Willow Grace

It was midsummer's eve in the little town of Enna. Usually there would be a huge celebration where lots of people came,danced,sang and just had fun.This year it was far from that.
Everwhere you looked the once beautiful town, was covered in a thick layer of white snow. The sky was storm grey and howling windsm swept through blowing flowers by there roots and bins of the ground,
Where people had once filed the many narrow allys and corners,were empty. The overflowing streets were unusually quiet and the loud strange noises were no more.
The houses stood in many rows, side by side. They were all trying to wall the town from harm. The middle of the village was a beautiful old tree. It was so large that if you stood on two houses stacked on top of eachother could reach the top. This tree seemed immune to the horrible weather. It as the only thing in the entire town that did not seem white or rotted. It was like it had always been. The tree was home to many birds who had come for shelter and the folage seemed as geen as ever. The only problem was there was not one flower blossiming one it. The tree usually blossomed even in the worst of winters so that was a symbol that it's power was weaking.
In the house closest to the tree was a girl who was staring out of her long bedroom window. She was sitting on her bed with a sad look on her beautiful face. Her light brown hair that was usually combed was in notts as though she had only woken up now.
"Willow! Come down stairs and explain this to me!!" yelled a women voice. The girl with the tangled hair go of her bed and walked to the door. She lazily oppened it and walked down the beautiful staircase.
At the bottom was a women with blonde hair tied in a bun and sparkling hazel eyes. She had glasses on her pointed nose and was holding a letter in her log fingered hand.
"What is the meaning of this young lady?" the women asked with a hand on her hip.
"What?" asked the girl rubbing her eyes. Then she suddenly looked alert when she saw the letter in the womens hand."If its about the cat, Jack told me to do it.."
"What cat? Its about that girl in school! What did you do to her Willow? You've got 6 weeks of detention! Wait till I tell your Aunt She'll blow her top! And we can talk about this cat later.."
"You mean Crystal? She's evil!" Willow protested.
"Yes, Crystal! What did you do to her?"
"Nothing Rose!" said Willow. Rose looked at her cautiously.
"Are you sure?"
"Nothing! Well..Jack and I did kind of trip her over and she hurt her leg.."
"Jack! I should of known! That boy is a bad example Willow. And what did that poor girl do to you?" asked Rose.
"Jack is fine and Crystal is evil Rose! She broke my wrist and made my entire primary years hell!"
"Jack is not fine! Revenge is not sweeft dear. Come on..Aunt Sophia doesn't know yet..she will be angry if I tell her so if you do anything bad,one wrong move then you will find that she know everything.." threatened Rose.
"Okay..may I have breakfast now?"
"At 12:47! Just because it is the holidays, doesn't mean you can be lazy Dear! What would your mother say?"
"I don't know since i've never known her!" said Willow then walked away. She went to the dining hall and looked out the window again. To her suprise, a boy with messy brown hair and green eyes was making funny faces against it. Willow laughed and went to open it.
"Hey Jack, what are you doing?" Willow asked her friend. Jack jumped through the window leaving snow on the polished marble floor.
"Whoops, i'll clean it up. Did you get a letter home? School holidays and we still get in trouble for being out of school! Seriously! Mum went ballastic but dad just stood there and laughed.Good old dad!" said Jack with a smile.
"6 weeks! What about the time she broke my wrist? We get 6 weeks of detention just for scratching her and she gets a warning for braking my wrist!Its not fair!" Willow said in disbelief. Then they went on talking about how unfair it was and how they should only get a warning to. They didn't realise that it was 1:00 until Rose came in the hall to see if Willow had eaten breakfast yet. She told Jack of and made him clean the floor.
"Hey, Elora's coming back on the 15th! We can fianlly talk to her!" said Jack after Rose had gone. Willow smiled. Elora was Jack and her life long friend who ahd moved away when she was 8 to live in large city. They had not heard or talked to her since then.
"She's smart, maybe she'll know why the weather is all weird!" said Willow hopefully. Jack nodded and started scrubing the floor all over again.
"Um.. Lady Grace, My Lady is calling you.." said a timid voice. Jack and Willow turned around to see a 10 year old boy with dark hair looking at them.
"Okay Sam..Jack i'll be back." said Willow and ran back up the stairs. She walked down the corridor and opened the second door to the right. It was a rather large study with a fireplace and 2 tall bookshelves. In a large armchair sat a smirking women with white blonde hair.
Aunt Sophia, Willow thought.
"Hello Auntie Sophie" said Willow in disgust to the name Sophia made her call her.
"Willow.I have been informed by Sarah that Lady Scarlet and her daughter are coming to visit.They will be staying at our house. Will it be okay if Elora shares a room with you?" asked Aunt Sophia in a mocking voice. She stared at her bright blue eyes. The exact same as Willow an her mothers.
"Yes Auntie Sophie." answered Willow in a mannerly fashion.
"Good..you may go now." said Sophia. She raised her wrist and flicked it, gesturing that Willow leave.
Willow was happy to leave. She walk out of the room with a smile on her face.

When she cam back down stairs, Jack asked why she was smiling.
"Ele's staying in my room." Willow said happily. Jack looked at her with a evil grin.
"You Lucky girl." he said, "Willow Grace."
