Nightgown clinging to her body, she raced through the sparse trees towards the intersection. Just a bit closer she thought. Just a bit closer and I will see her. Guided footsteps led her to her home, as the blood dribbled down her fingers. Its warmth and simplicity stained her, mixing with the thin fabric, as she clutched the bullet wound. Her auburn hair cascaded down her back in an abundance of curls, and one foot stepped forward. She did not hear the drivers swerve to evade her or the spew of profanity. Lost in her own little world, her feet settled upon the concrete divider of the roads and there she remembered.
Sophitia remembered the voice, the careful but demanding lips, the arousing touch, the memories, the sadness, the hurt, the betrayal, the abuse, the laughter, the embrace, her face, her eyes, every minuscule curve of perfection, the love making, and her smile. The blood profusely escaped her, making her knees buckle. Crashing to the ground, she looked back at her lover’s home only a few feet from her. Sophitia had come home that day, blissful from the past night, only to find her father positioned on the couch holding a pistol in the direction of her head. Trying to refuse the accusation was pointless.
They had been in the woods that night, Lilith was on top, her midnight hair draping around her shoulders as two cerulean eyes bore into her. She stared back more intensely with her own hazel globes. A smirk was upon her rose blossomed lips as her hands trailed down her lover’s abdomen. Sophitia stifled a moan as Lilith’s nails ran across her breasts lightly. Hands searching, grasping, tugged at her clothing. Their bodies began to entwine as something gently slipped into her. First one then two, then a third finger wandered inside her and her back arched in pleasure.
She had not known someone had been watching, someone had overheard her and now as she stood before her father she knew his intentions. Being the man, that only wanted her for himself in the way of forcibly making her please him, he pulled back the trigger as she ran. Sophi ran for her life in a failed attempt to seek refuge, comfort, and love in the arms of Lilith. But the bullet made it there before her. She screamed as it pierced her side, but regaining her composure she continued running.
And here she knelt as her body stiffened. Slowly, she was encased in stone as she turned, and hand reached out towards her lover’s home. Her body was there along with her tortured soul, but her life was lost. Still no one had stopped to help her, as she slowly begun to depart from this world. And so, majestic vines sprung from her sides wrapping around her abdomen and pivoting to the concrete below. They snaked and grew adjacent to the many cracks within the plaster. Flowers sprung forth, beautiful and both breathtaking roses of abundant colors.
Tears began to trail down the statues face. Falling to the ground they formed crystallized tears drops within the vine work. Thence making it sparkle as that of a thousand diamonds. Only then did people stop. Cars seized to swerve, as passengers ventured out from their own tightly closed lives. Inspecting the strange statue of ornate work they awed. They wouldn’t have appreciated it, if they had known its true meaning. There is nothing wrong with difference. It is not absurd, or evil, or worth of hurt and indifference it is beautiful. More beautiful then what any of this world will ever imagine. The purest of bonds had been formed between Sophi and Lilith, and now that bond was shattered right along with their souls.
Any and all suggestions welcome ( I may add more to this ) !
