The snow pressed against her flesh, causing goosebumps to flare up her
bare legs until they assaulted her spine. Mayumi shivered, her little fouryear-old legs sinking so far into the cold, dry powder that it came all the
way above her wobbly knees.
She didn’t have far to fall, constantly having to steady herself with her
hands to dig herself out so she could press forward through the forest.
It was dark.
But she’d been marching through the night for so long that her eyes had
adjusted to it. She could tell the difference between shadowy tree trunks,
their leafy branches reaching down, and the shrubs on the ground. The sky
was blue-black, helping her to know where darker obstacles were so she
could avoid them.
The glow of the moon bounced off the snow, aiding her vision as she
searched.
Should she, a child, be walking through the dangerous forest by herself?
Definitely not, especially since her family resided outside of a village and
its towering, protective walls.
They were one of the rare families to live in the potentially Demon-filled
forests, but her father guaranteed them they were safe – even more so when
she was scared and in need of comfort.
Did her parents know where she was? She sincerely hoped not –
otherwise her father would give her a stern talking to. He was comforting
and yet very scary. He was strict; he had to be with such a curious girl as
his daughter.
So, what was she doing outside in the forest by herself on one of the
darkest nights of winter when she very much knew she’d be in trouble for
it?
Her tiny breaths came out as huffs that fogged in front of her face. They
tickled her freezing nose, giving it a moment of warmth before fading. One
nostril was dripping, and she constantly sniffled it.
Her feet felt frozen in her night boots, and they ached with a numb kind
of pain. It was the same in her hands and fingers. One of her hands pulled
the jacket she’d thrown over herself taut while the other steadied her so she
could, once again, dig herself out of the snow.
Luckily, she was small and light. She’d seen both her parents struggle to
walk through such thick, fresh powder.
“Shadow!” she called, her young voice echoing. “Shadow! Here, kitty!”
She received no answer.
Her thick, black hair fell across her brow as she searched. As they had
many times during her stubborn march, tears began to well in her eyes.
“Please! I’m-I’m sorry for pulling your tail!”
Her cat, which was nearly black other than a white mask across its face,
had been missing for most of the day. Usually, she’d come home after
running off, but she hadn’t returned for dinner.
She was gone, and Mayumi was heartbroken.
Since Mayumi always stayed home with her mother as she was too young
to travel through the forest safely, she hadn’t met any other humans her own
age. Shadow was her only friend. They’d known each other all their lives.
