The Willow In The Woods - Currently On Hold

Chapter Eleven

Lurking through the trees near Emaneska was Sam. "Ssso, this is your sssisster?" she asked. Emaneska sighed. "Yep." She said in sarcastic humor. "Her name is Lilly." "Nicce to meet you, Lilly!" Sam said. "Okay Lilly, we are almost there." Emaneska said in regret. She plugged her ears right away as she heard her sister fill her lungs with air. "YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YEAH!!" She screeched. 

"Okay, look, Lilly. I know you are excited, but your need to be excited in... a, mature manner?" Emaneska said, not knowing herself how to be excited... properly. "I dont know nor care what that means." Lilly replied. "Lilly, just act sweet and nice towards Willow, GOT IT!?" Emaneska said sternly. "Fine, but gimme gummy bears." Lilly demanded. "Aug whatever!" Emaneska said, handing her sister some gummy bears.

Emaneska heard the sound of gasping... and it was coming from Lilly. Emaneska slapped her hand over Lilly's mouth, knowing she was about to screech her lungs out. Lilly went completely silent and still when a silky soft vine, controlled by Willow, slowly rubbed Lilly's shoulder and arm. It wrapped slightly around Lilly's wrist and gently pulled her. Lilly obeyed and allowed herself to be led by the Willow tree.

"Hello, young child." Willow said in her soft, relaxing voice. "Hello..." Lilly said calmly and sweetly. "I am assuming you are Lilly, Emeneska's sister?" She asked. "Oh, yes!" Lilly said as a smile grew on her face. "It has been a long time since two people had found my location at the same time..." The silky vine gently moved Lilly's chin, showing her the glowing stones. Lilly's smile dropped and her face showed great worry when she took a look at the rose, since it was dull, not floating, and cracked. 

Wait, that stone was not cracked before! Did something happen? Emaneska thought. "I'm afraid, The Vines had attacked the forest while you were at school. The stone sensed it while you were getting Lilly, and crumbled even more than before. It is only a matter of time before the thorns will attack my beautiful forest once more."  Willow said.

The ground began to shake violently. "WOaOaOAoaAAH!!" Lilly screamed. She closed her eyes extremely tightly. Emaneska ran over and hugged her sister. Suddenly, underneath them began to sink in. They ran and looked at where they were just standing, but there was just a giant, ugly, black vine with blue thorns. "What the!?" Emaneska yelled. All around them and the Willow, the ground uplifted, and more black ugly vines grew from out of the ground. "Hah! You thought you could defeat me!? You are just a dumb tree!! And you two!!" The mysterious woman yelled. She paused for a couple seconds, and pointed at Lilly and Emaneska. I swear I just now heard a gasp... Emaneska thought. "You..." Said the woman in a frantic search for words. That voice... Emaneska though again.
