I screamed. I shouted, I howled, I yelled, I hollered until my throat hurt and began to burn. Even then I continued to scream, words, phrases, songs, blank noise. I needed that distraction, wanted that distraction. Thunder crashed every few minutes, but I could barely hear it over my screams.

Soon enough however, I found that I could not carry on. My head pounded, my heart raced like a freight train, throat screaming back in pain almost as loudly as I had been shouting, and sweat beaded my forehead. Fear began to set in again, as the image of the people I could never forgive loomed before me, smiles on their faces. Menacing, foreboding. Hate boiled up within me, but I was helpless, and I knew it. They approached without remorse, without the fear I felt. They had no care for me, they just wanted me gone, no matter the cost, and I watched it again, and again, and again as my mind tortured me with memories that I only wanted to forget.

I couldn't even wimper now, shivers wracking my body, paralyzed as my mind forcibly showed me my parents, again and again and again.

And at last, when I thought I could not go on, as black, darker than the night, began to claim my vision, as my breath caught and my heart threatened to explode out of my aching chest, there was a knock on the door, a lifeline for me, an escape from this misery.

I leapt up like a tightly wound spring, and flew to the door, ripping it open. Standing there was a slight girl, with short dark curls, and a slight smile. She had a few flashlights in her hand, and silently handed one to me. "Heya Amalee," she said to me, and pulled me in for a hug.

"Hi Sylvie," I whispered back, throat still aching.

"Are you alright honey?" she asked me, concern etching across her face.

I took a moment to breath, holding her tightly. "Not without someone, Sylvie. You." @Fannygirdle on Twitter | Co-Owner of The Scrying Pool, a future updates and lore clan

She smiled down at me. "Come on, I'll sit and talk if that's what you want Amalee. They're gone now, and you know that. You're safe." She took my free hand, and led me into the kitchen.

"Everything's going to be okay..."

Mrrp, only needed a few more characters to finish this... Anyway, feedback would be lovely, so if edits are needed, I can go ahead and make them!

Thanks for the great prompt! @Fannygirdle on Twitter | Co-Owner of The Scrying Pool, a future updates and lore clan

Thanks :D I'm glad you're an Ama fan as well - I've had this name for a good year and a half, after playing through the amazing desert series :)

Please let me know when you write it; I'd love to read it! I'm planning on working on some of my own, though in Quest Suggestion format, as that's what I enjoy doing a lot! @Fannygirdle on Twitter | Co-Owner of The Scrying Pool, a future updates and lore clan

Thank you for the suggestion :) I was looking over them earlier actually! Not sure how active I'd be in stories though - I do quite a lot of work in Suggestions and Future Updates, and moderate several non-Runescape forums, but even so, likely worth it.

Would the piece here be useable as an application piece? @Fannygirdle on Twitter | Co-Owner of The Scrying Pool, a future updates and lore clan

I think it would be - I've used pieces, originally written for contests, in my applications. You don't really have to be active around here, although it would be helpful. 75% of the people who have joined The Novelist's Guild are now inactive for a variety of reasons, although the 25% who are (including me) keep the thread alive.
