DISCLAIMER: THIS IS A REPOST FROM A WRITING CONTEST ON HERE, SO THAT OTHERS WOULD SEE. 


 

THE horizon had baffled those who had the chance the be punctured by the view. It was so majestic, any horse who had galloped near the hills, with tiresome black beady eyes were able to see it. Wind winding over thou face, hair flowing back, but eyes lead only on the green grassy mountains yonder. It was yet a girl in a Kingdom with only a horse, brown as her hair, only to be pulled back by the startled horse.

The dirt beneath its feet turned to dust flying in the fresh air. The breeze had flowed in peace, it had only run through her own long thick strands of hair, touched by nothing but the silent hands. The land below her own perch was filled with no homes, no villages or camps, only but land with everlasting life. Life with no animals or humans in sight but her and her horse, who had neighed to continue on the road, but she was too busy in her restless gaze.

“Hold on sir,” she pets the thick, black as night mane of the fidgety horse, “Mother says I must fetch some fish, the city ain’t far.” The girl bellowed, her pale but warm face had said, leaving only a little stare to the sight once more. The horse had slowly galloped on as she held on to him – her bags placed over the horse jumping on the sides of him. The trees leaning over the two had brushed against her skin, it seemed they were in for a grasp.

The horse picked up speed, it’s gallops growing louder as her water now left a sound. The wind flowed through her hair, now her sight was but down, down, down, to where she had never left her own eyes at.

Little to no time she had found herself seeing a small town-like place, with people looking around, carrying food in their own wool bags. She hopped off her horse, bound him to the wood and let her scrawny body walk off in the distance. There weren’t much people as there would be in the city, out miles away. The only people were ones who owned lots of land and needed gifts for their children, gifts that were food made by other farmers. Their specialty. It seemed the smell of meats, preferable deer, was all over the stands. The familiar yearning for the food had catered her nose.

She, Antonia, a girl with her life ahead of her was collecting food for herself. It was soon be cold and she had to stock up before them. For her grandfather was a needy man, indeed he himself was near is longing. His time was going to come, it had shivered Antonia to the bone. Of course, the thought it was baffled her the most, not his passing. For she knew the blessing of God was tailored towards her, and she could lead her grown life away from her ties. It was all she wanted after all.  

She wore clothes made by her own tiresome hands, made for winter by sheep’s wool. It was white, under it being silky clothes any commoner would wear. Though it fit her small frame perfectly, and her arms covered in the wool was all too much comfort for her own good. She had to hustle though; this comfort would not last for long if her grandfather’s last breath was an impatient one.

So, she had taken the fresh meat, honey, and other goods she herself could not produce. She was on her way back to her grandfather.

But when she had arrived, his own face was pale. Drool covered his chin—and empty feel covered his long face. He looks terrified. Right beside him, on the floor of the needy house was a brown cup with substance that had stuck to floor.

“Oh, looks to be I’m going to have more stuff to clean up! Well, even after death you are awfully dirty.” A cold sneer covered the girl’s face, one wicked hand on her hip. A sigh escaping her plump pink lips.

Her work was done indeed.
