The hall seems to have endless pedestals with statues of me on them, though I have never worn these clothes. she looks to her right and the statue is wearing fur, the pedestal has a small metal plaque that reads 'Number 76' and nothing more. "You are not supposed to be here number 77" the voice does not have an obvious source. It seems to be everywhere. "My name is not number 77 is Anara" I climb back up to my feet. The source of the voice comes from behind the pedestal for number 1. "You may have a name down there, but up here you are a number until you earn a name. So far none of you have earned a name in these halls" -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- Adelaide has a peculiarity and must learn to use it without being labeled as a witch in order to remind an old friend of their morals. She must learn to fight without force and become a name amongst the nameless plaques in the hall of numbers. She is not number 78, she is Adelaide Schneider.

"Who's out there?" One of the men yelled. Of course only silence met them. I remained quiet and waited for the group to start moving again. "Maybe it was just an animal." Someone whispered. The person, who I assumed was the captain of the small squad, signaled for them to walk again. They clearly showed fear as they kept going; brandishing their weapons to guard themselves with. "Two are holding lanterns. I'll tell you when you're too close to them." I heard my friend whisper in my ear. I followed the men as I picked up another branch and waited for the right time to break it. They continued to walk through the forest, turning their heads in every direction as if an animal might lunge at them and rip their throats out. I guess in a way I was going to do that. "Go back a few feet." My friend whispered. I carefully distanced myself from the group and waited. "Where is she?" I quickly snapped the stick as soon as he finished asking the question. They stopped and two soldiers raised their lanterns to shine its light in the darkness. I quickly hid behind a tree before both of them turned where I was. A low frustrated growl came from one of the men, "The girl's playing with us. She's out here following our every move." How paranoia can cloud the mind. At nine years old, Silver decided to leave her village for the forest. Since then, she's been hunted; everyday is a fight for her life, every breath she takes could be her last, but she's determined to stay alive. Her life isn't the kind anyone would want to live but she's managed to survive this long so, what's a few more years?
