The dogs were barking, following her. Hunting her. They had been trained to do this she knew. The wind hurried along side her, urging her on. He whipped her hair, and tossed her gown. He had panicked.
"How can one man stop this ending?...."
She struggled over the broken ground, tripping over brush. They apoligized, anguished at their adherance. She ran. Her eyes were wild, like the sky she thought. Streaked and bright.
The dogs bayed. They had seen her.
"I couldn't help but to hear an exchanging of words..."
She fell. Her cry echoed. The wind stilled. He hadn't heard her voice in almost a millenium. The hawks nearby quieted, hushing their offspring in respect and fear. The dogs ceased their calls, tails tucked low. The unseen men halted. Their eyes were wide. They had never heard any language like that, nor any animal emit that cry.
"I spin, colliding into sound..."
She was crying. She reached for the sky and begged or safety. For solace, for freedom, for....for hope.
The rain fell, all at once, crying with her. The wind howled, holding her close. Her eyes fluttered shut, and she shuddered, voicing nothing more. Her grandfathers groaned, yelling their insults in the old language.
The men found her. She lay on the ground, her gown filthy and torn. Blood stained the hem, and ran in a pink line, mixed with the water droplets, along her legs.
Her grandfathers swayed, scratching and whipping at the men, fighting them for their granddaughter.
" A sea of fury, crashing like a tidal wave..."
She was pale. Her breathing was slow. The wind swirled, surrounding the men. They had her clutched, trapped, in their arms, and were struggling to keep upright. He was desperate to help her.
She raised a small hand, and weakly grasped the wind's own.
"Wait." She whispered in his language. Her hand slipped from his grasp, and hung, swinging with the men's steps.
They marched on, yelling incoherently to eachother.
The wind fell to his knees, the rain forming his tears. They had taken his little girl.

The head nurse thumped the IV drip, and frowned at nothing. "It's not like anyone would miss her anyway." She glared in disdain before stalking out of the girl's infirmary room.
