8 Years Ago


Under the willow tree, Marnie sat alone. For days and days, weeks and weeks, Marnie sat alone, with only the company of her books. She favored one book above all, a story of romance and witchcraft, cheating and deception.
The story had no name, it was simple blank on the cover and along the spine. It seemed to grow longer and longer everyday; for every two pages Marnie read, another five seemed to be added. This was no issue for the small girl, she adored read and nothing better to do. 
No children lived near Marnie's family's small farm house. A couple miles down the road lived a widowed old woman, Emmilia, and her daughter, Jolie. Marnie didn't really mind the lack of nieghbors, as she had seven brothers and a sister. Her oldest brother was John, then her sister Kassidie, followed by Luke, Nathaniel, Allen, Rory, Nike, and Everest. Nike was her twin, and they were the only children to have gotten their mother's light brown hair and nearly golden brown eyes. The rest of her siblings were mini versions of her father. Sunset orange hair, complemented with deep blue eyes and a dust of freckles.
