Frozen Breath

All Amy's life had been a nightmare until she met the person that would steal her soul forever and subsequently betray her.

It was a foggy day in Wilbur, Washington. Amy was walking through the forest as every morning. She could feel the rain drops brush her skin. Suddenly she saw a green sparkle. Someone was staring at her and she couldn't look anywhere else.

Then everything disappeared: the forest, the fog... Everything was only him. He was the miracle she had been expecting all that time.

She slowly walked towards him. She could feel the branches scratch her skin, but she didn't see them. His warm breath brushed her lips and he disappeared.


The next morning it was snowing. She saw him and followed him to the forest. Their steps were silenced by the white crystals.

He had his right hand under his coat and Amy could see a silver sparkle. Then she took one step back while he showed a shiny dagger.

A stifled scream escaped from her lips. She couldn't move, she couldn't understand what was happening, she couldn't understand why she would never be loved. Then a cold sharp of pain went through her heart and she saw how he disappeared between the gray trunks.

She suddenly felt a frozen breeze crossing her bones. The snow wasn't cold anymore, it only blinded her eyes while she was falling to the ground.

She could see his face for the last time, those green eyes that made her feel warm, those green eyes that had betrayed her.

She touched where her heart should have been, but she always knew that she had lost it. She looked at her hand and it was covered by ruby blood.

That silence that reigns when it's snowing suddenly turned into screams. In that moment she knew that she couldn't feel anymore, although she hadn't felt anything for the last eighteen years.

The blurry landscape disappeared and she breathed for the last time. It was what she had been waiting for all that time, her dreams at last were becoming true.. but she was alone. She was dying alone, as she lived.
