It was a cold and rainy night in a town no one visited any more. Old stories long forgotten waiting there to be discovered but not on single soul was out looking for them. One of those stories was about a girl that would met her end before she got the chance to grow up to be the woman she mas meant to be, yet she became a woman.

It was a day much like this one. Rain was pouring down from the sky for weeks and the people of the town had long ago stopped to pray for it to stop. On this day not meant for travellers she arrived. A girl no older than sixteen was standing between the old houses. People looked through their windows but did not invite her in. After all they did not know her and she could have been one of them – one of their enemies. The townsfolk didn't care that her long raven black hair clung to her pale face in the cold rain. No one cared but him. He had always been an outsider, never belonged with the townspeople because his mother had been one of the others – one of the enemies. They believed him to be corrupted because of his birth. He didn't care when he saw her nearly freezing to death. The young man opened the door to let her into his house and soon life.

It had been weeks since the strange girl had appeared in town and for weeks she had not said a single word. It was said that she could neither speak nor understand a singe word that they spoke. The people grew even more suspicious of her every passing day. She like her host had black hair after all which was a sure sign she must be one of the others. It was said that she must be one of their enemies and since the young townsman allowed her in he must be with them now too. More and more people believed the rumours every day until both were banned from the small town in the middle of nowhere.
The young man took care of the girl from then on and after a while they found a cave to sleep in. There was no other town near that wanted to take them in and so they stayed together for weeks and month to come. Both grew closer until finally they ended up in love with each other.

One morning after their first night to be really together – be one – everything was different. Both felt a connection to each other but only she could feel the force pulling her back to where she belonged. She had known her time would be limited but he did not. With the first and last words she ever said she confessed her love for him but before he could even reply she was gone. A girl of seventeen saw her lost love for one more moment before disappearing to the sky a moment later with the child created by love of the purest kind. The young man was then killed while she returned to live with the others – their enemies. She was never again the same, never again one of the others. Her wish had been granted and she always remembered the moment she spent with him.

A moment, a lifetime, and eternity. Nothing mattered after they had found love never to be parted again and she never again uttered a single word.
