Where even was she? She was starting to lose track. Not that she minded. She would go anywhere. But in order to go somewhere, you needed money. Money that she didn't have right now. So she wandered the road, backpack in her hand rather than on her back. The sky was brilliant orange and it made her smile. She loved orange sunsets. She loved the way the air felt against her skin at this time of day, and the way the clouds looked like paintbrush swipes across the sky, in pinks and purples. She liked the night, with the stars and the stories her grandmother used to tell, and she liked the glow of street lights, but she enjoyed sunset so much more. The end of another day, the beginning of another night. Almost like proof that you were moving forward. And for some reason, she constantly needed proof.
Whenever she heard a car coming, she would look over her shoulder, stop and hold her thumb out. She just needed a ride. A ride to anywhere. She would go wherever they were going. But none stopped. Did she look threatening? She was average at best, tiny maybe, with a somewhat baby face. No one could possibly suspect that she could use a gun, and they certainly couldn't know how talented she was with knives. But they all drove passed. Not even one old, lust filled old man stopped. The sky would be dark soon, and she Aera stopped walking, just keeping her thumb out as she weighed her options. If she found no one, she could sleep in the field on either side of the road. It wasn't ideal, and most likely not safe, but there wasn't really another option. She was a light sleeper, she was fast. If she made it out, she made it out. If not, then whatever. No one would be looking for her, no one would notice.
No one would notice.
She ignored the stab of pain in her heart at this though and sighed looking down at her feet for a moment before turning her eyes back down the road.
