"Taking for granted the world she knew she left behind those who loved her true."

Emma's adventure into the unknown would guide her to a place of personal discovery. Everyone needs someone to talk to, to share their heart, fears, and dreams with. Especially when life does not go as smoothly as you would like it to go.

We all have good days and bad days. Do you ever have one of those days when everything seems to go wrong? Well, for Emma, this was one of those days, leading Emma towards making a momentous decision.

Emma's family life was changing, and she did not like it. Her dad was not home very much anymore. Her mother was so busy, she had little time to spend with Emma like she once did. She and her brother, Alex were not getting along well and were bickering more often. Emma wished that things were different and that she could turn the clock back to what it was like before. But in our world, we cannot go back in time, can we? All the adults in her life told her so. There is no looking back, only forward. Only, Emma was not so sure. She began to daydream more and more.

Her thoughts wandered toward the forest. There were mysterious things happening out there. She could feel it. Her dad described her feelings as her mystery radar. It was her dad who she usually talked to about her mystery radar though. Although, her mom used to listen to her when she needed to talk, especially if her dad was not around, lately she was way too busy.

Emma wanted to explore the mysterious forest just beyond the apple orchard. She wanted to know what happened out there. Where did the owl go when it flew away into the darkness? Why were there so many rustling sounds in the bushes? How could the trees sway with the wind when their roots reached so far into the ground and their trunks were so stiff and hard? What secrets did the forest hold? Before she fell asleep, Emma came up with a plan. Tomorrow she was going into the forest.
