Baby Steps and Morning Breath

*Raisa* · 11-03-2014, 10:46 AM

Fire ripped through Raisa's chest, unbidden and unforeseen. There she was. Virgil, who she had once loved. Virgil, who had stolen her children from their rightful homeland without their consent, held them there, and abandoned them. And now there she was, approaching Raisa, coming into her space after all this time, ordering her around? The woman's eyes would narrow, bringing to light a moment of consideration that seemed to last a life time. Raisa had left. Admittedly she had been at fault in this matter and had Virgil come to her and requested an apology she would have received one. Raisa would have begged and pleaded for forgiveness. But this? To completely ignore her own faults, her own failures... Raisa would not suffer this pigheaded ignorance. It was clear now that Virgil was not the woman Raisa had thought her to be.

Slowly, she stood, bi-colored gaze never leaving that of her once-love. To crumble in the face of hardship... Raisa had admitted her own disastrous flaws, and this woman had not. To be stubborn was one thing. To be prideful, another. But to drown oneself in hubris to the point where you are blind to the world around you was a folly she would not suffer, even to the point of standing in her presence. Without a word she would turn, breaking Virgil's gaze at last. Springing into a lope, Raisa would bound away, losing herself in the surrounding fog.
