Chapter 2 - The woods are calling me

There once was a girl named Maggie. She was 8 years old, and loved to play outside. When she was five years old her love for the woods grew. She started to wonder deeper into the woods. She followed her imaginary friends. The deeper in the woods her imaginary friends went the deep she went.

One day Maggie wondered deeper into the woods than she was allowed. Her parents got worried and went to find her. Eventually they found her. When they found her she was talking to what seemed to be herself. Her parents were beyond worried. They asked her who she was talking to. Maggie said "My friends daddy." Her dad was scared. He told her to come home and that she was no longer allowed to play in the woods ever again.

What Maggie's father said infuriated Maggie imaginary friends. That night when her parents went to bed, Maggie's imaginary friends convinced her to run away into the woods. Maggie had previously made a hut not to far from the stream. However it was deep enough in the woods where if her parents where to come look for her they would give up searching for her. Her friends told her and convinced her that with their guidance she would be safe. So with that she packed a book bag and left. She climbed out her window that was facing the woods like she did many nights but instead of sitting and listening to the nature she followed her friends. Her friends started the path to the new place that she would from now on call home.
