They say that the forest holds many secrets, our small village knew to stay clear of it, the adults were always telling us children to stay clear and we were punished if we went to near. None of us kids knew why the adults were so afraid of the forest for nothing ever came in our out.
The small village lingered on the edge of the forest, petite houses stood scattered about the village made sorely of wood that grew faded over time. A small church stood overlooking the village, shadowing it like it was the all mighty protector. Everyone in the village lived happily together, living off the food they grew and the animals they raised. The village had been growing for over 4 generations. No matter how old or how young the inhabitants of the village always wore the cloaks of the suits, they said they were worn for protection from the beasts of the forest. For those who dared to venture into the forest, they were never seen again, for you would always hear the shrill cry of the beasts taking their new prey.
Growing up in the small village was just another adventure to me; I never realized the secrets our village hid. I was born in the time of which the leaves of the trees turned color and into the fourth generation of the village successors. The new council of the suits had been chosen and my father, the elder Spade and my mother the elder Heart were the new leaders of the village, and shortly after my brother; Matthew Spade Hamilton was born. In the village it was a huge celebration for a Spade or Heart to be born, for it meant good luck to the village, so when Matthew arrived everyone was in a joyous mood. When my brother was five, I was born, it was rare for village leaders to have more than one child, but when I arrived once again the village was in admiration, my mother named me Alice Heart Hamilton.
But apparently when I was born good luck did not rain upon the village, but only misery. For after the autumn of my birth winter came and staid for much longer than what it usually did. After the harsh winter the spring didn't seem to well either, for the rain wouldn't come, so our crops wouldn't grow but all in all our village carried on. Matthew was always following father everywhere, and he was the pride and joy of the village, wherever he went, and the sun seemed to follow.
But once again it seemed our village was struck with a sudden embellishment of hopelessness. For it was to be my third birthday when my brother was taken from us, never will I forget that day. I remember him walking towards the forest, his blue cloak swaying in the wind, he walked as if mesmerized by the forest and soon he was engulfed by the thick bushes. All day everyone was in search of him, no one realized he had gone into the forest, until that night a scream of terror woke everyone in the village. Everyone rushed to the edge of the forest, the torches of fire and the crescent moon were the only sources of light, but no light was needed to see the torn and bloodied cloak of what were the last remains of Matthew.
From that day on the village changed, for the longest time it seemed like a dark cloud hung over everyone, no one seemed enjoyed by the slightest thing. But the worst part was after Matthew's death, I became heavily watched, since I was the child of the Spade and Heart elders no one wanted my fate to be like Matthews. So anytime I was more than 10 feet closer to the forest someone would warn me to take a few steps back and be wary. But it only made me more curious for I wanted to learn what was in the forest and what had happened to Matthew, the more they pulled me away the closer I wanted to get. And still today even at sixteen I want to go into the forest and find the creatures that loom deep within.
