She stumbled over yet another step. Her tiny legs almost the same height as the steps. She scapes her elbows again but her tears are inspired by her mother's scream from upstairs. Finally the worn out girl crawls to her parent's door. As she swings back the plain white door she finds a red puddle surrounding her mother. Her father is breathing as hard as she is but no emotion fills his face.
"Come here baby girl" he mutters as he approaches her.
Time stops as she stares at the doctor. This couldn't be. She was in the prime of her life; she still had so much to do and see. There must be a mistake but the look on his face tells her it isn't. Colour drains from her already pale face. The diagnosis had been set. There was little hope left. The outlook was bleak.
It crept in. A visible force rolling over the ground towards the pair bringing with it blindness of their surroundings. It was no use. They had no hope of finding the lodge now. The snow bites through their clothes freezing right to the bone. Despair washes through them just as the mist laps at their feet leaving them almost invisible to each other despite being just an arms length apart. They would have to wait it out. Without being able to see they were more likely to step off the cliffs jaggered edge rather than find the lodge and safety. The mist settled around them leaving them clutching each other freezing.
There was only so long she could keep her head up and she knew it. Wouldn't be long now. Already she was failing. She'd stopped wasting her energy long ago. It was stretched out but pointlessly. There was no use fighting it. Her legs fail and the water is quick to suck her under. She manages to make it to the surface again but slips down all over. Only once more does she manage to rise up before she's pulled towards the depths. Air rushing from her in exhaustion as defeat consumes her. She sinks further already forgotten from the world. She was down; she was under and there was no coming back.
Everything froze. Even the breeze halted it's slow movement through the hallway as he uttered those two words with such finallity. The months had been hard but she never thought it could come to this. Tears wished to well in her eyes but even they obeyed the unheard command for this moment to last forever. With two simple words everything in her world had stopped. I'm leaving; it's all he had to do to stop all life for just one moment that dragged on. This one moment stood still in time. The rest came quickly as time sped back up to catch up except she still couldn't move. Forzen; destined to watch him turn his back and walk out. The moment burned into her memory; the moment time stood still just for her.
Gravity; harsh in punishing lose to defy it's law. Clouds offered no support as he spiralled down through the air. Nothing would stop him; nothing could save him. He made no attempt to struggle. This was the punishment he had agreed to bare if he were caught. Mortal women were tempting, no longer could he get away with simple afairs. Now he was condemmed to spend eternity amoung them. The impact with the ground jars through him and the first sensation of pain draws forth a gasp from his lips. The initial pain was the first in a long line and this immortal one was prime for it's attack on him. For he was banished; fallen.
Higher and higher it climbed. The anticipation grew and grew. Any minute now. It seemed an endless climb. The steep incline just lending more strength to their anticipation. Finally they tipped over the edge. Screams echoed out as they flew with great speed. Winds rushing past their faces sending hair everywhere. Some screamed, others laughed as if in insanity had claimed their minds if only for this brief window. Unfortunately it had to end, the ride slowed to a gradual stop and the grining passengers disembarked some all too ready to wait again to feel the rush that can only come from a great roller coaster. Such a blast to ride.
The sounds bounce through the hallways seeming endless. Childish laughter, mocking her as she walked. Torture, the sound grating on her sanity. It would never end; trapped she felt wishing to escape the noise but knowing it impossible to escape one's own mind. She wished it could return the comfort it first brought her. No longer where the noises laughing with her, now she was sure even they had turned on her and now laughed at her every movement. They would never be silenced; it would go on forever. Eternally.
