Evena Essenics sat on the wide ledge attached to her large window sill. Her back was against one of the side frames and her head rested against the pane as the sky was painted a midnight blue. Her Asian tanned face reflected off the thick glass of the window as she tried to get a glimpse of the full moon. Her large chocolate brown near-sighted eyes found the blurry moon and with a slim finger, she traced it. Evena shifted so a lock of her thin coyote coloured hair fell over an eye. Her watch buzzed 12 and she abruptly stood up.

Evena didn't feel childish at that moment as she rubbed her hands against her long baggy black pants and opened the hitch of the window. Evena pushed it forward, and with a paranoid glance back, she put a long leg out.

Evena's window looked out to the forest. Where her secret lay.
