Ummmmmm…… why is it so hot out here? This was the first thought that passed thought my mind, when I woke up this morning. I remember when I went to bed last night, it was cold. I had to snatch a blanket from my brother. But after a while he woke up and started crying, and I had to give it back to him. You know how the little ones in the family are, they just throw tantrum and it is always the ender sister who is at fault. I had to promise him that I would take him to the fare tomorrow just so that he would lie to my mother that he just saw an awful dream. It has been a part of everyone’s conversations these days. They say that he would take a coin from you and in a moment’s notice, it would jump to your other hand, people call him a “magician”. I really wanted to see it too, so I guess It was a win – win for both me and my annoying brother. But he is missing this morning. I wonder what happened to him. I don’t even see my mother and father.

Now that I think about it, my father must have probably gone to work. He is a very reputed soldier and he must never be late or it sets a bad example for the governance of the King as well as his underlings. By mother should be making food for us right now, but I don’t see her. Although I am glad my brother isn’t around to annoy me anymore, but I am still a little concerned. This seems odd.

The little girl open the gate in front of her and hears a long honk, which she was has never heard before. There were cars running on the road. She must have thought they were some kind of weird animal which had metal bodies wielded to them.

Wh-wh-what is this??? It is so sunny outside. There seems to be large shops set up nearby. They have GLASS DOORS???? Oh … My ….. God…. I thought glass was a luxury only allowed to be owned by royalty! Just where am I?

Just as she steps further, a car passes through her side, fortunately not hitting her. The orse
“Are you mad? You could have been hit! If you want to die just go get hit by someone else.” The man screamed in anger and went away in his metal horse again. I have no idea what happened. I was just walking. I still don’t know where I am but he didn’t have to be so mean right? I WAS JUST WALKING. Why was he screaming at me?

The little girl looked around her. Everybody sat what happened but they just passed by. Everybody seemed to be in a rush. So much that they didn’t even care that a little girl was about to get killed.

Why is everybody acting so heartless? I can see in their eyes that they don’t care. I am about to cry but I am a big girl. I shouldn’t.

The girl wakes up and cleans up her dusty robes and was about to walk away backwards when she hears a siren.

What is that sharp noise? It seems that he it is another one of those metal horses. People came out of there who were wearing deep blue cap and a vest of some kind. People sure like to wear weird clothes here. Seems like they are approaching me.

Policeman: Are you hurt little lady? I was told that you have been hit by a car. What is your name?
The girl remains silent as she didn’t understood a thing that came out of their mouth. He language was unknown to the girl. After the girl didn’t respond, they took her to the police station, forcefully.

Those weird people kept staring at each other after they uttered some nonsense at me. It feels like I am being abducted. Even though those people seems kind at first, but now they are looking at me as if I am some kind of unknown being. But that did not matter, as I saw something very interesting inside the body of that metal horse. There is a special glass which shows you your reflection when you look at it. It is nothing as compared to viewing yourself in front of water. This image is totally clear!

Soon the policemen reach the station along with the little girl and offered her something to eat. The girl just kept staring at it and didn’t respond to any of their questions. It soon became clear that she was not able to understand even a single thing they said to her. The policemen had no choice but to inform their superiors. Just in case she did not run away, they kept her in a cell.

Why am I being caged? What will happen to me? My mother told me not to cry but I really feel like doing so right now, I am not a strong girl like my mother thinks I am. These people are so cruel. Normally when somebody gets hurt, elder rush for their aid right? But in my case people just kept staring and moving forward. Its as if I am some sort of animal to them, they don’t even care.Mother, father I really miss you, please come and rescue me from this cell. I promise that I will be a good girl. I will never make my brother cry ever again. I am listen to everything you say.

Suddenly the girl started crying and speaking in a weird language. The policemen were shocked as she never even said a word during their sessions and now the is crying, while speaking gibberish. The policemen started to ring their phones and she girl kept crying while looking at them.
