Elis

An arrow whizzed past, where a young girl around seven years of age, knelt on the forest floor next to her dead father. She gripped her father's hand crying as she was saying, "Wake up daddy! I need you! You can't leave me now! Please, daddy!" She took the arrow out of her father's stomach and pulled it out, then threw it on the ground next to her. She touched her father's stomach, as if trying to heal him, as another set of arrows came flying past, she cryed even harder. For on her hand... Was her father's blood.

A horse rider stopped at Elis's side and screamed, "Elis! Come, now! We need to leave before you get killed too!" "No!" Yelled Elis in reply, "Not without Daddy!" "Elis, he's dead!" The horse rider, appearing to be her mother, picked Elis up and set her on the horse, which looked a blinding white color with a golden mane. It was a very odd horse, indeed it was. But, before the little girl's (named Elis) mother could get a good grip on Elis, she jumped off and grabbed her father's bow and arrows and his belt, where his sword was sheathed, as was his dagger. After Elis had picked up her father's items, her mother picked her up. When they were galloping away, Elis yelled back to her father's corpse, "I will find whoever did this to you! I promise! When I do, I will kill them! I'm coming back for you daddy!" They finaly made it to the safety of a far-away town... Where they now live.
Continued Chapter 1
I'm sorry if I cheesed some of you off with making you wait for a while to put up some more of the 1st chapter. ^-^' But, here's a bit more:

--AS CONTINUED--
Elis finally came back to reality and muttered, "Daddy?"
Tonner looked at Elis really confused like and asked, "What? What's wrong?"
"Let go of me!" Elis said flipping Tonner onto his back and sprinting away as fast as possible.
"Elis!" Tonner moaned, "You don't understand! You must take me to your father immediatly!" Elis stopped and whirled around, her face turning white instantly like she had just seen a ghost.
"What did you just say?"
"I said that you need to take me to your father." Gasping as he slowly got up. She walked a bit towards the forest and turned her head towards him, all business-like now.
"Follow me." Elis jogged over to the horse stable and slowed down, trying not to scare the horses. She got a horse, but not just any horse... It was the horse she and her mother used to escape the arrows. The really odd one. Tonner stared and stared at it.
"You truely are the heir." He whispered.
"Just shut up and follow me." She said, rolling her eyes. "But, you must be cautious. The forest is filled with many dangers. And get your horse." Tonner ran over to his horse and mounted it. Elis mounted her horse and rode into the forest. Tonner followed after her, excited because he was going to finally see her father. They rode until a gray slab stuck in the ground. "Well," Elis said while pointing to the slab, "This is it."
"Where? I can't see him..." Tonner said totally oblivious to the fact that Elis was pointing down.
"Right there! On the ground!" Elis cried. Tonner looked down on the ground and his eyes widened with fear.
"No... No, this can't be." Said Tonner, looking at the writing on the slab. "Where is Mrs. Modai? Is she dead too?"

"Yes. She died over a year ago." Elis said and Tonner looked fretfully at her. "I'm kidding! Sheesh!"
Tonner straightened up, "This is no joking matter. I must see your mother at once!"
"That's what all the guys say to me..." she said, half-laughing.
"Excuse me? Why would they want to see your mother?" Tonner said, very curious now.
"Oh, nothing." Elis laughed and smiled. "Follow me." Elis road out of the forest as quickly as possible and into the village. She got off her horse, as did Tonner, and led her horse to the meadow. She whispered into its ear and the horse neighed as if it was laughing. Elis chuckled and kissed the horse's head. It ran off into the meadow and started chewing on some grass and jumping around. "Her name's Wonder." Elis said, putting Tonner's horse out too. "You won't need him for now."

TO BE CONTINUED...

((So sorry, guys. I've still got a few things to work out with it.))

I like it!

I understand that you're trying to keep it short, though I encourage you using a bit more detail.

It just seems a bit rushed, ya know?
(And yes, I'm referring to both this and the first part of the chapter from the last journal page)
