The singing Tree (Walk Two Moons sequel)

The Unknown Truth

Chapter 3

I turned around and saw the same butterflies as before. I could see the hope in their eyes, wanting me to help. I had no ideas to opening the field but they did. "If you want help you must let us in," they said. They calmed down the poor lonely tree trying to make it feel better. Finally the mysterious tree gave in letting only me in. I looked towards the butterflies wondering what to say. All they said back was, "Ask from the heart, you will find your way from there." I thought for what felt like hours, thinking if what to do. I only had one idea which I knew wasn't going to help. I asked the tree what was wrong, "Autumn Is lonely!!!" it wheeled. This only made things worse. I tried a bucket of water, it only made it worse. I tried everything I could do but they all hurt Autumn even more. I realized I had failed, I felt horrible!!!! Autumn was crying for help and I couldn't give it to her. I began running as fast as I could hoping for the sound of home. All I could hear was,"From The Heart" and "SAVE ME!!!!" I ran behind a rock and began crying, "There was nothing I could do" I sobbed. Then I heard it again, "From the heart" it whisperd. "WHAT DOES THIS ALL MEAN!!!!" I yelled. All I remember after that is hearing footsteps. Than blacking out into the darkness of night.
