Falling for the plant man
Chapter 1: Lost
She hated them. Stupid adoptive parents, thinking they knew her, Alexandra, god how she hated her name, and had the gall to always use it in condescending way. She stormed through the woods, wishing she was far away.
Her back pack filled with water bottles, canned food, and few choice clothes thumped kept lifting up and land on her back with a soft thump as she took each step as she ran. Alexandra never wanted to go back, she knew she would but she didn't want to.
Falling to the ground she started crying, harder and harder until Alexandra felt sleep take hold of her and a nightmare (memories) she hadn't had in awhile came up:
'You stupid pyro, you burnt down the playground.' Frederick yelled at her as a six year old. He and his group of friends, both male and female, picked up rocks and started throwing them at her.
She screamed as one of those rocks thrown by a girl named Emilli hit her in the head. 'Please stop, it was an accident.' Alexandra sobbed as she felt blood poor into her eyes making them sting. 'Please stop hurting me.'
They kids through more rocks at her and Alexandra turned trying to run as far away as she could.
The dream shifted to one when she was thirteen:
'Are daughter needs help, Ashley.' Her father said. 'She starts fires for no reason and then laughs at whatever she burns. She's a pyro.'
The words sent chills done the black haired girls back. Her strangely moonlight gray eyes glistened with tears as her father argued with her mother about sending her to get help.
'Mommy, why are you crying?' Alexandra's baby sister asked when she heard the fighting.
'No reason, Jackie. Go back to bed.' Her mother picked the little girl up and started to head for the stairs that she was occupying.
Getting up, she silently ran to her room. She felt emotionally distraught, and when she felt this way she need to burn something, and that is exactly what she did.
She went up stairs to the attic and lit a small fire, and watched as it burn. Finally she decided that her emotions were under control she went to put out. Alexandra grabbed the fire extinguisher and turned started to spray the fire but it wasn't working.
The fire consumed more of the attic, heading for the stairs. Alexandra knew it was out of control, she had to get her family out. She ran down the stairs before the fire could reach, and started screaming for everyone to get.
The fire spread quickly and she could no longer breathe the fumes causing her to pass out, she fell with by the couch.
Alexandra woke up; tear stains dried on her face. She got up and ripped a bit of her outfit and tied it on the tree to make sure she wouldn't know this place as one to go to and left her bag there.
The next day, Alexandra tried to get home but couldn't find the place. She sat down by the three strangely evenly space trees that she had tied a piece of her clothes to each one.
Face it Alex, you are lost. She thought to herself. But I never get lost. I've been in these woods hundreds of time.
You're lost. Her strange conscious told her.
No, I'm not; I'm just led myself into a misdirection.She argued with herself in her mind. I'll find my way home,………….. eventually, I hope.
