August 19XX, in the small town of Marina, lived a young girl. The girl lived with her parents at their manor that was located in the Forest of SlenderWood. Her manor was isolated and there was only one path to her house. Her name was Sarah Rose, she had a fragile body. She used to live in the city but her parents decided to move to this small town and build the manor in the forest so that their daughter can live in a healthy environment.
However, her parents forbade her to leave the house as they wanted to make sure that she stays in a healthy environment and wait that her body gets used to the air. Sarah never went against her parents, she knew that all they did was for her well-being. She would listen to her parents and do anything they told her to, just like a doll. Since she couldn't leave the house, she would get visits by a private tutor for her education. Since she never left the house, she didn't have any friend, except for her doll whom she will play with and talk to every day.
One day, a young man found the manor, he seemed to be lost from walking in the woods. Sarah looked at him from the window. The young man noticed that there is someone in the house, he gets closer and walk towards the door. Sarah tells her mom that someone is at the door. Sarah's mom opened the door to the young lad. He seemed to be about the same age as Sarah.
Young man: "Hello Miss, sorry to bother you but I got lost in the woods and suddenly got in front of your house."
Sarah's mom: "It's okay Young man, what is your name?"
Young man: "The name's Billy."
Sarah's mom: "Nice to meet you, I'm Mrs. Rose, and this is my daughter, Sarah."
