Author's Note: This story is about my BFF MARINA. :) It was about time. Anyways: all right copyright to me, all ideas and phrases and names and anything all belong to me . . . infringement will be punished. Okay, on a happier note, see if you can guess what power I speak of at the end!
A cold breeze danced through the open window, numbing her hands and bare feet. Something drew her there, to breathe the crisp air, fresh like an autumn apple. The tall evergreen trees that rose before her window towered over the house, adding to the beautiful scents.
Her routine was normal, that much she knew. Wake up, get dressed, eat breakfast, brush your teeth. Maybe her wonderings and constant big thoughts were normal too for a girl her age. Especially on a cool morning like this, the world felt bigger than school and homework and a stale schedule. On a morning like this, she could inhale the knowledge that someday, she would be unbounded by stereotypical thirteen-year-old limitations. Finally free.
So perhaps these thoughts were normal.
But she was not a normal girl.
Marina can feel nature in all its possible senses - natural world, physical universe, material world/ material universe - life in general and phenomena that no one understands . . . scents, sights, touch, sounds and tastes . . . in every season, every day, in every forest there are rich moments of the wild knowledge that this is nature, this is something to be cherished.
On the day she turned thirteen, Marina discovered that this unusual quality was tied to something else. Something powerful that would change her view of the world forever. But she's not the only one . . .
