Write a reviewGood start! Poor Candy, though. But the character is written for the readers to emphatize with, so good job with that. I hope I can see her be strong for herself. Also watch your tenses, pick if you'll use past or present. Overall a lovely start of a good story.
This is a very nice beginning which is able to hook the reader right off. I like the setting and your descriptions are vivid. There are some places which need some edits but otherwise this is a good story. Good work!
the four chapters are awesome and make you want more, will this story be completed? I really hope so, I'm so disappointed that the story is so short
