Dear Future Olive,

Hey! it is I your past self, If you're somehow reading this how are you, what's up? I hope you're doing well. Life is ok for me and I hope it is still doing the same for you. I just wanted to let you know that you shouldn't give up, even when things get bad remember to be kind to others. Don't let anyone put you down. And try to stay positive. Things might not be so good now but they'll get better. That is also for anyone else who is reading.
Currently it's November 2nd right now and I'm doing my first Swc Daily.
Now for my goals I want to complete this session of Swc:
For number one,
I wish to improve my writing skills during this Swc. I want to be able to make good story plots and characters Books that bring people joy. I also wish I am able to complete my 7k words without too much trouble, like for example rushing to complete it in the last few days or stressing over it. I also want to improve my grammar or my writing style? I know its fine but I still want to be able to write/speak formally like being able to use uncommon words no one knows the meaning to.
Secondly,
I want to make friends here. I shall make it my goal to talk to at least 10 people during this Swc. And so when the next Swc comes along I'll already have some friends and not be as clueless as I am now.
I also hope we help out our cabin Folklore as best as we can.
If you're reading this Future me I hope you fulfill these goals, if you do present me thanks you
Anyways for summary I just hope I get better at my writing skills, grammar and making friends. There's not much else to say except have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Don't let Santa Clause break into your home and steal the cookies>

7 years ago

It was a cloudy day, during the end of Autumn. Theodora shivered as the cold breeze slipped into her clothes. Theodora hated winter. Theodora stared at the trees, their leaves were turning orange, brown and yellow. She frowned “they look better green,” she said.
“hey Thea!” a voice said to her she turned her head around trying to locate where the voice came from she looked at the house across the street from her, it turned out to be her neighbour's kid Ellie, Ellie was just about her age and they were kinda friends. “Hey Thea wanna play?” Thea nodded and then Ellie took her into her front yard they started playing with sticks pretending to be knights in training.
It was all fun and games until Ellie slipped on a leaf and tripped while she was falling. She must've accidentally thrown the stick in shock because it headed straight for Theodora's eye. Thea couldn't react quickly enough to avoid the stick. The stick hurtled into her eye and pierced it. She felt tremendous pain and fell to the floor crying. “Th-thea?” Ellie said, moving Thea's arm away from her eye.
“What happened!” Ellie screamed, tearing up.
Thea was too overwhelmed to say anything and just cried feeling the blood trickle out of her eye. “don't worry, I'll help you!” Ellie said, running into her house. Great, I thought, she left me. I tried to keep calm by taking deep breaths. I was still crying so my vision was blurry. but I swear I saw a white owl staring at me in the trees.
it came closer everywhere it stepped becoming snow.
Thea managed to calm herself down but was still taking deep breaths. The owl was now in front of her and Thea could see clearly “w-what are y-you?” Thea stammered trying to get away from it, the owl stared at her for a second with those blue eyes then opened its mouth and said “I am here to help you child,” Thea's eyes widened “What?” The owl seemed to smile, “I am a winter spirit in the form of an owl.”
the winter spirit's eyes started glowing and Thea felt less pain from her eye. Thea opened her mouth to thank the winter spirit but Ellie quickly rushed outside with her mom behind her. The owl stared at Thea for half a second before disappearing.
Thea couldn't remember much after that, only that the owl had tried to help her. No one believed her of course but looking back Theodora had learned that winter wasn't always bad.
The owl had helped her. For the next few years Theodora would sometimes still see that owl and got reminded by the incident. Now winter was her favourite season.
Every year she looked forward to it every single year hoping to see the Winter spirit again.

“no child of course not” she finished and held out her hand. “come on I shall lead you” the boy got up confused. “To where?” he said. “To the afterlife” Amisa responded.

Donnie placed a target on a tree and grabbed her bow and arrow. her sister was playing in the grass behind her. she reached for her arrow. Donnie loved Archery. it was satisfying, calming. And it had helped her through the hard times. She shot the arrow it landed in the outskirts of the target. I was still new to archery then don't blame me!
She sighed removed the arrow from the target and sat down next to the tree. Ok maybe archery was hard sometimes but she still loved it. She stared at her bow some silly kids and painted on it. She grabbed some wipes and cleaned it. her bow gleamed in the afternoon light after 30 long minutes she had finished cleaning it.
If anyone else touched her bow she MIGHT just end them.
“Come on Donnie lets go!” her sister whined. They got up and left the park.

