Fable
Turning the doorknob with a heavy hand, Fable quietly clicked the door shut. The silence of the hallway was deafening. Her eyes darted around to make sure no one else was awake at this unforgivable hour. When she was only met with continuous silence did she finally release a breath. Tears stinging her eyes, she knew she needed to leave now, or she would never leave at all. The pace of her heart quickened with every second she stepped away from the room. Knowing what she was leave - whom she was leaving, was cleaving her heart into two. She felt as if every nerve and muscle keeping her whole, was slowly deteriorating. Making her body shake with fear and agony.
