"Completely Gone" By:Sarina aka-Me!~
The suns warm welcoming;the soft breeze across my face; the first call of the sea bird... this was where I lived. At the begining of a new wave, but yet at the same time, it was the end of it.And so more come to take it's place...all of them begining and ending at the same time. Near this beach, where the waves began and ended, was a small dock where all of the little children would throw their lines in to catch some fish for supper.Also, on this dock, I gave my first hug to someone who knows me.Knows me, as in, knows all of my secrets..knows that I am sad, even when I show a smile.. he knows everythings about me...that no one will ever know..I remember that hug; I remember every single detail... "Come along Mimi.. I want to show you something." Locke found his way around some bushes onto an old dock. The sun was half showing on the sea which made the ocean turn a glowing orange color. He led me to the end of the dock and motioned me to sit down on the edge.I sat with him right next to me as we watched the sun go down."Why does the Sun go away each night?", I asked, confused.Locke chuckled and answered,"Some day, Mimi, when you are older you will know." Cross from hearing this answer, I corrected him saying,"My name is Mirian." He looked at me and smiled. From then on we said nothing until the Sun was almost gone under the ocean.Locke stood up and so I did the same."I won't be able to watch the Sun dissapear completely with you tonight.I've promised my folks that I would be home before the Sun was completely gone." I nodded my head to this and he smiled saying,"When I am older, I promise you that I will watch the Sun go down completely with you." I was about to open my mouth to speak, but no words came out.Just then, without warning, Locke pulled me into his arms and gave me the only hug i've ever had. His long,uncut, hair was in my face and smelt of old laundry, but even with that in the way, it felt warming to get a hug from someone who cared for me. After which seemed like only seconds, Locke pulled away and ran on the pathway towards his home. A home where he had family that cared for him. A place where love was shared by every person. Something that I did not have. With a big sigh, I sat back down on the dock's edge and wathced the Sun be ingulfed by the water until it was completly gone.
*To Be Continued*
But that was when I was young and foolish. I had not known that love could never exhist for me. Not for some one as cursed as me. My mother died because of my birth. Yet luckily, a lady in town who was a friend of my moms also had a baby at the same time and so I was fed. I should've died. Locke called me lucky to have the lady feed me. I call it a curse. At about 4, I knew everything there was to know of cooking and cleaning. I never went outside to play with the other kids. I stayed inside with my father and older sister. They called me sometimes to play but I never answered. Soon enough, they stoped and I was left in peace. Half way through my fifth age, there was a terrible storm one night. It shouldnt have happened to them. But it did. Lightning struck the huge oak tree that was growing next to our house and the tree fell over onto exactly where my sister and father were. I wouldve died too, but I didnt. I was outside trying to get some water from the well because I was thirsty. I watched in horror as part of my house was being destroyed. I wanted to help so badly..but I couldnt. Every day I regret being thirsty. Now, I live on my own. I live in the basement of my old house...alone. I was put into an adoption center when I was 6-when I got my first hug- but I hated it there. Everyone talked all the time and noise poisened my mind. I ran away one night back to my house and from then, I've been living in the basement. I only come out when I need to. To use my net to get fish, to get water, to look for nuts for bread making, and sometimes to see Locke. He was the only one who knew who I was. But whenever we met, we would just sit down on the dock and look at the ocean without any words between us. It was nothing much.. but it meant something to me that I didnt understand... I was pounding the nuts I had found before to make bread and cooking the fish that I had caught with my net when I heard a small voice.. "Hey!" it called from behind. I turned around and gasped.
