Prologue
The girl raced through the forest in pursue of her prey. Everything moved by in blurs of greens, oranges and reds. Autumn set the scene ablaze and trickles of the light danced upon the ground like sparks. Shifting beams of sunlight peeked through the leaves swaying from color to color matching Autumns rhythm.
The girl stopped and took in the smells of the forest. Coldness tickled her nose with sharp scents of wet foliage. This was her favorite time of year, when she could bundle up if she wanted and jump into piles of fire colored leaves. No matter what day of the year it was, she could always remember the magical smells of Autumn. The scent is always hard to describe, but easily recognizable to anyone whenever mentioned.
She had lost her prey, only for a moment, because soon she could hear a rustling not far off. The girl bounded away in search of the sound. There! The little white rabbit dodged between trees and under bushes. She had to jump over roots and splash through puddles to keep up with the furry creature. Her deep blue dress was being torn from the brambles she passed, and her light blond hair reached out and grabbed pieces of the forest to take along her journey.
Just then, there was a spot ahead full of brilliant bright light. As soon as she entered the small circle of trees she skidded to a stop, but not soon enough! The girl tripped on a large root and fell headfirst into a large hole. She was falling, but she wasn't, it was as if she was floating slowly downwards. Everything changed, rainbows swirled around her. At first the girl thought she had touched a port-key, but something else was happening here, because she wasn't holding on to some old ratty boot or otherwise. Down she fell, through the shifting shades of light into the mysterious unknown.
