Duck Lake You'd better have good aim

@Alessia

She had wandered far from their lake this morning, wanting a distraction from constantly feeling like shit. She was pretty much nauseous all the time, and the list of things that needed to stay the fuck away from her had started to grow. Luckily, rabbits had remained safe so far, and one caught her eye as she made her way to the water. She considered briefly attempting to chase it down, but even just the thought was immediately exhausting. Plus, she felt too sick today to really feel like eating much. 

She continued making her way to the lake, stopping a few feet from the edge. She scanned her surroundings, eyes moving over the mountains to her left and the valley on her right before finally deciding to take a seat. She appeared to be alone, which was honestly how she preferred it. As her pregnancy progressed, her family dominated her thoughts; she missed them more than she liked to think about, and she had pretty much accepted the fact that she would never see either of her sisters ever again. She would still return to the glacier every so often just to make sure, but at this point, it seemed obvious that they had not made it safely from the storm. And god, she hated Sia so much. The resentment that had formed after his departure back home had slowly morphed into a burning hate. He left her here to deal with everything, and now she was alone and grieving and he was where? Back home with their asshole father. She hoped she never saw him again. 

She swallowed the hatred and sadness that had formed a lump in her throat as she allowed her thoughts to drift somewhere dark and depressing. Her fiery eyes settled over the partially frozen lake and she released a soft sigh as she attempted to steer her mind into a more positive direction.
