Dying embers
@Monica Evans, Credit to @Draven Mirador for the awesome thread name
She was alone. Her friend; gone. Boyfriend; gone. What had she done with herself? Duvessa stifled a sob. No, she mustn't be seen or heard by anyone, least of all a Prefect. The duelist leant against the tree, hugging her legs and eyes puffy and blotchy with tears. She would never find a best friend like Kee...hell, she missed her now, when they were in the argument. All was lost.
The breeze weaved around her, cooling her hot cheek. It couldn't be like this, she had to be strong. But instead of feeling that she burst into another flood of tears. She couldn't carry on like this. What would Lorita say if she saw her like that? Cry if you want to, Essa, but I know you'll survive, she remembered what she said a couple of years ago and tried to smile. It looked like she had a tooth ache so switched it off quickly.
Like a flame she once held around herself, it slowly began to flicker as if plunging her into darkness. Now what was left was dying embers and coal. Duvessa pressed her head against the tree, fiddling with a piece of grass forcefully. Her rat was scouting around, probably in the nearby bush or another, creating the soft rustle of dead leaves.
The thread we agreed to do ages ago

Thoughts: ✕
Quotes: ✕One. Two. Three. The slytherin walked, counting her steps as she went.
Four. Five. Six. She had no direction of where she was going, nor a purpose to why she was walking.
Seven. Eight. Nine. Perhaps it was just the vibe of the day, the urge to go for a little stroll.... Or maybe she was so bored she figured she could just allow herself to wonder, just a bit.
The day was peaceful. A light breeze brushed across her face, the crunch of stones under her steps as she trailed along. Kiwi dozing on her shoulder, the slight heat from her little body was the only reminder of the rodents presents during the walk.
Twenty-four. Twenty-five. Twenty...... What was that?
Monica stopped. Kiwi stirred at the change of pace, her ears perked up, now fully alert to the world around her. Monica stood perfectly still.... was that.... Was someone crying?
The prefect scanned her surroundings, and there, off a ways, at the base of a tree she saw someone. She directed her new path towards the soul, as the gap between them shrank, Monica noticed it was Duvessa.... was she crying?
She held her ground a ways behind the girl, now afraid to startle her, she simply cleared her voice in a hushed tone, enough to be heard, but hopefully not frighten the fellow Slytherin. She dare not say anything.... or wait maybe she should.... Once her presence was known, she spoke in a soft voice, "Hey.... are you doing okay?"OOC:So sorry for the lateness!
