Everyone Can See These Scars

Asheila had re-learned how to live life on her own not that it took much effort. It was hard at first, watching every snap and corner worried that her captors had actually been waiting all this time until she was alone outside of the Hallows. But as weeks and months went on, it seemed like it was all in her imagination. They were gone, they weren't coming back.

She still stuck near home but she couldn't really bring herself to come back. It was hard for her watching her family thrive, and her feeling like she was a failure to all of them and herself. That wasn't true, and she tried to tell herself that often. But the intrusive thoughts of how far behind in her life she was were overpowering. She never seemed to outgrow it after returning to The Hallows.

She went to the falls today, coming to the riverbed and watching the flowing waters and fish as they grew used to her presence there. She didn't know what life would hold for her next.
