You moved slowly walking up the hill as the bitter snow started to fall around your already cold body. You were dehydrated so as soon as some of the soft flurry began to fall around you, you stuck your tongue out and tasted it, then continued on your way. Your steps were becoming blurrier and blurrier by the second as you dragged your feet that were getting a bluish tint to them. No one cared about you as you stumbled out of the town and into a country area. They thought you to be like every other girl who walks the streets at night, a pestilence carrying the virus known as AIDS. Lucky you. You never had aids nor do you have it now. No the only thing you have to worry about now is the eight month old baby bump formed on the front of your stomach.

"(name) come here" your drunk step dad said pulling you into the room with one of his dirty friends. He held your chin in his hand, forcing you to look up "You listen to me. You show this man and I a good time you hear. I promise it will be the last time I make you do this." But it wasn't that was the last time he did. You were only 12 at the time. Now you are 19 and homeless due to the threat of him killing your mom. His word still ring out in your ears "I swear if you tell anyone, and that includes your mother, I will kill her and make you watch it." Tyler your crazy step dad was violent enough to where you knew better. So when you found out you where pregnant you told your ma that you had sex with some guy you met at a party and she kicked you out. So far you have been living with a good friend Nioami. However, her mom caught onto the rumor and forced Nioami to kick you out. Your useless so don't even bother his words yet again hissed into your ears right as the world caved in around you. You collapsed to the ground by a sign that said welcome to Russia and a huge pain sharpened through your spine.

Russia was taking his daily run when he saw a snow covered bolder. "That should be a good place to rest," he muttered to himself but as he got closer he saw a bluish tint on pale skin. He quickly picked up you and ran to his house. On the way, he noticed the sunflower shaped birthmark on your neck and knew at an instant that it was you.

"Ivan look what I found!" you said, grabbing your 5 year old friend's hand and pushing a sunflower into it. You both smiled. "See it looks like the one we planted last year and it matches my birthmark," you said, suddenly looking down. "Oh yeah... I forgot to tell you I'm moving with Tyler and mama. We have to go to china..." Ivan gripped you close and you snuggled into his warm hug.

"(name) you can't leave me. Everyone hates me. You're the only friend I have," he said and you smiled sadly, making you look up from where your head rested.

"I don't want to but I have to," you said and he petted your hair. You buried your head back into his chest. After a few long minutes of silence he sighed.

"Fine but promise me one thing," he gently lifted your head "promise me that one day, when you grow up, you will find me. And we can play house. You can be mama and I can be papa." You laughed and mimicked him.

"And I can become one with Russia da?"

I tried to walk together
But the night was growing dark
Thought you were beside me
But I reached and you were gone
Sometimes I hear you calling
From some lost and distant shore
I hear you crying softly for the way it was before

okay so the song above is called hymn for the missing by red
