Since it doesn't seem like anyone cares I'll post the Prologue to another story I'm writing:

Secrets
Prologue​

It was a cold dark night from long ago. From before the U.S was even a country almost before it twas found. It was 500 hundred years ago in the place that someday would become Ohio. Two men stood in a wood near the entrance to a tunnel. One had just come out of the shadows and was now speaking,
“Are you sure it’s safe? No one must ever find it you know.” He said his voice sounded like a snake’s and a fox’s mixed together to form a voice of menace and mistrust.
“Yes,” replied the other man shivering, “All the entrances but this, are closed.”
“And what of this one?” hissed the first man,
“How shall we seal it up?”
“It can only be sealed with the password.” said the second man who was younger and fairer than the other. The older man muttered something of a different language, horrible and evil.
“Now no one shall know of the secrets of the Tunnels.” Said the old man sounding pleased.
“Yes I suppose so." said the younger man, who lingered near the now sealed entrance even after the other had gone. “Now I suppose fair Jezule we shall never again meet.” He said sadly then walked away.

Deep in the tunnels though a girl waited and hummed a tune then began to sing in a fair voice:

Deep I wait in Tunnels of Doom
For a rescuer I wait
For the one who will break the spell that holds me in the Tunnels of Doom

To save my people I wait I wait
For one to come
Out of the Day
Come to save
One who knows the lost password
One who knows the lost password


Quietly the girl walked to a place where she had hidden a young girl, The girl whose descendant would save her people from the tunnels of doom as they were called. She picked up the girl who, still asleep, was no more than four years.
Suddenly the little girl blinked and asked, “Jezule where are we going?”
“They have sealed all entrances and exits but one,” said Jezule, “To that place we goest.” She told the little girl,
“But,” said the small girl “Lea please do not ask questions. You and I are some of the last of the Tunnel people, maybe the last.”
Lea asked no more but she wondered about much. Her older sister Jezule had taught her much how to live on wild fruit and plants, how to hunt and defend herself against wild creatures… But never had Jezule had such need for quickness and swiftness. Always they had gone calmly to the entrances then gone back but now… What evil had befallen to make Jezule like this she could not guess.
By now Jezule had taken Lea to the last entrance, or exit.
“You must go,” said Jezule “I cannot come now.”
She said “Why? Jezule I don’t understand.”
“You may one day.” Said Jezule
“For now you must trust me.”
“Ok.” Said Lea “But um Jezule,”
“Yes?”
“I’m still scared.”
Jezule laughed quietly and then said gravely “So am I.” “Now come you must go. That’s right stand on my shoulders now,” The little girl climbed out of the hole, “You must make for one of the farms nearby, the people there will take care of you.”
“You aren’t coming Jezule?”
“No,” “Not this time.”
“Will I ever see you again?” “No.” “But remember Lea, you must tell everything you remember to you descendants, and they must to theirs.”
“Why?”
“There’s no time! I hear them. Run Lea, RUN!” Lea had no choice but to do what her sister said. She ran through the familiar woods with tears running down her face. Lea ran and then collapsed on the doorstep of one of the farmer’s houses, thinking ‘Jezule please come back I want to see you again, please…’

Dreams​

Carrissa was standing in a wood. Trees swayed about her, the wind rustled through grass and leaf. Carrissa sudenly heard a voice calling her
"Carrissa." It was fair and beautiful. Carrissa turned and saw a girl clothed in white coming towards her. The girl was a few years older than Carrissa, she had brown hair that flowed down her shoulders and blue eyes that sparkled. Carrissa knew her at once, not that she had ever seen the girl before.
"Carrissa, there was two myself and you," she said, "I cannot help you physicly but I can give you wisdom. You must go to Cherry Wood and look for the entrance to the Tunnel. Do not go alone."
"Will I see you again?" asked Carrissa.
The older girl smiled and said "You will far away in the place hidden by the Wave." she said and was gone.

Cherry Wood​

Carrissa woke up with a start and looked around. But the wood had vanished along with the girl. she was laying on her bed with a book next to her.
"Must have fallen asleep while I was reading." she murmered to herself. She sighed, it was not the first time the she had dreampt that dream though she never told anyone. She knew it must mean something, but what?

Sunday passed with nothing unusual happening, except Carrissa's parents let her friend Beverly sleep over because Monday was a holiday and the girls had no school.
"Hey mom can we go to the woods?" called Carrissa
"Sure girls be careful though." said Carrissa's mom
"Ok mom we will." said Carrissa grabbing her bow and strapping her quiver of arrows to her belt.
"Bev catch!" said Carrissa when they were outside, Carrissa tossed Beverly her stick.
"So what part of the woods are we going to?" asked Beverly excitedly.
"We're going out from the Black Hole to the Ruins of Cair Paravel to were we had my birthday party and then..."
"And then, what?"
"And then to lands I don't know much about." said Carrissa, "You know Bev there are places in Cherry Wood I've never explored. Thats where the Danger comes in. I don't know what we'll find there. We must be on our gard."
"Aw come off it Kitten." said Beverly (Kitten is what Beverly called Carrissa), "You've been reading to many Adventure stories lately."
"You can never read to much Bev." said Carrissa, and with that they set off.

