The weeping willow, Hallie Harvey [reading comprehension books txt] 📗

I lay in a field thinking over my life and how bad its gotten since The death. No not a real death my death the death of my soul you ask yourself what this means it means i am as good as dead. I walk around silent as if my lips have been sewn together. My mother asks me "What's wrong?" i look at her with death in my eyes i say nothing but words are not needed she knows my thoughts. I replay this sceane in my head over and over under the weeping willow. As i look back now i relize this willow I loved oh so much to think under was a reflection of my dispair.My life was changed under that tree the day I met him. I was crying my eyes out as if a thousand rivers flowed threw me I had been in a fight with my step-dad then when he came to me he asked "What's wrong?" but instead of ignoring him I looked up and said "Everything.". He chuckled at what I said I looked at him with confusion and hate. He then looked at me and said "You have no idea what pain is yet." with that he drew a sword, as long as my arm, and flung it thew the air i turned just in time to see it hit a woman in black. He grabed my my arm and started to run he said "You have to run, Fighting spirit or they will kill you!". I was shocked how could he know my secret name my Wiccan name it wasn't possible only my high pristess knows that name,but I ran anyways. As I ran all i thought was "The Fight Begins".

We met are destination,a temple touched by the Goddess, in an hour that was when I went crazy screaming and cussing my head off yelling things like "Who the fuck are you? What the fuck do you want?" and a few more very inaproppriate things. When i finally calmed downed he smiled and said "I am here to protect you from the Black Rose asassins. My name is Ethan and i am sorry I caused you anger My lady and that i used your secret name,but I knew that was the only way you would listin to me.". I stared in disbelif did he say My lady and why was he protecting me and why the hell are asassins after me, Goddess please let this be a dream. When I spoke again I asked Ethan "Who are the Black rose assasins?" thats when he told me the story. The Black rose asassins are people trained from birth to hunt the girl of the prophicy she is said to to be the host of the goddess they belive that person to be me because of the powers I posses Earth, Air, Fire, and Water the four elements. My high presitess sent Ethan to protect me as I stared at him he looked back at me and I relized the pain in his eyes and I decided I should leave him alone, but as I turned he said "you can stay if you like I'm just deep in thought about the task at hand, protecting you.". So i sat down at the top of the stairs and we talked about are lives I told him about my family which he was most intrested in. I told him about my older brother, Todd and how traditional he was when it came to being a Wiccan he has a very gentle soul but can change that kindness in to sher hate if threatend. When i asked him about his family he was silent then he made me go in and get some sleep. The next day I woke up thinking I was home forgeting the events of the day before but when I saw where I was everything came rushing back to me and i started to look for Ethan when I found him he said "Good morning, My lady." annoyed I said "Don't call me that call me, Elizabeth, okay?" "Fine but I wish to call you lady Elizabeth it is much more formal.". "Okay i wish you woulden't, but okay.". After we seatled that matter Ethan went to find breakfast when he returned we ate in silence. Thank the Goddess we did or we would have never heard them come they where in the trees Ethan whisperd to me with urgency "Be quite or they will suspect we know now walk in to the temple and pretend you don't know their there understand me your life depends on it!"
