The two girls frequently meet in the forest near Violets village. One day though the two are discovered by a girl from the village Violet lives in. Will this girl inform the other villagers of Violets secret? Or will she have mercy on both of their souls? Authors note: This was a small assingment from my creative writing class last semster.

Death is inevitable, looming over many. In the kingdom of Trenid, death is common, poverty reigning supreme over the scared general public. Even the rich is unable to be free of it, for death claims in many ways. Illness, assassination attempts, and simple accidents overtake many. But perhaps death can help some in the trying times. With a life full of tragedy, death's prescience rarely leaves Alexandra. With her uncle dying, she can expect one decent thing in her life: his fortune. But luck has yet to loom over her as death does, as information pertaining to who will receive the money has yet to be divulged. And what's worse? There is another person up to get the fortune. But no matter how much he insists that he will receive it, she will not let it happen. Luck will loom over her, she is sure of it.

Written originally as a personal piece of inspiration has grown into a battle cry in order to combat every writer's nemesis: The Block 'Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias as it fell was 'Oh no, not again.'' - THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY by Douglas Adams

Tessandale forest has been dubbed "haunted" for as long as I can remember. Whenever I ask about it, people act like they never heard me. All I know is that anyone that goes in that forest never comes out. It's strange. The entire town is strange. I've been researching this place since middle school, but everything I have is conspiracy theories and plain guesses. The people here are hiding something, and I'm going to find out what.

You've heard of the Warriors before, through poems read to you at bedtime. You've thought of their merry old souls, and their fear of spiders, or how nimble they must be to jump over CandleSticks. And of course, you know of their great leader Mother Goose. But do you know of the Protectors? The ones who were tasked with protecting a Child from the Enemy, while the Warriors fought the great and terrible Fears? I didn't believe you had. Join me as I edit the second draft of my first fantasy novel, Theodore BomDom and learn that size is so very very important.
