Chapter 10

Alone in her chambers, Jewel sat quietly by the hearth watching its flickering blaze and listening to the crackling sounds it made as the hungry flames lapped their orange tongues against the charred logs. She had always enjoyed the tranquillity of a fire, its warmth and peace, and took comfort in it now. Yet the solitude that encased her set her mind to recalling fond memories of home and her family. How she longed to have someone put his arms around her in a tender moment, assure her that in time all her sorrow would fade and she could smile again, that somewhere in this awful world happiness reigned and someday would find its way to her. How could her life have been turned so upside down ... her future become the color of a storm-darkened sky? What had been God's purpose in sparing her? Tears glistening in her eyes, she blinked, sending a single crystal droplet down her cheek, and she turned away from the fire. There was no meaning to her existence with her family gone, only pain and misery. There was no one left who would mourn her passing and she suddenly realized the unimportance of her being.
