It was a normal windy autumn’s day in Cologne. The red orange tree leaves were falling onto the cracked pavement from the tall and heavy tree’s coating the streets in their colour as the town’s people walked through them, the children picking them up and throwing them at each other. The wind was picking them up, soaring them through the air and all over people’s driveways. The sky was a fading blue colour, being taken over by the grey mist of clouds which were getting darker and darker in colour as it looked as though they were going shower everyone in cold rain.

Inside of the Bergmann house Emma and Jenny were seated at the dining room table. A mass of books about Ancient History spread open before them like a sea of knowledge just waiting to be absorbed up by young minds. As Emma picked up an old and heavy library book, she began to read aloud to Jenny.

“Hatshepsut was considered one of the greatest rulers, male or female of her time. Born during Egypt’s 18th dynasty, she was able to rise from princess to queen to pharaoh. Her rise to the throne, though against ideals of the time, might have inspired others, such as Cleopatra. During this time she was able to expand trade, watch the Egyptian economy grow and improve as well as build and restore the temples of Egypt. Hatshepsut did this by claiming right of male, being in the image of the Sphinx. She strapped a golden beard to her chin and often dressed in male clothing.”

“So let me get this right. Hatshepsut was a female, but dressed as a guy, so she could play king?” Jenny asked dropping her head into her hands. They had been studying for 3 hours and Jenny was getting frustrated at how she was finding it difficult to learn this stuff.

“Jenny, she dressed as a guy because she was the pharaoh. She was not playing king sweetie” Emma said patiently as she rubbed Jenny’s back softly.

Jenny got up from the table, taking her empty glass with her over to the sink to refill it with water. As Jenny was filling up her glass, she could hear Emma softly reading to herself about the pharaoh’s of Egypt. They had a test in a week on this subject and Jenny was feeling out of place with it. She was frustrated and she couldn’t decipher all the information going into her brain which was starting to give her a headache. She didn’t know why she was having so much trouble with the subject and it was making her slightly angry at herself.

The brunette, pulled from her thoughts as her phone started to ring and vibrate from the coffee table. Jenny quickly turned the tap off and put her glass of water down as she ran over to her phone to answer it. She glanced at the caller ID and saw that Sophie was calling her. She hit the answer button and put the phone to her ear.

“Hello Sophie”

“Jenny, I learnt a new language, want to hear” Sophie yells into the phone, making Jenny move it away from her ear as she starts to make hissing sounds.

“Sophie, why are you hissing are you hurt?” Jenny asked, not following.

“No silly, I’m speaking Parseltongue, I watched Harry Potter and now I’m a pro speaker of the snake language” Sophie said as she laughed into the speaker.

“Sophie, where are you, I can come get you. I know you’re high” Jenny said wanting to help her.

“I’m in a magical place right now and everything is green” she said as she hung up the phone.
Jenny turned to Emma, she could tell by the look on Emma’s face she was not going to approve of her helping Sophie, but she tried to tell her anyway.

“Emma, I need to go find Sophie” Jenny said cautiously studying Emma’s reaction to her words.

“Jenny, you know how I feel about this. I’m going to say it only once. I think you should leave Sophie alone. It’s not your job to watch her constantly and with your history, I think it’s best you do leave her alone” Emma said as calmly as she could even though she just wanted to yell at Jenny as she could feel her anger boiling over at the subject of Sophie.

“What Emma, do you think that trying to help Sophie is going to get me to use again” Jenny yelled as all her emotions of the day started to spill over, even though none of them should have been directed at Emma. Jenny knew this but she just couldn’t stop speaking as her emotions got the better of her. “Don't you think that maybe I want to do something good for her and help her get clean from using drugs. I would never touch them again, and here you are my girlfriend thinking that I may get pulled back into the type of lifestyle”

“I’m not going to speak to you when you are being like this Jenny” Emma said calmly as she collected her books and left the Bergmann’s house to go home, to let Jenny try and calm herself down.

As Jenny watched Emma walk away, she turned around and grabbed a heavy book off of the table and threw it across the room in pure anger while screaming at it. She went over to her CD player and turned the volume of it up. Jenny knew that dancing always helped her to calm down and so she danced angry ballet around the living room limberly as she tried to release all her pent up emotions through her favourite type of art. It had been at least half an hour since Emma left and Jenny still felt the raging emotion of anger inside of her. The brunette decided to get changed into her running clothes and see if running would help her emotions to dissipate.

As Jenny left the house, she jogged down the street, enjoying the air on her face. She turned a corner, jogging down another long road. Jenny, out of the corner of her eye saw an alley way leading to a back street which she hadn’t noticed before and thought that some new scenery may help to improve her mood. She ran along the rough and uneven pavement, small pieces of broken gravel hitting her ankles as she ran. As she came to the clearing on the other side of it, she noticed it was a forest type of area. She started to run towards it, she could still feel the raging anger inside of her and she didn’t care where she ran as long as she could just run.

She ran, fast, as she dodged the tall, thick, looming trees and jumped over the dark fallen mouldy tree logs, the sun was setting in the distance making a pinkish hue in the sky as the dark grey clouds started to fill the sky. Jenny ran faster and faster, she could feel the anger and rage inside of her belly starting to dissipate. The ground beneath her feet was getting harder and harder to run on as the trees became more closely compacted together, she slowed her run to a jog. Her foot got caught on a root, she fell forward landing on the ground with a thud, winded by the impact. She laid there on the ground for a bit catching her breath. She looked at her surroundings, taking in the night sky looming in the distance.

The tree stump was half sitting over a small rocky cliff Jenny noticed as she impacted the ground below, landing on her right arm. Pain shot from her wrist up to her elbow and down to the tips of her fingers. She hissed in pain as she dragged herself up nursing her injured arm close to chest. She looked up from where she fell from. It was only about a meters drop she could see over the ledge but she had no way of getting back up there. She felt a water drop hit her cheek, it had started to rain. Jenny looked around her surroundings frantically looking for someplace to take shelter so the storm brewing in the sky could pass without her getting too wet.

She walked along the side of the ledge and into some dense forest area the rain was getting heavier as she sped up her walking pace. In the distance she could see a tree with a hollow trunk. She walked towards it, looking to see if it would have enough protection against the storm. It did, she went inside of it and sat down in the corner pulling her knees up to her body and resting her arm. She tried to move her fingers and she could slightly. She had broken her wrist, she was sure of it. She had sprained wrists and pinched nerves before but they were nowhere near as painful as the pain she was feeling in her wrist. It was now pouring down rain, the sky was rumbling and Jenny was scared. She was outside alone in a place she hadn’t explored before, it was night time, there was a storm, she was injured and most of all she wanted to be with Emma. She placed her head on her knees, she thought back on the events of the day, she felt so many thing today she could feel her headache from before returning as the tears fell from her eyes down her ruby cheeks until she was taken over by the familiar darkness of sleep.
