Chapter 1

Rain poured down powerfully in the night, soaking the streets of a small town called Spiritscreek. A little girl about seven years old sat all alone on a pile of newspapers, leaning against a house wall. The girl had a sky blue night-gown on which was drenched by rain. Her arms, her legs, and her right eye were bandaged carefully. Her hair was light brown and her visible eye was amethyst colored. She hugged a worn out rabbit doll tightly, trying to keep warm. Lightning thundered fiercely frightening her. She gasped and quickly began running wanting a roof to stay under. She searched for a house whose light was on but found none.
Finally she exited the town perimeter and came to the outskirts but the poor girl was exhausted. As she drew closer a cliff side and a small inn came into sight. Seeing that the roof of the house was sticking out she went for it. She walked under onto the porch and sat under the roof, but she began to cry out fear and cold. A light snapped on inside the house and a woman opened the door.
The seven year old looked up from her hands sniffing. A little girl the same age as her, seemingly the women's daughter, came from behind her staring in curiosity.
The brunette girl got up and stood in front the women who smiled warmly and widened the door for her. The woman's daughter crept from behind her and smiled encouragingly holding out her small hand.
The girl carefully took her hand, "My name's Lilia. What's youws?" the daughter asked, unable to pronounce her Rs'.
The little girl quietly answered "Crystal"
