Trust is Everything

Waking up Hitomi walked to the bathroom half sleep. After a few splashes of cold water all that happened the previous day flood back in her mind. Tears again began their rounds pouring down Hitomi's face once more. 'Why do people always leave me? Whether they want to or not they leave and I'm always alone... It's not fair. First Gramma then mom and dad then Mamauro they all left me.' Hitomi thought as the rain of tears continued. Wiping her face the towel Hitomi went back to her room.

Walking to her bed she plopped down with her head in her hands. 'I thought had accepted my fate... gotten over there deaths... but it's still there like a thorn in my back. So clear I am alone that is my life... no... I won't let it... won't let it be that easy to bring me down.' Hitomi reached for her pendent with a new determination. 'Gramma when you left I had forgotten the promise I made didn't I? You asked me to always keep hope close and keep my heart strong. Gramma I'm sorry...I'm not going to forget this time. No one will break my strength. I will always look for the good. And no one... no one will get close to me no one will hurt me again. I won't let anyone hurt me. Time to start a new life...' With her plan set Hitomi started packing her clothes and most precious belongings in camping size duffel bag. All the while not noticing her pendent was starting to glow with a slight pulse.

After nearly three hours of packing Hitomi stood at the end of her bed. The room looked bare except for the main furniture. Since Hitomi spent most of her time trying to save her money instead of buying mountain loads of clothes one medium size suit case and two duffel bags and she had the rest of the necessities put in the side pockets. Not to say that she didn't love shopping as the next girl she had learned after the deaths of her family how hard it really was to live alone.

Taking hold of her pendent she closed her eyes and made a wish as it was her daily routine to do so since her grandmother's death. But today her wish was different from the other days. Her constant wish was always to make it through the day in content.

Looking into herself for the first time Hitomi made her wish with a strong heart and no doubts.

"I wish I could find someone I could trust with all my heart and that person the same towards me."

As Hitomi began to open her eyes a light blue pillar of light surrounded her and began to lift her up. Shocked Hitomi tried to grab onto her suit case so she could keep herself from being lifted but the suit case wasn't heavy enough and was lift into the air as well. Hitomi began to close her eyes to protect herself from being blinded.

As the light died down Hitomi cautiously opened her eyes. She took long deep breaths to try to calm the panic that was building up in the pit of her stomach. After fifteen minutes or so she calmed down and began to take in her new surroundings.

Hitomi was sitting in a grassy field in the middle of a forest. It strangely seemed to be early morning and birds were flying about looking for food. There was a small breeze that had a morning chill clinging to it. The dew still sitting on the grass and leaves of the surrounding plants creating the scent of a new day. Rushing water could be heard from the distance where a beautiful oasis waterfall flowed.

Hitomi caught up by the beauty subconsciously picked up her luggage and walked towards the haven before her.

Hey sorry for taken so long but I'm a slow writer so it takes me a while.
