Lock And Key (Draft)

A girl named Jenna finds herself in a strange world after her mother dies. She wonders if she's been kidnapped like her brother was long ago, but soon finds some strange things are going on. She has to find her way back to her father, but she believes her only hope is her brother, and nobody knows where he is, let alone if he's alive. Will she find her supposedly kidnapped brother, or will she be trapped, with nothing but a stuffed rabbit she believes talks to her?

Chapter One: My Favorite Toy Starts Talking To Me
 An explosion. That’s all it was. Or at least, all it seemed to be. Some think it was an accident. Others think it was on purpose. The only thing that everyone agreed on was that Jenna and her stuffed rabbit Fluff were the only survivors. She slowly walked out from the rubble, her usual pale face and brown hair charred with soot and ash.

 She knew herself she was the only survivor. Her mother was too ill, even if the blast didn’t hit her. Her lungs wouldn’t be able to withstand the smoke. Instead of staying there for the last possible seconds of her mother’s life, she simply dusted her rose colored dress, picked up her rabbit, and walked down to the police station.

 Nobody knew why she didn’t stay, or why she didn’t seem sad. A few people accused her of murdering her mother, but she simply stayed quiet when it was suggested. The police ran a search of her name, Jenna Morrison, and easily got a result. It turned out her father, Jared, was still alive. They did their best to escort her to him, but a few times she managed to run away.

 Eventually, they got her to the small cottage her father lived in, leaving her there while he was out gathering wood. She took a moment to view the surroundings outside the window.

 It wasn’t very bright, but it seemed okay. They appeared to live on a large hill overlooking forests on all sides. From the door, there was a path that quickly divided into four trails leading to different parts of the woods. She never thought about what was in the woods, simply about how her father would react to the ten year old girl he hadn’t seen since she was three.
