Here I am, a rabbit hearted girl
Frozen in the headlights
It seems I've made the final sacrifice
Frozen in the headlights

Ever since Amaya had died two days ago, Nasreen, for the first time, had been truly on her own. And it terrified her. There hadn’t been much to do after finding the body. She had plucked up the courage to give her caretaker a childish burial, leaving the delicate winged body behind strewn in autumn foliage and small branches. And then she had flown away, abandoning her final connections to Th’orqui—to home.
And now? Nasreen had no idea. She just wanted to go home, but unfortunately, she had no idea where home was. She did know that she couldn’t fly anymore. She was exhausted, and besides the tears made it hard to see. The last thing she needed was to drop out of the sky; it already felt like the earth had dropped out from beneath her hooves.
A twig snapped somewhere in the woods, sending Nasreen’s head up. Her chestnut wings unfurled, ready to send her skyward despite her fatigue. She had no one to protect her anymore.
“Who’s there?” she called, surprised by the tremor in her voice. Nasreen cleared her throat, trying to force herself to relax. Probably no one, ’Reen.
Please do not tag Nasreen except for in opening posts and in spars!
