When I was four I lost my parents, they were burnt at the stake. My father's sister told the towns people a lie and now they are gone. They chased me into the forest where there were monsters and things that made a four-year-old girls scared. I had to learn how to look after myself, learn how to fight of all the bad things in this forest. I live in a cave with trees and vines that cover the entrance. It is invisible to the outside world. I had to learn how to look after myself and I had to learn how to make all sorts of weapons, from swords to nun-chucks.
Now it's a week till my seventeenth birthday. Now I am heading north to the city to go and live with my Uncle and his two sons, before the city is the town where I lost my parents, where my sister, aunt and my cousin live. I'm hoping that every one in the town thinks that I am dead. Known that I'm alive they won't let me leave, probability they wouldn't let me live.
My cousin has been coming into the forest for the past nine years. She found me after five years of searching for me. Every time she visits's she would bring food, water and clothes. Now she is going to help me get through the town.
I am not that far away from where I have to meet her, its all most midnight. She said she would pack a bag with water, food, clothes and a map with the right directions to the city. She dose not know that I am going to see my mothers brother.
I know that he knows who I am, my mother use to write to him without any one knowing. She told him about me and she told me about him.
I wrote to him a few weeks ago and got a letter back saying that I can come and stay with them. That he was sorry, that he didn't know about any of this.
I will tell him the truth when I get there. I will tell him that Aunt Bethany knew what they would do if they knew who she was and what I had become. They wanted to punish the whole family but because my sister is only half they didn't need to worry about her and Aunt Bethany but in fact they do.
Just a few more minutes and I will see Amanda, I don't want to get her into trouble. She would be punished if they knew she knows that I am alive and she is helping me leave the forest to go to the city. Amanda dose not look like her mum, she looks more like her dad. She has the looks of an angel, fine facial fetchers, short with a body that is fine but dose not look tough just short and harmless. Her eyes are chocolate brown and blond brown hair that is not to long but not to short.
"Hello Amanda," I said as I approached her.
"Hello Amelia," she said smiling.
"What's with the two bags?"
"I thought I would tag along with you," she frowned. "I don't want to stay. By the time mum finds out that I am gone she wont have anytime finding people for a search party, by then we would be long gone," she started to smile.
I frowned, why would you want to come?
Because I can't stay here they are going to find out that you are alive and left the forest and they would think of me first. I just can't stay."
"Okay, well then on the way I have to tell you why I want to go to the city and not out of this country, but first we have to get through the town. What's the fastest way thought the town to the city?" I said frowning.
"Yes!!! If we go past the pub and out that way," she said.
"Okay but what if someone sees us?" I asked.
"Will that's why I brought hooded cloaks," she said pulling them out of her backpack. She handed one to me and we putted them on.
We walk to the pub in the dark. Some people look but didn't come any closer to use. As we rounded the corner to the pub I saw Juliet and froze where I was. Juliet has blond her with curls, fine body at mid hight, fine facial fetchers, and she holds her posture good. From where I am standing you could just see she had blue eyes but I know they are mid blue.
