Melody

Sail away to freedom.

I love the sea.The breeze of sea.I love the freedom that it bring .I love the sea horse when they sing there songs.The cry of the birds as they fly alone .I love the sea now, I am free.

As I was sailing long .I remembered all the work that to do to get here .Will I ever be loved by a mom. and dad? I don't know? But I have a few friends that help along .It's really sad .If you think about it. I found out when ,I was 6 .That they weren't my parents . They never loved me, in the first place. It was one night.When I couldn't sleep .I was sitting on a tree limb, above there room .I can hear every word they said ;Georgette asked how long do we have to keep her ? They only paid so much money .We are still very poor .He said ;we would be rich if we took her .We're supposed to keep her until she's 16 years . They said ;they would kill her ,before she can gets too strong. She's too pretty. People might recognize who her parents are. Best keep away from everybody for as long as we can. Maybe they'll pay us more if we kill her are self? I remember putting my hand over my mouth, and crying. I fell asleep on the tree limb ,In the morning ,I couldn't even eat. So, I put some food in my pocket .Left the house before they woke up.

Ash
I walk towards the ocean, and see two eyes looking at me in tree. I said, hello. He wouldn't move. Like I, didn't see him. I walk toward him, and I put my hand out .To say hello. How can you see me? My name is Melody ?What is yours name? He says ,I am Ash. And you do not belong in these woods. It's against the law to be in the woods. They are protected. I love the woods ,because I feel safe . So, I start walking into the woods. Ash jumped down ,before I get past Oro tree. He put his arms out like it's going to stop me, from going in the woods. I asked him where is his mom ? Do you have a mom .I thought ,I had a mom, and dad. But they are not mine. I found out last night. They do not love me, so I belong in the woods, more than you! I say again ,do you have a mom, and dad ? I walk past him. And push his arm out of the way. Ash, looks down at the ground, and Huff ,as I passed him. So, you don't have a mommy ?So we can help each other out. Ash says, I have a mother . As he put his hands on his hips .My father died helping out my mother, and helping out to protect the woods. I said, how old are you. I am 6.
Ash says ,I am 8 ,going on 9. I am big now, and I can help out my mommy, and protect the wood. Melody says,I swear to to protect the wood. I puts out her pinky. Pinky swear ,she says What do you do? I tell people to stay away, and watch for them . Ash says, we can pretend to be ghosts to scare them away. I put my pinky out again, and we both swear to protect the woods. Melody says she's hungry are you? I have some food in my pocket you want to share? Ash said, he has some food too so, we set down. We share are food together. Ash, tell me his mommy works in the kitchen. She works really hard. This the only way we can get food, and have a roof over are head. After they killed my daddy. Ash say ,who killed your daddy?The girl in the castle. She did not like my dad.So, she told them to kill my father . Because princess is the's the strongest magic in our kingdom. So, by law she is the ruler of the land .Everybody has to follow her rules . She had them kill my daddy. Because he was trying to protect the woods . Woods our magical The magic is for all of us. Princess said,I am the strong so we don't need the woods. So ,my mother told the the council to all, the kingdoms that princess killed my husband. She wanted to kill the woods. My mom got a job as a cook. The princess was very angry ,but she can't do thing about it . Because the council protects my mommy, and me. So, the princess has to put up with us . I cannot say, or do anything against the woods either. Because the council protects the wood. We talked for awhile. I got to try to figure out.How I'm gonna fish for dinner tonight.To my pretend parents, because I have to pretend.They're still my parents ,so they don't know what I heard. Ash, shows me his little boat, and it has a net .We go out. Ash show me how to fish. I make a fire away from the woods ,with the help of Ash. We eat some fish.Ash gave me some fruits ,and nuts. I wrap the all food up ,and go hide food in my skirt. I go home . Georgette ,yells at my face, and asked me where I was. I been point to my bedroom like, I am scared of my room. That's no excuse ,so she slapped me in the face , and locks me in my room. It was good. I got some food from Ash ,and we went fishing.Because they didn't let me out until the other night, and told me to clean the house for they went to bed. They sent me to bed without ,no food. I slept tell early morning. I packed all my stuff .My mommy's necklace. A knife, georgeous bow and arrows ,a blanket my pillow, my clothes ,shoes, and a few linens. I put it all in George backpack .He's going to be mad.That I took his stuff, but he's never going to find me again. I'm not going to wait around for them to kill me. I walked with the woods. Now this is the beginning. Of my life. I say to myself.
