Heart of Stone

Chapter One
I (Tayra) sat in a hammock while listing to my sister, Lyre, boast about how she beat Fiji in a race. "...and then, I ducked under the log, while he was still trying to find a way around it, and then... I won!"

"Good for you." I mumbled halfheartedly

Lyre gave me a glare "You don't need to sound so exited." She growled sarcastically

I roll my eyes and take off, with Lyre still jabbering behind me. Why can't I just go somewhere else, other then here? I asked myself, as a big orange spider landed on my head. I let out a grunt of annoyance and threw the spider off. I landed in front of my house, and slammed the door open, finding my parents there. Waiting for me.
