The Devil's Sweetheart

Lightning flashed across the sky.

Thunder cracked with a loud rumble against the chilly winds terrifying the whole city. Animals trembled under the ferocious storm masking for shelter beneath the trees. The clouds wailed shedding tears of rainy beads while the gentle pitter-patter rain droplets turned into heavy thuds as if thrashing a hail of bullets into the mother earth.

Amidst the chaos, a young girl tumbled and slipped from a high-end cliff, the trees and branches thrashing her along the way perpetually. The happy-looking face once filled with warmth muddled with fear. The trees gave away halfway down the cliff and before she knew it, she hurled over the rocks. Her body ached in pain with each hit and when she thought it would be over, she was thrashed by another. She felt powerless and wailed in agony with the continuous hitting of rocks and trees. She wished this torture would end once for all until the cliff turned steeper again. Her loud cries reverberated into the sky when she was hit by another massive stone. She was grasping the weak thread of life and death, she strived to wake up but the monster inside her forced controlled her weak struggles. Finally, she let herself carried away for she has nothing to lose when she is about to knock on the graveyard doors.

"Make sure she would end up in the hospital. Killing her gives me no sense of satisfaction. I want her crippled for a lifetime". The shrill voice of the person drummed into her ears while she slid from the cliff. She shuddered with fear but she was in no state to worry about it when she was holding the rope of life and death.

'Did they hate me to the point of cutting my wings'?

'Is this the end of my life?' Her voice tremored in fear with each word she muttered.

If there is a rebirth she wanted to start where she was before and change the ending so as not to meet that person. Unfortunately, there is no such bizarre thing, life has to move on.

Gods have listened to her plea finally and the girl collapsed and passed out.

Leena jerked from her nightmare sweating all over her body. The nightmare felt so real, she could sense tears rolling down her cheeks. She clutched her chest in desperation to calm down her heart.

"It's ok. It happened long ago", Leena tried to control the thought but her breath hitched and she gasped for air taking deep breaths to calm down her raging heart. She could still sense dizziness after she woke up from that dreadful nightmare and felt like she went on a roller coaster ride down the hill. The dream felt so real, she struggled to distinguish the reality from her nightmare.

It's been five years. Still, she couldn't forget that terrifying night. She wished it was a nightmare and wake up to see the happy girl whose only worry on the day was to either eat an apple or a banana, but reality hit her hard. She wished she could forget her painful memories and the person who caused it but she couldn't. Things end, but memories last forever.

5 years back, she fell down from a 270 foot cliff. It was a medical miracle she survived from the accident.The loss of something important to her on that dreadful night made her grieve in pain. To her further agony, the doctors revealed she may not walk again. Leena felt like someone had ripped her heart taking her soul away when she heard those words.

What is the use of her being alive when she has to depend on others for a lifetime? Where did it go wrong? Trusting him was the sin she committed?

She cried countless nights. Her anger and emotions all flared up at once, Leena lost the urge to live but she held back. There is something in her belief not to give up. She wanted to walk again and move from the darkness and show the world of her loss.

And she did it.

She wiped her own tears, tend to her wounds, guarded her broken heart. At the difficult times, she found her comfort through yoga to divert from her pain and fight her inner demons. She dived herself deep into practice for years. Bit by bit, she put herself together, walked again, and gave herself a second chance. There was a point in time she wished to get revenge on the one who pushed her into this state. But she questioned herself, Does my revenge can bring back the years of agony and the pain I suffered?

No!

Instead, she chooses the path of redemption.
