The Thought that Counts

Nila nodded the woman’s next point. And she couldn’t help it as her mind wandered back to Kaino. Had her own intuition been blinded by her lust and desire to be near the beautiful silver and lavender woman all these years. Could she trust herself that, yes, she really loved Kaino and could trust her with her life.

Or was it her fear that was clouding her judgment now. Fear that Kaino was just like her kin. Fear that in being so similar that she wasn’t actually as safe as Nila had once believed her to be. So many things began to swim around in her head now.

Nila was pulled out of her thoughts at the mention of burial grounds. Looking at the ground she felt a deep sorrow. One day she and the one she loved would wind up buried like this. Nameless corpses in the ground that were forgotten. It made her wonder who they were and how they ended up here.
