Tilli took a deep breath and bent over to catch it. She had been traveling in the forest for five days now and was starting to grow low on her water. She began to wonder why she didn't pack two water cans. She stood up straight and stretched her back and arms. Than found a large oak tree to sit under it. She looked up into the tree and listened to sounds of the forest. Birds were chirping, insects were buzzing, and she could hear a slight rustle in the leaves. She began to hum a light tune and began to think of her sister.
She hoped she was okay, She began to think about the fact that her sister had always been the stronger of the two. Tilli realized, if the demon had gotten her instead, there would have been no way that she could have survived. She was to frail and traveling in the forest everyone had feared, was probably the worst idea she could have possibly had. She knew that nobody else would of done it though and she didn't want to be alone.
Tilli and her sister had lost their parents when TIlli just turned 13. Her sister was only two years older than her and took over the responsibilities of the house, and began to raise herself and Tilli. Tilli didn't want to be a burden to her sister and began studying herbs and plants, to help make money around the house. She found out pretty quickly that she had a unique gift with plants. She somehow seemed to make their power stronger with the touch of her fingers, and instead of an paste taking a few days to work, it took only a few seconds and the injury or health issue would just disappear in the blink of an eye.
She opened her bag and regretfully took out her water can and took a small sip of the cool water. She than took out some dried meats and some mixed nuts and dried berries and slowly ate them. She had hoped this would at least settle her stomach. She than yawned and looked up at tree tops, she could see the sky just slightly and a few birds flying around. She knew that if she was tired now would be the perfect time to take a short nap. Traveling by night was better, she began to realize because the darkness brought on a awful feeling and she always felt like something was after her. During the day it felt like a simple forest, safe, and even a little comfortable. She gently smiled, and touched her ears, feeling the points she placed them in her reddish blonde hair which was loosely braided. She pulled the braid around so that it face the front so she could use it as a cushion for her head. She pulled out the thin blanket from her bag and placed it around herself then laid back against the tree and softly closed her crystal blue eyes.
