Open A Gentle Breeze

[Abigail Wolf]

Abigail often walked through the streets of New Zealand during the early hours of the morning, she found it a great time to relax and she especially loved to watch the sunset. Her parents didn't mind because they had taught her how to look after herself from a much younger age, so if anything were to happen she would at least be able to get away to get help. The place she lived was often quiet, though, so she didn't see herself having that problem ever, it was very rare for there to ever be that kind of problem here. With a smile she approached a hill where she would be able to sit and watch the sunrise, and she took a seat, falling back onto her butt and laying on her back.

 

[Sawyer Carnahan]

Sawyer liked to walk when he needed some space, grateful that while his dad could be overbearing, he was pretty good about letting Sawyer to what he wanted. Since Theia had gone to school, Sawyer had missed having her around a lot, and not just because it now meant that Sawyer got the full brunt of their younger siblings' attention. It was early, but Sawyer knew if he didn't slip out now, before the others wake up, he'd never be able to get away without someone following him or asking him to play gobstones with them or something.

It was still a bit chilly out without the sun, and Sawyer slipped a bit on the dew as he made his way up the hill, but he knew this was a good spot. He couldn't remember if Theia or Mum had shown it to him first, and his heart ached a little at the thought of either of them, but it seemed like exactly what he needed at the moment. He was surprised when he crested the hill and saw someone already there, watching the sky. He dithered for a moment, considering just going back home, but decided he'd already come all the way up here that he might as well stick it out. "Your back's gonna get wet." He said abruptly, once he'd confirmed the girl was actually awake and breathing and stuff.
