chapter 3 the tale of Mary

As Mary doodled on the leaf in front of her she felt an urge to do something drastic she felt that if she drew in her own blood then maybe she could draw better she carefully poked the tip of her index finger and began to draw an insect we now call a butterfly. "Wow this is very pretty." she said to herself, and walked off to tell her mother. But when she put the leaf down it transformed and turned into the butterfly that she drew. She passed out in fear as I'm sure we all would. Her mother came running in to see what was wrong. She saw the strange creature fluttering around. "What is that?" She proclaimed as she gave her daughter a hand up, "I drew it." stated Mary, "And it just came to life" her mother said, "ha, prove it" so mary drew a long harry version of the creature she had made come to life, but this time without wings, in her blood. Her mother stopped her and asked her to heal her wound but she refused and keep drawing.
when she was done she lay the leaf down on the stump for her mother to see and it came to life Just like before. her mother gasped and said that Mary's power was very strange and that she should only use it in an emergence. Mary then stated the obvious and said that she could create new forms of life she could draw herself a mate or even a new creature she was already thinking of. Her mother told her to sleep witch she tried, but did not succeed. So she got up and picked another leaf. "One more can't hurt" she said, so she drew the new creature with an upper body and four separate branches and hands and feet with 5 toes and fingers each with 3 sections. she drew a head matching her own but with less pointy ears and a symmetrical head the creature she created, was a human. she put the leaf down and waited for it to turn alive. it did not.
she woke up in a daze thinking why she had such an odd dream. or was it a dream she asked herself. she went out to ask her mother if she could make things out of her blood but decided not to and told her about the new creature she drew in her dream instead. She said that they varied just like doques and that they could walk and talk and everything. Her mother laughed and said she had a very creative mind and said she should go search for food so she did she walked in the woods aimlessly until she saw something, she's only seen this once before in a dream, a dead, human? "i thought that humans were fake i just made them up i didn't think that" said mary startled, "well" said Mary's mother trying to keep her surprise down as not to startle her daughter, "i guess they are." mary looked at her mother as if she were going insane (which she was along with mary) She just shut down she didn't know what to do how could she keep such a large secret. she couldn't she had to tell all the other doques. So she did she told ever doque that if they wrote on a leaf in their own blood that they could create things that were wonderful brilliantly things. and they believed her for once this seemed easy she could actually talk without being told otherwise. She knew something and now everyone believed her. So they all tried it they all made beautiful things but some created, other things
