So-called Friends

"You belong here ...with us"

'Do I really?'

Before Skyla could dwell on the thought, she sensed the changes around her before it happened before her eyes. Amazed, she lifted her lifeless eyes and glimpsed an unreal change. Her eyes widened when she saw the huge trees shake its golden leaves which now carried a small light, thereby lighting up the clearing.

The golden trees shone brightly around her as small golden balls of light reappeared in the clearing, floating in the area.

Skyla gasped when she felt the cold gentle breeze caress her face as if it was consoling her silently.

"Do you see it?" The voice asked excitedly, "Do you feel their happiness?"

Skyla touched her cheek as she gazed at the trees which were trying to lift her mood. Her eyes softened as she whispered, "Yeah.."

It was as if the woods were coming into life… It was protruding so many emotions that it was captivating yet confusing at the same time.
