The Great Fall
Chapter 4: Part 2: Animosity
Why do I have to question everything? My life was once so simple; but it was never enough. I go searching for answers and all I get are more questions... stones unturned that I probably should've left alone. This is exhausting. I'm trying to stay strong right now... I want to see this through. But, I'm falling apart. I feel like Jake can see right through me... But, Cain sees my strength and confidence as reassurance that everything is going to be fine. Quite frankly, I even started to fool myself for a little while. At least while I was busy. Now, laying here trapped in my own mind, I can't hide from it anymore. I used to know who I was and where I belonged. Now, for the first time... I'm unsure. I can feel my sense of self slowly slipping away. My very identity, seeming more and more like a big lie. My parents... the ones who could answer these questions for me, have been missing for years and are probably dead. So, where does that leave me? Am I going to be lost in this labyrinth of confusion forever? The boys are scoping out the other side and I'm trying to muffle my tears. I can't help but wonder... What am I going to find when these people come? The main reason I haven't turned back is because apparently there is more to this than my problems. Those papers we found spoke of war... and one that was coming soon. I HAVE to find out what that means for my people. I need to shove all of it down for now... I'll face it again when the time comes.
