The Hidden Path of the Ancient Warriors

by Janet Holmes

Christine hasn't been back to her hometown of Willow Brook Park for ten years, but she went back to bury her mother on January 2nd. Her mother was a very distinguished person in town because of her wealth and influence. Willow Brook Park was a very quaint but beautiful town with many weeping willow trees planted strategically all over town, but Christine will soon learn the emphasis of these trees and their being. She always felt as if she was the odd ball in the family, yet she was very beautiful. The indirect rejection from her mother was preparing her for her transition, unknowingly to her, and she never really got along with the rest of her siblings except for her sister Rita. That's what kept her away for so long, but soon all of her siblings will find out that their mother left everything to Christine in the will.Christine's birthday was coming up in a few days (January 4th) which was the same timing of the rare 100-year New Moon phenomenon. Strange supernatural occurrences began to happen to her days leading up to her birthday which had her perplexed. Wondering if she is going crazy, she will soon find out the magnitude of what's happening to her and what she finds out will blow her mind...
