Lúthwen, Aelion, and Fran walked through the thick brush of the forest. They walked silently, not wanting to disturb each other. Lúthwen touched the trees and the leaves whenever she could. Every time she would touch one of them, a small glitter of magic came out of her fingertips and onto the bark or leaf. Fran stopped and pointed to their right and told them, "We go this way now." He walked into the thick trees and they followed after him. The forest got thinner and thinner until they came to the village. From where they were they could now see what made the village look shiny; it was the water around it. This village was built in the middle of a great lake. Even with its high walls you could still see the govenors palace peeking over …show more content…
I thought this would happen." Aelion came on the other side of him, "Does anyone know what we are?" "Are they afraid of us?" Lúthwen also asked. "No," Fran said looking ahead, "most of the people that remember elves have either left, or have died. I do believe they are afraid, but only because they've never seen creatures like you." "Is there anyone that would happen to remember us?" Lúthwen asked. Fran looked around and said, "Yes, there is at least one." He nodded toward a house at the end of the street. "Follow me." Lúthwen and Aelion followed Fran down the long, winding, street to a two story house. It was an old house with small square windows, an old chimney in the back, and on the second story there was a balcany. Lúthwen noticed that none of the other houses had …show more content…
"Grandma Selia? You in there?" There was no answer, so Fran knocked again and the door creaked open. Fran looked back at Lúthwen and Aelion and motioned them to come inside. When they were inside Fran told them that an old sorceress named Selia Comerta lives in this house. He told them that she was the one that might remember elves. He also said that she was here when they first built and started this village, so she might remember some of the first encounters with certain creatures. He told them to stay in the living room while he went to go find Selia. Lúthwen and Aelion sat on a short couch in the middle of the room. The room was a big room shaped in a square. On the far side wall there was a big fireplace with a mirror over it. There was a small fire in it. There were pictures of different people on the walls all around them. They heard someone coming down the stairs and got up quickly. They saw Fran, leading an old lady, come around the corner. The old lady was no taller than Fran's shoulder. She stood up straight and had on an old red and brown ruffled dress. Her face was kind with her soft, deep set eyes, her small thin mouth, and her wrinkles made her look kind and wise. Her grey hair, pinned up and curly, shaped her face perfectly. She smiled when she saw them and a look of rejoiced recognition spread across her
The house had an unusual smell to it that Bryan couldn’t quite his finger on it. Miguel had never minded any of the people in the village had always believed the story ever since they were a young child, but there showed no evidence of this so called “Witch”. old lady on the corner of Babylan St. because he always knew it was just a folktale,so they wouldn’t go into a stranger 's house.
Caleb walk in front of the group and asked everyone individually, “ let's take a vote to go in the forest or to head back the way we came” they took the vote and going through the forest won so they started off into the forest and Daniel hesitated but walked in,afraid of being left alone at the mouth of the forest. The
Quietly, they walked towards the sound. They came up on an old hollowed out tree, peeked in the hole and there was Brodie. Curled up and crying.
I frown. “We need to start moving. Lead the way to the alleyway, heading west. You know this building the
While walking in the woods they passed across a dark and gloomy house with all the windows
The first thing he noticed was that it was even darker in there than outside. The dense foliage blocked out any light that could have come through by the moon and stars. Growls and rustling were the only way to know that he wasn’t the only living thing in this forest. He continued on, ignoring the pain in his leg, the pain in his heart. He continued on, until he reached the heart of the forest.
He waited until everyone was out of the room, before he started for the door as well. He quickly walked down the hallway, his head down trying not to come face to face with anyone. He finally came to the courtyard and walked up to a tree that was a far away distance from where everyone else was. He let out along sigh as he slid down the tree. He closed his eyes, relaxed.

Tartan and Teddy went back to their hotel to rest. Abigail and Dave told them that they found a beautiful place to have a picnic. Later that evening Abigail, Dave, Teddy, and Tartan walked over to Set’s Cliff, at least that’s what the locals called it. Teddy and Tartan were astonished by how beautiful it was. The lake near it was as clear as a crystal, and the sky shimmered a bold red.
They were passing a magnificent antebellum mansion on the left. A deep-buried memory hovered on the edge of consciousness just out of reach. She knew this house, but how. Something wasn’t right. It shouldn’t be here. It belonged further down the street. She could visualize a large crystal chandelier above a glossy wooden floor with the rugs and furniture removed to make ample room for their guests to
So, I move, going through this fantasy forest that put the forests on earth to shame. I go towards the
In the corner of the room, an old lady was slouched on a cracked, olive upholstered chair. A man gripped her veiny hand and softly patted her back. She appeared to suffer from a vigorous cough, which originated deep in her chest. Delicate curls framed her fragile face as hair was neatly swept to one side. A double string of ivory pearls swooped around her neck, landing in the lull of her collarbone. Vintage black eyeglasses were diligently balancing on the bridge of her crinkly nose. The wrinkles that adorned her face were indicative of many years lived and with each cough, they furrowed. She wore a knitted rose cardigan over what appeared to be a light blue night gown. It was evident that she had been rushed to the hospital as she was still wearing her fucia puffy slippers.
The trees around them were larger than any Eve had ever seen before, with thick branches and boughs that hung low to the ground, forming a small hideaway beneath them. It was past the boughs of one tree that she was led.
The house was over the trees between them and the hills, catching glimpses of the roofs, perhaps a tower, of Hill House. They put
Dream Fianna turned. “You should have. You missed the witch thing. This is part of what you need to understand.”
