queen. (In The Forest)
One to Want : Countdown to Escape
I've always been the inferior one. Next to my older, more popular sister.
Well, I never cared about it, not when Mum was still around.
But then she had to leave, how could she be so cruel? She was the only person who cared about me, and now I'm left with my Dad who only ever care about his work, and my school princess older sister.
I don't even have a friend. At least not one who's genuine instead of just being nice to get close to my sister.
I like going to the forest near our house. It's refreshing with fresh air, greens, chirpings birds and sound of waterfall. Back then, I'd have walks with Mum there. But eversince she had gotten sick, she asked me not to go there anymore and stay with her at home since she couldn't accompany me anymore.
Now that she's gone, I felt more depressed than ever until one day my feet walked on their own to the forest, and I felt happiess once again.
One day, I fell asleep and only woke up when I realized it's already dark, I had gotten too deep inside and felt worried I'd get lost.
But a stranger appeared and led me the way out, somehow I told him everything about my life maybe since he was willing to listen, and I learnt that he too was lonely, living in the forest. He told me it's okay that my sister was the princess at school, because I can be the queen of the forest if I wanted to.
And I thought, why not? Now I'm greater than my older sister. Haa.
