Well, hello! I have decided to continue this story, as you can see. I wasn't sure I was going to at first, but the reviews I got have asked me to, so I am!
And thanks, you guys! I honestly wasn't expecting any reviews, so two is pretty good!
Alyssa Belle- Thanks! And now I am continuing, obviously.
Christian (guest)- Thanks to you, too. I'm glad that you like my profile! Thanks for supporting me! It's always nice to meet another Christian on this site. Most of the authors on my favorites list are Christians too, but I haven't met any other Christian Fablehaven fans that I know of.
I'm not sure if I need to do a disclaimer, so I'll just do it anyway. I do not own Fablehaven. Brandon Mull owns Fablehaven. I'm pretty sure everyone knows that.
Garreth was starting to worry about Eve.
His little sister had been acting weird lately. She talked less, ate less, and stared out windows more. He wasn't sure what was wrong, but he wanted to help her.
There was another thing in particular that he was worried about, too. A few nights ago, Eve had come to talk to him.
He'd been in his room, about to get ready to go to bed, when Eve had opened the door and asked to talk to him.
He'd been worried then, because she had looked almost like a child who has just woken up from a nightmare. He remembered when she was young enough to come visit his room after waking up from nightmares, but that was long ago, and besides, it wasn't even late enough for her to have had a nightmare.
"Hey," he'd said. "Is something wrong?"
Eve looked like she almost hadn't realized that she had just walked into his room. "What? No, of course not," she'd answered, quite unconvincingly, in his opinion.
"Okay," he'd said. There was definitely something wrong, but he didn't want to scare her off. "What's up?"
Eve had seemed to relax. "Um, I just wanted to talk to you. I was thinking…" she trailed off. She looked undecisive, like she wanted to say something, but wasn't sure how.
Garreth had waited for her to decide what she wanted to say. Sometimes, thoughts can't be rushed.
Suddenly, though, Eve seemed to change her mind. "Never mind," she said. "It's not important. I'll just go to bed now." She had then left the room quickly.
Since then, he had been making it a point to watch her more closely. He tried to figure out what was bothering her so much.
Despite all of his efforts, he still hadn't figured it out.
Eve was frustrated.
She didn't know what to do. Now that she had gotten it into her mind, she couldn't get it out. She wanted to do something.
She wanted to leave Terrabelle and have an adventure. She wanted to meet dragons and nipsies and whatever other creatures were out there that she still hadn't met.
But even more than that, she wanted to change something.
When first the caretakers visited, Eve had been jealous. She had wanted to go with Seth and his sister, see the dragons. Now, it was different.
Yeah, she still wanted to go see dragons. Now, though, she also wanted to change something. Eve wanted to make a difference.
She had had the idea, and it had stuck. She wasn't sure what to do with it, though. It wasn't like she could just run off and become an outlaw like Lomo, even if she wanted to. She was a kid.
This had been bothering her a lot recently. She was going to ask her big brother, Garreth, about it, but then she had changed her mind, because what if he told their father? She didn't imagine that ending well.
She was twelve years old. She still wasn't sure what she wanted to make of her life. What she did know was that she wanted to make a change in the world. She wanted to have an impact.
What a twelve-year-old could do to make an impact, Eve didn't know yet, but she planned on figuring it out.
So, thanks for reading this! I like this idea a lot. I originally started the story just to get myself comfortable writing on FanFiction, and sort of had to force it, but now I think I've got it!
Writing more of this has sort of inspired me, and I think I'll definitely have some more to add. This is going to be a chapter story.
When I started writing on this site, I wasn't really expecting to write chapter stories. I have plenty of ideas, sure, so I'm not really sure why, but apparently, I am writing chapter stories now!
