Chapter 1: Memories


It is Present day in The Unknown, as we see everyone is free of fear from The Beast. Up in The Old Grist Mill, lies a Family. A Family that was Cursed a 2 Years ago, but last year, The Curse was lifted. In this Family, is a Teenage Girl, who is with her Family at her Uncle's 50th Birthday. The Teenage Girl gave her Uncle a Card for his Birthday, and she wished him a Happy Birthday. The Teenage Girl hugs her Uncle, as she say's, "Happy Birthday Uncle George." Her Uncle was surprised to see her Niece Happily Nice to him, for The Teenage Girl was always a Bad Seed. But after she had an adventure, She became a Completely different Person. Uncle George tells her Niece, "Thank you Beatrice, that's very kind of you." Beatrice's Dog jumps on George's lap, and licks his face. Beatrice tells him in a Nice Tone, "Aww, he likes you."

As The Dog went back by Beatrice's Side, Her Mother calls The Entire Family toward The Dining Room. She Begins, "Today, we honor the Birth of My Big Brother George." The Family began to give Uncle George a Round of Applause. Beatrice's Mom continues, "Our Family would've been nowhere without George. It would've been full, if his wife was here." Beatrice's Family all looked sad, because George's wife died 10 years ago. Beatrice's mom finishes, "She was a lucky Woman to hook up with George. But if she were here, She would Give him a Nice Present." The Entire Family laughs at what The Mother of Beatrice said.

Beatrice's Mother tells everyone, "Okay, lets let George blow out the Candles." Uncle George leaned in, and Blew out The Candles. The Entire Family claps for him. The Mother says, "Alright, it's time to Cut the Cake. We will go alphabetically. You go first Albert My Love." She gives her Husband a Piece of Cake. Then calls out, "Beatrice." Beatrice was nowhere to be found. The Mother repeated, "Beatrice, Beatrice, Where are you?" One of Beatrice's little Brothers came to tell his Mother, "She left, and she took the Dog." The Mother said a Simple, "Oh." Then tells everyone, "Alright, I'll be back. Don't Finish everything without me."

Beatrice is in The Woods, Near a Lake with her Dog. She has a Depressing Look on her Face, as she is Skipping Rocks across The Lake. She tells her Dog, "I'm sorry I dragged you here again. I just get lonely now these days." The Dog rubs his head against Beatrice's Chest. Someone comes up from behind, it was her Mother. She asks, "Beatrice, What are you doing out here? Your Missing The Fun." Beatrice sighs, then say's, "I'm alright Mom, I just needed time to Think is All." The Mother looks puzzled, then asks Her Daughter, "Your thinking about him, Aren't you?" Beatrice's Cheeks Turn red, then Nervously say's, "What? No. Well, Yes. But, not in a Way your Probably thinking." Beatrice's Mom hugged her, then said, "You know, You can tell me anything. I will be all ears." Beatrice sighs, then said, "Yes I have been thinking about him, and his Brother. It's Been a Year since we last saw each other. I was mean to him at first, but he is a true friend, and his Cute Little Brother too." Her Mother asks, "What is your Friends names again?" Beatrice responds, "Wirt and Greg. Wirt was the guy I took too you all. When I was a Bluebird, I didn't say anything, because I wasn't ready to tell you, It was My Fault we were Bluebirds. And, If it hadn't been for Wirt, We would all still be Bluebirds." The Mother asks, "So, you Miss him?" Beatrice answers, "Well, yes. As a Friend. He had no idea how much Suffering we had as Bluebirds. I wish I would've never thrown that Rock at that Bluebird, and Accidently Cursed you all, Even me. I wish I could apologize to that Bird." Beatrice Hugs her Mother, as Her Mother tells her, "Don't worry, Maybe They will comeback one day. And who Knows? Maybe Wirt and Greg miss you too. Now let's go back to Uncle George's house, and have some cake." Beatrice calmly tells her mother, "Where ever they are, I hope they are enjoying their home."
