SMELLING THE ROSES

For a moment there was only silence and in the eerily quiet forest and Kalliope thought for sure that she had run the stranger off. Jeeze, good going, Kalli. You finally find someone to make sure you don't kill yourself trip- Her thoughts were interrupted when the woman finally spoke again. Kalliope's smile faltered a little. She knew she needed the help if she was going to get out of here sometime this week, but there was just something so demeaning about someone offering their help. She sighed softly, her useless gaze staring out into the distance. "You don't have to do that if you don't want to. I've made it out of here before, I can do it again." She heard herself saying these things, but really in her mind she was thanking the stranger for being so kind. She just couldn't make herself do it. "I'm Kalliope, by the way." She through on the introduction as more of an afterthought, her voice quiet as she tried to keep her tempter in check. She had already flared up at two strangers that had offered their help, she didn't need to make that a habit. |
