Mist of the night touched my bruised skin as I ran away from home. They are chasing behind, or is it just my imagination? But even so, I need to hide. I don't feel safe.

"Get back here!" My father roared. 

I hurriedly knocked on the neighbor's door hoping they'll take me in and let me hide for a while but no one opened for me.

"No one would want to protect you Helena! You ugly bitch! Get back here!' he yelled as he ran faster. I did the same until I had reached the end, yet another dark path towards the wide sea. 

I have no choice.

I have to take the path even if it's long been abandoned and resisted.

"You'll not gonna make it back if you cross that path, Helena,-"

"Goodbye Father" I cut him off with a tear in my eyes. I continue running into the darkest dept.

I would love to not come back.
