Runa's Life In An New World

Prologue

                                 Prologue

       Miraculously appearing out of nowhere.

The stone floor beneath me was cold to the touch yet beautifully smooth and circular mosaic'd patterned all around it. My bare feet felt the small grooves from below as the cold traveled up into my legs. The air around was crisp, bringing upon slight shivers, though there was barely any wind.

I sat surrounding with quite a few others, male and female. Some crying and screaming. A few daring enough were walking around trying to assess the situation.

I decided to take the wait and see approach. After all being home one minute and then just magically appearing upon some ancient stone floor out of nowhere was a first in my life experience.

I know I should be panicking, freaking out or doing something other them what I was doing but I wasn't. I wanted to say I felt numb, but nope, I wasn't. Quite a large part me felt this was a surreal moment, though not a dream as I know for sure I hadn't fell asleep. The other part of me was quite logical, well as logical as one could be when you just appear somewhere instantly.

I think we'd been here for about fifteen minutes or more, the first five minutes took me to settle down from the sudden teleportation, I'm assuming as it was almost instantaneous, give or take a few seconds of tumbling. It was like I tripped down the stairs, missing a few steps, stumbling till I got my footing and landing on the stone floor, vertigo hit instantly, everything around me felt unstable. My legs quivered as if the the ground was unstable, falling to my knees to stabilise myself. My sight wasn't much better. It was as if I'd stared at the sun to long and black spots had covered my vision. Blinking rapidly to get rid of the sun's shadow and settle my sight. All I could hear was the blood rushing to my head, the noise around me was secondary and not a concern. I felt I'll as if I'd come of a rollercoaster and my insides were jumbled up, my stomach wanted a release and my gag reflex erupted yet nothing came up.

Someone had knocked into me knocking me of my hands and knees and slamming my elbow on to the hard floor. The hit to funny bone sobered me up and settled my insides. The pain gave me something to focus on with all I was feeling. Rubbing at it to ease the sensation. Everything was real. Where I was before wasn't where I was now. There was no carpet under me, no walls surrounding me, nor could I hear my family members voices. It wasn't warm,like it usually would be with the radiators on. I was outside on some old stone floor which seemed to be forty feet wide or longer.

There was a line of trees off to the left and a open path on the right. It was night earlier and now it seemed to be afternoon.

I walked around for a bit but then sat back down on the floor, near the back. In front of us, much further along seemed to be a large mansion, neatly trimmed headges and stonework footpaths with small flowered alined alongside seemed to lead towards it.

I was sure someone would be arriving sooner or laterfrom that direction. How could they miss the twenty or so people who had arrived out of nowhere. Seemingly form nothing. If they could miss that, I'm sure they would be able to the noise of said gathered people.

I had no clue where I was or how I got here, as did the as the others from they're questions and hysterics. It was best to wait and see to get some answers. Erring on the side of caution I decide to stay at the back incase it was a case of some bizzare kidnapping stunt or something more sinister. Best to be careful in such a situation. I could run off towards the trees in a an instant. Even if I wasn't the fastest runner, I could get away safely, hopefully. Health wise I was in with poor condition, barely exercising or eating healthy. It wasn't that I was overweight. Living on tea mostly didn't give nearly enough nutrients as the body needed, hardly any, well depending on the tea. I would get a side stitch from running a quater of a lap. So being optimistic and hoping adrenaline would get me out of a sticky situation, if it did end up that way.