Here's more of my story:

Now Cherry Wood (as Carrissa had named it) was the wood behind Carrissa's house. She had named it Cherry Wood not because it had cherry trees in it but because it was after a cat she once had, three of whose now grown kittens lived there.

Carrissa now, having passed the Black Hole or the Backshop, was with Beverly headed towards Cherry Wood. It was a beautiful place in summer. But now in winter it was covered in a light snowfall, and looked even to say a bit erie when you looked at it now.

The girls walked into the woods. They had now passed what Carrissa called The Ruins of Cair Paravel, and were passing through the first trees which bordered the wood.
"How much further until we get to the place we had your birthday party walk?" asked Beverly
"Not far." said Carrissa "We should come to The Tree Arch soon and thats where my birthday was."
They continued on, unknown to all except the birds and other animals of the wood.
 
Presently they came to a clearing. It had a fire-pit which had not been used recently and was covered lightly with snow. A large rock stood beside it and Carrissa muttered:
"I should think of a name for this place."
Besides the fire-pit and rock there were two large trees curved facing each other in an arch like fashion.
"I dub this place The Arch Clearing." said Carrissa suddenly and loudly and Beverly turned and looked at her,
"I just like to name places and stuff." murmered Carrissa, and they went on.
Soon they came to another clearing. Though this one had only a place where it looked as if a tree had been uprooted.
"Nothing interesting here, I see." said Beverly boredly
"I don't know." said Carrissa uncertianly, "I guess...No, wait there, there! Look Beverly!" she exclaimed.
"Look at what?"
"This!" said Carrissa going over to a place where the ground sloped. She rapped her bow on a rock that had been placed there, "Its hollow," said she "I betcha we could open this somehow."
"Yeah with about twenty grown-ups maybe, but not two kids." contradicted Beverly.
"Ok one where's your sense of Adventure? And two, in books doors like this always have a spell on them, remeber the door to Moria in Lord of the Rings? It had a spell on it. And in the Archives of Anthropos there was a Tunnel system that could only be opened in the name of the man there who represnted Jesus." The moment Carrissa said 'Jesus' the great Stone Door swung open to revel a black yawning Tunnel.

Chapter 3
The Tunnel

The two girls stood at the entrance to the Tunnel. It was dark and dreary inside like no light had ever entered it, and it smelled musty.
"Echo!" cried Beverly into the darkness.
"Oh Bev sometimes I wish you weren't so childish." said Carrissa feeling annoyed.
"Fine then this is reasonable; lets go back and get some supplies at least, eh?"
"OK, I guess. But we have to be quiet."

The two of them went back to the house and got Carrissa's old back pack and put 'supplies' in it. Meaning, food, water in bottles, blankets and all of Carrissa's Arrow's that worked.
"That'll do." whispered Carrissa, whose parents they had eluded because they were whatching a loud movie with the door to their room shut.
"What about sleeping bags?" asked Beverly who had brought hers.
"I'll admit its probably a good idea, but..."
"But what?"
"I just don't think we'd be gone that long." concluded Carrissa, "Still we probably should."
So the girls set out once again and went out to the woods. The stone door was still open when they got there, but as soon as they went in it slammed shut behind them and all was dark, and Carrissa said:
"Well I guess there's no turning back now."

"I wonder how long this Tunnel goes on for." said Beverly, and the girls turned on their flash-lights, which they had sensibly brought (as one always should when one is going into dark places, especialy caves and tunnels).
"More than likely it comes out at an opening at one point or another." said Carrissa. "Then again the opening we came through may be the only entrance and exit." and when she said that she voiced both their fears...That they would be trapped, in that dark forboeding Tunnel forever.

Starlight​

The girls walked in the Tunnel further and further, until their heads swam with seeing only darkness and the light of their flashlights so long. At length they stopped and took a break. Neither would've known who early or late it was if Carrissa had not brought her whatch.
"Its exactly 2:37." said Carrissa promptly
"Wonder how long till our flash-lights go out." said Beverly gloomily.
Carrissa shrugged and said, "More than likely we'll be out of here before that happens." she said trying to be cheerful, then suddenly there was a, "Hey look I see the light!" said Beverly
"Yeah I know a bit odd, but maybe people live here." suggested Carrissa "and they just lit torches."
"Uh Carrissa the torches are moving." said Beverly
and she was right. The light was now moving slowly towards them.
