More than the Fire Burns

Chapter 1.

New chapter every Friday. Diary entries will vary.

Willow sneaked out of the house quietly.

"Momma! I'm going to feed the horses before Father rides them to town." She whispered.

Her Mother nodded.

She did feed and water the horses but she ran into the woods to meet Jonathan by the creek.

"Johnny!" She cried running to him.

"Willow!" He smiled at her embrace.

They held each other for a moment before speaking again.

" How is the apprenticeship going?" Willow wondered.

" Good, making books is just as fun as reading them." He kept smiling at her. He knew if he hit this apprenticeship right, he could have a business and be able to marry her.

" I wish I could work with you. I miss you often." Willow said.

"Hey, someday we won't be apart that long." Jonathan realized.

" Really?" She cheered.

"Yup." He said kissing her cheek.

She blushed a crimson red. They truly loved each other.

But Willow didn't know what would happen if Jonathan found out. Would he dub her a monster and kill her? Would he rage that she lied? Would he dare keep a secret for one he loved? She didn't know. For now all she had to do was keep this from Father. The head of the Witch Protection Alliance. W.P.A for short. He would find revenge on Jonathan for wanting to marry her. He'd probably frame Jonathan for witchcraft. Kill him then let the dagger be held by the victim.

" I have to go back before my master wakes up. We'll meet here again tomorrow, right?" He asked.

She nodded and watched him walk off into the distance.

She went to do her daily chores, daydreaming of what it would be like married. Of course she would run away. Father would (like said) kill anyone who disturbed his daughters. The Mason family had five daughters and no sons, which the family was trying to achieve. Jacob Mason was a bit over protective. But wouldn't you if your neighbors were being killed of stupid reasons to be what you are?
