Gaia looked up at the stars. They were so beautiful. Stars had always fascinated her. Ever since she was a small child, she had come here to see them. Here was a meadow. It was on the back of her parent's property. There were no lights around and it was perfect for seeing stars. She came every Sunday night to watch the stars. Sometimes she came more often then that. They were enchanting and helped to wash away the loneliness that so often plagued her at school. She was what you would call a loner. She didn't like human kind in general. They were devious and evil. Not all but most, and she didn't want to waste her time trying to sort out the good from the bad. It was safer to hide and stay away from them all. Love was a poison, slowly threading its way through your veins, choking you of your life. Friendship was a dagger, poised above the heart, ready to turn and plunge into the breast of the victim. This she had learned. She had learned it all to well. Tears began to leak down her pale cheeks. Her light grey eyes searched the sky.
"Is anyone out there?" she asked the stars "Is there anyone out there worth the pain and hurt any form of love eventually brings?" Gaia paused. "No, there isn't" she asked herself this question constantly and always came to the same answer. She stood up suddenly. Her silhouette against the starry sky must have been beautiful. Her long black hair blown by the wind, her lovely face illuminated by the pale moonlight, her lean, lithe form poised. She was waiting, for something. She did not know what, but she was waiting for it to come. She looked own at the tall grass around her ankles.
"I wish I was anywhere but here." She whispered mournfully. She looked back up into the sky. The stars seemed to be twinkling. Then they began to dance. She felt her body become light as a feather and she began to float toward them. What is going on? She asked herself, but didn't resist. She was being taken away from her problems, from Earth. So she offered no resistance and let herself be taken into the starry depths of time.
