when fate is testing you for something greater.'
It was quoted by Ovison Swett Marden.
#
It was past midnight before I finally went to sleep.
(wakes up in middle of night, goes to her mother s room,
and talks about what happened. Mother shows her newspaper
about her kidnapping, she reads it, keeps it, and stuffs it in her
duffel bag)
I had a dream that night. It was a different one this time.
I wished I could remember it, but I don t.
I wished many things, but what is the use? What I
wanted most was for this all a twisted daydream. Like the ones I
dream at night: unrealities, unreal, twisted maybe, but coming
with the comfort knowing that it was all a fragment of my
imagination.
I mean, it should ve been just another myth, a daydream,
a fairy tale, except that I knew it wasn't, because I had wished
too badly for it to come true and it had. I had scars, and
memories, and a rising darkness in my heart that I swore would
be there until the day I died, whether or not there was a single
soul who could tell me otherwise, that everything was all right,
that I was going to be okay. Because I knew that it was never
going to be the same.
The next day, as I picked up the duffel bag I had packed
the night before and left for the very world I had just escaped
from, I could hear tears in my heart trying to escape into the
reality that I knew, I didn t want anymore. But, in the back of
my mind, the words my grandma had scribbled out to me stuck
out and a slight smile crept onto my face as I wondered if fate
was going to give me something greater.

(omit?)
Was she ever going to find a place where a happy ending
was a given? She couldn't believe that it might be a possibility,
but as Arielle Gardner has learned in the past few months,
anything is possible, especially in a world fairy tales are made of.
Her heart had a wavering optimism that maybe everything was
going to be alright. Maybe the worst of it was over. Maybe not.
But one thing she knew for sure: no matter where you are, life is
the same. In an even bigger world of possibility, the possibilities
of life are greater. And those possibilities come both good and
bad. She had already experienced the bad. And by now, she
wondered, was it time for her real fairy tale to unfold?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Channing Wang is a 16-year-old girl who started work on
the first Sinheart novel right before her 16th birthday. Writing is
a passion, but before that came reading books that she didn't
even know the words to.
She lives in Vancouver, Canada, the setting of the main
character in her novel. Sinheart: One is the prologue in a series
of six books. Four of which document Arielle Gardner's years at
Sinheart Academy of Magical Arts, and the last documenting the
months after she graduates. So why did Miss Wang decide to
write fantasy? "Because I've always been interested in magical
worlds, and I truly believe that fantasy is universal and anyone
can relate to it if they have an ounce of imagination."
Channing's hobbies include the obvious (reading and
writing) as well as drawing, eating, and researching.
May the dreams you really wish to come true be yours.
