Bella lay on her back, staring up at the ribbons of colour playing in the sky. What a beautiful sunset to behold. Beside her, Belie sat, the sound of her pen scratching against her notebook made Bella chuckle. "Can't you just relax for a moment, Belie?" she asked her apprentice. She nudged her and after a few moments, there was silence.
Around them, the wind caressed the grass and nearby, a bird sang a song of serenity. There was something about this place that brought absolute peace. It had been hours since Bella had even through of having a smoke. She's barely felt a twinge of pain in her leg, she'd neglected to think about all the unfortunate events that had already occurred in her young life. Perhaps there was more to this life. Perhaps it wasn't all negative, and perhaps she didn't have to go through this life fighting, literally and figuratively. It was amazing the lengths she'd gone through to find some meaning in her life. The illegal fighting rings, she rebellion, the attempt at total polygamy? Who was she kidding? She was still unsure of just what it meant to be in a committed relationship, but even when she claimed to be polygamous, had she once dared to warm someone else's bed? Who was she? "Bella?" Belie quietly questioned beside her. "Yeah?" "What are you thinking?" Bella went silent. She rolled onto her stomach with a sigh. It dawned on her how much Belie looked up to her; both as an older sister and as a teacher. She doubted that she had the ability to be a proper role model, but Belie saw something in her that no one else saw. She saw the real Bella crying out for freedom, even when everyone else saw the crazy girl that flung herself off a balcony. But... was she the only one? Isa had gotten her back on her feet and had even encouraged her to go on a friendly date. She wished she could see what her loved ones saw in her. "I'm thinking how grateful I am to be alive," she replied.
