Fall is beautiful in Indiana. The trees are covered with red, yellow, orange and brown leaves and the streams flow smoothly over rocks down into the winding creek below. It seems that even the softest of a breeze carries Lilly out and along the state forest's paths. Her family too. There's a beauty to everything that can't be explained, just experienced. But behind every beautiful thing that exists, there is something tragic. It was a flash of blinding light that made Lilly cover her eyes. A split second later is when she heard her mother cry out and her father curse, then the ear piercing sound of the brakes as she's thrown against Braden. All she could do was hold on to him tightly as the impact happened. She screamed as the car rammed into the other side and was cut off by the shards of glass flying through the air. Everything flew at her as the car skidded to the right until it reached the side of the road that dropped off into the forest they had just walked through below. It happened so fast. The car fell off the side, throwing Lilly into the door as it hit the ground and kept rolling. All she could feel was the pain as her head slammed against the shattering window and the ground making the door cave in. Finally the roof slammed into something and it stopped. The last thing that she felt was a small limp body fall against her. 'Maybe it was fate. Maybe this is how my life is supposed to go.' It was the fragile little lie that she tells herself from then on out. Lost is exactly what she feels. And pain. And anger. She only has her younger brother now, Braden. She can't loose him too. How far will you go to get back what you once had? How do you live? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ohana means family. Family means that nobody gets left behind or forgotten. But what if they are ripped away from you for forever? What happens when you're left alone, terrified and lost?

I loved you as Icarus loved the sun- too close, too much. The sun is lost, no longer in centre orbit, the light is gone. Darkness resides in hearts and in minds. Shattered beyond repair, the words we spat at the departing of light, plunging into darkness. How can you have no recollection? A freak accident, memories fading away, Pragya believed light was found. Believed her Kiara to be alive. That was years ago. Yet to her, only a day ago. The mind, a vessel beyond anyone's comprehension. It locked away what hurt the most, the memories of a haunting past that kept her awake at night. Now resurfacing in this charade they display for her sake, in this hate they conceal for her sake, in this love they pretend to have for her sake, this is the reality that should have been- if only they listened to the heart, not the mind. It's all for her, this pretence of a family they never were. This part they play, it's not theirs. Names and relations are muddled but to her, everything is where it should be. They smile brightly together, picture-perfect, yet alone cry themselves to sleep. Like Icarus desiring to conquer the sun, they burn it in. Eternally shrieking, but no one can hear. In the devoid empty darkness of the space between them. Playing this game, their sanity is fleeting and they slowly begin to fade- fading in the sun. ---Fading In The Sun--- Canon divergent. Takes place when Pragya got hit by Riya's car. ---Fading In The Sun--- Initially a One-shot but is now a story in collaboration with @shadycrazyme Beautiful cover by @shadycrazyme ---Fading In The Sun--- On hold.
