The Outcasts of The Woods

Prologue

April XX, 1XXX

There was a little orphan girl with a white long-sleeved ruffled dress sitting under the tree peacefully and gently patting the big spider on her hand then, "Hey bug freak!" The little girl looked at the kids going towards her, she carefully puts the spider back on the tree bark and looks at them.

"I have a name and it's Allison-"

"We can call you whatever we want" the boy said.

"Why do you three always call me that?" little Allison stands up and looks at the three bullies.

"It's because you always play with those disgusting bugs" the girl beside the boy crosses her arms.

"They are not disgusting and don't you dare call them that Mary" she glares at Mary.

"What are you going to do bug freak? Fight us? you're weak like those tiny insects" the other boy said and goes to her then pushes her down, Allison fell on the ground and let out an 'oof'

The three bullies laughed at her, Mary goes to her and said "you're weak, easy to get squished like those tiny bugs-"

"Shut up! I'm not weak! " she yelled at them.

"How dare you yell at us! Zoricus teach her a lesson!"

Zoricus goes towards her but then...

The bell starts ringing from the orphanage.

Then, Zoricus stopped in his tracks and looks at the orphanage "it's lunch..."

Mary looked at Allison and said "you're lucky the bell rang you filthy bug freak, we'll deal with you later" then the three walked away.

Allison gets up and dusts herself off "What have I ever done to you three..." she mumbles quietly.

Young Allison sneakily goes to the kitchen and looks around to make sure no one else is around, she quietly walks in the kitchen and starts looking for the basket.

"looking for the basket again? "a woman's voice appeared behind young Allison.

Allison flinched and turns around then looks at the woman "Y-yes Ms. Yin I just wanted to borrow-" the woman gives the basket to Allison and pats her head.

"Come find me next time if you want to borrow the basket alright?" Ms. Yin smiled softly at the young girl.

"Yes, miss" she replied and shyly takes the basket from the woman.

"What are you going to do with the basket?"

"Well... I wanted to get apples for myself" she replied.

"Alright but, don't take too long to come back" Ms. Yin leaves the kitchen and back to the dining area.

Young Allison uses the back door and skedaddles to the forest to look for red apples.

----

The pleasant sound of the singing birds chirps in the forest and the ray of sunlight shines through the leaves of the trees. Young Allison walks around the forest, holding the basket the women gave her. She looked around to see if she can find apples but she couldn't find any so she walks deeper into the forest and despite the warnings of the other older women told her not to go deep into the forest, Her curiosity grows why they told her not to go deep in the forest.

Time skip and she's already deep in the forest, she was about to give up until she sees a healthy fresh apple on a tree in the distance.

"Apples!" the girl runs towards the apple tree, she looks at the bright red apples and tries to reach for the apple but, her height is way too small, and unable to reach for the apple.