That's when it hit her Tulip was gone. “TULIP?” she called when there was no answer she knew Tulip was missing. “Oh no.. Mom and Dad, they must be so disappointed in me!” she said, tugging on her hair. She looked everywhere a second time.
Donnie you have to look in the forest.. a voice said, Tulip is in the forest.

Donne gave her the arrow “Just try one more time.” she said. Tulip stared at her “This is like the on millionth time” Donnie smiled “actually its only the 16th.”
Tulip gave Donnie a look before trying again. This time she focused on the target was trying to get it in the center. When she shot the arrow it hit the target near the outskirts but it was closer than Donnie's first try. “Good job Tulip!” she said Tulip beamed happily.
“Do you want to try again?” Donnie asked.

Part 4

Donnie ran into the woods she needed to find Tulip. Usually she avoided the woods but this was a different case. She was holding her bow in one hand. She was walking through the bush and the thickets seeing things like bugs and insects. “Just keep on walking” she said trying not to scream when a caterpillar was walking up her arm.
She put it on a leaf and brushed her hand on her clothes. She stared at the Caterpillar for a second then she kept on walking. she heard a stick crack “Oh great time to get eaten alive” she muttered. Donnie looked at the ground and saw a rope. Not falling for that, Donnie thought.
she stepped over the rope but that turned out to be a trap “AAaaAaAa” she screamed the was upside down and about 5 feet from the ground. Luckily she was still holding her bow. “I'm not ready to be eaten by a tribe of cannibals” she wailed then a figure stepped out of the bushes.
“A tribe of cannibals? You have some imagination.”
Donnie felt a surge of rage “Where is my sister?” she shouted.
“Oh your sister? That's who that little squirt was?” The boy said, “We had her for breakfast.”
The gleam in the boy's eye was the only thing telling Donnie that the person was toying with her “Stop lying tell me where she is!”Donnie said “Fine then” the boy said.
the person snapped and the rope broke. Luckily Donnie didn't hit the floor headfirst. “I'll tell you where she is,” the boy said. “Okay!” Donnie said a little to hopefully. The boy used this as an advantage “But you have to give me that bow..” Donnie held her bow protectively. Come on Donnie do it, she thought.
“Fine” she handed the bow. The person smiled then Donnie realised the person wasn't going to give her information. She quickly snatched the bow back. But the boy held on to it. The rage inside her flared “Tell me where Tulip is” the person kept on smiling Donnie held the arrow in her hand ready to throw it “I-i'll fight you” Donnie stuttered The boy laughed “There is no point for empty threats we both know very well the last thing you're doing is fighting me.”
Donnie surprised herself and him by throwing it.
she instantly felt bad but she needed answers “I need information” she said pointing an arrow to him “maybe you can start with your name” the person opened their mouth but then she heard a familiar voice “Tulip?” she said, dropping the arrow and running towards the voice. Luckily it was her sister she ran towards her Donnie stopped running when she was in front of her. “What were you thinking?” she said “Someone told me to go to the forest..” Tulip responded.
“What..?” Donnie decided to not think much of it. They went home though when Donnie tried to apologise the boy had disappeared. “Huh… what?” Donnie was confused, but she also brushed it off and they went home.

“dear diary, today I finally figured it out.” I scribbled down in my notebook. It was the last thing I needed, I had finally found the last thing to add to my creation. I set my notebook down and grabbed a screwdriver.
“hm… done!” I said happily looking at my small creation. it was a little robot with two legs. “ok now lets turn you on” I said to myself I pressed the on button and watched as it came to life. “yes it worked!” I said happily. “I shall call you Australis!” the little robot fell off the desk.

Mr Winchester opened the letter assigned to him. he opened the letter, this is what it read:


November 27th 1890

Dear Mr Winchester,
I am a regular customer at your cafe. Call me Ms Pip or Rose.
I am writing this letter to you because I need you to do me a favor.
If your considering send a letter back.
Trefoil
Ms Pip

Mr Winchester sighed. He had seen Ms Pip around many times actually. But people would always say you would never want to get tangled into her drama. You'd regret it. Mr Winchester decided to look past that. Maybe Ms Pip wasn't as bad as some people said. He grabbed a quill and started writing.

