Stories...

Selentha held her son’s hand as she watched the tomb guards carry the last coffin of her most treasured things, her friends. She was the last of her close knit group of friends besides her brother. She stared on with dull blue orbs, the once sparking crystal-silver blue now a lifeless dull color. Her son gripped her hand tightly as he remained quiet, his brilliant blue orbs tinted with speckles of gold and silver were gleaming with unshed tears.

”Mama, are your friends all together now?” he asked as he turned his stare to her.
Selentha averted her eyes from the site of the burial tomb to his curious orbs. She smiled and nodded, flexing her hand in his.
“Yes my dear child, they are all together now in the after life and may Ra watch over them along with the other Gods and Goddesses..” she softly replied as she looked back up to see them closing the door.
She let go of her son’s hand walking up to the one of the guards and asked for a simple sharpened knife.
The guard gave her a confused stare but handed her a long, elegant knife.
She held her long hair in one hand, the other holding the elegant knife high as it gleamed in the sunlight. She slashed away her hair, watching as the hair that was cut off shimmered when the sunlight hit it as fell to the dirtied floor. Her remaining hair reaching an inch below her ears.
Her son and the Guards stood there with wide eyes, giving her worried glances as she gracefully gathered up her sliced hair and bundled it together then tearing off a piece of her dress and tying it around the bundled, sparkling hair.
“Please let me into the tomb one last time..” she softly commanded, as the Guard shakily nodded and she thanked him silently.
The Tomb Guards hastily opened the tomb door and she walked inside, kneeling in the center of the room, all the bodies of her friends around her. She placed her hair inside a simple, small box then set the box down on the ground, taking one last glance at the tomb, a single tear escaping from her dull orbs as it slowly slid down her pale cheek.
”Goodbye everyone…I hope to one day meet again..” she softly said to them as she stepped out and nodded to the Guard, handing him the knife and going back to her son and taking his hand into hers once again.

”Will you meet them again Mama?” her son asked as the walked away from the site, towards their home.

Selentha stopped and looked at her son then smiled warmly, giving him a simple nod.

“Yes my son, I’m sure we will…and I’m also sure we’ll meet your father again and he’ll be so proud to see you..” she gently smiled as tears shimmered in her eyes and her lips were twitching as she held her tears inside.

Her son smiled brightly and hugged Selentha then took her hand again , intertwining his fingers with hers.

Next Story~

Selen sat in the dark void, the images and scenes repeating over again like a broken clip. Her eyes a dull silver-blue that showed nothing of how she felt, the sparkle of life long gone from her eyes.
Images, voices, memories…one thing lead to another as she continued to stare at the scenes lifelessly, her body limp.
Smiles, kisses, laughing, crying, running away, holding, loving, dancing, moon, stars, columns, sheets, pillows, games, everything from her life kept going over. Those memories, images flashed of everything. Holding on her friends, dancing with Seth, sneaking kisses from her husband, bathing in moonlight, magical times, playing games and tricks, watching the stars, losing her virginity, feeling total happiness as she spent time with those she loved so dearly. All those moments drew no spark from her silver-blue orbs anymore.
Finally, death came to play. Suicide, rape, murder, depression, life, death, begging, gripping, tears, sobs, attempts, pain, sadness. Everyone whom she cared about was gone, everything and everyone. Everything fell apart at her fingertips, she looked down at her hands, her eyes going wide at the site of blood.
”No…No…Please help me.. Please help me…” she softly pleaded to anyone in the dark.
Holding her head, tears streamed down her tightly shut eyes as she screamed.

”ITS NOT FAIR!!! ITS JUST NOT FAIR!!!” She shrilled, tightly gripping her head, her fingers laced through her locks.

Suddenly, she stopped screaming looking up quickly as she saw a light up ahead of her and a silhouette of a figure in front of it.
Her hand reached out, fingers desperately trying to touch the figure as they turned and began to walk away, slowly fading in the distance.

“Find me…” they softly echoed out against the dark walls.

Her arm quivered slightly with her silent sobs as she continued to reach out, her silver-blue orbs sparking slightly with pain.

“I’ll try…just help me please…help me look..” her voice echoed softly as the light slowly died away, leaving her in the darkness again.


Next Story~

"Don’t forget me Selen, We'll meet again someday...I promise you...don’t worry..for I am always going to be with you as always.." He softly choked out, his eyes sliding close as his head fell softly to the side and his breath stopped.
She stared down at him wide eyed, the water she had went to fetch for the two of them, soon to be three had shattered across the hard, reflective floor
There he lied, right in front of her . Dead. His blood pooling around him as she turned away and outside, coughing up what she had eaten with him earlier that day. Her hands flew to her lips as tears stung her eyes.
“No.. No this is all a nightmare.. one big nightmare!" she shouted silently to herself, A man stood behind her, his lean figure holding her still.
"Don’t look away and think nothing of it" Seth softly commanded to her, holding her tight as she turned back to where he, the love of her life, that man who showered her with kindness and yet seemed cold and ruthless on the outside. The man who played silly games with her as she ran around their palace in delight of him catching her and yelling antics for her to stop. That same man was lying there in his own blood as she stared more, tears coursing down her cheeks and her breath came short. Collapsing on the ground she held her head, yelling to the world the lies that she saw before her. Trying to wake up from this stupid dream, but it was real.

The next day, she kneeled in front of the golden, decorative casket, the many symbols of blessing onto the other world and safe reincarnation. Her eyes looked upwards towards the heavens as the moonlight gave her an unearthly glow.
She looked back at the mummified body of her lover, standing up weakly as she pulled off her necklace, placing it around his neck.
"Please Remember me..." she softly whispered out, her hair sparkling a slivery color in the moonlit night.
Walking out and leaning against a column, she slid down, her knees weak as tears continued to slid down her cheeks, her eyes glassy sapphire.
"I miss you...I miss you.." she whimpered out repeatedly, as she finally slid down to her knees and covered her face, crying out his name to the lonely moon as it kept her company, both of them connected.

She stared down at her stomach, smiling sadly. "I will make sure you live happy my child...You father would be proud of you.." she quietly sung a song she heard from her mother to herself, her child, and deceased lover.



I rather not talk about me so just read the stories and see what you think.
