Lost Creek Hollow Redemption

@Gannet 

The birth of Liffey's children and the approaching birth of Terance's offspring had caused a deep-rooted unrest in Sarah. She felt that it was her duty to take part in providing for the newborns, but they were such a painful reminders of her younger siblings that she had been unable to save, that she found it impossible to remain anywhere near the familial bliss of the hollow. The place had never truly felt like home to her and now it felt more foreign and hostile than before. Through no fault of itself or the inhabitants. She simply could not find peace there. 

On a warm April evening, while taking a break from a lengthy patrol along the borders, she sat down at the edge of the forest, watching the sun disappear behind the horizon. Never one to be called imaginative, she now longed to follow the sun's course, believing that, wherever it settled during the night, was better than remaining here. There was an exit and her heart longed for peace and freedom from the prison Sarah had built for it, yet she was too afraid and ashamed to return it's call. Leaving wasn't an option in her mind. She had disappointed enough people in her life, to do so to that one important person here.
