Ivy, Angela and Vincent are exploring one day and stumble upon an old abandoned barn. At first they think it's uninhabited, but soon realize somebody has been there. Secrets unfold as an orphan is found to be living in the barn and is the victim of many attempts on his life. Will they be able to find out what the orphan's mother gave to him right before she died? Or will desperate men get to him first?
The first few chapter of this book are kind of corny (thanks Anna!) but I wrote them when I was quite young. This is a work in progress, and the first draft, so there may be some plot holes and the like around. If you like, you can comment on them when you see them. I will endeavor to plug them all up when I am finished! :D

"My mother had warned me about strangers." I looked at her in confusion. "Okay, so?" "So what's your name?" She asked as if a stranger won't be able to say a fake name at all. Smart little kid. "Levi." She nodded. "Levi, hmm." "Now, can we get going, stranger kid?" "Okay," she said and got on my bike. It seemed like she didn't hear what I had called her. I started the bike and rode off. "Wait, did you call me a kid again?" I chuckled. "Took you long enough." ၄၃Complete
