She could feel the cool night breeze caressing her silky smooth skin as she made her way down the alley to meet her knight in shining armour - the love of her life, the one.

It had been several months since their eyes last met. The call of duty keeping them apart for those long and heartbreaking months, but their love endured all that was thrown between them.

Despite the re-occuring wounds their love endured, it florished like weeds in a pasture. Despite the amount of times they are ripped up and torn to pieces, they returned in full bloom.

Her eagerness to stare into his eyes one more time and see the kind and caring soul she adored so much, drove her to hurry down the laneway to the meeting place, The Glenrowan Tavern.

As she entered the tavern, she could feel the warm, smokey air engulf her body, ravaging away the silkiness of her skin and depositing a thick layer of soot and dirt.

Her eyes scanned from one side of the tavern to the other, searching for the familar face in the bustling crowd of patrons, but only finding the ogling stares of sleazy drunkards.

Her heart dropped to her stomach, as she strolled over to the bar, avoiding the grasping hands of the unruly men.

"I'm looking for a lietenant browncoat with the 66th division. They were supposed to arrive back tonight, from Serenity Valley," she queried the barkeep, with pleading eyes, as her eyes flicked around the tavern.

"Haven't you heard, miss," the barkeep replied, before beginning to explain what had happened at Serenity Valley.

His words were drowned out at the deafening howls of the young woman, as her heart was turned to stone, yanked out dropped upon the cold stone floor, shattering to a thousand pieces.
