It all starts with a tree.
This tree, dates back to the middle ages. A time of princes and princesses but especially faeries and woodland creatures.
This story isn't for the princes and princesses are evil stepmothers or baronesses, no. This one is for those who are only known for their size, and for not being meaningful.
Modern Day
This tree is hidden in the depths of the backyard forest of a house in Hawkley Valley. Where a girl named Annelise(Annalisa? Annalise, analize) lives with her mother and an older brother and sister. They move into the place after her father goes missing (or something like that).
Character names:
Adrenalina
Olson
Esther

A Missing Girl's Ambitions: Fictional Male
So lately I have been thinking about the male lead character. It's actually so frustrating! He's just as hard to picture as everything else I encounter with fictional males!
Who should he be...
I know he'll be the skater-ish type.
He won't have straight hair like "Justin Bieber"
NO, he will have slightly curly, short hair.
He's not tall.
He really likes plaid clothing.
He listens to independent music.
He's a lost cause.
I'm not sure if he should have something tragic happen to him..
Or if maybe he makes everyone think he's sorry for himself with no cause for grief and anger at all.
He loves his siblings.
He's soft, sensitive
He does have a tough-guy complex (got the idea from my brother)
He's intelligent, computers & arts, music (obviously)
....

Irritation is an understatement at this moment...
Okay, so it`s not that I want to feel this way but I do. I have this inkling that my case is actually psychological, sadly. As much as I would like to deny the fact, I know that something is wrong when I feel irritated in public and completely relaxed in my hotel room. Maybe it`s my subconscious crying out, saying that I need independence in such a beautiful place. That maybe I need to change my view on things and that I`ve finally reached that peak of irritation--like an old lady yearning to be back in her own bed after one nights` stay at their grown child`s home. Of course all of this is ridiculous and overdramatic but if it`s bothering me so much it must be a sign. A sign for something; I haven`t found that out yet. Maybe I won`t "rest" till I do. What an absolute mess! How could such a shy child (me) turn out to be so mellowdramatic (the opposite)?
Set me free!
Set me free!

Borderline Insane?
She's built of sentimental fantasies and far-fetched ambitions. A rebel at heart and coward in mind, but then again we all have things we want to do but never own up to doing. Well, soon enough that was all that filled her mind, the point to shedding tears and the reason she has to pick herself up again in a frenzy of determination. So maybe her personality is predictable and cliche, a little scattered and sorted in the wrong way but also gentle, defensive and intriguing.

A Missing Girl's Ambitions
Plot
15 year-old girl writes all of her goals on her wall behind her headboard. Goals and aspirations whether they be current or long term. She's an orphan lving in a foster home of uptight violent parents and so she hides what she writes behind a headboard so that maybe some day her wishes will come true. The girl's foster mother decides to clean out the girl's room one day while the girl is sent to bible camp. She discovers the girl's writings upon rearranging her bed to vacuum dust. She becomes enfuriated and begins to rip the wallpaper off the wall and shoves it into the garbage. Upon the girl's arrival back home, the mother abuses her and the child is sent to her room. She becomes confused, in tears, when she looks behind her headboard to find a bare wall stripped of her wallpaper...stripped of her dreams. Quickly, alone in her room, the girl devises a plan and decides to escape her mad and unsatifying life and runs away early in the morning. While leaving she finds the wallpaper in the trash and stashes it under a loose plank of wood of her hardwood floor.
Fast forward time 1 year...
House up for sale and sold to a family with three kids. The youngest is 19 years-old. He moves into the girl's old room. While he unpacks boxes of his things to put in his room he drops a guitar pick while pulling out a $5 bill from his pocket. The pick rolls onto the loose plank of wood. He notices this but does not acknowledge it until the next day when he is lying down in bed and drops one of his books and hears the wood creak. Curiously, he peeks his head out to peer underneath the bed and contemplates. The boy removes the plank and fins the wallpaper. He removes the elastic and rolls it out. He reads it skeptically, not sure if he wants to read what is written. He is amazed at the things he reads and the next morning he asks his mother who had lived in the house previously. He researches on his laptop the name of the family and finds a newspaper article of the story of the girl who had gone missing. The date she had runaway was the exact date he discovered the wallpaper, a year later.
The boy is hooked secretly to the missing girl's writings and comes up with the idea of accomplishing her goals. At 19-years old, the boy finds that he has only three more things to finish on her list: Have my wishes come true, Walk in the Fountain of Trevvie, Fall in Love.
Little does he know, while he was fulfilling these goals, executing them so carefully, that the girl who had written them would be doing them on her own. And she was. So close to him as well, but it didn't cross his mind until all of the other insignificant people who were around him while he was following this amazing mission on his own....were narrowed down to nothing when there was just one more left standing. This last one was significant because he finally realized that it was her. He'd been walking around almost following her path but he could feel it and understand her without ever seeing or knowing her. In the moment that they met, all the pieces fell together, and everything else he knew fell apart. He realized that by finishing and succeeding with each goal he was one step closer to succeeding Her. To being her. His skepticism was completely shot and he was overwhelmed by the realization: doing everything for a reason and spending every minute knowing you're building on something creates a positive shift for the bigger picture.
And yep, the story goes on.
