Saturday
The Tree was the only one awake in this winter weather. It didn't know exactly why, but it knew it had something to do with the girl.
The girl with the red hair, dark eyes, and a kind heart.
As if on cue, an apple appeared on one of the branches of the Tree. It shone and glimmered in the winter sun, and seeing it radiate such goodness made the Tree happy, but alas! It was just a young one who hadn't realized the full magnitude of its power.
The apple dropped from the Tree and landed on a sharp rock, where it burst into many fragments as if it was made of glass. Instead of white insides, the meat was dark red.
The Tree watched in fascination as the red juice seeped into the ice, and if you were looking at it from a few blocks away, you might think they were droplets of blood instead.
