Once lived a small girl; dreaming of becoming a veterinarian  since the early days of her youth; Nobody supported her dreams so much and some mocked her; but her strong soul vowed to prove the world wrong.                      
Struggling through the high and lows of life–she made it to adulthood as a licensed surgeon and equine expert.

Living alone in her expensive apartment she leaded quiet a happy life; her emotions completely masked to the cruel world. Her animals were her everything. It wasn't hard to establish that the sole reason she was live and breathing was because of her pets.

To the world she was veiwed as a cold and rude human; but only did her animals know how very wrong that statement was.
Life was going good until the day she takes the decision of going to her farmhouse with her pets.
She started packing things for the stay when she realises she's ran out of some supplies.

She's in the store paying for the things when the stench of something burning enters her nostrils.
She looks up into the horizon to see massive clouds of smoke and debris rising up into the atmosphere.

A horrible realization hits her like a freight train.
"No no no, it can't be, I-it can't be can it?!!"
Dropping things from her hands she runs back home to find firemen and police sealing off the the entrance to the structure.
A passing firemen blocks her from getting into the hazardous remains of the place.
"NO SIR YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND MY FAMILY IS IN THERE!"
She weeped.
"We've evacuated the building already and there's nothing else we can do; it has burnt down so much that it's impossible to save anybody anymore."
"I DON'T SEE MY ANIMALS HERE THOUGH!" The woman yells in fury.
"Sorry sir but we'll handle her" a voice spoke behind her; grabbing her hand and dragging her away from the crowd of people that gathered in the ruins–it was her sisters.
"Please tell them my family isn't saved yet" She sobbed.
"Listen, they already did everything they could there's no more attempts the firemen can make" the plant lover-sister suggested.

Much to the sisters' surprise, the girl unexpectedly makes a mad dash for the entrance one last time; immediately getting stopped by the same fireman.
"LET ME GO!!" The girl howled; dropping to her knees and weeping like anything.

It was truly a horrifiying sight to see such a strong and brave soul break down just like that.
Nothing in the world could bring her to her knees so easily; but here she was, her seemingly perfect life crumbling apart right infront of her eyes–where she could do nothing but to see it happen.

Her sisters bring her to their home for the time being her building gets repaired.
This horrible incident left her scarred with a burning sting in her heart that would remind itself every now and then; for days she could think of nothing but how her animals died such a terrific death–the scene clouding her thoughts to a point she stopped talking to everybody; spiralling hard into depression.
For three consecutive days would she sneak out at midnight; her sisters realsing her antics on the fourth day and deciding to follow her.
Unknowingly the girl leads not only herself but her spy sisters to where she once used to live a content life.
She enters the ruined remains with her strawberry enthusiast sister cautiously following close behind while the tomboy one called the authorities as the lady is definitely not in the right state of mind.

When the strawberry enthusiastic accidentally steps on a twig–snaps it in half and alarms the woman of other's presence.

The woman turns around to see her sisters and authorities cornering her to prevent from entering further into the dangerous remains.
To the sister's horror the girl pulls out a match stick and with an expressionless face, lits herself ablaze.
Shedding a tear, a small smile on crept on her lips.
"Finally I can reunite with all who I lost" she spoke for the last time in a voice of agony as flames consumed her.
Hearing her last words her sisters burst into tears; seeing their fourth half turn to ashes infront of their own eyes as they did nothing due to the police that were holding them back.
