Running In The Dark
Aurora’s POV
My legs won’t stop moving.
I don’t even know where I’m going.
Cold air slaps my face as I run away from the house away from Luka’s furious yelling, away from those wild eyes that haunt me like nightmares.
Tears blur my vision, but I don’t slow down.
I fall onto the cold ground behind the garage, scraping my knees on the gravel.
“I didn’t want this,” I cry into the night, voice shaking. “I didn’t want any of this.
“I bite my lip hard to stop myself from screaming.
I think about Mom. She ran away. Left them. Because of me.
And now Luka hates me because of her. Because I was with her.
But I didn’t want that. I didn’t want to be the reason she ran away. I didn’t want any of this.
The tears spill over and I can’t hold them back anymore.
I sob quietly as I scramble off my knees, wishing everything could be different.
I wish Luka didn’t hate me.
I wish I wasn’t so scared.
But most of all, I wish I could make it all go away.My legs carry me without thought until I find myself in a small grove surrounded by trees, the branches creaking softly in the cold night air.
