Some things never faded away from a person's mind, least of all a sound heard in the ghosts of dreams and times that were thought to be long gone, yet were desperately longed for to return. The conflict of emotions was warring brightly and fervently in her heart, but Rose was running before she had time to think about what was waiting for her once she reached her destination. There was no room for misinterpretation, no reason to think it would be any kind of trick - who in this place would bother deceiving her? - and so the reality was beginning to settle in, slowly, layer and bit at a time.
Her steps came to an abrupt, pounding halt and her breath was coming in faster exhales - she was in excellent shape but running that fast would have caused the need for deeper breathing in even the most physically fit individual - but she didn't feel the need to double over and hold herself together. Instead she turned her eyes skyward and waited, looking heavenward and then to the world around her, doing the only thing at that time which she could do - wait.
The waiting would continue to be the hardest part, but it would be over soon.
