Wanda began to find some hope.

She was certain that there was help in that light, albeit far in the distance.

Life usually indicated one thing, and that was the modern civilization.

In that sense, light also meant there were people nearby.

A smile suddenly appeared on her face.

Her face was lit up amidst the darkness that covered her.

After a long walk, Wanda finally met the light.

A three-storied villa stood in front of her.  The light had led her to that area.

Wanda felt the warmth spread from the bottom of her heart, and she had a sudden episode of serenity.

That night, she had learned the importance and beauty of light.

That was the first time her tough demeanor actually yearned for the light during the darkest hours of the night.

The gate of the villa was ajar.The hall on the first floor was all lit up, and delicate curtains shimmered under the light.The room felt warm and looked inviting.

Wanda had already used up all her strength in traversing the forest.She was tired, hungry, and scared.

At that moment, she felt like a wandering bird.

It felt as if she had suddenly found her way back to her nest.

She gently pushed the door open and decided to walk inside.

Soon, she found herself standing by the door of the house.

Wanda felt as if intrusion was her only choice.At that moment, she decided to knock the door.

"Hello? Hello? Is anybody home?"

Wanda knocked incessantly at the door.Her urgent knocks were exceptionally harsh, especially in that quiet night.

After some time, the closed door remained hinged.It seemed like no one was in that house.

'Why would the lights be lit then?’’ Wanda asked herself.

She turned around and looked at the dark forest behind her. Once again, the darkness crept on her.
