Okay, this story is called Hidden in the Dark. It's a historical fiction taking place in England, 1855. ( I've never done a historical fiction before, because I'm not really into them, but it would be a shame to let a decent idea go to waste.) This will probably suck, but here I go anyway.
14-year-old Lorelei's mother, Elouise, died mysteriously when Lorelei was 9, and gave her a special necklace. 5 years later, Lorelei's father, James, got a job with the local gang in order to care for his daughter, but something went wrong, and James ended up in prison. Lorelei, alone in the world, cut her hair short and got a job in the local mines under the name Lawrence. The mines were dangerous enough on their own. But Lorelei's boss, Mr. Blackwood, made them worse. Luckily, Lorelei found friends: Will, John, and Caleb. Caleb noticed something is off with Lorelei, or should I say, Lawrence. Lorelei and Caleb became close friends, and one day, Caleb figured out Lorelei's secret. The two grow closer and eventually fall in love. But there's a lot of evil in the mines, and the friends find out that Mr. Blackwood is more than meets the eye. When a mining tunnel Lorelei and Caleb were in collapses under suspicious circumstances, it's up to the twosome to stop Mr. Blackwood once and for all.
I'm suffering from writer's block, but I posting this anyway, in case I accidently delete it.
Setting: Elouise's grave, late afternoon.
Lorelei and Caleb are visiting Elouise's grave, talking about memories.
Caleb takes Lorelei's hand and looks her in the eye. "I have something to ask you," he says quietly. Lorelei brushes a few strands of hair out of her face and smiles. "What is it?" Caleb takes a deep breath, "I can't imagine living without you, and I want to make more memories. Together. Will you marry me?" Lorelei catches her breath, tears in her eyes. She rushes into his arms. "You don't know how much you mean to me. Of course I will!" They stand there, embracing, a soft breeze blowing through the garden, washing away all the sad memories, and sweeping in the new ones.
