Forgotten Spirit

Why me? she wondered, flitting about. Why me? Why'd they forget me? Why?
The expanse was lonely now, the white normally so inviting was icy and forbidding. They had all left at the first hind of danger. Every last one of them was gone but her.
They left me. Why'd they leave me? she cried, her innocent face crumpling into tears.
With a heart wrenching crack, her sobs abruptly stopped. She did not hear the voices. "Ah, it seems they did leave one. How careless of them. Those spirits aren't very aware, are they?"
"It's no matter. This one will suffice for now."
When they were gone, all that was left of the forgotten spirit was red against the white.
