"Ok Chaser, time for your walk." I said.
My husky, Chaser, barked eagerly.
I put up my hair in a ponytail. I was a medium-sized girl with long black hair and red eyes.
Most people found that strange, but a few rare others thought it was cool. We stepped outside, and almost instantly a cold air blew against my tan skin.
I shivered, and made a jacket appear on my shoulders. I had a rare ability, the ability to make things appear out of thin air.
But more on that later.
Promise.
Me and Chaser walked through the snow and into the forest near my house.
We lived in the Volcanic Ashes, a canyon created by an erupting volcano. As we were walking, I suddenly heard something.
It sounded like crying. I blinked, and tied Chaser's leash around a tree. Then I followed the sound until I came to a clearing. Sitting in the clearing was a little girl.
She was only the slightest but shorter than me, and she had medium length golden curls. Her white shirt was tattered and worn, and her pale blue skirt didn't look much better. I walked over to her and knelt down.
"Hello. I'm Shadow. What are you doing here?" The girl looked up.
"I- I don't know." she whimpered.
Poor thing looked scared out of her skull.
"Tell you what. You come back with me and my dog, and we'll look after you for a bit. OK?" The girl trembled but nodded slightly.
"Great!" I clapped my hands together and stood up.
"Well, let's get going!" The girl rose and followed me back to Chaser. I untied him and we made it back to the house.
Once we were settled in, the girl sat on the couch with a bowl of soup.
I looked over at her.
"Hey, I never got your name. What was it again?"
The girl opened her mouth to answer, but suddenly her eyes flashed black before she responded.
"I- I can't remember much. I think it was…"
The girl paused.
"Brisky? No. Breesky? No…Wait! Now I remember! Breezy." Suddenly her nose scrunched up.
"At least… I think so…" Breezy laid down.
"I'll try to remember…" she sank into sleep, her voice fading out into soft snores.
I sighed and sat down on the floor as I scratched Chaser between the ears.
"There's something about her…" I murmured to him.
"Something I just can't place my finger on…"
