Today makes it one week and two days since she was abandoned in the forest.
Yeah, she is beginning to know the reality of life. She is abandoned here in the forest all alone, if not for the creepy noise from the invisible creepy creatures. The fear she felt is beginning to wear off.
More than being a child, she felt more like an adult now who could stand up for herself.
No, I won't sit here in self-pity anymore. I will go out there and do something with my life.
I know that I am left here all alone.
Come on, no one will protect you she said to herself.
She stood up and promised herself that she would never shed tears for anyone again in this life.
If my family abandoned me here in this forest then no one cares.
So she went deeper into the forest without turning back.
....
For the first time, she saw the forest as home.
For the first time, she saw the beauty of the place she was in.
She spread her hands and let the wind kiss her skin.
Ohh alive.
Moving forward she found a new place
Rock! Tall Rock she squealed. Can't help to get closer. The view of this place from here is so beautiful.
Getting to the mountain she saw a cave and went in. Woah! This place is warm and cozy. What if I make here my residential place in this forest? She taught scratching her hair.
Of course, it's going to be awesome she clapped out of excitement.
Quickly, she went and climbed a short tree, and boom she fell. Ouch! That hurts she hissed while messaging the place.
I don't know a tree can be this slippery! Nevertheless, she tried climbing again. Smooch she fell again.
She climbed again and again only to end up falling and slipping. She was frustrated.
Why can't a climb you? She said in her mind.
She was so disappointed at the tree that she wanted to leave but the next thing she heard was the rent of clothing.
Hmm! Her clothing was stuck to one of the tree's broken branch.
Hemp! If she was disappointed before now she is furious but what can she do to such a disobedient tree?
She wanted to go to another tree but there is no one as short as this here.
That was when a voice whispered something to her mind. Immediately her eyes widened. Why have I not thought of this?
She went closer to the tree once again and leaped grabbing one of the tree's branches.
She climbs on the tree using the branches and tried breaking it up little by little until she got herself a handful of tree branches and the leaves.
She gathered and gathered till she was satisfied.
She patted the heap of the leaves and branches and felt joy. She had made herself a bed in a cozy home.
