Once upon a time there was a young boy with the age of eight. He lived with his parents and his name was James.James woke up bright and early because it was his birthday and he was anxious to see what his parents had in mind for the upcoming event. He runs down the stairs of his two story house and finds his parents making breakfast. He then says good morning and starts blabbing his mouth about what he wanted and what seemed to intrest him most was the idea of getting a hoverboard. So his parents set on their quest to get one for James. They tried a ton of stores and none of them had a good enough deal. They drove around the area and found a sign that said there was a hoverboard for twenty dollars. There was a that lead to the forest and James's parents wanted to check the place out. As they pulled up their car, they saw a shed. It looked like an old one that hadn't been used in such along time. Together, the family walked in and behind the counter was an old man.

Remi has always loved the forest, the different sounds, smells, the way she could get lost in it and never have to go home to her non-existent parents. She goes in and out of her life with her best friend everyday just waiting until they're both old enough to leave their small boring town. But one day Remi is attacked, and nearly killed, by a man in the forest. When she wakes up everything's different. She feels something inside her, a power, but she has no idea what happened to her. All she remembers is the man's strange yellow eyes. When three new boys show up at her school, one with yellow eyes, asking her question she gets nervous. And then one night while heading to go get her friend she's taken and thrown into a world she didn't know existed. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Remi?" Jen says suddenly. "Hmm?" I hum back. "Do you ever wish you could just live in the forest? Away from everyone and everything?" She looks at me. "Free." We stare at each other for a long time. I see the real meaning in Jen's eyes. Her worries for going home to her overly strict parents. Her fears for the future and the unknown in general. "If we lived in the forest we wouldn't have gummy bears any more." I comment to lighten the mood. She doesn't find it funny. "I'm serious Remi! What if we did run away?" "Jen, we can't just run away. I know your parents are strict but I truly think they just want what's best for you." She says nothing. For a moment I fear she's mad at me but then she puts her head on my shoulder and I know we're okay.
