PLEASE REVIEW! I would appreciate it a lot!
Chapter 1
Alyss looked outside at her daughter. The sixteen-year-old had been itching to try out the bow her father had gotten her. Laura had always been amazed at what her father, Will Treaty, did as a ranger, and now she could try it herself.
Laura's fingers trembled as she pulled the string back. On it was a white-grey swan feather arrow. She had gone to find the feathers by herself, picking them with the utmost care.
"Good. Keep your hands steady!" Will warned her. Then Laura let the arrow fly. It sailed off deep into the trees, missing what she was aiming for by a few feet.
"Awww…" she sighed.
"You'll get better with practice," Will assured her. Then, out of nowhere, two identical boys rushed out of the woods, screaming at the top of their lungs.
Those were Will and Alyss's other children, Devin and Samuel. They were eight and full of energy, always running rampant around the small cabin, in the woods, on the roads. Laura was assured that she was just like them when she was eight. She wasn't sure if that was a good thing.
Laura brushed back her blonde hair. "I want to try again!" she announced.
"Once more," Will said. "Then we should try out the knives."
"Okay." Laura knew what risks her father was taking with apprenticing her. A girl in the Ranger Corps was unheard-of. But Will, deciding that his daughter would be able to keep up with the rest of the Rangers, decided to train her anyway.
