Chapter one.
I sighed. I couldnt stand it in this house anymore. I got dressed and stood in front of the mirror. i was wearing a pair of skiny jeans, a pair of dark brown Uggs, a light blue hoodie, a dark blue down vest, A pink, blue, and yellow knit hat with a matching scarf and pair of mittens. I had my silver hawk necklace on and my charm braclet, witch had a bird, rose, a key, and a heart with a lock in it. This is what you have to wear on the beging of March saturday in Conneticet. Cold, cold, and more cold. I'm really jealos of my best freind, who just moved to California.
"Dad! i'm going for a walk!" i shouted into the empty house as i walked out. It was still in moring for my Mom. She had died in a reacent car crash when we were driving home from my dance classes(ballet, jazz, contemperary, tap, and even theater). it was a drunk driver who hit her head on in the middle of an intersecion. she died on impact, and I now have a three inch scar on my left leg.
I shivered at the memory and walked on through our back yardand to the gate that led to the redpine forest. I called it the magic forest, because it alwase had something growing in it. And the trees are huge! They can easily outgrow hundreds and hundreds of feet tall, with huge plumes of leaves.
i had been walking peacfull through the forest when i saw a clearing up ahead with a deer laying down in the middle. wait, it had an arow sticking out of its stomach. Oh. My. God. someone had killed this deer, and they used an arow! Then i heard some rustiling on the other side of the clearing, and duked behind a tree, peaking around its side. out of the bushes came four girls, all wearing silver dresses that came just passed there knees, long, flowy darc blue clockes, boots that looked like UGGs, only had a tighter fight around the leg and like they were made out of fur,and weird darc brown arm bands that looked like gloves only without hands and thicker. they all had silver quivers around there backs and silver bows in there hands. My eyes widened, and I took a step back, but my boot crunched over some twigs. There heads shot up, and i turned around to run. I hadn't gone very far when an arow suddenly sproted from the ground in front of me. i tripped, and next thing i know a girl has her kneee on my ribs and one hand on my neck. She isn't choking me, just putting presser. The other three catch up, and they all croudaround.
"What are you doing in this forest?" the girl on top of me demanded.
"I think I can go for a walk without being jumped, can't I?" I souned anouyed, but I was. I had seen my Mom die three weeks ago, and mow they jump me. It was just getting anouying!
"Come on, Clio, get off of her. I dont think she was doing anything." the girl to my right put a hand on Clio's shoulder. clio looked at her, then at me and reluctatly got of. i sat up and lookd at them all in turn.
"Why are you wearing that?" i wrinkeled my noise." Its freazing out here and your wearing dresses?"
" We stay warm in Artemis's protection" The girl who ha gotten Clio of of me said. She offered me a hand and helped me up." Now why were you in the forest?"
"I was taking a break of my horrible life. What do you mean by Artemis?"
"The greek goddess of the moon and the hunt. Wear her hunters." One of them siad. "They still exist, just changing form as the western sivilisation goes by."
"the western sivilisation?" I didn't know weather these girls were crazy of telling the truth. They had the clothes, the bow and arrows, and they looked like it.
"Yeah. the strongest civilisation, something like that. Now, we are going to have you to tell us about your life." the last one said. So I did. Friom my ealiest memories, up till my Mom dying. Clio nodded with sympathy, and looked at the other girls like they were making a decision.
"lets take you to camp." one finally said.
