Prologue

Here's my next story that I am working on. Here is the Prologue, so enjoy. And remember to read and review. :D

Danville 100 Years Ago

In woods on the outskirts of the city was a lone figure running underneath the moonlight. The figure was feminine in appearance and seemed to be in a quick hurry. Following her was another figure that was jumping from tree branch to tree branch, trying to catch up to the girl.

"Give it up," shouted the figure chasing the girl in a male voice, "I will soon have it, so there's no use trying to run away from me!"

The girl just kept running from the guy. She ran through the bushes, trying to lose her chaser, but the guy kept pursuing her with no signs of quitting. He would not stop until he gets the thing that the girl has.

"Give me the map, NOW!" the man shouted.

"Never," responded the girl.

She jumped off a nearby ledge and rolled into a ditch hidden within the bushes. The girl knew that where it was because she knew the forest pretty well. The man landed after jumping off the same ledge that she leapt from. Thinking that she kept running forward, he continued to give chase.

"You can't run away from me forever, Jennelle!" he shouted before being gone from sight.

"Thank goodness he's gone," Jennelle said, taking a sigh of relief.

She emerged from the ledge and walked into the moonlight. Jennelle had brown eyes and hair, wearing an elegant golden dress. She looked around, making sure the coast is clear. Feeling safe, Jennelle took out a small chest and opened it, revealing a rolled up map inside.

"I can't let him get this map," she said to herself as she closed the chest, "I can't let anyone get it. The treasure it leads to must never be found."

She turned back to the ditch and jumped inside. Jennelle dug a small hole, placed the chest inside, and buried it. Letting out another sigh of relief, she climbed out of the ledge and started heading back home.

Meanwhile, Jennelle's chaser ran out of the forest, upset that he couldn't find her. The man had brown hair, wore a black vest and pants, and his eyes were barely seen due to the darkness.

"No," he said in frustration, "I can't believe that I lost her!"

He thrashed around, upset that he failed to snatch the map from her.

This story is just setup for the next chapter, which will be up sometime this week.
