[ WP ] A girl gains the power to bring images to life by breathing on them . How did she get it and/or how does she use it ?

The men were chasing her. 
 
 They had held her and chained her and forced her and she would not be held or chained or forced any longer. 
 
 She did n't remember anything before the chains, the blank walls. They brought in pieces of white blotched with things she never understood and told her to make them alive. 
 
 Sometimes, she refused. 
 
 Sometimes, she did n't get dinner. 
 
 Without dinner, she did n't refuse. 
 
 The things that were alive sometimes snapped out at her captors and she could only offer them a despairing look and a whine of sadness ( pity? ) as they were taken away in chains larger than her.

 One day they dropped one of the pieces of white in her room. A simple mistake. 
 
 The next time they came in, she smiled as her pet painted the room red, red like her life she had spilled to paint it out. It was hers. It was her. 
 
 She walked out of the room where the white turned to grey, cold and unyielding as her chains which her pet had cut out, chirping happily to her as she smiled and thanked it. 
 
 The guards had tried to run, but they were only more red to add to the collection. 
 
 She saw the green in the ground and the blue in the sky for the first time and the pictures started to make sense. But the flashing red and blue was still coming after her. And so she ran.

 She did n't know where to run, of course, and it was impossible to hide her pet. But she eventually found herself inside another building. The pictures were plastered all over the walls, and the walls stretched for ever so long. Were they real? She had never believed the green and blue could have been real until she had left, so perhaps the gnarled, sharp pets that the colours showed could have been real. 
 
 She was n't worried when the men barged in and started searching for her. She made her way over to the largest pictures that showed the largest pets. 
 
 It was her world for the shaping, and it was time she made it real.
