" You shouldn't be allowed to walk this earth with us! Your mother should lose her head. You're a witch too and shouldn't be alive!", said a woman from the village while passing beside me. It sure hurts hearing something like that but, it has became daily to hear comments like that. As I'm on my way to go get the week's groceries, a tomato crosses my face. " Don't you ever dare to come here, ever again!" The grocery man said, "You should be ashamed for coming out again after what your mother did yesterday." he adds. My mother yesterday escaped the house and came here. She hit a woman saying she was a terrorist. Thank god my father who was at the time buying her pills came and got her out of there. I really should be ashamed for coming back. Especially when the woman whom  my mother hit was his wife. My father told me to apologise to him. He sent me to get thrown out like rubbish instead of him. As always I should take care of what my mother does. It never goes the other way around.

                                                                                 .             .              .

I'm now going home. Passing through the creepy said to be forest which is always on my way back. I've once came across a wolf. I had to climb a tree and wait for him to leave as I was running back home in tears. My father sculted me and hit me with his bealt that night."Fuck!" I say as I push a rock. "Fuck. Fuck. Fuck! Fuck everyone. I'm not my mother, I'm not. I'm not a monster."I scream as I fall back down on a tree and tears start rolling down my cheeks, and then my neck and then my corset is wet before I even realise it. "I did nothing wrong.", I say as I keep crying, and crying, and crying, and crying and..."Shh", a voice said." They can't find us here." Someone says putting his hand on my mouth. As I release my mouth, the person who's a male seems to realise that I've been crying. "Are you okay? Hurt maybe?" That's when I notice the warm ocean blue eyes of his. They remind me of an Atlantic picture I once saw in a book, deep, mysterious but also having a soft,  protective part inside them. Then my attention moves all the way up to his messy brown hair. They look like they keep a lot of secrets which I'd really like to unfold one by one. His clothes on the other hand, seem to be made from good materials, only some rich family could afford nowdays. But now they're pretty much covered in mud.

And that's when I realise he's on top of me as we fell backwards. It was then he put his hand onto my mouth for me to keep quiet. He asked me if I was okay. I did not respond. I looked him in the eyes instead. Oh no! Did I give him the wrong message? But it doesn't seem like it. He now looks at my long, raven hair. They're quite long and that's what causes many people to call me a witch. My mother helps too. When I'm about to assure him that I'm not a witch and that I'm pretty much angry and not sad he locks eyes with me. He doesn't seem to recognise me and that gives me a relief. Oh god. He looks like he dives down to my crystal blue eyes, not wanting to come back to the surface again for at least an hour. That's when I interrupt his little swimming daydream by saying " Uhm, I'm starting to get a bit uncomfortable sir. Is it possible of you moving aside?". That seems to wake him up because he, not immediantely, starts shaking his head as he helps me get up. What was he shaking his head for?

   "Olly, nice to meet you! Are you okay?". It takes me a few seconds to respond but when I do, my voice comes out a bit more trembling that expected. " I'm fine sir, now if you'll excuse me I have to-", I try to leave, but something stops me. A hand. A warm hand. A warm hand touching mine. Just that one movement makes my heartbeat go faster that lightspeed could ever go. " I didn't get your name, young lady" says the person who's name is Olly if I remember clearly. Young lady, young lady, young lady. That's what keeps playing in my head like a melody I really like.

   "Eleonor, but you can forget that piece of information, I'm not interested in meeting anyone at the moment." I say, as I coldly free my hand from his, cleaning myself from the mud and start walking away. But he follows me. Great, exactly what I needed. I can't although deny that he's charming and handsome and, god I sound pathetic. I was cold with him less that a minute ago and now I'm showering him with compliments. I stop shortly and unexpectedly, for me to ask him what's the matter and why he's following me. But as I turn to face that Olly guy, my unexpected move makes him fall onto me, again. But this time it's not his hand that covers my mouth. He now chose his mouth.

     I'm still in shock as I quickly get up and run deep into the forest as the wind unties a ribbon from my hair taking it with him. That makes my hair then fall onto my face but I don't really care. Then I hear Olly shouting "Wait!" from afar but I don't dare to look back. Too late.

      I'm already in my house and the whole thing won't leave my mind in peace. Wait. If I turn back time, who was could he possibly hiding from? Who was he running away from









Hello everyone! If my book has come to your attention and you're much of a music lover as I am, I have a couple of songs I suggest you should listen to while reading my whole book! 

--> Can't help falling in love ( Elvis Presley )

--> Say you won't let go ( James Arthur )

These are clearly my suggestions and my opinion on how accurate these songs are on the book! If you have any other song suggestions, then feel free to let me know about them and I'll try making a playlist for y'all! I'm soooo excited on how this book is going to turn out to be and I have a few plot twists in mind! See y'all next week or sooner for the next chapter! Until then, take care! Love you!<3333
