"I had a dream last night. Well...its more like a reminder." The red haired woman muses as the comb runs gently through her wild locks. The only person paying attention was her own reflection staring back at her with glassy sparkly eyes. He days of struggles would soon come to an end. She'll get justice even if has to crawl through mud and take them all down one by one. "I recalled it was late summer when my adoptive family took us to a trip in South Africa. I have many memories of that time but one that sticks with me the most was this one time we drove down the road and for some reason our car stopped. Suppose the motor died. Whatever. I wasn't paying attention to that, nor my adopted siblings panic and cower behind me, or my parent's holding their breath and ounce of composure under such tension of both stuck in wilderness, bunch of panicking children above all, and unexpected guest coming- to whom I was mesmerized by. Lions are such majestic beings it would be a shame not to appreciate it. My palms press against the window and lean forward to get a better view. Eyes wide open to this wild creature moving along with such grace. But as it passes by it wasn't slightest fazed by the strange vehicle or bunch of freaks panicking inside it. Maybe in its time has seen alot of tourists and each reaction differs; as long not threatened this old feline had no problem with them. Just a quick glance but to me it felt like forever since our eyes met. I don't know what it is but it was something magical in that moment. It gave me the strength and courage I been lacking for years. My empty and scared eyes suddenly light up and in instant I'm overwhelmed.
That moment...I was reminded of who I was. What I'm capable of. What I was meant to do."
"Who are you talking to?" A voice came through as she fails to notice a presence closing in. Or picked on the door opening, or footsteps followed right after. Though what gives? No need to keep guard as she didn't sense a threatening presence. None ever bothers them here and the two only live here. But not for long.
"Nobody."
