I have been living in Arcadia for all my life, and never have I thought that the town was the place for supernatural. That was until I started hanging out with Jim Lake.

Now, you must be thinking that I hang out with him cause I got nothing better to do. That's not the case, I started hanging out with him because he noticed how I'm always alone at school. He insisted that I should hang with them.

You maybe wondering why I'm always alone. Well my Mother passed away after she had me. She was too weak to finish the delivery, and her heart failed.

My father has never been the same after her passing. He was always depressed, but when I was five he started to hang out with his "buddies", they would beat me up till I bleed.

I ran away from my dad at the age of six and that's when I met Claire and her family. They learned of what my father had done to me and they put him in jail. My father lost custody of me and the Nunèz family adopted me.

That was nine years ago, though.

President Day:

I was sitting in my room, thinking about Jim. Wondering what is his deal? Why is he being weird about everything. Like the time when he did his presentation from home and he was, what looked to be a gnome attacking him?

So many things happened and I need answers.

I then heard someone on the roof. Then a knock on my window.

“Jim?!” I ran over and opened the window.

“Rose, open the window!”  Jim kept knocking on the window.

“What are you doing?” I said as Jim clambered into my room.

“We gotta leave.They're coming for you.” He said urgently.

“Who's coming? Why were you on my roof?” I asked in hast.

“I don't have time to explain. You just have to trust me. You're in danger.” Jim said as he kept trying to get me to go with him.

“Don't touch me! I don't want you near me!” I said as I made sure that he doesn't touch me, since I am still dealing with the scars on my arms.

“Okay, how do I say this? Your brother has been switched with a changeling, but now, goblins are after you because of something he did, and now, I'm here to save you.” Jim explained.

I so didn’t have time for his shenanigans, even if he is my friend. I knew he was skipping out on the play that were in and other stuff, but this, this is too much.

“I always suspected there was something different about you. And now, I know. You're crazy!” I yelp in annoyance.

“I know. I know, look. I-I know it sounds insane, but I can prove it to you. Okay, I'm the Trollhunter. This amulet gives me mystical powers.” Jim said. I crossed my arms over my chest and rolled my eyes.

“Seriously?” I asked, knowing this was a hoax.

“Stand back. For the glory of Merlin, Daylight is mine to command.” Jim chanted. I just stood there watching him make a fool of himself.

“I'm glad I stood back.” I said, since nothing happened.

“For the glory of Merlin… Oh, come on! Why isn't it working? For the glory of Merlin…” He was trying to make the so called mystical amulet work.

“Shh! Keep your voice down! I'm not supposed to have boys in my room, especially you!” I said, and just then we heard what seemed to be footsteps on the roof.
