((Open, but I'd rather you only join if you plan on being literate.))
Alone. The word echoed inside Athene's mind, again and again. She closed her eyes against the repetition, but it didn't halter. She felt the cold stone of the wall against her back as she fell against it, her entire body shaking.
Alone.
Tears stung at her eyes, and she felt herself fall, sliding down the wall. She shivered as she came to a halt, although if it were because of the iciness of the the floor or not, she could not tell. Her legs were curled loosely up to her chest, and her head lolled against her knees. Her breathing was sharp and shaky.
Alone.
Her eyes were open, but she could see nothing. It was morning, and yet all she could see was blackness, an abyss inside her head.
"I'm alone," she whispered, letting the tears flow down her cheeks. They tickled at her neck and caught on her lip, but she didn't wipe them away. The salt reminded Athene how alive she was. That she could still taste. The fingers of her right hand loosened, and her wand rolled soundlessly out. It wouldn't be any help to her now.
It was May 1st; Athene's birthday, and the Anniversary of her twin sisters death.
I'll always be alone.
