• I walked over to the pond i had grown to love so much in these past moths. i stared in its

    unnatural dark blue face, and saw my reflection. i touched my crown of golden leaves that the

    trees had given me, and it ignited with rainbow sparks. I had given up hope of ever seeing my

    old family ever again. seeing another human was even hard to believe now...

    "hello" said a voice from behind me. "hello tree number 5, how are you today?" i answered,

    sitting up and scooting around in a circle to face the tree. But in front of my beloved tree was a

    boy about my age, staring at me with a puzzled look on his face. He was holding Aleana. I

    gasped and shot up, reaching for my loved cat. I scooped her out of his arms, stroking her.

    "The trees tell me you've been here a long time, would you like to come back with me to our

    town?" the boy asked, holding out his hand. I could tell he was staring at my crown. I took his

    hand in mine. "of course i would" i answered.

    the end for now
