1 Chapter One:Voice

"Find the dagger" the mysterious voice spoke. "Find it on hills of the dead. Break the stone. Find it child, on the day you grieve. Beware the guardians."

I woke instantly wondering who's voice that was and why it wants me to find a dagger. I put on my favorite clothes-a plain black t-shirt,a blood red hoodie,a pair of jean shorts with black leggings and red combat boots. The final piece of my ensemble was a charm bracelet my dad gave me when I was little. However, the only charm I had was a bat. Father said "You will get more charms when you meet the others." I always wondered what he meant,maybe his words and my dreams were connected.

I was pulled out of my thoughts by my mother calling my name "Crimson, could you go out,I need more moon deer blood for dinner and some red apples!"

"Yes,Mom!" My mother named me Crimson because my eyes are red. I do all the hunting and gathering because my father and brother were brutally murdered. The sheriff said their bodies were hanging from the trees and were burnt to a crisp,in the dark forest. You would think, that would make me want to stay away from it but no, I still loved the forest.

As I grabbed my bow, a quiver of arrows and a basket my mother called to me "Remember stay away from Sacrifice Hill, it's too dangerous." I replied and set off to the woods. As I walked, I tried to avoid the people- they always thought I was here to end the world or something. However, I did find it strange that there were new people in town. They were wearing weird hoodies that had a picture of a a black crystal ball with green smoke swirling around. Maybe they were a gang-not unusual in a town like SombersVille.

Finally I made it to the woods and started my search for moon deer. Time passed for what seemed like hours and still no deer. But I did see a peculiar looking stranger. He was standing there doing nothing and it seemed like he was transparent. I readied my bow trying to get the most perfect aim.

"Drop the weapon. If you try to fight me, it would be useless. I could kill you before you could scream." He warned. His voice was so perfect I had trouble focusing. "Who are you?" I asked a little less scary then I planned. He turned around. "My name is Gray, and you are?"

His voice was so amazing, it sent shivers up my spine while still sending so much warmth through me. I lowered my bow, "Crimson."

"Nice name." He said. And then I felt a strange weight in my wrist. I looked down only to see a new charm.....it was a ghost.
