Chapter 8

Rosemary- 

I ran so fast through the forest I could barely breathe. That’s when I knew I must have traveled far. It was all to much. I never thought I’d see Josiah again. I knew there was something familiar in his eyes, but I never expected it to be him. I never expected him to be an absolute heart throb much less my mate. Everything I was, was a trap. Designed to seek and destroy. I had to end this before I somehow hurt him. I knew he’d never stop until he found me again. All the anger and thirst for revenge raged inside me but though I was driven by hate, my love for Josiah made me want to end myself so I could never hurt him even if it meant not getting my revenge. In all my fury I fell to my knees in the middle of the foreign field screaming to the heavens. “Kill me!!! End my suffering!!” I let out a defining scream. Suddenly in the hopelessness of the night, in my deranged tormented state, I felt the urge to sing my favorite song I’d sing as a girl when I was utterly alone. I closed my eyes and began to sing “Ave Maria” as though I were hanging on every word and drawing my last breath to sing to the trees as my audience.
