Essence

Emma's parents think she is dead.
It started with a shift in atmosphere. The forest greeted Emma with starting force. At first she couldn't move her limbs, and then her vision was rendered useless, paralyzed to the forces within the forest. The voices came in a dream at first, commanding her against her will deeper into the forest.  After months of fighting for control, it took only one moment to lose her human life forever. Now she is nothing more than an Essence, watching as her life unfolds without her.
