It was just another night.
The stars were out and the sky was dark.
Everything was quiet and the only thing that was heard was the noise of some little animals, that were searching for food and the breath of one person.
It was a young girl, sitting in a trailer. The window was opened wide and she was looking up at the stars. Her braid was hidden under a bonnet, a smal smile was on her lips.
That was me.
My name is Persepone but everyone just calls me Percey.
When I was 8 years old I was adopted by Victoria Cloak.
It wasn`t one of these stories where she was a terrible person who let me work all day or something like that.
No, she was the perfect mother.
Friendly and Funny, but strict if it had to be. And without wanting to make myself bad, but with me it had to be more then just a few times.
Since that day I lived with her at Fairytale, a Circus.
It was great, really. I went to school in whatever town we were just in, I saw a lot of the world and met thauseds of people.
But sometimes, always moving made me feel lost.
I never had real friend outside of our family, but that was okay.
And when the feeling became overhelming I just sat at the window, like now, and looked up at the sky.
Because the stars were always the same.
I recignised constalations even when I was on the other side of the country.
I heard a rusteling noise and turned around, seeing that my mother stirred in her sleep.
She turned around a kept sleeping.
I looked back at the sky.
The Stars always made me feel save.
Until now.
What that girl on the window didn`t saw was the shadow that sneaked into the trailer the moment she turned around.
She didn`t feel the presence until it was to late.
A cold hand cupped her mouth so that her scream wasn`t heard.
That was the last thing i remembered.
No wait, that wasn`t right.
I felt lips touching my ear, but I didn`t feel the breath that normally would have come.
I felt dizzy, like really dizzy.
My eyes fell close and I was lifted.
For me it didn`t felt as if I was sleeping.
It was barely more than a blink of an eye, but the next thing I saw were the stars.
First I thought that everything was just a bad dream, maybe some kind of hallucination, but than I felt the twing in my stomach.
The next thing I knew was a pain in my back and water.
When I was a younger my mom would often go with me swimming.
One day I met this really mean girl.
She made fun of me, because a didn`t wanted to jumpf from the cliff.
It was almost 12 meters high and I was just 10 years old.
But when she kept on doing fun of my, I walked up and I jumped.
But when I was underwater I oanicked.
That was how I felt now. Everywhere was water, it was dark and the salt was burning in my eyes.
I struggeled to find some way up but everywhere I looked was just blue.
Deep, dark blue.
I felt the air leaving my lung and my arms and legs falling limp to my sides.
I saw a light, and with one last strike of my arms I felt air touching my skin.
I took a deep breath and started coughing.
After a few minutes I looked up.
The light I saw was the moon. ( One minute I really thought it was this kind of-go into the light- kind of thing)
Not far away I saw a Island. I grabbed my bonnet that was swimming at my side and put it back on my head
I began to swim and reached the beach.
I felt weak, and shaken.
Falling down into the ocean at night could do that to you.
On all four I crawled on the sand.
My clothes were dripping and my throat was burning from the saltwater I drank.
Shells were stabing into my palms and knees and fall into the sand.
When I was laying on my back I looked up at the stars.
But they seemed different.
What the hell happened?
Was this a dream? A nightmare?
But that wasn`t possible.
It felt to real.
The scratching in my throat, the waves that played around my feets, the breeze that let the sand flow against my side.
Something was wrong.
My heard pounded against my chest, and my hands were sweaty.
I took a deep breath and told myself to calm down.
I couldn`t panik, that would be my death.
I closed my eyes and brought my brain to think rationally.
But there wasn`t any rational answer to where I was.
Or why.
Or how.
" Ahh , look what he brought us." I heard a amused voice.
Shit.
