Zane hugged his legs up close to his chest as his bruised body rocked back and forth. An extra hour was added on his daily beating from the usual kids who had found his little 'home' in the rotten crate. Strangers walked by ignoring his measly existence as painful tears streamed down his swollen face.
Even the plump rodents avoided his existence. In his dark hour, a warm hand caressed his cold sunken cheeks. Looking upwards he came face to face with big sapphire eyes that held great care. The little stranger gave him a sunny smile as she held tightly onto his bony hand, supporting him up on his shaky limbs.
Without a word to voice his discomfort, he followed her quickly out the village unto a dusty path that led to an open field of flowers. They came to an abrupt stop as she turned toward him with a goofy smile.
"I'm Elizabeth, just call me Liz."
Zane stood there stiffly as he did not know what to do.
"What's your name?" Liz asked as she looked into his sea-green eyes.
"Z...a....ne." A soft trembling whisper was his only reply.
Liz tilted her head cutely as a cheerful smile graced her lips.
"Do you want to play with me?"
Such words cause Zane to tense stiffly. After seeing all those scornful expressions, a girl wasn't disgusted at him. Looking deeply into her eyes he replied meekly.
"O....ok."
Since that day life was bliss for Zane as they would play every day in their flower field; away from the scornful looks.
