Prologue

JUST LETTING YOU KNOW! THIS TAKES PLACE ON EARTH NOT SOME CRAZY PLANET! Enjoy!! :))

Could you imagine being given a seed as a gift when you're born? Well, that's exactly what you got. As a new born, the first gift given to you, is a small seed.

Once you leave the hospital, you're mum will be in charge of the seed. She'll water it everyday until you're six and you're able to care for it on your own.

Your poppet will grow with you and once you're ten, your poppet will start to look like a person. When they start growing flowers in their hair, that's when they begin to discover there unique power and it's your job to help them find it.

Your poppet is your best friend, you should be able to be comfortable with them and feel safe and comforted. It's like having a dog, but instead, you had a poppet and poppets stayed with you forever until the day you pass away.

"Oh, wow, this is a beautiful seed." Johannah was in awe as she looked at the seed in the small velvet box. The seed was a shade of lilac and it had glittery, silver specks all over it. She smiled as she inspected the seed for her baby boy.

"It is, isn't it?" The nurse agreed and smiled at her. "I've worked here almost 30 years and I've never seen a seed like that before."

"My mum said my seed was a dark shade of red, almost wine. She said she was scared my poppet would be rude and snobby but Ella is the sweetest little poppet." Johannah laughed and handed the small box to the nurse.

"I'll put the seed in a pot and you'll be released and ready to go home with your little one." The nurse smiled at her and left the room. Johannah smiled down at her baby who was nestled in her arms and stretched her head down and kissed his forehead.

"My beautiful baby boy. Beautiful little Louis."

6 years later. . .

{ Louis is now 6 years old }

"Louis! I have a surprise for you!" Johannah yelled from the kitchen.

"Coming mummy!" Louis yelled back.

"I hope he's excited! I'm so excited! There's now another poppet in the house!" Ella, Johannah's poppet, did little twirls in the air in excitement and Johannah laughed and walked into the living room.

"Yes mummy?" Louis said as he got up on the couch.

"You know how you turned six a few weeks ago and had that fun birthday party?" Louis nodded and smiled.

"Of course I remember silly!" Louis giggled and covered his mouth.

"Since you're six now, you can now take care of your poppet!" Louis gasped and jumped up and down.

"I'll take good care of my poppet mummy!" Louis nodded eagerly as his mum handed him the flower pot.

"Don't drop it!" She said as she gently placed the pot in his small hands.
