1A Chapter by mariei watched as the snow fell around me, gently floating through the air and coming to rest among the wild flowers. i lay there and smiled as i saw the small white specks appear, as if by magic, from the sky. a smile played its way upon my lips as a squirrel gathered its courage and ventured out closer to me. he paused seemingly pondering whether or not i was safe. a small flame of hope sparked inside of me and i held my breath, maybe today. my scent was mingled with that of his enemy and his ally so i knew that he would be a little frightened if he chose to come closer to me, i could hardly blame him.i was a confusion, a mix of humans and edrians. the squirrel made its way a little closer and made its decision dashing my hopes as it ran away. i sighed and slowly stood up, as was my custom. my pain came out in a rush, i could find any plant and name it tell if it could help or harm, i could climb a tree better than most i knew, i could run with the wind, but the animals knew what i was, a mistake, a fluke in nature something that should never have happened. no matter what the elders said i was a mistake without purpose. i began my trudge towards the village that held amara's home, my home, right on the edge as if it was the only thing not sure if it belonged i chuckled it sure sounded like me. when i came to the small three room house i opened the door silently as i possibly could hoping amara wouldn't hear me for once. © 2013 marie |
