Chapter 1

As the warm sun rose over the city, rays of light spilled into a room to land on a girls face, though most would call her a woman since she was the age of 18. After a few moments of letting the sun warm her face after a cool night, her eyes fluttered open to see a beautiful day outside her window right above her bed. She went by the name of Stephanie. She sat up in bed and stretched out her achy body from a good nights rest. Her hand then grabbed for her brush that rested on the nightstand next to her bed. She walked over to the other window in her room and began to brush the snarls out of her beautiful brown hair that reached to the middle of her back.

Stephanie lived on the left side of the river, the artistic side. The most common things you could find her doing would be playing with her younger siblings, and just enjoying gorgeous days. Nevertheless, most commonly you would see her leaning against the old tree that was right next to the river that separated the area, drawing anything and everything that came to mind.

When she was done brushing her hair, she placed the brush back to where she found it and brought all of her hair over her left shoulder to start braiding it. This was the most common style everyone would see her hair in. Many people encouraged her to wear her hair down more often because it was so beautiful, but that didn't happen that often. She then walked over to her dresser and picked out a simple faded orange dress that she slipped on with ease. Before she left her room, she grabbed her sketchbook and her drawing utensils for she was going to go to her usual spot under the old tree right next to the river.

Little did she know though that with her doing that, she signed the rest of her story off to an unknown writer. For with her going there she would catch a glimpse of the person who would change her entirely.

Stephanie opened her door to welcome the warm sunrays to her skin. As she walked outside, her hand that held her sketchbook went up to her forehead to shield her eyes from the strong rays that shone brightly. Her feet brought her into a small run to meet up with her friends.
