Lost Souls I'll do anything to see you again... ANYTHING!

William throws a rock into the puddle making mud and water splash out of the puddle...

William

Why?! Why can't I have it?!

He grabs a bigger rock and threw it into the lake.

William

Why?! Just WHY?! You have to come back...

He then falls to the floor sitting staring at his reflection at the edge of the lake

William

You can't leave me... I thought you were different...

He tHen goes to his knees beginning to sob hysterically between his sobbing

William

I thought you were the one! I can't lose you too!!!

He then wipes away his tears and shouts

William

I'll do anything for you...

William

ANYTHING!!!!

He slams his hands against the nearby tree leaving a large dent in the bark

William

They always betray me in the end leaving when I need them most...

He then hears a soft voice behind him... "Are you okay?"

William looks behind him and a couple feet away a woman in a green cloak brown hair her hands together in front of her.

Sarah

You alright?

He immediately gets up and covers his face with his cloak for a moment to dry his face and looks to her.

William

Yes. I'm doing fine.

She looks over to the tree he was next too as it creaks and looks at the large dent in the tree and the large chunk of bark next to him

Sarah

So that, wasn't you?

William

I won't lie like a coward. So yes it was me.

He tries to straighten his posture trying to look more confident and less disturbed.

William

What is a lady like you doing out in the woods by yourself?

William

Especially at this time of night? There are dangerous things in these woods you know...

Sarah

I was looking for a certain paint ingredient that is easier to see in the dark.

William

Paint? Really?

William

That's the reason?

Sarah

Yes. Look.

She adjusts her cloak and shows a small sack and opens it showing glowing berries

William

Point made.

Sarah

Can I ask something now since you asked me something? That is if you don't mind...

William

Only seems fair. Go ahead.

Sarah

Why are you upset?
