The roar of the ocean nearby hummed loudly in her skull, accompanied by the screaming gulls diving above. Slowly, the sound of footsteps overcame the atmospheric noise, and yet they were not of her own. The fae stilled, her ivory head whipping from one direction to the next. What in the… She sank down into a more defensive posture, the sound of crashing waves still hiding the location of her pursuer from her.
A blurry figure appeared in the distance, bulky and wild in its advance. The dusky figure’s approach sent her wheeling backwards, all logical thought about bears stalling in her moment of fear. A chirp of shock and dread expelled from her parted maw before she instilled a façade of power. Perhaps dominance was what scared bears away? Or I’m about to die. Either way I suppose. Her mind reeled at the thought of dying out of stupidity. If she died though, it would not matter. If there are not people to remember your life after your death, were you ever even alive to the world?
Existential crisis aside; the figure came into view, and what she saw sent a bolt of shock deeper than that of any bear.
Embry?
She mouthed the word in surprise before her delicate maw twisted in horror. She wanted to scream, to cry, or perhaps even to simply touch him and see if he was real. It would not be the first time her mind teased her with apparitions. Instead, she simply stood before the panting brute in stoic shock, her face and cognizance frozen for what seemed like an eternity before she finally broke.
“You…” She murmured in astonishment, taking a step backwards. “You.” This time the word curled with malice and disgust, her memories rushing in like a typhoon. Feyre’s topaz eyes narrowed into a sharp glare, her words biting, “You left me.” The seething anger and hurt boiled red-hot beneath her skin. She could not think, she could not get past the tears that threatened to spill and the words that wished to flow along with them. Instead, she simply closed her mouth, her facing going void of emotion.
