Secrets Of The Thorn (A Creepypasta x OC Story)

Chapter 1 -Introduction-

Meet Pearl Roseland Thorn. Or just Pearl. As that is the name that many know her by.

The few people who have crossed paths with Pearl and met her, were more often then not, left with a lasting impression. Most of the impressions left were good. While some were iffy. But most if not all of them would describe her in the same exact way. They would describe her saying that even though she seems to speak in a sort of monotone, emotionless voice while also seeming to be emotionally detached. She has a kind, caring and compassionate soul. One that is willing to listen to you and help you. If only a little weird due to the way she helps you. This is due to the fact, that she will only help you, if you wish and admit that you need help. If not, she will she silently sit there and give you company, she won't force you to talk about it, and will wait until you admit that you need help and are ready to talk. She will even check in on those that she has helped in the past, and are currently helping.

But one thing is for sure. While she will acknowledge your presence. She will not speak to you unless you speak to her first. And that no matter how much you ask her, she will not reveal anything about herself, except for her name and what her home is like.

But while she is known for this. She is also known for having a huge soft spot for children, and it's common knowledge that she takes joy in their company, while also loving to interact and playing with them. Though while she may not show it, they can tell. She's also extremely co-operative with the towns people and law enforcement if something ever comes up. She will guide those who have become lost in the woods, out. Helps those who have been injured while in the woods and can't get back to town on their own, back to town. She protects the towns people by keeping them from wandering into the dangerous side of the woods as much as she can. She helps with search parties when ever someone goes missing inside of the woods. Or protecting weary travelers and campers going through the woods from wild animals.  

Due to this, the people in the town have come to see her as an enigma. Someone whom is deeply shrouded in mystery. Some people in the town have come to believe that she is either a goddess or an angel. One that's come down to earth to help those around her. Some believe that she is a tree nymph, or woodland fairy that dwells in the nearby woods. While some people believe that she's an ancient spirit that has decided to reside in the woods next to the town. Many people believe this is due to her vast array and seemingly limitless knowledge of the universe around them. While some just simply believe that she is a regular girl with a soft spot for children, that is extremely smart beyond her years. But yet despite all that she knows, she is still kind, caring and compassionate to those around her. 

It is, in fact, extremely rare to actually properly meet her. Though it's not all that uncommon of a sight to see her lurking about the edges of the woods near the town, or interacting with the children.

More often then not, she can be found playing and interacting with the children in the open field next to the woods. If she can't be found playing and interacting with them, she can be seen sitting under the shade of a tree at the edge of the woods, peacefully watching over them as they play. Or with a group of children surrounding her, and talking to her. The children would often ask her an array of things, from asking her to tell them a story, all the way to asking her on how to make something. The children loved to play with her hair, including the boys. One thing everyone knew, was that she never failed to entertain the children. And that the children absolutely loved her.

A lot of the time when someone other then a child approaches her, it's just because they want to. Many have come to the conclusion that she's able to tell the difference between someone seeking her out her help, and someone seeking her out just for the hell of it - because she will seemingly instantly disappear back into the woods, only to come back out once when they are gone. Or until something or someone that requires her help comes up.
