Hush little baby, don't you cry...

'Welcome, dear child.'

The words continued to appear on her wrist, spilling partway down her arm as if branded there in black ink.

'Those who enter the Hushwood do not leave it. Those who try do not survive it. Reach the center as swiftly as you can, else you shall die.

'There are three things you must remember in order to survive. First, destroy the mirrors. Second, never go near the Child Prisoner. And third, keep the girl in the library alive.'
