If you gaze into the deep, The nightmares ever haunt your sleep The child that is foolish and brave, The Thicket ensnares, entraps, enslaves. Draw away from all that is dark and cold, Curious children never grow old. ~ All the children in Claervone knew the nursery rhyme and every Claer heeded it's warning. Each family knew someone who had been lost to the Thicket; every family had their own story with the same ending. No one who entered the dark forest encroaching the boarders of Claervone was ever seen again. Until one Remembrance Day, a Claer girl toddled out from the Thicket during the Mourning Ceremony and took a nap on the altar. No one knew, as they watched the angelic child sleep, that she would grow up to change their world forever.

She slips, she falls day by day, closer to the endless edge where only a strand helps her. She cuts herself, looking at the crimson blood in tears, but nobody sees why. Everyday they ask and she won't answer, because the fear in her heart is too deep. But she has a secret that she never told anyone. Her parents talked to her about it before they died. When the bully that owns her finds out that a dark secret is hidden in this lonely, poor girl's soul, she torments her day by night to get the answer she desperately wants to ruin her life. Day by day, year by year she hears people tell that lonely girl that if she doesn't commit suicide, they'll kill her. She can't do anything about the way her life is, until she finds who she really is. Welcome to Erin's life...
