• One Day, Lotus, or my character, was taking a walk through Misty Woods on a snowy night. It was silent except for the singing grasshoppers and the rustling of the wind. White snowcrystals sprinkled all over my long straight black hair and white furry coat. I was walking through the fresh fallen snow on Christmas Eve thinking about my first semester at high school. Being a freshman was challenging, but fun with new friends. But what I was thinking of most, was the choice I made in breaking up with my first love. He was cute with his curly hair and glasses...strong and great at football...romantic...any girl's dream, except for his easy anger and his history of going through girls quickly...but he was nice and funny. He was my hercules...I'd have to say. I'm still in love with him, but I just didn't...want to be like his other girls he's gone through. Didn't want him to be the one wondering if it was the right choice. ...why can't I kill the last of my emotions for him? Why doesn't he hate me? Isn't he mad at me? Why won't he despise me?...Doesn't he want to hate me?But just then, I noticed it was getting harder to walk when I looked down and saw that the snow had gotten higher.
    The unforgiving wind became harsh and stung my skin. It was hard to keep my eyes open, so I had to stagger with little sight. Not that I could see much, cept for the white covered trees and ground. Nothing was familiar anymore. Luckily the wind had pushed me against a rocky mountainside for then that was my guide. Slowly and steadily, I went with a hand on the stone wall and the other hand trying to shield my eyes as much as possible even if it was futile. After what felt like hours, I made it into a dry cave in the rockface. Relieved to be out of the biting winds and pelting snow... I staggered inside the cave. To my surprise, the wind had blown in twigs and branches as well as stones like flint to start the fire. After some time, I had a proper fire going, but was already drowzy and too cold to stay awake any longer. Thus, I laid on the smooth rock ground and closed my eyes into the darkness of slumber. I dreamt of nothing...just darkness. But when I awoke, There was a new warmth around me. Was I in someone's arms? Whatever it was... I could feel its breathe...
    ...then a sudden stinging wind blew into the cave, and I subconsciously snuggled up toward whoever or whatever was holding me with shivers shivers down my spine. What or who ever it was tighten his hold and I could feel his clothing as he drew me near. Fading out of slumber drowsily with fuzzy senses, I could tell it was a man when he soothed with his deep voice, "It's alright Lotus, I'm here." Something was familiar...but my conscious was still num and I couldn't quite make of who it was because of it. Opening my eyes the best I could, I could barely make of anything with my fuzzy vision......light colored skin, dark colored hair, and was that glasses? "Who's there?" I asked trying to focus my sight in hope of more vision. The guy having already his face bent towards mine kissed me on the cheek and whispered, "It's alright. It's me. I'm here, Lotus." "M-mar-," I tried to speak when he repeated, "It's alright, I'm here." I stammered to ask my heart pulse beginning to heighten, "W-what a-are y-you d-doing h-here?" "I was walking around the forest too when the snowstorm hit, and I ended up here." He responded smoothly. "A-aren't you cold?" I questioned. "I'm okay...just my hands are cold. Are you okay?" he replied. "I-I think so...just cold I think..." I answered regaining my full consciousness and sight. Now I could see his beardy cheeks and his glasses as well as his curly hair. He was looking at me worriedly but tenderly and lovingly but within his eyes I could see hurt. Guilt clawed at my heart and my still love for him made my heart race dangerously fast. The memories of our time together and when I broke his tender heart came rushing back to me sending me into engulfing guilt. I look away, and whispered, "I'm sorry." He looked away and remarked, "I'm okay Lotus." He hugged me ever closer to him drawing our faces close and whispered to me when our faces where as close as to breathing the same air, "I love you Lotus." "I Love you Mark." I answered back as I was losing consciousness now and my eyes half way closed. The next thing I knew, our lips touched and I was subdued to darkness for my racing heart suddenly slowed. Mark stopped and asked in a panicked tone, "Lotus, are you okay?" Unfortunately, my senses became dull and heat left me...
    ...thrown into a darkness with a distant light for one second, and then the next...saw my lifeless self in Mark's arms as he desperately calls to it...My dear Mark, I'm sorry for your suffering...please forget me...and never remorse...or else my soul will cry...forever more...Love another please, and forget me...so you never have to suffer...
