breathless I would be or how i'd get back, I just wanted to get as far away from there as possible. I stumbled out of the woods onto the beach of stones and my vision grew blurry as I stared into the lake. I looked up to only find a figure sitting on the dock. I held my stomach to keep back the tears. It was a boy, who was just as hurt as I was. His eyes flicked back at me alarmed. He was terrified. Now it seemed as if he was doing everything he could to hide away. He turned towards the lake and never looked back until I left. And he did the same thing the next time I was there, and the next. I wondered if he even wanted to be alone, why would he come back to the same spot? That was unless he needed someone, and it turns out he did, more than ever.
