The Dryad

Prologue

Hey all! Here's the start of this adventure! I hope you all enjoy it! Thanks for reading!

I do not know Greek so any Greek will be in italics as to keep things from being confusing. Any native Greek speakers who wanna help me out feel free to drop any info in the comments or anything of stuff you want me to incorporate and I'll give it a look over!

I also don't own any of these characters aside from Dimitra, any other Dryads mentioned in this story and some plot points. The main plot and other characters belong to their original author, Stephanie Meyers.

Light streamed in through the large window the light falling on the stirring figure huddled under dark green covers on the bed. Waves of long dark curly hair spread out across the matching dark green pillow cases, dark strands dotted with daisies and marigolds as well as one small leafy vine. Eyes open half lidded and squinting against the invading light which caught on the bright green highlighting the flecks of gold mixed throughout green irises. The figure's gaze shifted to the clock letting out a sigh when the clock showed it was about 6 am. Sitting up and stretching with a loud groan of effort the obviously female figure rose. Olive skin hued with gold seemed to almost glow under the light as delicate fingers untangled and then braided the unruly dark curls. Looking at her reflection to make sure her hair was tamed the girl sighed as she took in her appearance. She looked to be about high school aged with a well structured face, sharp jawline, and long straight nose. Turning away from the mirror she moved on to picking her jewelry for the day choosing gold rings with black stones that she placed on her fingers. Moving next to her closet she selected a brown floral smock dress, pale burgundy long sleeved cardigan, a pair of light tan suede western boots, and her suede cross body brown purse.

She turned to the mirror checking her appearance before putting on a light layer of make up to hide the golden hue to her face. She checked her room making sure she had everything she would need for school. 

Her room was rather simple with a dark green bed set, white carpet, and lighter green painted walls which were decorated with plants both real and fake. She had a dark wooden dresser matching with the dark wood bed frame and mirror that she'd used moments before to get ready. After doing a thorough check and making her bed she moved to her other before school tasks.

It was a short walk from her bedroom to her kitchen as her cottage was small with only one bedroom. A short hallway lead to the bathroom before leading into the kitchen and living room which had a rather open plan. The kitchen was rather barren of anything aside from the necessary appliances. The counters a dark stone with dark wood occupied by a single pot containing a Butterfly Orchid which seemed to radiate warmth and whispered a soft greeting to the girl much like the live plants in her bedroom had. She smiled whispering a greeting back as she set to work quickly watering her plants. She checked the time again knowing her cottage was a bit of a drive from school. Though she didn't want to be late on her first day the girl wouldn't dare forget to care for her plants before leaving. Once done tending to the plants she grabbed a water bottle from the fridge as well as her backpack before passing through the living room which had a single couch and a TV. The rooms all keeping the same color scheme of greens, dark wood browns and white. She rather liked it that way not caring if it may seem repetitive or monotonous to keep the same color scheme in every room. She stepped out onto the porch locking the door before walking out to her car which had probably seen better days. A run down Volkswagen Bug sat in the driveway painted a rich forest green. She slid into the driver's seat sending up a silent prayer to Gods that the car would start before turning the key. She cheered when the car started. The girl buckled herself in before she pulled out of her driveway and headed down the dirt road starting the drive to Forks High.
