River of Time
At last, after so many years, it was over. The war ended. So many dead. Just so many. And there he was, standing there. A hero. She watched him fall to his knees, exhausted. And to think he was dead! So many people believed it. Even You-Know-Who did. She was going to rush to his side-
Days flowed downt he river of time. She tried walking against its current. it would've been easier if the river was frozen. She didn't know how to swim. There he was, at the beginning of the river, so close, yet so far away. Someone else called for her, she turned around seeing a refelction of him. Both called for her.
She was drowning, no longer able to fight the river. Neither tried tos ave her. She screamed for him to save her. Gasping for air, she couldn't reach the surface.
And everything froze. Her body remained motionless. She half expected him to reach out and grab her hand and pull her out. Where was he?
Pressure started to take control pulling her deeper. Was this how her life was supposed to end? She tried to move one step back to move two forward. Autum lost to winter, the water starting to freeze.
Images rapidly flashed through her mind. Her family. Friends. Him. They all went with the river as she moved against it. They were moving while she fought.
It was as if a weight held her down. She remained in one place as the current continued. If only she could unsheathe her wand and free herself.
As life moves on, she stays in the same spot. Do people adapt to change? At least she knew one thing would never stay the same. No matter the blood, sweat, or tears, one definite thing would stay the same...
Time continued once more. The river flowed carrying her down, too tired to fight it anymore. The past would never overlap the present. She looked at him once more before turning away one final time. She whispered softly her final words to him. "I love you."
