The forest fire: from a tree princess's view

The girl was curled up in a ball.
She yawned and stretched her legs out. 
She could hear the earthworms moving around her and the last of the crickets chirping .
She rolled three time to her left, she blinked at the sudden brightness of the sun.
She looked up and saw her soul, it's branches were long and thin and his leaves were bright green.
She sat up and her soul whined in protest.
She curled her toes and her soul's roots moves beneath her.
She looked around her, all her other friends and their souls were gone.
The fire that started that night took them all away.
A tear fell from her eye, a leaf fell from her tree and brushed her cheek. She picked it up and held in tight.
She was the last of the tree people, she was last one of the entire forest.
She stood up and looked around.
"I am the last living princess." She said quietly
then she slowly started to cry.
