The Caged Bird Wow の小説・ストーリー

The gift follows love, Elara had written. Wren pressed her palm over her wrist and stared at the lamp and thought: nine years was a very long time to keep something caged. Cages were also, she was beginning to understand, a thing you could stand inside and not even notice the bars anymore, because you'd learned to think of the cage as the shape of yourself. She wasn't sure when she'd stopped thinking of the bars as bars. She wasn't sure she was ready to find out what the shape of herself looked like without them.

As she tried to retreat, the crocodile bit down on her leg. She couldn't care less about the pain, clutching the shoes tightly and sobbing uncontrollably. "Christopher, you're really gone… We haven't even had our wedding… How could you leave me like this?" Upon seeing her foot caught in the crocodile's jaws, the bodyguards grabbed sticks to strike the crocodile's head until it retreated back into the river out of pain. Upon seeing the shoe, Claire hugged Heather and burst into tears. "No… All is lost… Why would the universe do this to me?"

The aftermath of the attack left a heavy silence over the Hawthorne estate. The once-vibrant yard was now marred with signs of the battle, broken furniture, and bloodstains that told stories of pain and struggle. Wolves, both in human and beast form, moved around, helping the injured and cleaning up the chaos. The air was thick with tension, grief, and an unspoken fear of what might come next.

And I was going to make sure they paid for what they had done to me, no matter how long it took. The caged bird was getting ready to sing. And when she did, the whole world was going to hear her song.

I decided to go for a walk since I've been indoors for too long. My mood was lifted after seeing the same birds as the other day. I smiled walking in their direction not trying to scare them away. I stretched my hands out trying to get their attention and surprisingly a white bird flew on my outstretched hand. I was awed at how beautiful it was. Having them in my arms gives me this unexplainable joy. I stood for minutes playing with the birds. When I grew tired, I allow them to fly away and they all queried away. I release a sigh of contentment. They just made my day and I'm glad.

God knows when I will be free from the place which is nothing more than a cage for me. …………

I swallow the pain, I swallow the spit filled with the salty taste of blood. Caged, alone and without redemption close by, I can say for sure that I can't say what goes on in that woman's head. What was her plan for leaving me in a room with dangerous weapons? Everything chokes me and the tears are on the verge of spilling but I throw my head up and scream. I scream till my throat is sore then I retreat into my calm. Being so close to the ground reminds me I am without a purpose, I'm so little, I am irrelevant. Maybe my purpose is to suffer.

The bird was naïve, thought she could fight against the world which was trapping her. She did not obtain visible scars from that faithful day, only the bars. The bars were her scars to remind her she was nothing, but a caged bird bonded to her master.

Elowen snapped. “I solve it by keeping you alive,” Corvin said. Elowen stepped closer, heat rising in his chest. “Alive where? In your rooms? In your sight? Or under your command?” Corvin’s jaw tightened. “Under my protection.” Elowen shook his head. “You dress it in softer words, but it is still a cage.” Corvin’s gaze did not waver. “A cage keeps predators out.” “And traps animals inside,” Elowen shot back.
