[center][fancypost=background-color:;border:0px;width:400px;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;line-height:1.4;]Why did she stay? Had it been because she was too scared, or perhaps the hope of seeing heaven still lingered. Either way her broken heart didn't get the chance to mend. Of course, what she wanted wasn't attainable. God, heaven, becoming an angel again, they weren't things that wouldn't happen. Yet she kept throwing herself at the idea. So desperate to become what she once was that she kept entertaining the impossible, torturing herself. The mental torment of grasping at nothing was obvious just from a glance. Her eyes were swollen, if she wasn't crying then Mallory was laying somewhere waiting until tears would flow again. A heavy depression had draped itself across her like a warm blanket, and she readily accepted the blistering heat. She had no one and would let no one in. Many animals had felt pity for the fallen angel and tried to comfort her only to give up. Now they just avoided her, too empathetic to throw her out yet also annoyed with her constant weeping.
However, if one was to watch her at that moment they would be none the wiser. Soft and almost ethereal looking the dark fox was surrounded by meadowsweet. Her ebony fur was laced with the cream colored petals, the natural perfume pleasant. The sunshine made the scene look like a photograph, everything so gentle and glowing. She looked beautiful which was possibly the first time since landing on earth. Yes, with the wind stirring up her lush fur, sun making the ends look golden, Mallory even felt pretty. A fresh supply of tears began, but not because of sadness, instead out of relief. The sunshine reflecting off the tears made them look like little jewels running down her cheeks. Closing her eyes she imagined beautiful, elegant wings sprouting from her shoulder blades, the heavenly glow she once carried surrounding her. An angel, she was an angel again.
The illusion broke as a cool breeze brought her back to reality. There were no wings, no glow, just a stupid, stupid girl. Her eyes immediately became melancholic as she looked up at the clouds. Someday she would be whole again, she would be beautiful again. That's all she wanted.
