1 Prologue

Snowflakes fell down

One after the other

All were snowflakes

But none were the same

Each held a beauty of their own

And She...

The girl sat on a bench near central park

At night

The day of Christmas.

Everywhere around her

People hurried home

Each and every one of them

Eager to get home

To their loved ones

And She...

The girl sat on the bench all alone.

She stared in fascination at the snowflakes

That fell around her.

Her blonde hair slightly moved with the gentle breeze

Which made her look almost unreal.

It was cold

Maybe it was freezing for a girl like her

For all, she didn't look like she was any older than sixteen

But

It didn't look like she was cold

Maybe she wasn't cold

May be she didn't mind it at all

As she sat on the bench

All alone.

Her twinkling eyes were grey

But almost looked like silver

As she stared at the streetlights.

She smiled at everybody who passed by her

Her eyes

And

Her smile

caught everyone's attention

For all, they couldn't help themselves but return the gesture.

All of them wondered

What a girl like her was doing

Sitting there

All alone

On the night of Christmas.

They wondered

Why is she sitting there?

Doesn't she want to go home?

Where is her family?

But nobody approached her and asked.

Maybe they were too afraid

That asking her would make that smile go away

Maybe they were too eager to get home and enjoy Christmas

Maybe all of them were captivated by her beauty

And thought that she was unreal.

So She...

Sat there all alone

Smiling

Her eyes twinkling.

But

Unknown to all around her

Behind that smile

Behind that twinkling eyes

Behind all those clothes

Behind her flesh

Behind her bones

Her heart was beating fast

Wailing

Crying

Screaming in pain

which left the girl breathless.

But nevertheless

She smiled

Her heart waited

In anticipation

For somebody to come to her

And soothe her

And ask if she was ok

To tell her that they cared

To help her

To make her pain go away.

But

It never happened

So she smiled to the world

And cried all alone.

So She...

Sat there and stared

At all the snowflakes falling

And melting when they hit the ground.

And she wondered,

The snowflakes appeared

Made everyone happy from their beauty

And disappeared

Just like her...
