I don't feel up to bat at all today!! Well anyway I am writing a book called Lynda Jones!! I will give you the first chapter on my blog but I have 8!! So here you go!!
Once there was a young girl who lived in a very peculiar house on a very short street in a very small town. Her name was Lynda Jones and she was just celebrating her 13th birthday. Her long wavy goldenrod hair hung down around her waistline. And her eyes were as blue as the summer sky. Lynda loved to explore the world and all that lived in it.
On one particular day she wanted to go to a wonderful rain forest, with trees, monkeys, bananas and all different kinds of creatures. And outside of the rain forest she wanted to see castles, dragons and swords. Lynda spent many moment through her day thinking about how much she’d love to visit such a place.
While exploring the woods in her backyard Lynda found something strange that she had never noticed before. In a giant, towering oak tree there was a large hole in the base of the trunk. She peered into the hole and could tell right away that it was not an ordinary tree for upon looking down she did not see the bottom of the tree or ground. She saw a light which appeared to be off in a great distance and it seemed to beckon to her.
She once again looked at the outside of the tree. The hole had wonderfully beautiful designs etched into the wood all around it. Lynda saw words written at the top of the hole, saying “Etti arag utum”. Lynda gasped as she held up the heart-shaped gold locket around her neck and turned it over to read those very words inscribed on the back.
The locket had been around her neck for as long as she remembered. Her parents said that she must have been born with it because she was wearing it the day she was placed in a bundled basket on their front porch. But oddly enough neither her parents nor Lynda could ever open the locket even when using all their strength.
Lynda ran inside and packed her backpack because she knew she was going on a fantastic adventure. She packed a first aid kit, bread and other foods, gloves, a jacket, a notepad, a rain jacket and hat and also three rags. She left a note for her parents saying that they needn’t worry and she set off to investigate the hole in the large oak tree.
Lynda peered down into the hole and once again saw the bright light. She decided to climb through the hole which was just large enough for her thin framed body. Lynda was afraid of falling, but soon found herself sliding gently down a golden winding slide, edged with white and red roses. Soon she found herself sitting on soft, mossy ground. She stood up quickly and walked towards an archway where a light was coming from. As she stepped through the archway the smell of water and trees filled the air. Lynda was in awe. The trees were towering taller than her house, through the clouds. There were thick vines hanging down from the trees so that they looked like swings. She soon realized that this was the very rainforest she imagined in her dreams to visit that day.
As Lynda walked on the soft, mossy path she noticed stones on the side of the path. The stones each had different inscriptions which were in the same type of strange language on her locket. As Lynda walked further she noticed three larger stones, each of them with names on them. The largest read “Salron Xavier”. The next largest said “Ellen Xavier”. And the third largest, which was right in the middle, read “Zella Xavier”. For some reason reading the name Zella made Lynda feel strange, as if the name was her own.
She started walking again, when something sharp cut her arm. She turned around to see what had cut her. It was an old sword stuck in a tree. She pulled the sword out with a long, hard tug. The sword had roses etched on the blade. She said “This could come in handy.” She walked over to an old log and sat down on it. She reached into her backpack and grabbed the first aid kit and one of the rags. She walked over to a nearby stream and washed her cut with the water. Then she wrapped her arm with the rag and pinned it with a safety pin.
Suddenly, off in the distance she heard the loud snap of a twig in the forest. Lynda now knew she might not be alone in this beautiful forest.
Hope u Enjoyed it
