Fading out

Faith's scream pierced the silence of time. Love and Hope dropped whatever they were doing and rush into the room only to find Faith crouched at the corner of the room, her eyes filled with fear staring straight ahead. Love and Hope followed her gaze. What they saw stunned them . Straight ahead was Faith's wheel spinning as fast as it could. But what it was spinning was threads of fire. It was not just flames of fire but each thread was on fire as if it was an ornament for the thread. As the threads pile up it looked like a huge long a tail of an ancient dragon. A sight they have never seen before.

"Look Hope" whispered Love and pointed at the other two spinning wheels. Love's wheel was spinning black threads while Hope's threads were fading away becoming translucent in the process. The threads in combination was uncannily melodious but it was obvious that something was terribly wrong in a rather extreme manner.

"I had no idea. It suddenly caught fire and I remove my hands before it could burn me. Everything was going hay wired. I had no idea what to do. Your wheels were also spinning in a weird manner. I just didn't know how to react. I have never expected this to happen" cried Faith out of the blue moon. Love kneel down to comfort Faith. Hope moved around carefully analyzing what was in front of her.

"Hmm... this is not good at all. We are heading for disaster"

"What is wrong Hope? What do you see?"asked Love as she helped Faith to her feet. She was slowly recovering from the initial shock and was waiting to see what Hope had discovered.

" She is angry with you Faith"

Faith gasped, "But what have I done?"

Hope closed her eyes. She started chanting softly and despite her eyes begin closed, Faith and Love could see that they were darting from one point to another. It was as if she was looking at something and they knew she was. Hope was looking at the event that has caused such a reaction. She frowned and her eyebrows were locked in a rather engaging mode. Faith and Love waited anxiously to see what she had to say. After what seemed like eternity, Hope opened her eyes and sighed. She motioned the two of them to come to her side and to hold her hands. When they did so, Faith and Love was hit with a wave of images. They both quickly closed their eyes and steady the images. After a few minutes they both opened their eyes befuddled with what they have seen. Faith was the first to break the silence.

"I cannot believe that she thinks it was my fault. She thinks I am a twisted sick person playing games with her", fumed Faith who once again had regained her cool rationality. "Its not my fault if she was disappointed with her own expectations. If things does not go her way she blames me. She was disappointed with her own self and she has the audacity to blame me"

"Well, I think she was heart broken. I think she expected him to be there and he was not. I think she just no longer can take it. After all we are all stuck in a rut when it comes to her situation and it is hard to explain to her what is going on. I mean she is partly to be blamed because she just chooses to see what she wants to see and seem to interpret things wrongly" added Love

"I mean after all we have done for her she is so ungrateful and she just chooses to do things her way without thinking. I just don't see what we should take this from her. And if she thinks she is so smart, well she can just go and end her life. I mean I really don't need her. She thinks she controls me. She does not owe me anything, I just move on to someone else, a new assignment for me. How dare she thinks that I am dependent on her?" bellowed Faith. She felt her temper rising and was really getting annoyed with this girl and suddenly was tempered to just snap the threads of her life away. She looked at Hope who had just chosen to remain silent throughout and now had moved to her spinning wheel. She was looking closely at her thread but he thoughts were else where. Faith called out her name. She looked up

"Put yourself in her shoes Faith for once. She is in a difficult position. Think about it. For once in her life she has fallen in love and yet her loved ones don't really approve of who she has fallen in love. I mean they still fear for her safety despite the fact they would do anything to make her happy. Her happiness is their happiness. She is not sure if she is making the right decision. The man who stole her heart had asked her to find a better treasure and felt her in the ruts. She gets messages that does not make sense. She wants to give up but she realise all would be wasted and he loved one would get hurt and yet she cannot find replace the heart she has lost. She doubts herself and her self esteem is down. He life is stagnant and she just holding on to what she presumes is a learning part of her life and even that is slowly fading of her. She apologises many times but her mind is not stable and finally she decides to sacrifice herself and even then she is not convinced of what she is doing." Hope paused.

Faith pondered for a while. " I suppose its not easy but what can we do?"she asked but before Hope could answer Love interrupted.

"We have to wait until she clears her thoughts. But I suppose now what she is doing is clearing her frustration and let's just pardon her for it. I am sure it will clear don't worry Faith and don't be cross with her"She smiled and Faith heaved a sigh and smiled back.

" Well I hope so too. If not it will be too late to do anything... I really hope so"" replied Hope as she worriedly caressed her thread that was fading in her own hands.
