Hi! this is my first fanfic and i am really excited! please review and tell me what you think! :)


It started as a normal day on the Fablehaven preserve. Well, as normal as it can get on a sanctuary full of magical, and dangerous creatures.

Seth was outside in the garden losing a game baseball to his friends, Hugo and Mendingo. The huge golem and the puppet-like person were almost forced to play with him (Seth's grandfather didn't trust him out in the yard alone) but nonetheless all three seemed to have a good time together.

"What?! This can't happen again!" The 14 year old boy whispered with a hint of anger in his voice. After losing the game twice in a row to his friends, he couldn't help but get angry.

Kendra giggled under her breath as she saw her brother grow mad at the golem for supposedly cheating.

She had watched their whole game from the attic window and observed that the reason Seth lost had nothing to do with cheating. Seth just chose a bad team, himself against two incredibly strong, agile, and magical individuals.

Kendra turned around from the window a smile planted on her face. She scanned the room silently, as if looking for something, but knew exactly where it is. Her eyes finally fell on a picture resting on her desk. She walked over to the photograph, picked it up, and her smile grew. It was a picture of her and Bracken that Vanessa took without them knowing.

The picture was of the two with their backs turned to the camera. Bracken's arm was around Kendra and they were both gazing at the beautiful orange and pink colors of the sunset. She secretly wished she could be in that moment for the rest of her life.

"what ya doin'?" Kendra jumped and turned to face the speaker. It was Seth, and he was standing right next to her face.

"You scared me!"

"I've been standing here for like five minutes"

Apparently Kendra had been looking at her picture for longer than she thought! How could Seth had been standing there for 5 minutes!

"But seriously what are you looking at?"

"Nothing important, just a picture" Kendra stood up from the chair she was sitting on and put the picture in her journal.

"Well, duh. I meant what is the picture of." He knew she wouldn't tell him but it never hurts to try.

Seth was right, Kendra just ignored him and sat down on her bed to read Patton's journals.

"Kendra, Seth! Time for dinner!" Grandma Sorenson called. Seth immediately left the room and went to the kitchen, but Kendra took a bit longer.

She got out the picture of her and Bracken and sighed," I miss you" She put away her journals and slowly headed down stairs.


Please review and tell me what you think of the first chapter! :)
