The Hidden Half

Chapter One

I woke up right in the middle of my treehouse in the woods, feeling as if I was in the darkness of space. Well, I was still half asleep, that's mostly why I felt like I was in space. Anyways, after I was fully awake, I heard something calling out to me from the bottom of the tree. So I called back, " Jack, is that you?" There was no response. I climbed down the tree to inspect what called my name, but I couldn't find anything that would've called out to me. But just when I was about to give up, I heard something call to me, "Hey miss?" I looked around, I didn't see anything.

I said "who said that!?". The voice said, "down here miss". I looked down to see a rabbit sitting at my feet. I asked the rabbit,"how are you talking to me?". The rabbit replied, " Well it's actually a pretty long story, but all you need to know for now is that I'm actually a forest spirit, and you can understand me ,and I can understand you". Then she said, "My name is Thorn, and I am the spirit of these woods, and I know who you are, no need for introductions". "You are Shaleigh Jones, you are a city girl, you have only one friend who's name is "Jack leeuw hemel geest"(layoo hamel haste), and you come here to these woods every day after school."

I was amazed, I said "how do you know all this?" Then Thorn brought up another thing from earlier, "do you remember how I said me being able to talk to you, was a very long story?" I said, "well yeah, but what about it?" Thorn replied, "do you remember your pet rabbit that supposedly died?" I said, "yeah, what does this have to do with me being able to understand you?" Then Thorn said, "I'm your rabbit. Your parents and I both knew there was something very odd about you, they kept me for you until you were old enough to know what was going on. If I hadn't of went back to these woods you wouldn't have found out that you were, and still are able to talk to spirits.

"Your eyes", Thorn said. I asked, "what about my eyes?" Thorn said, "your eyes are special. Your galaxy eyes are a sign that you are a half...." I asked impatiently, "I'm a half what?" Thorn replied in a worried tone, " Shayleigh we can't talk now. Somebody's near. Someone's listening. We need to hide some place. Some place safe."
