Chapter 2#

I left the bakery as fast as possible. It’s not vary fun being around a grumpy old guy eight hours every day! I took me about fifteen minuets to get home horse back. “must be a new record!” I thought to myself.

The first thing I saw was My little brother chasing a Sinco around the house. A Sinco is a small cat like creator, with big eyes and a very fluffy coat. I put My horse in the barn. I was just about to enter my nice cozy home well hidden home that sat with in a ledge. When Monim jumped on my back scaring me to the point of a scream! “BOO!” Monim shouted in my ear. Then covered my eyes. “Guess who?” “Who else?” I thought “Monim I’ve told one, I’ve told you a hundred times, DON’T scare me!” “Sorry, I just couldn’t resist!” He said Laughing. “Shouldn’t you be getting home?” I asked. Because as you recall, he doesn’t live with us anymore. “Yes, Miss Bossy, I’m on my way right now.” “I am not bossy!” I said sternly. “Yeah, what ever. Got to go!” He said starting to walk away. “BYE!” I yelled. I he reapplied with a faint “goodbye.” I herd a cry from behind the barn. I ran and found Kevin Sitting with his face in his hands. “What’s wrong Kevin?” I asked. “I can’t catch the Sinco.” He sobbed. I kneeled down beside him. “that’s ok, Sincos are really fast.” I said. “I bet even papa couldn’t catch one!” I said beginning to laugh. “that’s right!” came a third voce. “not even I could catch one.” Said my father. “Papa! Your home!” Kevin exclaimed. “Yes, I came with Monim. Have you seen him?” Papa asked. “yeah, I saw him.” I said rolling my eyes. “He left already.” “Lyah!!” my mother called. “Yes??!!” I replayed. It was silent. Usably when my mother calls me and I answer, and she doesn’t tell me what she wants. That’s a code for ‘Come here’. “Coming!” I called. I got up and went over to our house. I saw my mother washing up something though the window. I entered though the front door. “yes?” I asked. “Where’s your brother?” She asked. “Witch one?” “Kevin.” “OH, he’s over behind the barn with Pa.” “What is he doing behind the barn!?” she asked concurringly. “He’s sad cause he couldn’t catch the Sinco he was chasing.” “Aww.” mother exclaimed. “I’M HOME!” My sister shouted. My mother dropped what she was doing and ran to the door. My sister hasn’t been home for over a week. She has been singing in Grouden, a few cities away. Even so, I always felt my mother lover her more. But we’ll get back to that. “How was your trip?” My mother asked.

“Wonderful!” said Emmeny. “I got a ride all the way there!” She boasted.

“Who?” I asked. “Who what?” She said pretending not to know. “Who gave you a ride!” I said bluntly. “Oh! Just some person.” She said flicking up her eyes. I had heard enough! Then, suddenly I heard to someone knock on the door. “I’ll get it!” I said walking toward the door. “Hello?” I asked. It was my other best friend, Akenin. “hi!” I said again. “what are you doing here?” I asked. “well, I just got off work and was going to go for a ride in the FodleWood, and was wondering if you would like to come?” “I’d love too, but I have to ask my mom. Be right back.” I said. “Hay, mom do you mind if I go for a ride.?” I asked. I decided to leave out where we were going, because I wasn’t exactly allowed to go into the FodleWood. And neither My mother or anyone else in my family new anything about the necklace. Witch, I thought, was for the best. “Fine, as long as your back in time for supper.” she said. ’OK!’ I went back to the front door. “let me just get my horse, and I’ll be ready.” We went to the barn. “Is you sister back?” he asked. “Yes.” I said annoyingly. “why do you say it like that?” he said wondering. “Well, it’s just that…. Every time my sister comes home my mom acts like she ’saved the world’ of something. She never acts like that when I came home.” “Well, your not gone for weeks at a time.” “Even if I was, do you still think she’d treat me like that?” I said giving a point. “I think your only seeing what you want.” he said. “Since when have you been on her side?” I said getting my horse. “I’m not on anyone’s side!” he said. “Yeah, whatever, come on lets go!” I said riding away. “Wait for me!” Akenin yelled trying to catch up. Back at the house, my mom went back to washing up, my sister went up into her room (witch was also my room), My papa and Kevin were walking home. My mom saw them coming toward the house. As soon as they entered the house, my father was smothered with hugs. “your home!” my mother said happily. “yes, I’ve been home for about 20 minuets.” “Where were you?” She asked. “Over behind the barn with Kevin.” he said. “Oh yes, Lyah said something like that.” “Where is she?” he asked. “She said she was going for a ride.”

