My eyes fluttered open. The blinding light hit me, powerfully. For a moment, everything was white. When everything was back to normal, I realised that I was staring up at branches and leaves but they were high above me. How did I get into this forest? I didn't even know what happened BEFORE I got here... I sat up. What was I wearing? A white dress? It was pretty and flowing and tight around the tummy area but seriously? A DRESS? I would have to scavenge this damn forest for a way out. And I'd have to do it in a pretty dress. Great. Why was it me that had to be here anyway? Why me? Why did it seem to always be me? I lost my father to a man with a gun all because of the paper in his wallet, I lost my older sister all because of that stupid drunk driver who lost control (if it wasn't for my sis I'd be dead by now), I lost my aunt because if terrorists (and now I understand why their called 'terror'ists), I lost my mum to a woman texting and driving and I had now lost every thing. Why? Why had I lost everything? But then again, I didn't leave anything behind when I ended up here. I stood up. I was momentarily dizzy. I felt the sod soil beneath my feet. I was bare foot I realised. It felt... Nice. I wriggled my toes to rub the soil in between my toes. The wind picked up and my curled brown hair danced in the wind. The wind died down I began my run. I darted between the trees and bushes, wishing, just wishing, that I would find a way out. I darted up into the trees after about two hours of scouring the forest. I curled up into a ball and cried. If I was trapped, then who put me here? Was this a dream? Was I dead? And if so, why wasn't I with my family? Had I not looked hard enough? Why was I with no one? Why was I alone? Why was I SO ALONE? The endless list of questions ran through my head and I started to cry. Silent tears ran down my cheeks and from then on I knew that I was going to be in the forest for quite a while...
