For the Village

(0) “Oh, I’m so tired,” Rose, a tiny pixie, moaned as she sat on a mossy rock on the bank of a trickling brook. Rose was dressed in a long, flowing olive green and tan colored skirt made out of a sheer, thin material.

(4) One day while I was sitting down I heard something or some one calling "we want you she is the one"! I looked behind me and not a soul was there. Maybe I just heard something, or maybe I did not. But, then I heard it again yet another time I heard it except the voice was abnormal. It told me " She must sacrifice HER LIFE or her village will be lost"!It was a small village and I did love my family and friends that lived here. I must do it FOR THE VILLAGE!
