AN: okay so this is based on the Tim burton/Johnny Depp version of sleepy hollow, but most of the plot is based on the sleepy hollow T.V series. But if you're confused on how to picture Ichabod crane, just picture him like the Johnny Depp version. Enjoy!

Sleepy hollow: the return of the hessian horseman

Chapter 1

My name is Sabrina Mayson, I'm sixteen and I live in the most boring town in America. Campbell's town is a small sleepy town, where nothing happens. Ever!

But you probably want to know more about me, I have olive green eyes and curly dark brown hair just above my shoulders. I live with my grandmother, she's a super nice lady, and my parents left me to her when they passed away in a car crash when I was five. I love to read creepy superstition books, my favorites are the really old ones, like sleepy hollow. Ichabod crane is my favorite book character ever. He's a lot like me, I get scared easily and I'm a nervous kid but I was always like that.

It was a cold fall morning as my school bus drove into my local high school, I got off and walked to the old oak tree in the school court yard to meet with my friend, ceria Johnson. She was waiting for me at the tree.

"Hey" she said.

"Hey" I said not taking my eyes off the book I was reading.

She craned her neck downward to read the title. "Sleepy hollow? Again?" she asked a little annoyed.

"I can't help it if I know what books I like" I said rolling my eyes.

"It's not the book you like, it's that guy in it" said ceria "icky crane."

"It's Ichabod crane" I corrected her.

"Whatever girl" she said as we walked into school "but seriously, why can't you just watch the movie like everyone else?"

I laughed.

XxX

Later on in class, I was just starting chapter three, when my teacher Mr. Peterson grabbed the book from my hands.

"Miss Mayson, this is science not English" he said "you may come get your book back at the end of the day."

I gave him a tight smile and nodded.

Great I thought now he has something to read during lunch, but I don't!

I decided since Peterson took away my beloved book, I'd just daydream the rest of the class. I let my mind wonder about what it would be like to live in sleepy hollow. To meet Ichabod crane, to hold his hand, to kiss him. He would be so handsome, I always imagined him with long black hair and deep dark eyes that you could get lost in. He would wear old timey clothes and be so gallant but at the same time scared like a child, so he'd be cute.*sigh* he'd look just like that guy that just walked by my classroom window.

Wait! What?!

I looked at the window again, there was no one there, but I could have sworn I saw a man just like I described in my head.

Maybe ceria's right I have been reading too much sleepy hollow I thought.

AN: ooh! Did Sabrina really see THE Ichabod crane or is she really going crazy? Find out in the next chapter!
