The Girl In The Shadows

chapter one

Crystal Hall got up from her bed feeling the cold wooden fall underneath her feet. She went to her closet and picked out her usual black tire like any other day. She went down to the kitchen putting the kettle on. She poured the warm liquid into a mug as it mixed with the tea bag. She took small sips not caring about it burning her rosy lips. She put the mug in the sink as she walked into the quiet living room. She heard the slightest sound of small birds chirping, not many animals roam in these parts of the forest so it was rare to hear birds chirp. She sat on the dusty couch while she grabbed the remote control. She heard the birds screech in pain as a sigh escaped her lips. 'His at it again.' She thought frowning. Galray a tall man, with midnight black hair and crimson red eyes was a man with the power to kill. He could open his palms as black mist wrapped around his preys neck stangleing them. He doesnt like people in his forest but he lets her stay. He was the one who looked after her when she was a child. 'If i could i would of chose someone else but because i was just a child i had no other choice but to let him care for me and teach me magic.'
