On strange trails

Chapter 1: Rebellion

"Cora sweetheart. Would you please come down, love?", her mother called from downstairs. "Oh what the hell does she want now?!", Cora thought. But she went downstairs only to find her mother in the kitchen.

What a great traditional woman. Or non-emancipated what I might call it. "Could you please call your father if he could go and buy some things for dinner?", her mother asked. "Yes mom", Cora said and called her father.

"We'll have a soup today", Cora's mother told her. "Oh but not for me. I'm going out with Emily.", Cora told her mother. "Going out? What does that mean? Are you staying at hers?", her mom asked.

"No mom, I mean really going out. Into a restaurant and after that into a club maybe", Cora meant honestly. "Oh no my dear your not doing that! I should really talk to Emily! She has a bad impact on you!". Her mother sounded angry.
"No I am 19, mom! I can do whatever I want!", Cora shouted angrily. Her mother looked away in annoyance.

Cora went upstairs again and took on the most revealing dress she could find in her closet. But that wasn't enough. She cut it even shorter to rebel against her parents. She also took on the heels she bought in secret, since she wasn't allowed to wear those. She put on some makeup and went downstairs.

Her mother gasped when she saw her. "Oh no my dear, you're not going like that! Do you want to reveal every tiny bit of you body?! That's embarrassing for everyone, not only for you! Cover up, now!", she ordered. "You know what?! Fuck you mom! And also dad! You are so 'traditional', it's disgusting!".

"No you are disgusting! How can a woman only have such a lack of self esteem! You're such a disappointment!", her mother shouted. Cora's eyes started to water. She didn't know what to say until her father came in. As he saw her like that he Immediately hit her face.

Cora ran off the kitchen. "You two are crazy!", she shouted. Her father ran behind her and grabbed her wrist. "Let go off me!", Cora screamed and freed herself from her father's grab. She ran out the door and down the street.

It was already dark outside so she had no idea where she was going. She later found herself on a street in a forest. She was lost in the woods. Suddenly she heard a loud thunder coming from the sky and it started to rain. "Fuck!", she yelled.

She started to run again until she saw a huge and scary castle. "How have I never heard of this?", she thought. She entered the front yard. She slowly walked up the stairs leading to the door. She gently pushed the ring button and hoped for someone to open. But no one did.

Than it all came over her. She was done. Exhausted and done. She crashed down next to the door and started crying in desperation. When she suddenly heard the door opening. She looked up from the floor and looked into the eyes of a scary yet sort of friendly looking man.

She got up from her knees and started to talk. "Hello sir. I am Cora Jonson and I'm lost. Could I maybe use your phone and warm myself up a little?", she asked politely. The man with the humpback nodded and let her come in. "You're wet", he said. "No fucking shit", Cora thought. "Yeah it's raining", she said.

When she walked into the castle she noticed how beautiful it was. Everything was so big and vintage. The stairs, the floor covered by expensive looking carpets and the nice pictures hanging on the wall looked so old yet so new. "It's beautiful!", she marveled.

Suddenly she heard some noises and music coming from another room. "I guess you're having a party", she said to the humpbacked handyman. "It's one of the masters affairs", he answered. "Lucky him", she said. "Yeah lucky, we're aaaall lucky", another voice said. Cora noticed a woman sitting on the banister.

Suddenly the humpbacked man started to sing. He guided Cora into a room with lots of people in it. They were dancing and singing. They were dancing a strange dance which they called "The time warp"

Cora was intrigued. The people were wearing strange, colorful suits and looked really out of their minds. Cora thought they might be on drugs or something. She started to move a bit to the beat. The song was really catchy, she had to admit.

When they finished dancing, they fell to the ground, really exhausted. Cora was very confused by the whole situation. She should have felt super uncomfortable but strangely she didn't. Not even a little bit.

Suddenly she saw the people standing up again and looking directly behind her. When she turned around, she noticed that the door she was standing in front of had opened and a lift was coming down to their level. When the door opened she saw a man with curly black hair and a face full of makeup smiling at her.
