I can't see the real stars, so I make paper ones.
I'm Scarlett. I live in a basement with no windows. I have lived here my whole life, and my mother takes good care of me. When I'm hungry, she brings me food. When I run out of paint, she brings me more. When I get cold, she gives me a blanket. She's very kind. I trust her. She tells me that I'll be let out very soon. Just one more painting, that's all. She says people love my work. They always ask for more. She says that I should try to paint more pictures, so that the fans can get what they want. I try to keep them happy, but what I'd like more is to see them.
I'm not allowed to leave the basement until my job is done, so I paint. I paint for my freedom.

Part Of The Wild
I pull my canteen out and take a swig of my hot cider letting it warm my body, but got interrupted by my sister shouting at me over the wind. "Can you take a picture of me? I have to post it to my followers when we get back down the mountain!" I roll my eyes and turn towards her, I don't even have to say anything to her, because she knows i'll always take photos for her as annoying as she may be. I peel off my mittens and feel the harsh wind eat away at my bare fingers. I stuff them in my bag, before I grab her phone and start backing up to get a better angle of her. She stands by the edge of the cliff and poses. I snap a few photos then flip the camera to take a few selfies with her in the background, even with her words of protest. I walk up to her at the edge, feeling the snow crunch under my boots, and hand her phone back. I then swing my rucksack around to the front of me, get on my knees and start to dig around for my mittens. I suddenly feel the ground shake under me. Before I could even stand up fully, the snow under my legs crumble before my eyes. Holy fuck. The snow is coming loose and is avalanching. I already feel my body fall backwards as the ground under me disappears. I look up at my sister whose face has morphed into shock. My body feels as light as a feather. This is the end for me I know it. I brace my self for deadly impact, but it never comes.. A bright light flashes as everything around me goes white. I wake up to be laying in soft snow with my rucksack on top of me. My head spun as I sat up. I look around and all I see are large trees. In fact, these trees look larger than any i've ever seen in my life, which includes the ones on Animal Planet. Where the hell am I? I look up at the sky and I see two suns? Did I get a concussion? No that can't be, i'm not seeing double with trees or my fingers. {Transmigration to Beast Continent successful} {System 002 has now been assigned to you}

He growled making me cry even harder, I could feel my body starting to shake unstoppably.
