Gilly sat at the end of her comfy bed, her book was quite an interesting read.
"GILLY!!" Cried her mother's voice. Gilly paid little attention at first.
"GILLY!!" She cried again. The girl leaped out of her bed and pried open the door. She waddled to the staircase.
"Yes Mom?" Gilly asked, clutching the rail.
"Your father wandered off AGAIN!!" the mother cried. Gilly sighed. Her father was quite the drunk. Many times he would just wander off and Gilly and her mother will have to look for him. Sometimes he won't go far. One time he went as far as Meridal and was labeled the Village fool… But that's another story…
Gilly went down the stairs and grabbed her coat.
"Aren't you coming?" Gilly asked. Her mother was lounging in the soft chair near the fireplace. Her mother's hand was carefully bandaged after a game of Wii Sports went awry.
"Ugh… no." Gilly's mother responded. "My hand is still a bit weak after it hit the bookshelf. Besides, he's probably not far. He was here a few minutes ago. You can go yourself!"
"Alone!?" Gilly cried. "But… but the haunted woods are full of ghosts, werewolves and pedophiles!"
"Oh don't be ridiculous Gilly!" Her mother assured her. "Pedophiles are nothing but a silly legend!"
Gilly felt like arguing, but she had a feeling it wasn't going to end anytime soon. Gilly shrugged and went for the old lantern before heading for the door. Outside, she flipped up her hood.
"This better not take long." Gilly told herself before heading down the dark path.

Yeah I know, it's short. Su me. But more will follow. And this won't be as stupid as "Where's My Coke", AND will hopefully be updated more often.
CIAO!!
