They Were Over, a story of Addergoole Year 10-11-12-13, for the Giraffe Call @lilfluff
For 
lilfluff's prompt.
Nilam is an Addergoole: Yr9 characters. Forrester comes to school in Year 10.
She had thought she was done with him when he took the collar off her neck.
She walked away; he walked away. Neither of them were comfortable with the way the last year had gone. Neither of them wanted to be friends. They were over.
She had thought she was done with him when the dreams stopped.
She had a new Kept, a lovely boy who didn't fight her too hard and made the sweetest noises when she had to punish him. She curled up around him at night and, after a few months, she stopped dreaming of her former Keeper. They were over.
She thought she was done with him when he graduated.
Their daughter looked nothing like him and everything like her. Her dreams had stopped, the whispers of his Words not coming through, anymore, even when she scolded her Kept. She didn't say, anymore: good Kept do this, bad Kept do that, the way she had learned his Keeper's Keeper had said. She didn't punish her Kept for having thoughts. And she didn't dream about him anymore. They were over.
She thought she was done with him when she graduated.
She was leaving everyplace she'd ever known him, every place she'd ever seen him. She was leaving the last places that echoed with his name - and all the classmates that knew Forrester was Kept by Nilam, and look what that did. She was leaving everything behind that could in any way suggest Nilam. Everything.
She walked out of her new apartment and walked right into her former Keeper.
