This is a continuation of the chapter before. Fanfiction cut off part of it, so here's the rest!

Winnie sucked in her breath. She felt Jesse tense up behind her. "Yes, if you're talking about that man who wore that yellow suit."

"Well," said William, "His grandfather's brother was that man. Interested in meeting him? Here he is,"

A boy with black hair and a nose unnervingly like the man in the yellow suit stepped out of the trees. Upon looking more closely at him, Winnie saw that his eyes were the same chilling pale blue of the old man. Winnie's heart was beating a mile a minute. She would have died rather than have let them know it.

"Nah, there's no family resemblance," lied Winnie casually.

For the first time the boy spoke, his voice an icy calm to match his eyes. "Well, little girl, whether your sad little eyes can see it or not, he was my great-uncle. And, when I come of age, which is in about a half a year" with a small, treacherous smile on his face, "I will buy your family's forest. I know my great uncle wasn't lying. There is something here. I know. And it will be mine."

"Hmph. Well, we'll see about that, won't we?" Winnie turned on her heel and stalked off, aware that Jesse was right behind her, when...

WHAM. A stone hit her head. Hard. Dizzy, she looked around for who threw the stone. William looked particularly smug.

"Why, you..." she growled, moving towards him. She raised her hand to smack him, and then someone caught her by her stomach and rammed her into a tree. She hit her head against a branch, and blacked out as she slid down the tree.

Gosh, y'all probably hate me. Or, if that's as much of a cliffhanger to you as it would be to me, you do. I'm sorry for not writing anything for a while! I'll try and get in another chapter as soon as possible.
