Please don't forget to review, it means the world to me.
Chapter 1:
A cold winter breeze blew from the north. Snow littered the ground surrounding the ornate castle before him. Both his parents held his hands, to keep them warm. The family stood at the entrance to the castle, admiring the golden glow it seemed to give off, blurred by the wind and falling snow.
"Мама, do we get to live here?" the young boy asked. His face was full of anticipation, eager for his mother to agree.
"Да. And we can stay here and live happily for the rest of our lives. No war, nor poverty, and no hatred." His parents both smiled at him and he blushed a deep red.
"Срасиба, мама."
"Пажалста, Иван."
The family trundled towards the shimmering castle, towing their luggage behind. Ivan smiled as they reached the door. His father lifter him up and all three turned the doorknob together.
A whole world of excitement awaited Ivan.

"Hurry up Наталя!"
"Oh stop whining Екатерина; it is usually you who is trailing behind!"
"Yes but I cannot pass up this opportunity to tease you!"
Two girls wandered the forest, wasting away their day. They had nothing better to do; their parents were busy and they didn't fit in with the other children. Ekaterina had hit puberty early and was picked on for her short hair and large chest. Natalya was a pretty girl, but had a short temper, and was anti-social around others. But the girls were happy playing in the forest, the contrasting dark green of the conifers and the pristine white snow provided a haven for them.
This time, the girls were going to visit a favourite place of theirs; the Golden Palace. They never went in though; there were many rumours about it being haunted. They would just stare at the beautiful light it gave off.
"I win! I got here before you for the very first time!" shouted Ekaterina, jumping up and down in excitement.
"Yeah well don't expect it to happen again," Natalya shot back. The girls sat down in front of the double doors, and Ekaterina took out some lunch.
"You know, Nat…"
"Hmm?"
"I think it would be nice to explore the castle for once."
"WHAAAAATTT!" Natalya shouted, halfway through eating a toasted sandwich.
"Да, I think it would be a nice thing to finally see inside."
"But…but the rumours!"
"Exactly. They're just rumours. Now, let's go!" Ekaterina got up to open the door but Natalya blocked her path.
"Now wait a second! What if there is something living in there. I mean, I feel like something bad could happen if we go in."
"Oh, okay then," Ekaterina sighed. But suddenly her face lit up.
"I know! How about tomorrow! We can get prepared this afternoon and be ready to explore tomorrow!"
"Uh…" was all Natalya could manage. 'There's no stopping this girl,' she thought to herself.
"Здорово! Let's go to my house now, and gather some food and torches and other things!" She grabbed Natalya by the arm and the two sped off back into the forest.
If the girls had stayed a little longer, they may have heard the sound of someone crying coming from the other side of the door.
