Sandra ran deep into the woods, her body still pulsing with the flames... She felt suffocated by the emotions raging inside her. She clenched her fists, looking up at the dark sky she raised her hands to the sky a Massive wave of purple fire burst into the sky.
The flames twisted into a Spiral, reaching the heavens like an Inferno. The power of her emotions sent shockwaves through the air, the sky darkened unnaturally, the wind howled and the very balance of nature trembled.
It was a small sizzle at first, then a heavy downpour the sky responded to Sandra's unstable emotions, causing a sudden and unnatural climate shift. The storm, raged above, as if mourning her pains, Sandra stood in the rain, soaked but her PURPLE FIRE still flickering in her body. Tears mixed with the rain on her face...
+++++
The days that followed were filled with unbearable silence, Selene and Sandra did not speak a single word to each other. Sandra avoided Selene at all costs, if they crossed paths in the palace halls, she would walk past her as if she didn't exist.
If Selene entered her room, Sandra would leave without a second glance. The warmth that once existed between them was gone, replaced by a suffocating coldness. Selene was devastated, her heart ached with every passing day. She hadn't slept properly since the fight, her mind constantly replaying that horrible moment at school.
She barely ate, barely spoke to anyone, Sandra on the other hand acted as if nothing had happened. She spent most of her time in the Piano room and the Luminara Academy... She is training hardly and exhausting herself with combat drills, or isolating herself in the woods, where she could unleash her Fire without anyone around.
But no matter how much she trained, how much she Burned, the pain inside her refused to fade. Laura and William noticed the tension between their daughter and Selene. They all become worried about their children.
At dinner Sandra in complete silence, she is very tired of pushing herself to training and releasing large amount of her fire made her look tired and dizzy. Selene's eyes were red from crying. Tina and Anvi tried to lighten the mood, cracking jokes, but the atmosphere was too heavy.
Their parents exchanged worried glances, after dinner Laura found Sandra alone in the palace garden, starring blankly at the sky. "Sandra..." Laura said gently sitting beside her daughter. "You can't keep running from this" Sandra didn't respond, her gaze only fixed on the Stars and the Moon.
"I know you're angry, I know you're hurt but avoiding Selene is really what you want?" Sandra couldn't say anything, she didn't want to stay away from Selene and also hurt her for being so harsh on Selene but her anger made Sandra to stay away from Selene.
Sandra said, "Selene let another girl kiss her..." Laura stayed silent for a moment and she said "She is been trying to explain herself ever since, but you refuse to listen." but Sandra didn't say anything because she know that Selene is trying her best to convince her and prove that she is loving only her. Sandra's fear and anger is the reason that she is staying away from Selene.
Laura sighed, "Sandra love is not just about passion or trend. It is about understanding and forgiveness...." Sandra finally looked at her mother Laura and said, "Forgiveness? You expect me to just forget what I saw?" Laura tried to explain to her daughter slowly, "No but I expect you to talk to her, to listen."
Sandra clenched her fists, she knew her mother was right, But the pain of betrayal still burning inside her. Selene's body grew weak from not eating, her sleepless nights made her pale and fragile. But her biggest pain wasn't her own suffering... It was Sandra's Silence.
Selene tried everything.... She waited outside Sandra's room every morning Sandra ignored her, she left handwritten letters on desk but Sandra never read them. Selene reached her breaking point, she stood outside Sandra's bedroom door she knocked the door but answer from Sandra.
"Please Sandra just talk to me. I'll do anything just please don't push me away" but there is no response... Her chest tightened painfully, tears welled in her eyes. "I love you Sandra" her voice was barely audible and she is crying very hard.... "I love you more than anything."
Later, she walked back to her room, she collapsed onto her bed and crying... She is holding the photo of Sandra and thinking about their sweet moments... This made her heart ache.... "I am sorry Sandra, please talk to me.....
In Sandra's room she heard all the words of Selene and she is crying.... But still she did not do anything____ still the image of Yara kissing Selene was in her mind all the time.
