18. Write a short tale about her that will help you & others better understand her drives & personality: "The night was chilly, the wind howling like a pack of wolves. The small child moaned softly & shifted in her sleep. She slowly opened her eyes, wondering what the other sound was, the one that was higher pitched, more human than the wind. Awakening more fully she recognized her mother's voice, begging through her screams, pleading for her life.

Terrified, Sorcha crept from her bed & quietly dressed. She could hear the heavy footsteps of the intruders and the crashing as they searched for people left in the house. She could hear her mother sobbing. She could not hear her father. Not his voice or his footstep. Quietly she eased open the shutters, and with a tear falling slowly down her cheek, she climbed into the cold, fog-filled night."
