She walked with Lexy for what felt like hours into the
backdrop of the crimson sunset. Something changed and the silky sensation of
her steps in the sand gave way to the rustling of grass
underfoot. She now stood in the center of and an endless
field. Her soul had brought her to see something beautiful. The scenery
before her that she’d once adored now felt like a devastating symbol of her
mortality. The field, overflowed with delicate purple flowers. She
closed her eyes and listened to the soothing hum of the bumble bees,
hoping it would bring her back to a better time and place. Visions of her
childhood flashed through her line of sight. There they were as children, lying
in the field together, as always, watching the clouds drift by. Kayn ran
towards the bees, waving her arms and they took flight. She crawled around and yanked
the flowers from the soil. Lexy made no attempt to stop her. The girl
that looked to fields of bees for solace was gone. She couldn’t be the girl
that saw purple flowers and reminisced about her best friend slipping one of them
into her shoe as a child. He was gone. She wanted to burn this whole field to
ash and kick it into the air. She wanted to do that to every memory she had of
him. He’d slit her throat during the testing and left her to bleed out into the
sand. When she’d retaliated, she’d become a dragon. She wanted to destroy everything
beautiful and right for it was all a lie...
