Autumn had came once more, her second birthday without her parents had arrived and past. Sure the first one that she had to bare without them had been not that much after their violent passing, but she had been much more numb than. Now, oh now her head was clear and her heart had an unbearable ache for their warmth. Why did the world have to be so dark, so cruel? Oh dear sweet Sun, if she knew just how cruel the world really was, she probably wouldn’t go on living. Being in the dark about the truth behind it all was probably for the best. They say the truth sets you free, but it might set one free, but it can shatter others. Still the girl, naive to the very truth that had been around her all along one day hoped to find those who killed her parents. If they were even equine that is. For all she knew they could have been killed by some type of beast. Although there had been no sign that they were killed for food. Not that the girl would have known what that looked like or anything.
She was lucky though she had her dear friend had been off playing at the time. She could have been there with her mother and father. She could have met their same fate. Or so she had been told over and over again. Why everyone was so quick to remind her of such a fact whenever she voices how she wished she could have been there to help them that summer evening she was unsure, but she no longer asks about the reason anymore. She was just a babe, she sees that now.
Taking a deep breath a sigh slowly left her lips. Pink eyes closed as tears rolled down her cheeks. Sunkissed had came out to the Prairie to help clear her head. Standing on top of one of the many rolling hills she looked up at the clear blue sky. The sun was starting to waiver and would soon set for the day. Still she made no move to head back home. Instead she just stood there feeling the warmth of the sun. It was nice as she felt cold. So very cold and alone. The sweet smell of cherry blossom strong in the air as the wind blew. It was middled today, even so it was strong enough to blow one of the blossoms out of her mane and across the landscape. It didn’t go too far just a few feet before getting stuck in the grass. Still she paid it no mind. She just stood there in the silence listening to the wind, and lost in her thoughts of what if.
