Girl...Lost? (part 6)

“Maybe I am already dead? She said tearfully. But deep inside, Alice knew she was still alive. Her young heart was still pumping blood, making her aware that there was still life inside her. That was good, but at the same time, it saddened her. If she came back home, there would be nothing good waiting for her. Returning home would mean being back into a life where she felt as if she were nothing but a soulless kind of robot, designed to work like crazy. In her everyday life, there was no place for beautiful dreams... Maybe the reflection was wrong.
Feeling that darkness hitting her soul again, the blonde returned to the river, that same palce were she saw earlier that talking reflection. But this time, the only thing she found was a quiet stream of water.
“What if I can end all of this madness right now? She smiled among tears.
Without giving it a second thought, she, who always was against taking one´s life, tried to drown in that murky-looking river. But somehow, she douldn´t do it. It was as if those waters were rejecting her body.
“No, dear. Is not your time to go yet. Try to find the true answer”, a voice whispered.
