"𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐞𝐧" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Curious green eyes trailed across the room. She had studied it for hours trying to find a way to escape, the only way out however, was being guarded by a mopey, grumpy teacher who was glaring at her from across the room. She began to distract herself, twisting her long chocolate hair in between her fingers as she vaguely listened to the old man seated in front of her. The old man realized this and chuckled at how impatient she had become. There was something curious about the young girl. Maybe it was her completely straight posture and attentive eyes or the way she fidgeted constantly and was always looking around like she was expecting something to happen. Either way there was something strange about Ellie Gray and no one save her family and the old man seated in front of her needed to know. Ellie Gray was born with a secret, not a deadly one, but one she would take to the grave. Or so she thought. Ellie didn't know much about her secret but there was one thought she always had at the back of her mind. Secrets never stay hidden. She knew it was going to happen eventually but she was going to prevent it for as long as possible. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "And the stars blinked as they watched her carefully, jealous of the way she shone."
