Have a half-finished story :D, i'm updating it as much as I can though but writer's block, anyways I'll continue writing to it

-----------------------------------------------------

      The forest covered the mountain like a skirt on a dancer, birds cawed and made noises all around this small cabin, tucked away within the forest. It was definitely worn from weathering over the years and looked like it had stood for almost fifty years, rose bushes grew around the outside along with some vines from the tree canopy above. Small, purple flowers grew and curtained the old doorway, in the distance footsteps, light and dainty, could be heard as a blonde girl with blue eyes emerged from the trees off to the left, she looked roughly 12 years old and was all sorts of happy. A small white dog followed behind her, happily yipping and barking as it raced around in circles, a squirrel scurried across in front of the girl making her squeak for a moment, which caught the attention of the puppy exploring with her.

     "Daisy! No, don't chase mister squirrel, bad dog!" The blonde called out to the white dog, racing and weaving through the grass and roots of the towering trees. The squirrel chittered, horrified that it would end up as the furry beast's next meal, purely only running off of instinct that it had learned.  Daisy skittered to a halt as she heard her name, but merely disregarded the child and took off running after the animal that ended up running into the cabin, tucked away from sight. Emily sighed and yelled Daisy's name again, while running towards where the dog and squirrel had run and hid, but she stopped with an astounded gasp as she spotted the cabin, "Wow this is like something from a fairytale, like- like hmm well like something..." 

     The young child murmured as she slowly approached the old, worn door and lightly pushed it open, "H-Hello?" A friendly gust of wind cupped her cheek for only a moment, before drifting out the now opened door, the atmosphere in the abandoned cabin was surprisingly warm and friendly making Emily giggle a bit. "It's so pretty here, I wonder if anyone misses this place?" Her innocent gaze looked towards the whole room; books littered what looked like a living room, with a couple of large-ish oak bookshelves, small sketches laid strewn all across the oak table. Emily quietly shuffled towards the papers, an innocent look in her eyes as her small hand reached out to grasp the yellowed-edge sheet, "Ooo, this is a pretty drawing! It looks like my mommy!" The young girl giggled and kept looking through the pages, however she stopped on some other sheets of paper with drawings of many insignias and summoner's circles.

     "Awe I love drawing circles and shapes too like this," She spoke, however, the distant sound of footsteps could be heard outside, making her gasp and hide under the table. The footsteps got louder as they approached the front door, blue hues watched as the door opened without any touch, 'Whoa, just like it done to me.' Emily thought as a stranger walked in, he looked to be rather jovial, and had a beard as white as snow, 'Is that Santa Claus??? Why's he out in the spring???' The poor girl had no idea who this man was nor why he was walking into an abandoned house of all things, silently she kept her mouth shut as Daisy hid silently with her, however as the man got closer Daisy ended up springing forth and barking up a storm, which caused the young girl's eyes to widen.
