In the time when The Good Witch and Wizard passed to the other world, their children were prodigies. Their were seven of them, and they were very competitive to make a name for themselves. The first of the seven to make a name for herself was Lori. She spent her childhood in the mysterious woods surrounding her family's summer house. She wandered with her harp, playing music to the animals, and plants. The woods seemed to thrive during these summers in ways that could not be explained. As she grew into a young woman, she got along well with her siblings, always trying to solve disputes. Her music soothed them into resolving numerous debates. She realized this gift could help the world.
She set out on a path one day in the woods and backpacked her way all throughout Europe, until she came to Italy. She loved this location best! She was visited by her sister, Ella, and her brother, Alec, often. They stayed a while and listened to her many ambitions. Soon they moved back to their summer home, and Lori missed them. As she was draining her glass, sitting on the Spanish Steps in Rome, eating a pastry, she took out her harp and started playing. She played a favorite of hers, Amazing Grace. Her mother sung it to her in the cradle, and she always remembered it, especially after her mom passed. She missed her mother a lot! As she played on, someone threw her some change on the steps she sat on. Then another and another. She looked up when she sensed a young man staring at her. She stared back at him with the same gaze he gave her. Then she turned her head ignoring him. He was cute! She twirled a strand of her blonde highlights. Soon she received a tap and she turned around. He was smiling at her, replying, "I love the tune you were playing, let me hear it again." She did as he told, and he gave her a round of applause. "Where did you learn to play?" He asked. "Natural ability," Lori replied. He was stunned at her answer, and grinned; laughing. "I'm not lying," she said raising her voice. "I know", he replied. She started spending more time with this stranger. She felt drawn to him. He never stated his name when she asked a dozen times. Lori didn't give hers either; something her father taught her.
As she spent more time with Mr. Nameless, she lacked time to play the harp.She knew this wasn't good to stop playing. On one of their dates, she saw a gleam in his eyes that wasn't there before. He was talking about running away together, but something didn't fit too well with that statement."I decline!" she said, boldly. He looked hurt, but she explained her music was important to her, as well as her family. No elaborations on their history, of coarse! She walked away happy that night and played her harp all night long. She was free to pursue her ambitions! Soon, though, she realized the feeling of being followed,so she went underground. She died her blonde hair, a deep red, and turned her brown eyes into screaming purple, with some ancient magic. Things were quiet for a while as she performed for a promising band in Tuscany. She loved it, her music helped them become BIG in the music industry.
So as she strolled the rolling hills after a practice session one day, she was grabbed from behind, and kidnapped. She knew his touch so well! She concentrated on a distant location in her mind, and vanished, quickly. Mr. Nameless, held tight, and went along with her for the ride. She knocked him off but it wasn't that simple. So when she ended up in Japan, she kicked him rudely, and transported herself back to Tuscany. She struggled to catch her breath. He'd always hunt her! She needed to do something, and NOW! She concentrated again, changing her shape until what was in her place was a tree. she realized she was stuck, and realized the mistake. She had wanted to wipe her trace so bad. He wouldn't find her now, with her towering branches, and her delicious apples hanging from her boughs. She sent a image to Ella and Alec telling them where she was. Hopefully they could reverse what she'd done to herself, and warn the rest of their sibling about Mr. Nameless.
To Be Continued!