“Bet you can’t catch me!” I called behind. “Want to bet?!?” Akenin yelled. I looked back and laughed. “What’s so funny?” he asked. I laughed again. “We’ll stop at the spring.” I said in charge. We stopped at the spring. It was a beautiful sight. Flowers, grass, rocks that seemed made to sit on, and a big Tree. I am, and never was sure what kind of tree it was. All I new is that it was big, so big that I two people put their arms around it, their fingers wouldn’t touch. I got off my horse, and led him over to the spring. I had to keep an eye on her because I couldn’t tie her, I always road bare back. I sat on a big rock dipping my feet in the spring. Akenin sat becide me. “isn’t it wonderful?” I asked. “witch part?” “everything! The sight, the smells, the sounds.” “The sounds?” he asked. “Yes, the birds, the bees, the wind, the spring, that slight whistle in the air…” Akenin interpreted me before I could finish. “A whistle sound?” he asked. “yes, I slight whistle in the air. You don’t hear it?” I said in disbelief. And stood up. “No.” “Hmm..” I thought. I sat back down. We spent another twenty minuets talking and walking around. Now it was time to go home. We road, and I beat Akenin as always. “your home finally.” my mother said meeting us at the front door.

“yes we are home.” I said wondering what was wrong. “And where were you exactly?” She asked expectantly. “uhh we..uhhh…were umm….Out.” I said not quite sure what to say. “And where’s ‘out’”? “you where in the FodleWood, weren’t you?” my sister said giving that evil sister grin. I gave her a dirty look. “yes.” I said with a sigh “we went in the wood.” “why would you do that?” my mother asked. “why would you go in that forest after we have told you time, and time again not to!” I mother scolded loudening her voce more and more. “What’s wrong with the forest? I don’t understand why I can’t go into it!” I argued. “It’s dangerous!” my mother yelled. “what about it’s dangerous?” I asked loudly. She gave a sigh. “NO! tell me, if you wont tell me, then I see no problem going into it!” I yelled back. “I think I should go.” Said Akenin shyly. “Ok, I’ll see you tomorrow.” I said in a more quite tone. “bye.” he said as he shut the front door. I turned back around to my mother angrily. “Go to your room.” my mother said in a bellow normal tone. “I can’t believe this!” I said rolling my eyes. I began to walk up the stairs. “why are you giving me attitude?” she asked motherly. “Because! Your telling me I can’t go into the Fodlewood. You tell me it’s dangerous. Yet you wont tell me why!” I yelled almost as loud as I could. But, before she could answerer, I stormed up the rest of the stairs. My father stood silently by the opening to the kitchen. “why won’t she listen to me?” My mother asked him. “She has a point.” he said. “She’s too young, who knows what she would do with that information, and who she could tell.!” She said once again loudening her voce. “She’s more mature then you give her credit for.” he said still maintaining a normal voce. “why are you always on her side? Why can’t you ever back me up?” she asked my father began to speak, but before he could say anything she went into her room witch was just down the hallway. Up in my room……………I entered my with a slam of the door. “someone has a temper problem.” Said Emminy not looking up from the book she was reading. “Why would do that?” I asked frustrated

She shrugged her shoulders. “you don’t know?!?” I asked. “they were going to find out any way.” “I can’t believe you.” I got in bed a pretended to go to leep. A few hours later I got out of bed, when Emminy was asleep in her bed, and went down stairs. I was dark. I managed to find the front door. I grabbed a clock from the hook my the door and went outside. I went over into the barn and lit a candle. Mt hours was asleep so I went and sat in some clean hay. I had just dozed off when I felt a soft touch on my arm. I opened my eyes and saw my father looking down at me. “what are you doing out here?” he asked softly. “Sleeping.” I replied. “Out here?” “I refuse to sleep in the same room as that girl!” I snapped “Hay, there’s not reason to get mad. Although I can see your point.” he said. I giggled. “why does mom get so mad when I go in there?” I asked. “uhh..” “I mean if she’s so worried, then why wont she tell me why?” I asked impatiently. “She has her reasons.” he replied trying to explain. “Reasons? Reasons! What sort or ‘reasons’ can she have that she can’t even tell her own daughter?” I asked. “I know it’s hard to understand, but trust me it’s for the best.” he said. I sighed. “ok.” I said glumly. “now why don’t you come inside where it’s wormer?” he asked. “no, I’m ok, I’m not cold. I’ll see you in the morning.” I said. “ok goodnight.” he said and then began to walk away. “Goodnight!” I replied. I laid there and wondered what could be wrong with a place that’s is so wonderful? I began to doze and fell asleep.
