(Previous chapters 1-15 are available here.)
Beatrix and Arthur walked through the cold, dark woods. They needed to find the red door, so they could return back to her world. A small branch snapped in the woods ahead. Beatrix grabbed Arthur’s hand tightly. Arthur watched a small shrub rustling ahead. Out jumped a little furry creature. Its fluffy fur bounced as it hopped away. “It’s just a spertle” said Arthur. Beatrix relaxed her grip, but continued to hold his hand as they walked. The warmth he emitted gave her a sense of calm. She felt safe with him.
They continued on their journey through the forest. The moonlit sky began to cloud over. Raindrops fell to the ground slowly, and grew into a downpour. Arthur looked over, and Beatrix smiled. Her smile grew into laughter. Arthur’s warm red eyes gleamed back at her. Their clothes were drenched. His dark hair was washed sleekly flat on his head by the pouring rain. Puddles formed on the ground as they walked; they splashed through them as they went. As they continued through the trees, the temperature dropped and Beatrix began to shiver. The air was freezing. She began to shake. Arthur looked over at her. Each breath she took emitted a small cloud of fog into the night air.
“Are you ok?” asked Arthur concerned.
“I’m-m f-fine” Beatrix replied shakily.
Her whole body trembled. Arthur took her by the hand, and they walked to a large tree nearby. The tree’s leaves above sheltered much of the rain from the ground below. Arthur and Beatrix rested next to the tree. Beatrix shivered wildly. Arthur wrapped his arms around her, and held her tight. She felt the warmth of him next to her, and her shaking slowly began to fade. She rested her head on his shoulder. Arthur tilted his head, and pressed his cheek against hers. The warmth he emitted calmed her. Her eye lids grew heavy, and she slowly fell into a deep sleep.

You should also format this into a Kindle book when you are finished as well.
