We were the Family, but we weren't just an ordinary family. There was me — my name is Green — and my little sister, Blue. There was October, who we called Toby, and Ellensia, Dylan, Liberty, Pet and Egg. There was Richard and there was Freya. We were close to the ancient way of living and the ancient landscape. We knew the moors, and the standing stones. And we had Foxlowe, our home, where we were free. There really was no reason for anyone to want to leave.
