Scarlet

You gather the garbage bag from the bin in your small two bedroom apartment. You walk down the seven flights of stair and out the back door where the dumpsters are. As you walk out and throw the garbage in the dumpster, you spot a foot sticking out from a cardboard box. You go to investigate and find a petite girl in dirty torn cloths asleep in the box. She has bruises on her body and is covered in dirt from living on the streets. Its is a cold night in late autumn she shivers as she sleeps. You move to make sure she is alright when, she wake's up with a startled look of terror in her eyes. She tries to move away then yelps is pain and grabs her ankle. She look up at you a grimace on her face, her natural violet eyes stand out against her dirty face and matted hair.
