Well, this story isn't exactly a new fan fiction of mine. Actually, I have written this story in my mother language, translating it myself into English (which was indeed difficult), and then publishing here. For those who fav/follow my previous stories and start growing annoyed at the fact that I still haven't published any new chapters ( so sorry about that T-T) well, I don't really drop them, which means I may still update those stories from time to time, but well, it all depends on my mood. Writing the stories in bad mood will definitely make them become worse... so, yeah. Sorry for that, and please enjoy my new story ^_^ This is not an official chapter, though, just the prologue.
PROLOGUE.
Hands of the little child were buried in the wet soil. She was lying with her chest pressed on the cold hard ground, her body and face covered with dirt, and her weak, slow breathing echoed through the dark silent forest. Some big owls standing on the tree branches looked at her with curiosity, but the child completely ignored them. With all of her remaining strength, she shakily leaned forward, her clothes and hair now was all wet and sweaty. The wind slapped straight at her back from behind the tall trees, preventing the child from moving. The silver moon above the starless dark sky silently trailed after her, watched the little child struggle to escape out of the large forest. The deadly silence and the sound of birds clapping their wings stabbed right into her heart like a sharp knife. She knew, there was absolutely no one by her side right now. She knew, except for the predators hiding around the forest, she was completely all alone. Her fear once again raised up like a large fire in the middle of the night, burning her down in hoplelessness, tears slowly covered up her big blue orbs.
She was tired. Exhausted. Her mind was completely blank, her breathing was fast and weak, and both of her hands wandered on the ground like a snake without its head, blindly finding the escape in vain. She missed her parents. She wanted to run out of the forest and come back to her parents, to the people who had always loved her and protected her. But she just didn't know how to. Maybe at this moment, her parents were still sitting in the old black car, driving as fast as they could to finish their long journey and thinking that she was still sleeping safe and sound on the back seats. They didn't know at all that the car door 'd been opened and made her slowly roll out of the car, her fear and surprise had been so great that she hadn't been able to call out for help- she just had lied on the ground, hopelessly watching the car disappear in front of her eyes. The scary silence of the forest wrapped around her, the unbearable pain covered her mind and the sound of predators calling each other reached her earshot. The poor child's lungs clenched in sudden fear. She knew she was in danger now. She wanted to get up and run as fast as she could out of the forest, but no sooner had her body lifted up than it collapsed again on the ground, completely motionless. She lied in silence, tears rolling over cheeks, and wished that the predators wouldn't find out her. From far distance, the growl was slowly becoming louder and louder.
One drop of water started falling onto her face. Then two drops. And then three. Rain. At first it was just a few drops of water, but then all of a sudden it became so heavy and thick, making the child completely soaked from head to toe. The rain washed away all of the dirt covering her body. But the rain also made her fear increase. She weakly sat up, with the blond hair hiding most of her small face, both of her hands once again were buried in the wet soil, trying to find out an escape in the middle of the dark night. The heavy rain blocked her eyesight, covering the entire area in white. Among the thickness of water, the child's eyes wide opened in shock when she saw some large shadows appearing from far distance. Those shadows were moving, with four legs, slowly towards her, their hungry gaze directed to her silky legs and both of her soft, rosy cheeks.
She wanted to run away!
But the exhaustion didn't allow her to do that. The shadows circled around the child, with their red tongues reaching out, their sharp teeth lightening, and their greedy eyes sparkling inside the darkness. Black cheetahs. But the girl was too young to even know what kind of animals they were. She just knew that they were some terrible, heartless monsters who were going to eat her up. Like the monsters in every fairy tale her mother had used to tell her. But now the difference was, there was no prince appearing to rescue her like in those stories. She was all alone. Hopeless. Looking at the hungry predators around her, she knew there was no way for her to escape.
She was going to die.
To die!
She was just a three-year-old child who had only existed in this world for a short period of time, and now was already on the verge of her end. Her parents wouldn't know anything about her death. No one would know about it. She would be ripped into pieces, pass away, and soon be forgotten. Deep down her heart, the child still wished for a prince, or fairy, appear to help her. But when the cheetah's soft hair slowly touched her skin and the red tongue started licking her thigh, she knew, even if a prince or a fairy appeared right now, everything would be the same. She would still die. She would definitely die. Its sharp teeth bit into her soft skin, red blood started pouring out and she screamed, in both shock and bewilderment.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Then it was silent. Completely silent. She looked down in surprise. The cheetah that had just bitten her leg was collapsing on the ground, blood streaming, eyes closed and its chest stopped popping up and down. The monster died with its mouth still wide opening. She turned to look upwards. The cheetahs which had just circled around her now were replaced by another kind of animals, smaller, and much more mysterious. The wolves slowly moved towards her, their eyes wandering all over her body from head to toe. The child's sweaty fists started untightening. Although these animals looked so scary, she still felt her fear starting to vanish because they had just saved her. She knew she had owed them a lot...
The leading wolf still watched her in silence. Then, in swift motion, the wolf leaned its wet back towards her. Every confused thought became clear and she immediately understood what was happening. It wants me to climb on its back. Finally calming down after the horrible experience, the child breathed out slowly, throwing herself on the soft, wide back of the wolf, wrapping her arms around its body as a way of showing her trust. She believed these animals wouldn't do anything to harm her. Taking a few steps back, in less than a second, the leading wolf ran forwards with its incedibly highest speed, bringing the girl along on its back. The rest of the wolves immediately ran behind their leader in silence. Soon afterwards, the girl and the wolves disappeared, their shadows faded away behind the thick, heavy rain in the large forest.
No evidence of the girl's existance was left behind except for a stream of red blood.
The little child never expected, that she would forever be separated from the human world after the moment she met them.
