She had believed that the mist had shrouded the horrific scene that had unfolded. If she had had any idea that her love had been able to watch her eye be extracted and then placed back into the socket, she may have gone about her bargaining in a different way. But she wasn't thinking correctly. The pain inside her skull, the crystals forming around her eyes and mouth consumed her. She didn't have any idea that the consequences of her actions would be so dire. She laid there, in that frosty grass, beneath pale auroras, with tears running down her left cheek. The only cheek that would feel the wetness of tears again. Sobs continued to wrack her body as she fought to get her breathing under control. Closing her good eye so that all she saw was darkness and no longer the fireflies that swarmed around her, she fought to find a reason to keep going. Even though the closeness of Avantika approaching her and whispering kind words to her that it wasn't actually her fault, Audra hardly believed her. "I-I a-asked, I ASKED F-FOR IT," she cries, scratchy voice fighting through a dry throat. Her stomach heaves, threatening to vomit again. No, she couldn't let it happen. Curling up further in on herself, she couldn't find the energy to move closer to Avantika. Audra wanted nothing but to be held, to be comforted for her stupidity. How could she ever forgive herself? "He-he told me to w-warn others n-not to be g-greedy," her voice is a hoarse whisper now as she chokes out the words. But she hadn't been greedy. Isn't that what he had wanted? Why wouldn't he have shown up if he didn't want to bargain with them? Grief soars through her body as she shivers violently. How did she have anyone to blame but herself? |
