The sky was filled with tiny green flying lights scattering their light throughout the dark clearing. She laid on top of a grass covered hill, looking at the stars, and connecting one with another. Imagining the faces of people that had once lived in the burnt village.

Her mind was blank and she frowned. Upset for the sudden amnesia controlling her mind. Keeping her secluded from the world she once knew. She wondered and regretted at the same time like a child that did something she shouldn't be doing.

A silent sigh filled the night and the sky was filled with light. The sun once again shined down on her, heating her cheeks. She closed her eyes ignoring the screams coming from inside the forest. From inside the gates.

She turned away so that she was laying on her side, curled up, and pressed her hands against her ears already regretting.
