Letter's to Isabelle
A Glory Fanfiction

Chapter 1: The Escape to Nowhere
The late summer sun perched over her, allowing the heat to blanket over Isabelle's body. From the crunches of broken twigs and ruffling over her gown she desperately tried to focus her attention on her soon arrival to the Forbes manor. She groaned, her arms in pain from the heavy bags, reminding herself to definitely inform her Father that the carriage driver had the nerve to drop her off two whole miles from her home.
Was chivalry forgotten in America?
She counted each tree she passed hopping to be distracted from the current throbbing from her forearms, finding that thinking of her upcoming was nearly impossible. The passage way resembled something out of a fairy tale. The rich green canopy allowed many large rays of light to pass through and shine on the moist earth floor, logs and broken branches all topped with moss and different greens extended randomly throughout the forest carpet. She grinned and dropped her things, gently stretching her arms before taking small meekly steps forward.
In one more ways, forward into her past.
Isabelle's eyes glistened and she covered her mouth with a tan hand. Before her was a giant tree, the trunk its self being a few feet wide. The rippled wood was covered with various living plants, among the glorious greens was the giant engraving of the letters I and R.
She gently bent over, tracing the broken wood and smiling in fascination. Who would have thought in all these years she would have stumbled upon their tree. "My god…" Her voice trailed and she bent her head to the side, still shocked at her discovery. Isabelle slowly got up, patting her dress and taking one last look. An idea suddenly popped into her mind and she grabbed the hem of her sleeve, bringing the arm to her mouth she ripped off a piece of fabric.
Turning around and gingerly picking up her bags, the torn sleeve still in her mouth. Once again her journey had begun, her feet trudging through the forest. If the engraving meant anything it told Isabelle she was closer to home then she thought. Suddenly butterflies fluttered around in stomach, she bit her bottom lip and stopped walked…
Shaking her body in a way that almost looked demonic Isabelle squealed a giant smile never leaving her face. Her little dance was soon over and she took in a deep breath, her hair and gown out of place she huffed and looked down. Not wanting to take any more time she ignored her current presence and began walking again.
Oh, I know this incredibly short don't kill me! There is no real excuse for my absence of updating for both The Glory and obviously this. I felt the need to upload something, I literally wrote 5 different scenarios for this chapter. On a random note, I was cleaning my computer and started reading some of my old work from 2 years ago and holy crap I was a much better writer! Is that even possible to get worse over time? I don't know but I hope you guys like this. :)
I'm putting titles on my chapters again :D
I used to do that and stopped out my pure laziness but I think this chapter could use all the length it could get.
