Chapter 1

"Ally" said a soft squinted into the mist trying to see who had broken the peace and quiet. Ally had been dreaming she was walking through a wood , and in front of her stood a castle.

"Ally! Listen to me, you need to wake up." The voice was female, and it seemed very familiar, yet brand new.

"Who are you?" Ally asked.

"You will learn in time, my dear. We have something more important to discuss at the moment. It's almost time for you to fulfill the prophecy, but first you must wakeup, and you must not come here in your dreams again!" The woman stated fiercly.

"But...I don't...I don't understand! Where am I? Why can't I be here?" Ally asked.

" Wake up dear, before anything happens." With that the woman faded into t he mist.

Ally woke with a start. She felt very confused. What prophecy? Who was this woman, who seemed so familiar? Ally shook her head. It was just a dream, nothing to get worked up about.

She got dressed quicky, and made her way prayed her father wasn't awake, she didn't want to deal with him this morning. Her dad had been treating her as a slave ever since her mom died when Ally was 8. Penny, Ally's mother, had been sick with an unknown illness. This illness took her life, because the doctors had no name and no cure for it.

Thankfully, Lester, Ally's dad, was crashed on the couch. Ally figured he had been drinking last night with his friends. He always did this. Ever since her mo ms death. She never said anything though. She did the things he told her to do, and that was that.

Clara always told her she was just like Cinderella. Ally would always grimace and say if she was Cinderella, she would have found her prince by now. Clara had been Penny's bestfriend, and treated Penny like a daughter, and Ally like a grand daughter. Ally had known her since birth, and Clara was the only person Ally could tell everything to. Clara owned a little bookshop downtown, and it mainly sold fairytales,specifically the Grimm Brothers tales. She was a petite woman of about fifty five or so. She had brown hair with a few silver hairs that she aways wore in a twisted bun.

Ally loved Clara, and the shop. It was the one place that actually felt like home to her, and she loved to read the Grimm Brothers fairytales, she had read all of them. She looked outside at tge pouring rain, and sighed. She was walking to work today and she hated the rain. She wrote a quick note to her father reminding him she was at work, she worked for Clara, and then set off.

Ally no idea what was in store for her.
