Aella inched away from the group, jumping up onto a thick branch of an odd looking tree, hauling herself onto a high branch, panting when she reached her destination, chest heaving.
She swung her legs across the length of the tree, leaning her back against the hard, thick trunk, balancing herself carefully. Hunger pangs clawed at her stomach, starving after several days with little food. It weakened her, and she knew it. Can't be weak. Her jaw clenched at the thought, her features hardening as she caressed a small flame in the palm of her hand, the little flame as hungry as she was.
If I'm weak, they'll know. Call me crazy and get away with it. Hand me over, right? Right. Can't escape 'em, stupid things. Infuriating.
She hummed softly, fingers dancing over the clawing flame, the fire doing nothing to harm her bleeding finger tips. Legs crossing at the ankles, Aella looked down at the ground. She was hidden, but if someone looked directly upwards, they would see her. Why am I even here? She brought the flame close to her face, searching its roaring depths for answers. What do they want with us?
