The sky was lit up by a radiant moon;he was finally complete after weeks of a spectral existence.
Her fingers curled around the window rails as she clenched her teeth,hoping against hopes that the pain would subside,that it would atleast become bearable.
She hated herself for the hope that she nurtured inside her,even when she could feel it inside her.It was draining her,eating her inside out,gnawing at her flesh,feasting itself on her bits and pieces.
She did not cry anymore;the tears ran down her cheeks on their own,along a path they knew by heart.She had given up on any show of weakness,she was strong and and she knew that strong people did not cry.
The air rustled past her;giggling on his way,mocking the tears on her face,the face that once threatened to take his breath away.
The earth shifted uneasily beneath her feet;letting out a mirthless rumble,mocking the hesitancy in her touch,the touch that once threatened to sweep him off his feet.
The wind caught her lustrous curls,playing with her fragrant tangles as he whistled to her the inevitable question."No!"was her answer,she was not ready yet or else she would have known.
Her heart still beat against her delicate frame in dread,fearing the impending doom.
She felt nothing at all,they had kept their promises after all.
She felt disturbingly calm inside,suddenly relieved of a huge weight,she felt like a gaping hole,an aching nothingness...everything was in order.
She smiled.
It was over,her errand was run.
The moon was complete after countless days,and so was she.
