The maiden who weeps on south street

One of my earliest memories was playing with my sister. The gracious lilies would brush against my soft small legs. My golden blonde silky hair was braided messy. My sister's golden blonde curly thin hair would elegantly twirl and twist with the roaring wind.

Her aqua-like twinkling eyes would always glisten when our gazes met. As young girls in a huge terrifying, heartless world we had no choice but to cling to each other like glue. There were times when our mother left the front door unlocked, we’d gaze at the outside world wondering if we should bolt out the door. We’d always whisper to each that one day we would bolt out that door together. The older we were, the closer we became. We thought that we would stay by each other's side till death.

But that was a distant dream. A Dream that would never happen. When she exceeded my parents expectations they finally showed her the love we both strongly craved for. In the end she was the only one who would ever get to know the sweet and tender feeling of being cherished and loved. Tears form in my life-less emerald eyes. I regressed again.

No matter what I do I always get brought back to life as if I'm a zombie. I sit in a daze like state under a giant willow tree in the Park for the massacre of Flash. “Are you okay?” Asked a familiar voice. A handsome sparkling man stood In Front of me holding his soft palms out. I squint my emerald eyes as I'm scanning the familiar man up and down. “Y-yes.” I stuttered. A big beaming grin washed over his face. His messy thick Chestnut-like hair glistened like a sparkling serene sunset.

His blue~ish green eyes shimmered like glistening stars in the treacherous night sky. He stood tall like a statue. My heart flutters like a bird. It’s him! Maybe I can save him this time. I clenched onto his pale hands. I start pulling him with all my might while I'm running around like a maniac.BOOM!BAM! A gigantic explosion erupted in the distance. Shit, it's happening again. His face started turning pale like a ghost. He stood still like a statue. No matter how hard I pulled him he stood there not moving an inch. He gazed with horror in his eyes as tall buildings collapsed on people.

“C’mon let go!”I demanded. Salty tears started forming in my eyes. Dark red blood dripped down his heart-shaped lips. Soon blood crept out of his eyes and turned pale like a corpse. He fell to the hard ground. His breath stopped and so did all the people in the city. I started crying like a madman.

Salty tears pierced my rosy cheeks. All I wanted to do was save him. He helped me so I thought that maybe I could save him from the nuclear explosion, but I guess I can’t. I can’t save anything. I fell to my knees. My knees ached with pain. I deserve this. I said over and over. I did this to myself. I deserve all this suffering, no wonder no one loved me. I’m just unlovable. I started to giggle. “I deserve this.” I giggled. I couldn’t stop laughing. My lungs ached with pain but I couldn’t stop laughing. Soon the world turned white. I sat again under the oak tree. All I felt was madness.

I didn’t care about anything anymore. It was like someone flicked a switch in my head to stop caring. I kicked the willow tree over and over. Even though my foot ached with unbearable pain I didn’t stop.It felt nice taking my bottled up anger out. “Are you ok?” Asked a familiar voice. I turned around to see him. “What’s your name?”I said while giggling lunacy. He looked at me puzzled. “My name is Leon.” “Leon, that's such a nice name.” I said with a creepy grin on my face. “Leon you know this is my 103 life-” Before I could finish my sentence a mysterious girl started wailing as if the world was ending.

It sounded like it was coming on South Street. Curiosity boils up in me. Well what do I have to lose? I dash street after street using the wails as my guide. South street. Is written out in bold letters on a bright green sign.BOOM!BAM!

The explosion starts again. A mysterious girl sat in front of an old building. She had short white hair as if she was an old lady but looked young as a 20-year-old. She had ghostly pale skin. She looked as if she was on the verge of death. Tears poured out of her eyes like a never ending waterfall. She looked as if she had gone mad. “Mina, we need to go! Please.” Begged a mysterious girl kneeling next to the weeping girl. The weeping girl just sat there with agony in her eyes.

The other girl tugged on the girl's bruised arms trying to pull her away from the explosion. “Please, it's not safe here. We're going to die.” The weeping girl glared at her. “Oh yeah, I'm sorry I forgot.” Said the other girl with a somber look rested on her tan face. Before I could blink the other girl turned into a corpse like everyone else. The weeping girl sat there not even sparing a glance at the dead body laying next to her.SZZ!

I looked to my left to see a dark red portal appeared. I dash excitingly to the portal. “Finally!” Just as I'm about to reach the portal a cold icy touch sent shivers down my spine. I gazed down to see the weeping girl clenched onto my ankle. Her dark red eyes glistened with desperation. “Let go!” I screamed.

Her grip was too strong, no matter how much I tried to break free she was too strong. Her grip suddenly started to weaken. I dashed to the portal. Soon I got engulfed by the portal. I awoke my eyes to a new world. A vast forest of tall trees stood in front of me. BAM! A gunshot went off in the distance. Was that a gunshot? I sighed in relief. I’m finally out of that treacherous world. UGH! A turn around to see the weeping girl aching in pain. Huh? When did she get here? She suddenly sat up and looked at me with her dull red eyes.

“Why are you here?” I demanded. She opened her mouth as if she was about to talk but she paused. She just gazed at me with agony in her eyes. “Can you talk?”

She shook her head no. “Jeez,I'm stuck in an unknown world with a freak.” “Whatever just don’t follow me. I work alone.” I glared at her letting her know to not follow me. The only person I could rely on was myself. I can’t trust anyone. I don’t know how she didn’t turn into a corpse, so it’d be best to stay away from a freak like her.I started walking more and more deep into the forest. I didn’t know at the time I was walking into the lion's den.
