The winds were blowing at scary speed. If she didn't hurry back, she was sure that she would get covered with sand in no time. However, she couldn't let go of this opportunity. The shadow in front of her was blurring with the wind but attempting to come back again and again to feel her. It caressed her face. She closed her eyes to let it feel her.
"That's you Ileus, right?" she asked, hoping against hope that she was correct. The black shadow reached her hair, but the storm had geared speed and the shadow slipped away and started to retreat. "Ileus!" She shouted as she got up and ran after it. She tried to grasp the shadow in her hands, but only dust came. "Ileus, come back!" she cried. "Please…" she pleaded with him. "I don't like it here. I need you," a sob raked her shoulders. Tears rolled out unbridled. There was no one who would understand her agony. She could tell it to no one.
