Her thoughts race as she spots a dilapidated shack at the edge of the swamp. It looks abandoned, a perfect place to clean herself up. She cautiously approaches, each step echoing through the stillness. The door creaks open, revealing a few ragged clothes and a murky puddle of water inside. She takes her chance, hoping the villagers won't come looking for her here.
With trembling hands, she peels off her ruined dress, revealing a scar on her neck that tells the story of her untimely end. The pain of the memory is as fresh as the day it happened. Her reflection in the water's surface shows a beautiful, yet tragic creature. She cleans herself up as best as she can, using the stale water to scrub away the grime and stench.
Her hunger gnaws at her insides, but she pushes it aside, focusing on her humanity. She dons the shack's clothes, which are too big for her, but they cover her modestly. The fabric feels rough against her cold skin, but it's a welcome change from the sticky dress. She looks around for anything that might help her blend in, spotting a piece of rope to tie around her waist. It's a feeble attempt at normalcy, but it's something.
The girl steps out into the light, her eyes squinting as she adjusts to the brightness. She takes a deep breath and heads toward the village, her heart racing with both fear and anticipation. She's no longer just a creature of the swamp; she's a girl with a mission, hoping someone will understand her plight.
