The little girl had to be somewhere around the age of five. She had curly, thick hair that only reached to about her shoulders, and big, brown eyes. She was staring at the ground, at a plant.
It was no special plant, though. It had a mouth lined with tiny seeds that almost resembled teeth. She had one of these before. But it had been crushed by someone just a few years older than she was. His name was Ormond.
As for her, her name was Dahlia, and she was an orphan, which was probably why she was always quiet. Everybody was happy except for her.
Dahlia looked at the plant again. Then, when no one was looking, she picked it up and started to walk over to a wooded area to hide for a while. After all, nobody would care. She was the silent one. |
