Clara and the key

Chapter 1: the forest boy

One day, a girl named Clara decided to go down to her local forest. She took some bread (because her parents were bakers) in case she got hungry, grabbed a jacket in case it rained and a letter her dad gave her. He told her not to open it in front of anyone, to only open it once in the forest. 

She started to make her way to the forest and looked around at the town. There were birds sawing through the sky, clouds in the shapes of animals and hills filled with sheep. However on the way to the forest,  Clara was almost at the forest but inside her head couldn’t stop thinking about that letter and wanted to be there already. It started to rain so she put on her jacket and ran into the forest. Once she was in the middle she was covered by the trees and barely got wet but kept the jacket on in case. She heard howls and snaps of twigs. Clara turned but couldn’t see anyone or anything. Hoping that no one was there, she pulled out the letter and opened it. 

A bright light shot out from it, once it had disappeared a big gust of wind hit her. As she turned she saw a boy standing there. Clara was shocked and fell over. Once she was up she wondered where he came from and how since she didn’t see anyone else go into the forest. She walked away in shock, deeper into the forest. Clara was still confused how the boy appeared out of nowhere. She took out the letter again and read it and it said: if the boy appears he will protect you if any one or anything approaches you. She continued to walk and heard the twigs snapping again and turned around. A wolf!
