Hey, I found this really cool community
So, I found this really cool community that gives a writing prompt a day and I decided to join. I really love this idea. I did two entries.
AROUND THE CORNER
around the corner...
lies my fear
my dread
my hope
my failure
and yet around the corner...
the change I need
the promise of a bright future
and the love I seek
Will I take my chance and turn the corner?
or will I run backwards,
fleeing the uncertainty it brings?
What is behind that corner could ruin me,
could shame me
could destroy my heart
or it could
bring me back from darkness
return my strength
make me the person I'm meant to be.
Or there could be another corner.
Well, here we go
For better or for worse,
in sickness and in health
for richer or for poorer...

TRUST
"You have to trust me, I did all I did to protect you and our children!" hot tears searing my frozen cheeks. All this time, and I thought he'd been trying to take them from me and make sure I was locked up in that hellish prison my father made just for me. My powers could not work there, I have been there once.
Our son, grown now, is just learning to trust me, not that he should. I left him with a family until my husband found him, only then did he learn the truth. The past
16 years spent hiding from this man and my father. And it turns out that he was trying to find us to keep us safe.
I pulled my hand away from his. "no, it's a lie. This is all a lie! My father sent you didn't he?" I moved my hands to cast a strong attack.
"Stop! don't you see? I risked everything to keep you and our son safe! I never would have worked for your father the last 16 years! I love you" and he grabbed me and kissed me. His kiss heating my lips like a hot iron. There was truth in what he said, I could tell by his kiss. The momentum for my attack, stopped. I didn't know I still loved him. The emotions flooded my body with heat. My stomach fluttered. I felt emotions I had not felt in a long time. I had shut my heart. How could I learn to trust him again. My father had tried to kill me and my family, several times, when I wouldn't join him. My own mother had disappeared almost 10 years ago and has not been seen since. She is probably dead, knowing my father, or in some dark corner of his terribly prison.
My husband had worked as my fathers right hand man. It had only been by chance that he had caught up to me at last. I had only been minutes away from alluding him again. My own sister had been imprisoned by them both, and had been returned as a different shell of a person. Who knows what horrible things they both did to her.
"Look, I'm tired of chasing you. I want to help you. We will make sure your father pays. I need you to trust me. I promise, I will never do this to you again. I'm sorry I made you run. I'm done running, it took me 16 years to catch you, I'm not going to let you go again" he pulled me in and hugged me gently, just like he did the day I found out he joined my fathers army. He was crying, I felt the wetness of cold tears on his cheeks "I'll never leave you again. Let's finish what we started 16 years ago"he whispered, holding me tighter. "please, trust me. We need to work together to bring him down. We can do this. Just trust me, Sam" He used my common name. One that only he knew.
I have to trust him. For our son. I feel that he is telling the truth this time. Something in me always knew that he would not have done what he did without reason.
"I did horrible things, Sam! I lost myself. Please, let me do this to end it all!"he then pulled back, and rested his forehead against mine. I understand. My focus turned now, to bringing my power back to what it was. I started to feel emotions again. Something that had been asleep inside me, awoke with a spark coming out of my fingers. My blood turning to fire as the long dormant crystals were again awakened. It had been too long. Something else tinged at my mind. I looked around at his men, my fathers men. In a heart beat, now that my power was back, I could destroy every one of them. But something else too, I would not. This time, I would trust him. We wound end it once and for all.
