She didn't remember much. There was only a few things she remember. Such as her name and age. Yet, she still had one memory but, the faces in it were blurred in it.
She dragged her body through out a large room with a dirt floor. A yellow handkerchief was laid over a fluff box filled with wool. Her tiny pale hands rubbed her tired, tiny eyes. Then she remembered hearing a laughing from across the room.
Another person the same size as her seemed to be looking at her. The person's skin seemed to be as dark as a shadow while the child's face seemed to be non existent. They also seemed to have hair which didn't have a colour at the moment. It was completely clear. Even the person's clothes seemed to be switching with another pair of clothes every second. Hopefully these clothes that she kept seeing belonged to the person she was talking too.
"I told you to go to bed earlier." The person smiled as they fixed their translucent, colourless hair. As for the child, their voice seemed to be changing its pitch as well as tone. It as as if another person was saying a different word every second. The faceless person placed a plate of something on the table. Six just rolled her eyes as she sat down. Meanwhile her stomach rumbled a bit as her eyes fell on the food.
"Oh come on Six, you know what happens to you when you don't eat." The person sighed. Six just looked away from the person for a moment and down at her food. She shoved it all into her mouth quickly. Meanwhile the other person appeared to be cooking over a stove.
"Better to eat now than later." The other person smiled. Then another child sat down at the table next to her. This child was younger but, looked like the other one.
"Food! Food!" The other child chanted. With a sigh the person from before placed food on the table which the other child took. As you could guess the other child ate it all as a tiny child ran out. The other child seemed to match all the other children except for Six.
"Food!" The tiny child stated as they raised their tiny shadow like arms in the air. This child danced around the person at the stove which made six giggle as she ate another thing of food. She did all this while whipping off a stain on her yellow rain jacket.
"Alright, alright. Calm down_______.I get it. Here ya go." The stove child smiled as they handed another plate to the tinier one. Six knew that the stove child had said the tiny person's name but, it just sounded like static to her.
After word the tiny child just sat down and ate with them. Everyone began talking to each other as well as laughing their heads off during jokes. Soon Six got up from the table. She knew she had to go somewhere. Yet, she couldn't remember where.
"You heading out already? It's still dark outside." A random differently pitched voice stated. As she turned around the stove person stood in font of the other two children who were playing with each other. Six nodded her head yes as she pulled her hood up. The faceless person stood there for a moment. Six assumed this was when the person frowned. Then they hugged Six tightly.
"Okay, just stay out of sight and bring back as much food or anything you can." The person whispered in her ear. This time the voice was definitely from a feminine child but, had a bit of a motherly tone. Six whispered something in her ear. Yet, she didn't hear her own voice leave her mouth. It just seemed to be a whoosh of wind leaving her mouth. The whoosh was quiet but, seemed to make the stove person in her arms relax.
"You always say that. Just stay away from the villagers okay. The fat bastards will definitely send you back to your mother. Just promise me you'll take care of yourself out there. I don't want to lose you." The person whispered in her ear. Their voice was all different pitch as well as her the tone of their voice as they said every word. Well, except for the last sentence the girl, maybe women said. That sentence seemed to be back to a feminine tone. Six whispered something else in the girl's ear which made her relax more in Six's arms. Yet, Six felt her checks heat up a bit before the hug broke apart.
With that the youngest child hugged her legs. After words the other child hugged her tightly. Then they all had a giant tight group hug. Soon she walked through a large white door into a large grassy field.
"Stay safe Six." The person yelled as Six walked far past the large red building they appeared to live in. Six turned to see everyone waving at her. With a smile she waved back before leaving for town.
Soon she was in a large city square running under the feet of the fatties that lived in the city. Six dodged feet with the lighter she had found yesterday in her pocket. Then she ran into the feet of a large man. She looked up to see the Ferry man. He pointed he out in the crowed. The fatties around her just pointed and a few screamed.
Soon the Ferry man picked her up. Six began thrashing around in his large gloved hand as he began walking to his ship. A larger wind seems to escape her mouth. She knew it was a loud scream about something.
"Come now child, you want an escape and your mother wants you back." The Ferry man stated from under his large sack mask. Six began trying to pull one of his finger back to escape. A large rush of wind left her mouth. She knew it was more screaming. The rush of wind continued to leave her mouth. Every fatty seemed to continue what they were doing until they left.
"SIX!" A voice yelled. Six looked over to see the stove person yelling from a distance. The two other children were behind the stove person and yelled her name the same time the others did. The Ferry man to see the other children. He just sighed as he turned around. He was going to bring the girl back to the ship named the maw.
The next part of the memory was a women humming a tune as the Ferry man brought her up to a large room. As they entered the room the humming stopped and was replaced with a scream. The stove child was floating in the room a away from the child. She was screaming her head off as black dots began to float off of her. Then a rush if wind left her mouth. That was when the dots stopped floating out of her friend. Yet, the faceless stove child was place on the ground.
The room disappeared as the lady slowly turned around. Her heart stopped as a women in a white mask faced her.
Six shot up in her suit case. Instead of dreams, she had that one memory replaying every night. So far she had lost count of how many times it had played since the night she moved into the suit case in the tiny metal area. She climbed out of bed as she prepared to do for the last couple days, her escape from the maw.
