Chapter 1

A harmonic wind soaked the ancient trees, voiding the twigs onto the ground, as well as the golden-brown leaves which soon followed it. Above was the serene light-blue sky full with a blanket of white fluffy clouds washed over the horizon which was peeking in between the trees. I could still remember smelling the herbaceous breeze the grass let out.

I lay on the grass; golden-brown leaves descending on my pale face, the sun capturing the corner of me, and a strand of my chestnut brown hair covering my hazel eye. I could feel the fresh air schlepping over the grass, birds landed on the grass beside me, some soared in the air, while singing melancholic, and jetting tree to tree. I stretched a smile on my face, I loved the atmosphere, it was beautiful. Beginning to put my hands behind my head, I stared at the clouds and day-dreamed meanwhile preparing to close my eyes, and just relax.

It was in the middle of autumn, I was in the park, because I couldn't stand my cousins from Miami bragging about their stupid rich lives. My cousin brothers were two years younger than me, and I didn't have the slightest clue what they were saying, because of their accents. I bet they're talking to my sister now, bragging about their lives yet again. Wait... Am I day-dreaming about them? I couldn't believe it, I cut my eyes and tried to get them out of my head, I felt a bit silly. Even though today was a very stressing day because of them, this place began making me forget about everything. Well, everything apart from my cousins.

I could still remember dashing out of home quickly, so that my cousin brothers couldn't find where I was. It all started at home when I had a cup of cool relaxing apple juice, with my extra tradition, a cherry on the top to finish it. I was in the living room, watching T.V, my favorite program was on, so I didn't want to get disturbed. My cousins came into the same room as me; it was predictable what they were going to say.

"Are you still watching that program?" he asked, lowering down his head and looked a bit closer. "Oh look, he is!" he giggled, whilst snatching the T.V remote of me. "Such a baby program, a 3 year old baby watches this program."

I just wanted to throw a tantrum, but I knew it wasn't the most cleaver thing to do. "I don't care." I growled, while storming out of the living room.

"Where are you going?" he questioned, it was obvious he was going to bother me where I was heading off to.

I stopped, and turned my head back. "Anywhere as long as I'm not close to you!" I answered violently, banging the door when I stormed out.

I couldn't stand them still in my head. I grabbed the grass tightly; grabbing the grass came naturally just thinking about them. They really get on your nerves; I wish I could just--

There was sudden thud coming nearby me. Despite my dulled senses and my weary brain, my ears were still working. However, I thought it was nothing and so I ignored it. The thud mysteriously got louder. I still ignored it; however it was rather weird, was this thud trying to get me attention? Why would someone do something this ridiculous, unless they were my cousins? I sighed, I knew it was them. There was someone whispering my name, coming afar from a tree. I shot up straight, my eyes opening instantly; I was staring around exasperated, I particularly glared the tree it came from. Was it my cousins, how did they find me, unless was it someone else? As I began to stroll towards the tree, my senses immediately tensed, my eyes sharpened, and my heart began to race. Whatever had broken the peace annoyed and even scared me. I gulped while calling my cousins names. There was no answer.

I took my first step or two, there was a sudden snap. I tripped, dropping on the ground like a chainsaw hitting a tree. I shrieked and stumbled back. Looking at what had scared me, I found out it was just a damn stick. I figured that it could come in handy, so I lifted the stick and grabbed it tightly. I gulped once again; I knew I had to face my fears. The cold wind bit me, giving me goosebumps.

I dawdled towards the tree; surprisingly it was the only first tree that didn't have any leaves on. Grasping my stick in my palm; I was beginning to near the tree it came from. When I was at the very last step, I held my stick as tightly as possible, I smacked the tree with force; and turned immediately looking at what was before me. I was gaping in shock, it couldn't be possible. I looked all around the tree, it was nothing. There was nobody there, then how was this possible, was my mind going insane? I looked around again, and could just hear a snigger coming from those perpetual trees in the distance...

Chapter 2

"Wh-- Who's there?" I stuttered while speaking, I wanted to go to the trees, regardless that I didn't have any weapons to attack, except for my vulnerable fists, which I can't throw a accurate strike with.

I walked back slowly; figuring out it was the only wise thing to do. Just thinking of walking towards those trees made my mind wonder everything bad that could happen. I could feel my heart sinking; I took more steps backwards, and began running away as quick as my legs could carry me.

I dare look back. I tried sprinting faster in the park's grass, it was thick thus difficult to tread on. I kept my eyes forwards to the exit of the park; I didn't want to get lead astray.

Still running, I dived my head into this man body. He stumbled a little, and dropped down a little. I lingered whilst my head was on the man's chest, my nose could smell the aftershave that the man was wearing.

I quickly pounced backwards, "oh, sorry!" I said, the last thing I wanted is to have trouble. I gave a stare at the man; he was wearing black dungarees, with a white french cuff shirt. He obviously looked smart, the type of person who their lives following their job careers earning money.

"Hello, there." The man said in a deep voice. He was going to do something to me, I knew it.

"Sorry," I repeated myself, while taking a step back.

"It looks like you've just seen a ghost," he popped a smile and chuckled. I inhaled heavily in and then out, I knew for sure he was going to do something. I glanced at his smile, It looked familiar, it was like I have seen it before.

"I better be off now." I said, running away quickly, so that he didn't have a chance to reply.

I was near to the park's gate, meaning my house was just over the road. I couldn't wait to get home, and start the arguments again. I gave a gentle push onto fragile gates, the gates were ancient, the park had the same gates for years.

I stepped up onto the pavement, and crossed over the road, despite that I was miles away from that activity; I still prevented myself from looking back. I sighed, I was in front of my home, at least being at home with my snobby cousins is better than being in the park. I strolled towards home, taking as much time as possible, and knocked at the door. It was most predictable who was going to open.

I waited patiently, nobody opened the door, and so I knocked on the door again, and waited.

"Where have you been?" Mum grabbing my arm and dragged me in.

I didn't answer, and darted upstairs in my room. I dug my head on my pillow, I didn't even wanted to think of my cousins.
