Hush little baby, don't you cry...

'Welcome, dear child.'

The words continued to appear on her wrist, spilling partway down her arm as if branded there in black ink.

'Those who enter the Hushwood do not leave it. Those who try do not survive it. Reach the center as swiftly as you can, else you shall die.

'There are three things you must remember in order to survive. First, destroy the mirrors. Second, never go near the Child Prisoner. And third, keep the girl in the library alive.'

Project: Sunshine  by shr00fles
65 parts Complete Mature
Original Draft, not the rewrite - lowkey sucks in comparison, don't recommend this version lol wait for the new one | What does society choose to do when children start being born with magic powers? Throw them into a prison of course! That fixes everything. Except it doesn't. In fact, it makes things worse. When young girl, Stella Rophur hears about Project Sunshine, Stella went from keeping her secrets away from just people at school to keeping it from the entire world. The Sunshine Project didn't just bring darkness and strip kids away from having a proper childhood, it actually did bring some light into peoples lives. Stella never had many friends as a kid, she wasn't a very social child, but being at the prison and meeting kids just like her made it easier. It doesn't end there, more secrets about the program and just where these mutations came from are uncovered. Bringing out more darkness and light, Moonlight and Sunshine. Read on to see just how Stella's story unfolds... ~ "Who are you?" Stella asked, staring at the girl with the uncanny grin and red horns sticking out of her head. "I'm anything and everything... The only limit is fear." Stella woke up in a cold sweat, flicking on the lamp beside her bed. She ran a hand through her light blue hair, catching her breath. "Who was that girl? Why was she in my dream?" Stella thought to herself, dreams had meaning didn't they? There had to be some sense to Stella's dream, maybe Stella would find out if she had another dream. "I wonder if she has powers too, she looks like it. I'm not really sure if I want to find out, that was freaky."
