Hey everyone! So, all you Ranger Apprentice writers out there know me as Guest Ranger Robbin. I finally got an account and I have had this idea in my head for a while and I want to see how it turns out. Now this is the first story I have EVER written so please no flames but constructive criticism is very welcome. I am posting the first chapter and probably won't post another until I get some feedback so here goes…

Disclaimer: No, I sadly do not own anything belonging to John Flanagan. Such as the Ranger's Apprentice books. I don't own any of the other books mentioned either.

Jaylinn, or as her friends called her, Jay, lived a relatively normal life. She went to school, came home, and did school work. In her free time, she read. She read all kinds of books, Lord of the Rings, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, the 39 clues, anything she could get her hands on but her favorite had to be the Ranger's Apprentice books. She loved them so much. She had read the series several times over and when she heard that there was going to be a 12th book she danced around and sang for most of the afternoon. On the outside she seemed like just a normal 14 year old girl, but on the inside, she was depressed.

You see, Jay didn't have many friends, the people who were her friends she didn't get to see very often. So, Jay spent most of her time in trees reading and listening to music. She was a great climber and she took martial arts. Specifically, MMA (mixed martial arts) and she was pretty good at it too. She was also great at unseen and unheard movement. So, most of the day people didn't even know where she was and she could be by herself. Jay liked being by herself. In fact, most of the time she wore black or grey so she wouldn't stand out. She definitely kept to herself. At night Jay would lay in her bed and dream of being a Ranger in the books. She prayed every night that she would wake up in the books. The dream never happened of course. She would wake up in the morning still in her room.

It was a normal day; Jay got up and dressed in camouflage cargo pants, her black combat boots, and a black three –courter length sleeve shirt. This was her favorite outfit, baggy pants that tucked into her boots and a fitted shirt. Not a body squeezing shirt, just fitted. She grabbed her back pack and started to run out the door for the bus when she realized that it was Saturday. She smiled at that concept and ran to her room to find her survival pack. It had everything that she would need in it if she ever got lost in the woods. She always took it out with her when she went to tromp in the forest behind her house.

Finally out in the woods Jay stood up to her full 5 foot 11 inches and grabbed onto an oak branch above her head. She swung herself onto the branch and scrambled into the tree. She found a sizable branch and sat down. She swung her survival back pack off her shoulders and hung it in a branch next to her. It was a tan backpack but it camouflaged well with the tree so no one would be able to find her. She reached into her back pack and pulled out her sketch book to draw some. She was an exceptional artist and her favorite thing to draw was the rangers. Jay's drawings always looked lifelike. After a few minutes of that, she took out the 9th book of the Ranger's Apprentice books and started to read it again. Even though it was cumbersome, she would always carry around all 11 books with her. She opened the book and started to read but for some reason she got very drowsy and soon her eyes shut and she fell asleep.

Jay woke up to the feeling of falling; she snapped her eyes open and realized she was falling to the ground. She desperately tried to grab for her bag but it also came loose and it fell with her. She had been sitting about 30 feet off the ground and that was a long fall. She reached out and tried to grab onto branches but she just kept falling. Her hair streamed behind her and she screamed as she watched the ground get closer and closer and right as she was about to hit, she blacked out.

So this is the chapter. I know it is not the best but again it is the first time I have ever written a story so I hope you guys liked it!
