Adelle ran out the door and went to the car to grab her purse with however much money she had in it, she knew she would need it. Then she darted down the street running as fast as she could though she was hurt. Tears were running down her face stinging her cheeks from the cold winter breeze rushing over them. She ran for almost twenty minutes. She wanted to make sure her foster father couldn't find her. She finally thought she made a big enough distance from the house and started walking to catch her breath. She came across a park and sat down on a bench and started to cry again. Still wearing the dress from the party earlier she sat there freezing, she really wished she had time to grab a jacket. She wiped her tears from her cheeks and calmed herself trying to forget this night.

Suddenly an old woman came out of no where and was walking towards Adelle. She was a little frightened because it was so late and dark and she was alone but the woman seemed very old and walked with a cane.

Adelle quickly wiped her tears away as the woman came up to Adelle and said "Please miss, it's very cold and I haven't eaten in days. Could you spare some change for an old woman like me to get some food?" Her voice raspy.

Adelle felt sorry for the old woman, she shouldn't be out here in the cold. Adelle smiled at the woman and grabbed her purse and took out her wallet. "I only have 5 dollars left but you can have it, I'm sure you need it more than I do." Adelle handed the money to woman and smiled.

The old woman took the money and returned a smile then sat down next to Adelle on the bench. "Well looks like you really have grown up to be quite a nice young lady."

Adelle turned to the old woman with confusion and shock all over her face "I'm sorry have we met before?"

"Yes dear, a long time ago you were just a baby." The old woman said her voice had changed and the old woman's appearance melted away to reveal a beautiful woman with shinny blonde hair and bright violet eyes.

Adelle just stared at the beautiful woman in shock, she was speechless and didn't speak for a moment "..I..don't understand.." Adelle shook her head and looked to the ground still in shock on how this woman changed form. She turned back to the woman "..Who are you?"

The woman just smiled at Adelle "That's not important at the moment, but what is important is I have come to help you Adelle."

"With what?" Adelle still starstruck

"With your parents."

Adelle's heart stopped "..What..? My parents? You know who they are?" She shook her head. "That's impossible. Is this some kind of joke? Did someone put you up to this?" Adelle's voice shaking. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. No one knew who her parents were. She was just dropped off at an orphanage when she was just a baby with nothing. No birth certificate, no note. Nothing. How did this woman know who her parents were? She was in disbelief.

The blonde woman simply let out a gentle laugh at the young girl and said "No child, this is not a joke. Do you want me to take you to your parents?"

Adelle looked at the woman then to the ground.'Is this really happening? I have the worst day ever and it ends with a random woman coming up to me in the park saying she can take me to my parents. Is she crazy?' She shook her head'No, there's no way she would know I'm a foster child. This has to be real'

Adelle lost in her thoughts finally looked up to the woman "More than anything." She said with a sad smile.

"Do you wish it?" The woman said to her with a spark in her eyes.

"Yes, I wish to find my parents please." Adelle said to the woman shaking from the cold.

Within seconds there was a bright flash of light temporarily blinding Adelle. Then the next thing she knew she was about 4 feet off the ground then she realized she was falling, her face about to meet the cold dirt.

Adelle hit the ground and groaned in pain holding her side from where her foster father had kicked her. She sat up slowly holding her head. She looked around, she was in the middle of a very dark forest and still in her dress from earlier that night. She slowly stood up and started walking. She didn't know where she was going to go so she just picked a direction and went with it. She was walking for about fifteen minutes when she heard a branch crack behind her and rustling. Adelle stopped walking and froze. She slowly turned around to see two pairs of eyes about 7 feet away from her in the darkness of the trees. The figures slowly peered out from behind the trees.

'Wolves'Adelle whispered her breath fog from how cold it was outside. Adelle then turned around and ran as fast as she could darting through trees trying to lose them. She then saw a light in the distance of the forest she ran towards it.'That must be a house.'She thought as she ran faster so she could escape this nightmare. Branches kept scrapping her arms. Dirt and snow were all over her legs. The wolves were gaining on her she needed to get to that house.

She was running out of strength to keep going when she had realized she was coming very close to the light. She got closer and saw a tall metal gate and looked up to find it wasn't a house she was running to but a castle. She used all her strength she had left and practically ran through the gate then she fell to the ground and hit her head hard but right before she passed out she had time to kick the gate closed with her foot. She saw the wolves try to get her through the gate but failed then all she saw blackness.
