Episode 1

“Charlotte?” A soft voice called out.

“Mama!” Tears ran down a little girl’s face.

“Charlotte? What’s wrong?”

“I saw a snake!” She pointed towards the forest while still crying.

Her mother pick her up and patted her back, comforting her. “It’s alright, it can’t harm you as long as I’m here.” The warmth from her mother’s embrace calmed her causing her to stop crying.

“I love you mama.” The little girl smiled brightly.

This was her last memory of her mother while she was healthy, beautiful and…alive.

“Mama…” she sat on her mother’s side of the bed, holding her white stuffed bunny.

“Charlotte, don’t be sad. Mommy will always be with us.”

She got up and walked to her bedroom. It’s that sound again, the cry of a clock, tick tock tick tock. It was like the clock knew this house just became more quiet. Charlotte walked past a window where she saw the forest. She dropped her bunny and ran down the stairs to the back door. She took a deep breath and ran into the forest, not even realizing she had no shoes but kept on going until she reached an area that had beautiful scenery. Birds chirped and you could hear that water was nearby. The sun light was shining through the green leaves and a small breeze would come once in a while. On the other side of this scenery she saw another person, a boy who looked around the same age as her. The boy finally noticed her and looked shocked. This boy’s hair was blonde or maybe the color of sand while his eyes were ocean, a deep blue.

“Who are you?” He asks softy.

“My name is Charlotte Young, what about you?” As she introduces herself, she take steps getting closer to him.

“My name? My name is Charles, Charles Luke.” He blushed and tried to cover his face.

Charlotte grabbed his hand and smiled, “it’s nice to meet you Charles.” The little boy smiles and looks down at her feet, “you have no shoes.”

She looks down, “oh? I didn’t even realize.”

“Charlotte! Where are you!” She turns around and see her father, Charlotte the runs into her father’s arms. “Don’t run out like that again, I won’t know what to do if I lose both you and your mother.”

“Papa, I found a boy.” She turned back to point to him but he had disappeared.

“There isn’t anyone here. Let’s go back home.” Her father grabs her hand and they walk back to the house but Charlotte continues to look back wondering where he went. Then she sees his head poking out behind the tree, waving goodbye.” The rest of the day has passed, night has fallen.

“Goodnight Charlotte.” her father kisses her on the head and tucks her in bed. “I love you.” After her father closes the door, she decides to get up and look out her window. She looked up into the sky and gazed at the stars. All she thought about was about the little boy she met today, and hoped they would meet again.
