Lightening struck a nearby tree but she continued running. She was a monster full of uncontrollable hate. Why did she have this burden? Why couldn't she remember her past? Why did she have strange dreams about a girl named Melody?
Rain forced down on her, making it hard to breathe. Tree branches caught her black mini skirt; her hot pink spaghetti strap shirt was already torn on the left side. She came to a creek and when she found a log that would take her to the other side, she frantically crossed it. The rain made the moss on the log even more slippery and she slipped, colliding into the cold water. Her feet continued to slip out from underneath her as she tried to stand up, but the freezing water made it impossible for her legs to cooperate. She finally crawled onto a huge boulder in the middle of the flowing creek. All the rain was making the creek flood, but after a while the rain eased up and the girl pulled her numb legs into her heaving chest and cradled herself. Thunder rumbled the forest and echoed through the mountains as lightening etched the sky.
The only memory she has is waking up in this strange mountainous terrain. She had also come across some hikers and she was suddenly full of rage and disgust towards the couple. She had no reason to have those feelings and she knew it, but it was uncontrollable. Soon the feelings of hate had prevailed over her and she looked through the hikers' Hearts. She dove into the man first and saw all his memories, thoughts, and feeling his Heart held, then she inserted pain and grief to replace all those things. When she left his Heart, she watched it leave his chest and float up towards the sky as he turned into a small black creature. The woman screamed but the girl easily dove into her Heart, filling her with hatred. She too, turned into the creature.
Now this girl sits alone on a rock surrounded by the comforting sound of running water. She couldn't figure out why this was so comforting to her. She had dreams of a girl with long black hair being comforted by the sounds of waves…is it possible that they could be connected? She also has dreams of Melody being surrounded by many friends. This girl wanted that, but she knew that with her uncontrollable curse, she would never be able to make a friend. She would be alone for a very, very long time. The girl began to cry as she curled up in fetal position on the cold rock. The rain started up again and the thunder carried on, lightening streaked through the sky. The sound of running water, rushing over the rocks, lulled the girl to her weeping sleep……
