• [Chapter 1./b]






    the briery was part of the Malory clan...and Evelyn was the third daughter in line her two older sisters were in first grabs for men and not many looked her way, her oldest sis Tia was 23 yrs old, with blond locks and a body that had men druelin wherever she went.. the second sis was 21 and red blonder hair that fell straight and true to her mid back.

    me I'm 19 yrs old and around 5'2 with bland brown mousy hair and long legs that were to curvy for my taste. red hair that got tangled too much and long curls that make me cringe when my maid combed it. i have green eyes that look (to me) unpleasantly like the Cheshire cats. but most of all I'm shy and quiet... probably due to my parents constant tongue lashing from being the ugly duckling of the family... i have a secret that i will only share with u my friend so listen close its not a pretty tail.

    the tree was off limits since i saw a very poisonous looking viper clinging to the lower branch of the cypress tree next to me and kept running...but in the direction of the house...i heard a loud crunch from about 2 ft behind me...terror took over and as i glanced back i ran face first into a tree.. knocked myself silly as my brain fogged from the impact...i started having memories of all the recent stories that i heard and brushed off from the gossiping servants about a great large animal that stalks our forest i thought it was just a stupid tail the servants always speak nonsense about witches and such, very superstitious...although now it didn't seem so silly or superstitious. my head started pounding like a freight train as i tried to pick myself up and keep running as i gained my footing and thinking the dizziness was passing i heard another crack of branch and a loud thudding like a monster was coming near... i was so freaking scared that i froze in the half hunched over pose from standing and scanned the area with wide open eyes hoping the moon would show the perpetrator thudding... the area didn't make a shadow, so i hoped it was just my imagination and started trotting to the house again, then stopped trying to decipher if i was still heading in the right direction.
