girl out of time

18) rain

I've been here six days now, or was or seven... Maybe even eight. I wasn't shore.

The bruising had started fading so now I cold move around without too much trouble as long as I didn't knock my ribs to much... Or breath to heavy. instead of being a blackly, purple color, large proportions of my body was a sickly yellow hue splotched with blue.

But I didn't see the point in moving. it just seems unimportant. It was a hustle. The most I had moved, was from under the tree to in the sunlight. I didn't want to move but the grass was dieing ,so. ye.

The only time I actually walked about was to go get water. the trip wasn't pleasant so I'd leave it as long as I could and I went at night. less people.

The king hadn't Summoned me to court but I suspect he just said that to shut me up. but when I'm better. if I live that long I can use it against him to get in anyway. I'd also found out that the guards placed at the gates had reserve orders to stop me leaving. not that I've tried. so I couldn't earn a living hear or leave. grate!

It was still sweltering but I still had my jacked on. I don't know. taking it off seemed unimportant... And i didn't want sun Bern.

I hadn't had a proper bath in a week and I knew I smelt bad, but everyone ells in this god forsaken place smells so who cares!

I had my hood pulled down low over my face, with a gap big enough to see what was going on.

Though I never bothers any one and I stayed on my patch of grass for the most part, people still hated me.

If the wind was in the wright direction you cold hear everything everyone was saying.

And most ports of conversation was me.

Teachers wold bring groups of children round the town, stoping on the edge if the green to tell them I was a demon and not to be trusted. What happen to fea, I liked being a fea.

Mothers wold rush their children past me, not wanted them to see me. fathers wold Goode them to through stones.

Woman wold gossip about me with there Friends. men wold do the same with theirs.

And with my sensitive hearing i could hear snippets of it all from by my tree.

"What a freak."

"Murderer"

"She would be better of dead, would she not?"

"Unnatural"

"It's a shame she's so undesirable, she's a pretty little thing."

"Whore"

"Freak"

"this, children is a demon.she is dangerous and she hides herself in human form. she hides her true nature and defiles the form that god gave us. she is no good and only exists to voice harm."

But today was different.

"But miss. she's not all bad."

I tipped my head to the side lazily. opening my eyes to see who said that.

Rosie stood near the teacher. hand in the air, looking confused.

The old bat of a teacher looked down at her.

"I beg your pardon?"

"Sakra's not all bad." she repeated with a little smile on her face.

"And why wold you think such a thing?"

"Because I have met her,miss."

Stupid girl. you should have kept your mouth shut.

"Yes she's nice. she was nice to me and she tolled the most amazing story's. sung me a lullaby to help me sleep and she helped sissy when even healer Alfred said he cold not! I think she used her fea magic. She helped sissy even though she's heart herself, really bad. I think she has bin heart for a long time, but she still helps. that must make her good."
