The embrace of warmth clouded around Jenny, hugs from her mother, father, brother and sister. She felt more human again , she wanted to breath in the air of her surroundings but people would not be so happy to see her but that was not going to be enough to prevent her. " Tomorrow is my day, I can't be afraid forever" she thought " Don't be afraid of them" the voice whispered in her head.

At dinner, the question was finally asked " Daughter, why did you come out and why now?" her father asked, tension now filling the dining room. Everyone except Jenny looked at him with eyes of displeasure " Husband please let our child be, we're together after a long time, don't ruin this moment" her mother replied. His eyes still hovering around his daughter he asked again and this time giving his wife a warning " woman don't interfere". Jenny now looked her father " Papa, I was told by the voice to go out" she answered " She come in my dreams telling me not to be afraid". " The voice?" father asked now concerned " Whose voice?", " the voice in my head" Jenny's eyes now slowly turning black " She told me to come out, she told me to come out". Noticing his daughter to change now, her father thought it would be wise not to continue questioning her " It's alright daughter, we are happy you are here now. After a while she became normal and stood up to return to her room kissing her mother good night and the rest of the family.

" Don't be afraid child, you are gifted, go out, it's your day" immediately she woke up remembering it was her birthday today. She got up from bed walking to the mirror and spoke to herself as she usually does " It won't happen again" she told herself " I'll just take a little stroll out and I'll be back before anyone recognizes me" smiling at herself, she got into the shower. When she got out, she went to her wardrobe and selected a beautiful peach dress that looked unique with her skin tone, powdered her face applying a peach coloured lipstick, she let her dark hair down, her hazel coloured eyes shone were like that of an owl , beauty and innocence were what was visible. She wasn't going to tell her family she was going out so she didn't.

She walked through the path of her street which lead to an orchard at the center of the town as she spoke to herself, thoughts flashing through her head of what could go wrong, feeling her heart hammering against her chest .

Approaching the market square, she could feel the eyes everywhere stirring at her with wonder of her unusual behavior . Her hair ever so dark made its way covering her face, kept her head faced to the ground so that no one would recognize her but the moment she raised it, her hair was swept by a graceful wind revealing who she was. Suddenly the aura which surrounded her changed.
