The Words that Echo

As long as Tara could remember, she had heard voices...

Special voices, that only she could hear.

Her parents didn't believe her. They didn't believe in voices or magic.

Tara did.

She heard many different voices, but there was always an Old Man, A Young Man, A Girl about twelve, a Boy about thirteen and a Young Woman. Sometimes the Girl was different. But the others were always the same.

They told her stories. Myths. Legends. But myths about places not in her world.

She loved the stories.

Her voices could not talk with each other. She often needed to tell one what the other had said.

Hearing Voices doesn't exactly make you Miss Popular. She was the school loner.

But she didn't care, because her voices were still there. They believed she heard them. You have to believe in yourself...don't you?

She heard all her voices until she was fifteen...

(A/N)

Yes, I did get her Voices from Hexwood by Diana Wynne Jones. So Sue Me. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...
