The ground glittered softly in the dim light of the new moon, bright white snow covering the terrains of MHBS. The snow was fresh, as it had fallen literally hours before, when most students had been inside, eating dinner. Now it was easily the middle of the night, and the darkness was still - except for the occasional soft breeze, blowing through the grounds. rustling the trees, and sometimes causing a bit of snow to fall from their heavy branches. Though most of the snow was smoothly laid upon the ground, there was one place in particular that held fresh boot tracks, which led onto the edges of the schoolgrounds, towards the school's legendary graveyard.
Zia Williams shivered in the cold, pulling her jacket closer around herself, and wondering why, exactly, she had come out here again? And then she remembered; she couldn't sleep. She had been plagued by those fucking nightmares. Even after seven years - they refused to leave her subconscious. She had tried years and years of therapies, tests, treatments, and nothing. She still felt guilty - though inside, she knew that it hadn't been her fault. These thoughts fluttered through her head, as she made her slow way to her location at the graveyard.
She was surprised when she had finally reached the old, weathered gravestones. It had seemed as though her walk had taken less than three seconds - though that was probably because of her deep thought. Sighing, she walked slowly amoung the gravestones, running her hand softly along the weathered engravings, bearing the names of those past. Though the snow muffled noise outside, Zia could have sworn she had heard something. "Hello?" she sighed, wearily, into the darkness, wondering if she was just going crazy. |
