It was three years later and I had been doing much better...at least I thought I was. 

It had just been Cedar's third birthday, she has a beautiful head of the perfect mixure of me and Noah's hair. She had hazel blue eyes. She got the perfect mixture of the best features of us. I wonder if Nova would have been the same.

"Our little girl has grown up so fast, it seems like just yesterday that we saw her for the first time." Noah said

"Yep. Im glad I have her she is everything to me"

I looked up at Noah's beautiful hazel eyes and pecked him on the lips. 

"Mommy!" Cedar came running up to me crying

"What's wrong sweetheart" I picked her up just to realize she had a scraped up knee. 

"Mommy I fell down"

"Here honey, I will take care of it. You seem tired you dont want to get sick. Go lay down i'll be there in a second." Noah took Cedar and took her to the bathroom to clean her cut. 

He was right, he can read me like a book. I had stomach pains, it wasn't uncommon, but this time they were a different type of pain. It was worse.

"Noah!" I stepped out of bed knowing something was wrong.

"NOAH!" I jumped infront of the bathroom just in time to see Noah's shocked face as I collapsed on the ground.

"Emily." I heard Camastesia's voice.

"Emily Wilkins" I heard another familiar voice.

"Camastesia...Is that your sister?" I said almost in a daze.

"Yes, Melennce and I have decided to give you a second chance"

"What?" Just at that moment I drifted off and awoke with Noah's hands around mine. I was in the hospital I had seen many times.

I looked at Noah, he was looking straight forward and looked like he was staring in the face of death or something. I looked over where he was looking and saw Melennce and Camastesia.

"Who the hell are you!" Noah screamed.

"Noah. Calm down" Melennce waved her hand towards him, and he crashed back into his seat.

"How do you know my name!?" He tried to get up but only succeeded at strengthening the magic hold.

"Noah,love, calm down please" I put Noah's trembling hand in both of mine.

"Camastesia, Melennce. What kind of second chance are you going to give us?"

"Here" Melennce handed me an old sheet of paper with faded ink writing.

"Why do we need this?" Noah asked with slight aggravation in his voice.

"Okay you need to shut up" Camastesia waved her hand and a zipper formed on Noah's mouth.

"Dude, not cool" I gave the stare of death to Camastesia.

"Read it Emily."

The Forest of Poison

Hanging from the tree

Blissful

Moss as green as the leaves blocking the sky

Poison to all who touch

All but one

Emily Wilkins

"What is this supposed to mean?" I asked

"Go to the forest, bring Cedar and Noah" Camastesia started "this is a test, if you fail you will be alive forever in a world non existent of anything but you."

"What if I pass?" I asked

"You will receive a gift from us. It is a gift you need to find, that is the test." Melennce looked at all of us "now go" She waved her hands and we were in a forest.
