A Child's Heart, page 10

First of all, I am sooo sorry it took forever and ever to write another page of this... since it was summer, and I was totally stuck (for some reason it's easier for me to write about actionish stuff than normal stuff) I kinda took a break and never got around to completely finishing this page. (I'm absolutely pathetic, I know.) I would like to note that all the story pages I have posted, and all the ones I will continue to post, are the first drafts. There are definitely some changes that will be made in the end. But until then, I hope you will enjoy my feeble efforts at writing this little tale. :)



With all the stress and excitement of the past few days, the children enjoyed a refreshingly calm day. They spent most of the day outside exploring. Wendol busied himself with making a collection of pretty rocks and Rylen sat and drew in the dirt with a stick. She was just putting the finishing touches on her stick people, when suddenly, something small and green came flying out of nowhere and landed on her lap. She shrieked and jumped up in surprise. Justace, who had been sitting beside her, burst out laughing. “It’s only a frog!” He informed her. Rylen joined in his laughter. “That varmint just about plum scared the livin’ daylights outta me!” Wendol came running. “A frog? Where? I want to catch it!” He exclaimed. The frog, however, didn’t fancy this idea, and quickly hopped away. It was quite amusing to watch Wendol running and tripping along after it. “Wait up, Wendol!” Rylen called as she ran after him to help catch the speedy little frog. “I have a family at last.” Justace thought to himself. “…And what a wonderful family it is.” A smile spread across his face as he ran to join in on the chase. After running for a while though, he became puzzled. Rylen and Wendol were nowhere to be found. “Hello? Guys?” He called. “Where are you?” No reply. He searched just about every place he could think of, but still couldn’t find them. He was just about ready to give up, when he heard muffled giggling from above. He quickly looked up towards the direction of the sound, and there, sitting atop a large tree branch were Rylen and Wendol. “How’s it goin’ down there, Just?” Rylen called. “We were hiding from you!” Wendol said happily. Justace chuckled. “I can see that.” He said. “How did you get up there?” “Wylen helped me.” Wendol replied. “Come sit up here with us!” “Okay, here I come!” Justace said. But try as he might, he just couldn’t make it up the tree. Rylen burst out laughing. “I finally found something I can do that you can’t!” She said amusedly. Justace just smiled and shook his head.