Ms Pip waited all week for a response but when the letter finally came she was ecstatic.

December 5th 1890

Dear Ms Pip,
Thank you for informing me. I have decided I shall listen to your idea,
But please note if the favor is too dangerous or pointless I will not agree.
Mr Winchester

Of course he had to do that! Rose thought. She wanted revenge on her sister. All the time her sister got all the attention. All the praise and she was just left in the shadows. A side character to her own story. No matter what Mr Winchester said this revenge was going to make her miserable this Christmas.

December 11th 1890

Dear Mr Winchester,
Thank you for agreeing. My sister is announcing something big soon on Christmas Eve.
I want to announce something right after to take the attention of her.
Then we humiliate her. I'll need your help for that part.
but please note that this is top secret.
Indian Pink
Ms Pip

Mr Winchester was horrified he would quickly right a letter saying no. How could that nice lady he saw almost everyday be so cruel?

December 17th 1890

Ms Pip,
I decline. this is horrible.
why would you do that to your sister?
please do not write to me again
hellebore
Mr Winchester

Ms Pip was angry and crumpled up the note. She didn't deserve this! But she needed Mr Winchester. her sister was fond of him and if he was in on the revenge it would hurt her even more.

Mr Winchester
please help me I really need your help.
I promise you she deserves it!
I'm your close friend you'd do anything for a close friend right?
I hope you come to your senses and agree.
Sunflower
Ms Pip

Mr Winchester crumpled any notes he got from Ms Pip but he was getting lots of them. But just before Christmas he got a job offer. the job came with a house and he accepted it. it wasn't tp far from him old house so he didn't have to restart.

But Ms Pip was unaware of this.

Prompt: these pages still smell like smoke. and i hate it.

“ these pages still smell like smoke. and i hate it.” You say as you flip through the pages of the book. “Is it burning?” you asked yourself flipping through the pages again but no matter how many times you looked there was nothing. You placed the book back into its shelf and grab another one. “This one also smells like smoke” you say flipping through the pages looking for a cause.
But then you see something its shining like gold.

tw (death)

I opened my eyes I felt distant from the earth. The earth was my sister. My name is Theia. I could hear a loud commotion outside maybe it was all of planets talking. The sound hurt my ears I want to go back inside my cave. I turned around and pushed the rock out of the entrance before I could enter I felt an hand hold my wrist I turned around to see Earth.

“Sister please come we haven't talked as much” she pleaded.

I protested at first but then I gave in and followed. Us, the other planets and the moons were walking peacefully on the grass. Earth was talking to me about her day but I wasn't paying to much attention. I could feel something was wrong. I wanted to go back to my cave. My cave was safe. This was not safe. While we were walking something crashed nearby it was a meteorite. I knew there was more, bigger ones coming. “We need to leave” I said. Another meteorite hit the planet Earth fell to the ground.

I could see more motors in the sky coming down to earth quickly. Earth was being affected because this was her planet and she was on it. we moved quickly and tried exiting the planet.

But we were to late the meteors fell to quickly and to much. Many moons had already died and it was going to be my turn to. I held my forehead to try and stop the blood from coming out but there was to much.

“Theia please don't die” I smiled and then closed my eyes

prompt: in a world of black and white, you would be red.

time: 4 minutes

In our world, everything was basic. Black and white. It was peaceful that way. Thats hwta the government said anyway.
But sometimes there is a small chance that a child is born with colour. These people are called “reversence” Im red.
The reverscence are not normal people. They are said to have been descended from gods. Reverscence are feared
and i guess you could say respected.
Red reverscence is one of the most rare colours. They tend to have abilities that are related to manipulating the enviroment around
them. I can manipulate blood. Hey bloods red! But i guess you already knew that. As soon as i could walk i was sent to a boarding school
specifically made for our kind. Theres around 8 other colours. The most common is green. the rarest is purple. Red is close behind.


Wish i could explain more about it but. i didnt get to much time XD
