Peaceful Thinking... Or not -Open-

[Rhiannon Ellis]

Everyone was acting as though nothing was ever going to be restored again, as though the once beautiful village was going to die, everyone, that is, except for Rhiannon Ellis. She may not be the only one not thinking that way but she was the only one that she knew that thought different. Rhia wasn't worrying that the village may die or turn into a normal village because she always had good thoughts, nothing could change that and she knew that with the right thinking, she could turn this village back to what it was before. She could get rid of the evil that had settled on the village, she could take away all of the pain that had filled the place, even if she had to do it on her own.

The fact that she had no idea how to do it wasn't stopping her, she didn't care about the small minor facts, all she knew was that if she set her mind to it, it would happen. Nobody would see it coming as Rhia was often the quietest in the village, sure she was known by a fair few people as she was a very friendly girl but no one would expect her to help the village, it was too big a job for one person. That wasn't how she thought about it though, it was because of all those reasons that she managed to keep her thoughts on track for what she wanted to do. She wanted to help the town and this was the only way she could do it, no one else would help her but that didn't matter, she didn't need anyone else.

Walking past the peace park she continued on her way to the winged forest and just smiled at the beauty of it. She had never known a forest to be so beautiful, the ones she read about in books all seemed so dark and scary, she just couldn't think of this one turning like that. She was going to make sure it didn't, this village was known to be the best village in the world and she wasn't going to let someone ruin that, she wasn't going to let some evil spirit ruin it either, she was going to save the village if it was the last thing she did. No one was going to stop her, no one in a million years would stop Rhia from turning this place back into it's orginal state, she wouldn't let them!

As she continued through the forest she reached a clearing and sat down on a tree stump, of course, it wasn't just any tree stump. This tree stump had been the first thing she had seen in this forest on her first trip there, it had been the tree stump that she had always come to when things had started to go wrong. When her parents had died she had sat down on the stump and just cried for the whole day. It seemed to help her, it seemed to have a special power that made her feel better for when she went home that night, she didn't cry when she fell asleep, and she didn't have any nightmares in her sleep. That was why she had come to the stump now, everything in the village was going wrong and she needed to do something to change it, by sitting on the stump, she hoped that it would be able to make her think of something.

Jake continued walking after his tree branch incident. He Quickly found a clearing. "Don't I know You?" He asked the person sitting on the tree stump.

[Rhiannon Ellis]

Everything just seemed to be so wrong; nothing ever seemed to go right anymore. Even Desdemona was acting weird and Rhiannon could have sworn she was keeping things from her. That was what hurt Rhia the most really, the two girls were best friends and told each other everything to think that Mona might be keeping secrets from her was heartbreaking. Ok, she was being a bit hypocritical as she, herself, was keeping secrets from Mona but she was keeping them from everyone. If anyone found out that she was planning to save this town, well bad things would happen to her for sure.

Shaking the thoughts away, she let out a sigh, if she didn’t do something soon then nothing would ever be the same for a long time coming and that really wasn’t what she wanted. The whole place, the whole village would slowly go downhill until it turned into a place where no one wanted to live. Until it turned into a village that’s crime rate was above everywhere else. It would be a forgotten place. All the peace that had once been in the village would have been forgotten completely, as though it was never there in the first place. But Rhia could not let that happen to the village that she had grown up in and loved. She wanted people to remember the old times, the good times.

As her thoughts moved around in her brain, she heard footsteps nearby and instantly looked up. If there was one thing that this change had done to the town, it had made everyone more alert and unfortunately for Rhia, that meant her as well. No one knew what would happen if someone came up to them, no one could be certain of who were the people destroying the town and those who were trying to save it. Anything could happen if you came across the wrong people and no body wanted something bad to happen to them. That was why half the people in the town didn’t even leave their houses anymore, or open the door to anyone and Rhia hated it.

When a boy emerged, she looked at him oddly for a moment, trying to sum him up straight away but she found it harder than she should have. He looked innocent but there was something about him that made Rhia think that he was actually one of the people behind this destruction. “I don’t think so” she replied to his words with a soft smile. She didn’t know why she couldn’t work out whom or what he was but she knew that either way it wasn’t good that she didn’t know. “Who are you anyway?”
