8 Years Old

Hinata never spent much time in the compound anymore. It was just a jumble of bad emotions wait for her the moment she walked in.

She instead would go to her now dying garden. Hinata would usually go around it or avoid it at all costs. It made her feel empty when she look at it for too long.

She would usually sit around and stare at animals. If there were no animals she would look at the sky and watch the clouds drift by so freely. She almost felt jealousy towards the clouds and animals. They could go their own way without too much of a detour in life from humans, unless of course a hunter got to them. And the clouds as well just left the air carry them away.

But all of these thoughts were useless of course. Nothing could change her situation. It was a week until the day her mother died. She never had stopped going to the cemetery, until about a month ago. The guilt picked at her still, but it was better than having her emotions almost explode every time she saw it.

So here she sat, looking at a fox. It was majestic in its own way. The fox had not noticed her yet, as it was currently looking at a nest near the ground. Suddenly it shot its head up and turned towards her. Hinata only sat and stared back. Its black beady eyes bore into hers, until it scurried away quickly from the garden.

She wanted to follow it to extent. She wanted to be free of this awful prison keeping her locked up like a dog.

She hated it. If she could Hinata would have burned down the compound by now, but spending life in some mental institute was not an ideal situation for her.

She wanted to let out her rage so bad. It almost hurt to not kill. Wait kill? She was confused, but let it go.

The odd moments of lack of logic came and went. They became more recurring as well. Not that she really minded. In those moments she felt just about nothing.

She looked back. She could barely make out the yelling from across the compound, but it was there. She did not have to guess what it was about because it was always about her.

She never knew what they said about her, but they never even denied the fact they did it, making it all the more obvious. She heard footsteps nearing her and the entrance to the compound from her little garden opened. One of the branch members had come to get Hinata, do most likely train and study.

All she could do is blindly follow the man.

Okay, I caught yesterday I did not add a disclaimer, so sorry about that. I decided to do her as 8 now, and originally planned to skip right ahead to her being nine when a major event happens, but decided why not. I wanted to give a little more background to her I guess, and thank you for all the comments! I am so glad that they were all nice. And I know this was a short chapter, and it is my entire for writing it when she was nine and not having plans. I apologize, but thank you so much for reading, and if there are and grammar mistakes, or misspellings please tell me, along with any ideas! Thank you for reading!
