Hey guys, this is my first fanfiction story so please have patience with me. Any reviews would be appreciated, I'd like to know whether this is worth continuing on with.

This story's title and first chapter was inspired by the song 'You and I' by Zeds Dead

Every choice I have every made I'd made to stay hidden. My lack of a permanent address, the running, isolating myself from any one and everyone, all in an effort to make sure I was easily forgotten. The loneliness was something that I learned to bear, a constant ache as permanent as a scar.

I had always been able to survive as long as I was able to stay close enough to the forest, the only home I have ever known. Breathing in the fresh air that runs through trees and feeling my bare feet hit the earth was the only thing in what I knew of life that filled a space in my heart for at least a little while. But now my time of being able to stay secluded in the forest was running short, I'd have to find refuge elsewhere soon enough. It frightened me, after all my time alone to think that I would have to try to find a way to blend in with the humans. Humans. The word was odd to me only because I didn't know how I fit around it. Waking up to no notion of what or who you are, only with an innate understanding that you're other and that the trees felt safe, was frightening. Later I learned about the chase, about those who wanted me, they were other as well but not in the same way as me. Where the forest seemed to want to wrap itself around me and cocoon me in its heart, it rejected them. I could feel the stillness in the air when they were near, it scared me enough to run and hide whenever I could feel the coldness start to seep into roots under my feet. They felt like frozen death.

The grass brushed against the side of my feet, and I could feel the mud between my toes. The air was crisp, and as it hit the skin on my legs I knew I would have to find better clothes if I really wanted to be able to walk into town and not stand out. I might not know much about people but I knew it wasn't normal to not feel cold in the middle of fall in just a tattered dress. I ran my hand through my long hair, it still felt damp from the rain, it seemed to always be raining here. Forks. That's the name of the small town I was in now, where I would hopefully make a home. It was beautiful, everything was green here and the forest seemed to welcome me with open arms. I could only hope that what waited for me here would keep me safe, I was scared to hope that I might be able to make some friends while here. I leaned my head against the trunk of a tree and felt it hum with pleasure as slowly ran my hand down its side.

I guess only time would tell.
