The Forest next to Apple Wood Road

The air was fresh with sunlight everywhere. The soft light glistened on Sara's blonde hair, as her sharp green eyes shined in the sun. Today was an early dismissal and Sara's parents didn't really want her to be home until later. Usually she would go to the mall or play video games at Game Shop, but today that all seemed boring, not worth it. She sighed, as she began walking on Apple Wood Road. She had always walked on that old dirt path road after school. The forest on the side of that road seemed to call her name. The sunlight had hit it just right, and with the hot weather made it seemed like a perfect day to go for a hike. She ran into the forest with delight.

Sara wasn't even close to dead, but she was pasted out on the cold dirt ground. When she woke up, there was a five inch, to what seem to be a human to her, standing on her chest. Sara was sure the human figure was a girl because of spongy pink dress and her long brown hair. There was some type of crown on her head that made it certain to Sara that she was the leader of these human like figures. In her right hand the girl had a spear with a gemstone ball at the tip.
