Wynn sat at the edge of her bed, tying up her shoes. She listened, silently, for any noise. She dared not to go out if her mother had gotten up. Finding she was only met by silence, she slowly stood and approached the window. She slid it open and crawled out, climbing her way down from the second story with ease. Not before closing her window, of course. Landing on the ground quietly, she took a moment to observe her surroundings and bask in the moonlight. It was reassuring, really. How the trees smelled or the light seemed to warm her skin. She felt....free. In some sense or another.
Slowly she began to inch away from her house, diving deeper and deeper into the woods nearby. She navigated the trees with silent confidence, seeming unafraid. The curiosity that came with these woods intrigued her. She wanted to know what was in them. She wanted to explore the trees and ponds and life. She wanted to know it all. She wouldn't in the short time she had, she knew, but she could see what she could find for the bit of time she had. She wasn't resentful towards her parents, but she was unsure of why they'd kept her locked away. It seemed strange, to stay away from a world so interesting and peculiar.
She smiled slightly as she found a small watering hole. She enjoyed looking down at the clear water, wondering what hide in the depths of the liquid.
