Frozen memories

In a little town there's a pub called "four roses". In this little pub there's a window, and there's a little girl looking through the window. She's 19 years old, she's almost a woman. The moonlight touchs her and let us see a beuty violet eyes like Audrey Hepburn's eyes.

She's called Estrella, becouse she has a black star in her shoulder. She works in the pub since she was a child.
Estrella doesn't like troubles, but sometimes the troubles found you.

When all the drunk people goes to sleep, a men with ugly face enter in the pub. He looks like the death alive. That creepy men is called Antoine. He breaths with a mask doing a strange sound. The man calls Estrella.
- Where's John?
- He's in his home - Estrella sais.
- Call him, please.
- We'll close now, tomorrow maybe.
- Call hom right now i say!
Antoine is too furious and kick the chairs.
- Listen that little girl, i came here from too far and i won't leave until i see John.
His words sounds like a roar of an old lion. He shows a gun and Estrella runs to the door trying to scape. But the man caughts the girl.
His dirty tongue lips her face. The man try to break her clothes and she's so scared. He puts the girl on the table and he's touching the woman. Luckely, she gets a bottle and hit the man in his face.
She leaves the pub.

It's snowing outside, and she's almost naked. Antoine is in the streets too, so Estrella run away and goes to a forest. Her skin turns purple, and when she runs, the trees scratch her. She crash with the rocks and fall on the ground.

After the sunrise, nobody see Antoine again, maybe he died frozen. But Estrella still lost in the forest. Sometimes, her ghost appears between the trees and she whispers: the owls eat my eyes.
