Deep Roots - Amerigo Pinelli
You tried to get away, but you couldn’t help returning to this odd little town. Every time you wandered, you stumbled onto its streets. It sits along the highway, and off the beaten path. It’s in the depths of a forest, and in the middle of a desert. It’s surrounded by mountains, and balanced on the edge of a deadly cliff. It’s the place where weird things happen, where the unreal becomes real.
Welcome back to RAVENS PASS. It’s been waiting for you.
A full moon shines behind ravens perched on a twisted tree. Mountains are in the background. Fog fills the scene.CHAPTER 1
A STRANGE NEW LIFE
Xenia left her new home at 221 Juniper Street that morning, glad it was the end of her first week at school. Being the new kid was the worst.

Xenia walked down the first of many tree-lined streets toward school. As she rounded the corner, she saw her again.
As she walks, Xenia looks over at a girl leaning against a tree on the other side of the street. The girl stares back.It was the strange red-haired girl with the nose ring, who always wore dark green clothes. She was leaning against a tree. She was staring at Xenia.
Xenia frowned. Each morning, she had noticed that girl waiting there. When Xenia passed by, the girl followed at a distance till they reached school. Xenia had also noticed how the girl sat alone at lunch and barely spoke to anyone. But whenever Xenia glanced over, the girl was staring at her.
What does she want? Xenia wondered. There was one way to find out.
She walked up to the girl. She gave a big, friendly smile and said, Hi, I’m Xenia.
After all, Xenia had nothing to lose. She probably wasn’t going to be in Ravens Pass for long. Dad always seemed to get transferred just as she felt comfortable in a new place.
"Uh,
