Third Person's Point of View

        It was a peaceful night. An eight year old girl was lying on her bed while her cold eyes were staring on the ceiling of her bedroom. She suddenly wokes up in the middle of the night because of a nightmare. She went to the terrace and looked at the starless night sky.

        While looking at the sky, the direction of her eyes averted from the sky to the woods, which is a meters away from where she was. She had seen something that caught her attention...and it was a glint of light.

        Because of curiosity, she immediately flew towards the woods where the glint of light was coming from. But the nearer she goes, the dimmer the light becames.

      When she draw near, it was behind the bushes, so she parted it to see what's behind it clearly.

  "This seems familiar" she said in mind.

        It was a glowing object. A glowing box to be exact, with a moderate size. It was floating slightly from the ground and has a letter on it. When she takes a hold onto it, the light fades away, then she opens the letter and read it.

       She got alarmed after she read the letter and sensed some unusual auras. She immediately flew back taking the box along with her.

        When she had arrived......
their home was a total mess. There were cracks on the wall, shattered and broken glasswares, and scattered objects. She instantly went upstairs and found her uncle and untie lying on the floor with their blood.
 
  "Uncle....Untie" she cited in a low voice and draw near to where they were, and now her clothes and hands also filled with blood. But she doesn't care. She intended to heal her untie and uncle  but her untie restrained her and just shoke her head.

       Her untie looked directly to her expressionless cold eyes.

  "I-I'm so-rry baby, even if yo-you want to heal m-me you can't,. You're too young a-and too much power is needed, we're highly injured and you're just a kid, I can't let yo-you risk your l-life just to save u-us...(*cough..cough*)" her untie statteringly told her while coughing with blood.

  "Even you're like that, I know, you love us and you have a graceful heart. Remember, always have courage, be strong and kind. That's you're mom's last words before she gave you to me. Keep safe my dear."   her untie lovingly said in mind before death took her.

        She stare to their corpses for an hour while memories with them are penetrating her mind one by one.

     Still, not sinking in to her mind that they're already dead. But she doesn't know why even a bit of teardrop didn't come out from her eyes. The feeling of emptiness is what she have ever since she was born. But that was filled by her auntie and uncle. But now that they're gone, that emptiness came back, and gets a greater part in her life than before.

       When she returned to her senses of reality. She prepared for a burial putting their corpses in a coffin and make her way to the cemetery. Before burying them she open again the coffin and bid her last goodbye............when.....she noticed something is odd.
  
  "Tsk..those freaks have no sense for leaving a piece of trace." she coldly speaks in mind.

       Then she now begins burying the coffin.

       After she buried it, she stand still infront the tomb.
 
  "I won't let your death be in vain"

      Then suddenly..........................................
a frightful smirk is plastered on her pretty expressionless face...And that also when she turned her back... a terrifying strikes of lightnings appeared again and again.

     Then morning came, a lot of properties were damaged, and you know what the people wonder the most? Are the withered trees and grasses all over the city, that until now is a mystery to them.

      But the thing lingering in their minds are.............

     

    Is this only a result of a natural calamity?

   

  Is this really natural? Or.......







Unnatural?
