It was the dead of night, in the distance Jelena could hear the eerie howling of a wolf who welcomed the waxing moon, otherwise it was quiet, deathly quiet. The small forest clearing was dimly lit by the light of the moon. Jelena was alone and that was a good thing, she thought to herself. She liked to be in this clearing, far away from her house and her problems. She lay down in the damp, frost-covered grass and looked up at the night sky. Countless stars flash up there, like many valuable jewels. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She was happy to be here, because this was the only place where she really felt free ... But this feeling of "freedom" did not last long, because there was a rustle behind her, a large figure, and the voice that called her name :
"JELENA!"
As if in a trance, Jelena opened her eyes, sat up and turned around in a flash. Her heart was pounding when she saw the darkly clad person whose face was in shadow.The figure took a step forward and only now does Jelena recognize who had called her. "Hitoshi!", Jelena notes with relief, "you scared me!" She took a deep breath and took a step towards the tall, young man. "I didn't mean that, I'm sorry!", Hitoshi said and ran his flat hand through his hair, as he always did when he didn't know what to do with his fingers. "but I was worried!", he said and dropped his hand, "you were gone so suddenly, and Miguel said that you were walking here in the forest. Well, it's late! I was looking for you ! "Jelena smiled. “Dear of you!” There was a long pause in which the two looked at each other quietly and obviously didn't know what to say. "Actually, I wanted to talk to you!" Hitoshi finally managed to say, looking slightly bent. "Oh good! Let's take a few steps!", Jelena said a little curiously to the redhead, who nodded and slowly put one leg in front of the other.Jelena did the same. A few minutes passed while the two slowly slouched. Jelena looked into Hitoshi's beautiful eyes. It was strange that he was so quiet, she thought, because otherwise he was always very talkative and laughed a lot.
"Jelena ...", Hitoshi began
"Yes?" asked the young woman uncertainly.
"I have to go!" Said Hitoshi, and looked Jelena right in the face for the first time. As if struck by lightning, it stopped. Unable to say anything, she stared at the tall figure that she loved so much and that was so close and yet so far from her.
