Winter â€" I never did like this season. The bitter cold winds brought with it not just snow or freezing temperatures, but the holiday season. Every year it would seem the holiday seasons would get worse and worse for me. I despise it with a heated passion. Being a motherless and fatherless child sucked. Each year the holiday season just made me feel so hollow and apathetic and that was just something I could never do. I am honestly a much brighter and cheerful person that could be the face of any and all seasons! Yet I cannot help but feel so lonely and so very hostile to everyone and everything. My 'handlers' are the only family that I have and really and truly they are awful. They are absolutely nothing like Mother and Father. Mother and Father were perfect just simply utterly perfect. They treated me so well and it wasn't just to me, but it was to other people too. Mother and Father were both involved with government and they frequently had me travel all over with them. I loved it. I was able to see so much, I was able to learn so much on our travels together. Yet our travels and their high positions made life so very dangerous. Father wanted me to learn how to better protect myself and although Mother was extremely hesitant she had to oblige. Even though I was her 'little Angel' and I was his 'little Princess' I had to learn how to keep myself safe. Mother always assumed I was just a sweet and innocent perfect porcelain doll, but Father knew deep down I was a spitfire that was more than happy to jump in a scuffle. It isn't fair that I lost them. Mother and Father were so selfless and they did nothing but help their own people they governed and others and I think I do not have to feel selfless for losing them...I think I am allowed to be selfish.

Early this morning I snuck out of the house my handlers keep me in. They are a nasty couple that do nothing more than burden me. You would think Mother and Father would provide me with better care, but they never did think that they would be gone from me. I couldn't stand being stuck there anymore and feeling so suffocated. I needed to feel the cold wind snap and lift my golden locks. I needed to remind myself of the chill and feel alive and perhaps that could stroke some sort of warmth within me. Funny thing I know, but I was hoping it would work. Which is why I am out here trudging through the snow in the abandoned park. I cross my arms as I move quietly down the path not concerned with anyone or anything. I can take care of myself. Father taught me how to protect myself. As my bright golden hair cascades down behind my shoulder I can feel that familiar growl in my stomach. Eyeing a bench nearby I make my way up the path and place myself on the frozen bench. Shivering slightly I bring my leather jackets' collar closer to me as I close my eyes and grit my teeth. It was the sound of hooves crunching the snow that caught my attention. My bright blue eyes notice a massive horse just roaming through the park minding itself. He has no rider equipment on him so I guess he got free? A small grin appeared on my face as I pull my knapsack across my lap and flip open the top and pull out a bright crimson apple. Keeping the apple between my hands I lean back slightly and wait for the horse to approach because horses were naturally curious creatures. With that same small simper I tilt my head up slightly as I just beam up at the horse and gently speak to it as if he were a human.

"Well hello there...having a nice stroll? Perhaps you'd like some breakfast?"

Slowly I extend my hand upwards and have the apple sitting perfectly on my flat palm and it is close his nose, but not too close...allowing him to make the final move if he wanted the apple. I know horses aren't stupid creatures as Father said, after all, this one managed to get out from whatever barn he came from. Hopefully his owner would come and if not maybe I can trust him enough and take him back to his home. I am sure if my handlers gets upset with me about running away at least I can say I did a good deed. After all, Mother and Father taught me to serve and take care of others.
