Natalia rides her bike as far along the lane as she could, before she throws it aside with her shoes, her hat, her gloves-
She delves deep into the woods in only her undergarments, and even those she finds restricting. She wants to be free, to feel the woods alongside her bare skin, as her true mother told her too-
A bright light explods above the forest, and Natalia flinches back into the tree.
Natalia grins, and speeds up. She places the child in the basket of her bike, and starts pedalling towards her home.
"Look up, Eloise! The sun is bright!"
??!!! Clari looks up at the sky and oooo. Bright. Blue! Wigggles more!!! She holds on tight and makes noises about everything.
She watches the child clutch at the blue sky above them. "All of this is so new and shiny, huh? Where do you want to go, sunflower?"
“Those bright eyes, that clever smile. You’re going to do wonderful things.”
Natalia picks up her pace, heading back into town.
