Emerald Lake: Esmeralda

Prologue
Esmeralda Higgs was reading with her sisters, Beatrice and Sophie. The story was about Emerald Lake, which their village was beside. It also was about Whisper Lake, Mirror Lake, Blood Lake and Sun Lake.

The Higgs family was going to Emerald Lake to wait for Allison Hall, her mother’s friend. Esmeralda hadn’t met Allison before. She was a little nervous but mostly excited.

“Esmeralda! Sophie! Beatrice!” called their mother. “Coming!” they shouted. They put the book back on the shelf and they went downstairs. Outside by the white sand and the lake, there was a brown haired woman.

“This is Allison.” Her mother smiled warmly. The woman didn’t even speak. Esmeralda stared. Allison, whoever she was exactly, wasn’t someone Esmeralda would like. This woman sent shivers down her spine.
