Aria!!! [Part-2]
Evening arrived before she realized it.
Yet the grave was still only halfway finished.
Aria sat back against the dirt while breathing heavily. Her hands trembled from exhaustion.
When she looked down, her fingers were dirty, bleeding, and swollen.
But strangely...
She felt nothing.
The pain inside her chest was far greater than the wounds on her hands.
Eventually she walked toward the nearby river to wash herself.
The cold water stung against the cuts immediately, making her flinch slightly.
Still she carefully cleaned the dirt and blood away.
The river reflected her exhausted face back at her.
Black hair covered in dust.
Red swollen eyes.
A girl who looked far older than her age.
After washing her hands, Aria searched through several abandoned homes hoping to find medicine or bandages.
As expected...
There was nothing left.
So instead she gathered nearby medicinal leaves and wrapped them around her wounds carefully.
