Hey, sorry I have not updated yet but I could not really find a way to follow the current story line so I had to rewrite the first chapter. Oh, and I changed my characters name. Well, here it goes.

Disclaimer- I do not own the Septimus heap series and the ideas. I only own this story

Erin's POV-
I walked through the snow with salty tears falling down my cheeks. I sat on the side of path and put my head in my hands repeatedly saying, "Why did you have to leave?" I heard someone approach me from behind but I didn't bother to raise my head. They asked, "Why are you crying?"
Judging by their voice it was a male. I raised my head and saw it was a boy who looked a little older than I did. He had Shoulder length, short black hair and gray eyes.
I said, "It's a personal thing, I don't think you would want to be bothered by."
He then said, "You can tell me."
I hesitated then said, "My mother died a few days ago and now I have no one else." I was already on the verge of tears.

Merrin's POV-

I didn't really know what to think or do. I've never been in a situation like this. I just got reunited with my mother, but I've never really lost anyone I cared about. I bent down beside her, put my hand on her shoulder and tried to give the most comforting smile I could. Then I asked "What about your father?" "He died before I was born," she said crying again. I rubbed my hand on her back and she buries her head in my shirt. I was a little shocked by this but still tried to comfort her.

Erin's POV-

I just cred harder until I realized I was crying into a complete stranger.
I quickly sat up straight and said, "I'm sorry about that, and sorry about wetting your coat."
He just nods and says "it's okay"
I got up and started walking away when he grabbed my hand and asked, "What's your name?"
I answered, "Its Erin." Then I left.

So what do you think? Do you like do you hate it; I want to hear your opinion..
I'll try and update later this week.
