"Listen, Mari, I don't want you to ever go outside okay? It's not safe for you out there," I began, "but I especially don't want you to go anywhere near the village,"
"Why not?" Mari asked, tilting her head in confusion.
"The people in the village are not very kind to little girls like you okay?"
"Except you?" Mari questioned holding her brown stuffed teddy bear which her mother made her when she was a baby.
"Except me, so..can you promise me?" I asked, holding out my pinky finger to make a pinky promise.
"Promise," Mari responded happily as she wrapped her small pinky around mine.

Gods I hate this forest, my "HOME". I flipped up off the floor and started running again "You know we can't just let you leave,at least not alive",she responds.Complete
The stranger under the willow tree
On a frigid and blustery October evening, the radiant moon cast its glow upon a solitary willow tree, perched atop a hill. Beneath the tree sat a mysterious man, clutching a large, worn storybook. Suddenly, his gaze was drawn to a child, no more than 10 to 13 years old, wandering aimlessly nearby. With a welcoming gesture, the man motioned the child over to him. "Why are you out here all alone on such a freezing night?" he inquired with concern. The child merely shrugged in response. The man sighed and reached out his hand, offering it to the shivering youngster. Without hesitation, the little boy took hold of the man's hand and they made their way over to the willow tree where a cozy fire was already burning. "Here you are, little one," the man said gently. "Let's get you nice and warm." Seated by the fire, the child's eyes were drawn to the book resting against the tree. With a pointed finger, he indicated his desire for a story. The man smiled kindly. "Well then, let's dive into some tales, shall we?"Complete

The coin that she used as her marker during the game. "You have to keep it. We'll play again soon." Edmond promised. Finch nodded happily. Her smile broadened as she heard Edmond's promise. "I'll be waiting for you Edmond." "I'll come back for you." He vowed.

Of Fairies and Noontime
Hadley Marble is a curious, unladylike, and stubborn 12-year-old girl who loves exploring-and breaking the rules. One day, after climbing the oak tree in her backyard, she finds herself sucked into a portal in the tree's bark and taken to a world where fairies exist-and humans are treated like monsters. Hadley is worried that she may have gone too far this time-that is, until she meets a kindhearted fairy named Ellabelle who introduces Hadley to her friends and the fairy world. Hadley forgets all about getting home by noon and becomes invested in the ultimate game of make believe. She doesn't realize, however, that she is an unwelcome visitor, and there are many dark secrets hidden beneath the glittering surface of Ofan Village. *** Note: This is a story that I may come back to edit from time to time. I wrote it a few years ago, but I wanted to share it. :)Complete
