I was trying not to think about my Gran but it was very hard not to do. She is... was my everything, she had taken care of me since I was a baby. My parents died when I was a baby, well my mom did but I don't know about my father. My Gran won't tell me about him, only that he was never really in my Mother's life, that he is a very bad man but Gran said he wasn't always that way. It happened the night that she told him that they were going to have a baby and then the next morning he was a totally different man. He tried to hurt her so she ran away from him and she never saw or heard from him again and now I would never know who or where he is. I did want to know but Gran would never tell me.

Sometimes I can't help but think about him, especially as he is all that I have left. I have always felt like something was missing from my life and I just knew that it had to do with him, but I also felt like it wasn't a good thing if he was to come back into my life.

Don't ask me how I know that because I won't be able to tell you that, it's just this feeling that I get sometimes. I just get them and my Gran would tell me that one day they would grow into something bigger.

Well, let me tell you who I am, my name is Rina Reon Sander and I am 26 years old and I am an only child, well unless my father had any more kids that I don't know about. I grew up with my Gran in Eugene, Organ. It was just the two of us for the longest time, she didn't let me go out much because she was worried that I would get hurt or something like that.

I think it was something different but she wouldn't tell me anything else and she would always close herself off when I would try to talk about it.

I have lived my whole life in this house and the forest around it, not that I am complaining because I love it out here and wouldn't want to be anywhere else. It's not bad, but she told me when she passed on that I needed to bury her and that I couldn't ever leave the house or bad things would happen to me, but she wouldn't tell me what the bad things were.

She taught me how to hunt so I knew that I would be okay with food and I could stay here but that didn't mean I wanted too, I wanted to get out in the world and live a little.

I had just gotten done filling in her grave when I looked around, it was well after dark and I knew that I needed to be getting back to the house. I didn't have much time until her guards would go up and I would have to spend the night in the woods.

That had happened once before when my Gran left me here and she went into town for the night and let me tell you she was not happy when she got back and I wasn't in the house.

I quickly got my things together and took off through the woods as fast as I could. I knew that I only had 3 minutes and 47 seconds to get back inside the guards, like I said I didn't want that to happen again.

I was moving so fast that I didn't even notice that I was moving too fast to be humanly possible. As soon as I got back inside I took a deep breath and looked around in time to see the guards go up.

I made it just in time.

It was a beautiful thing to watch, all the colors that would move up to the sky and then over my head until they came together and then the colors would shoot back down to the earth. It was a very hard spell to make and cast, it was one that I was never able to get right but I knew that I had to keep trying. I didn't have a choice, I would have to put it up tomorrow night, all on my own.
