my first story on I N K L I N G S
Then the Raven Came
1
I heard a tapping at my window, it was 3:00 am, everyone else was asleep,I heard the tapping again, I got up and walked to my window, there was nothing , but still I heard a voice calling my name. It had been going since I was 8 I'm 16 now and I still heard the voices calling my name and sometimes I hear them chanting or singing nursery rhymes my dad used to sing before, " they" got him. One day he had been in his study writing his latest book "The Shadows Took Them" He was about to reveal who was controlling the shadows when his study filled with shadows and he just disappeared and that was the last time I ever saw him....The Shadows have been following me ever since that day, talking to me, singing to me,threatening me.....The next night I was camping with my friends in the PineWood Forest. All night I couldn't sleep so I went for a walk and suddenly I was surrounded by wolves, snarling, growling, savage,wolves made of shadows, just like in Dads first book " The Beginning of the End" I thought.When the ShadowWolves surround
Leaf , she uses necromancy to get them to go away.... For the first time since I was little I wondered what if Dads stories are real? What if there's more to them that meets the eye? In the distance I could here more wolves howling, there were more coming....

I quickly tried to remember everything I know about Leaf, how she found her Necromancy.......But then I realise all of this seemed awfully familiar, like a dream....... "Oh my God" I whisper suddenly realising that I had seen this all before, in my reoccurring dream, the same dream that has been coming since Dad left, and the book oh my god the book, this had all happened in "Beginning of the End" Dad knew, he knew this would happen all his books, were they.... Hints of the Future?..Dad did once tell me a character was based on me...am I Leaf??

The closer and closer the wolves moved in the more I remember, suddenly I hear a voice behind me, "Quick" it says "Put this on". I feel something cold in my hands a ring carefully i hold in up the the moonlight, then I remembered Leaf had a ring to store her necromancy in, was that ring, real?.
