Transported into Another Dimension

Chapter 4 ~ Cave of Memories

Ella saw black and white spirals, then bright flashing colors. She winced. What was that?!

Suddenly, she landed with a thump. Everything went black.

Voices echoed through Ella's ear. She was afraid. What was happening? She tried to find Sarah, she stretched her arms and shouted, calling Sarah's name.

"Sarah! Sarah! Where are you?" she called out.

Finally, her eyes fluttered open. But she did not see Sarah, but she saw a beautiful lady wearing a silver sparkling gown, and misty blue hair. She carried a white staff and had sapphire eyes.

"W-who are you?..." Ella. Her voice echoed. She realized she was inside a cave.

The lady smiled, she was quite young, "I'm the Witch of Memories, I see that you have fallen into the cave." She had a strange foreign accent.

"Where...am I?" Ella asked, she looked around the cave. She gasped. The cave walls and ceilings had crystals sticking out of them.

"The Cave of Memories, little one, it's very well known."

Ella remembered that she had fallen into the composition notebook...but.-

"Am I in the story we wrote?!" Ella said, jolting up from sitting down.

The Witch looked confused, "What do you mean?"

"Never mind..." Ella said. She's the Witch of Memories! The one Sarah created! She thought.

The Witch smile faded, "Come, there is great trouble ahead..your friend has been captured,"

Ella was confused and scared at the same time. What would happen to Sarah?...is she dead? But that couldn't be..

The Witch lead Ella to a dark passageway. There were crystals sticking out from the sides of the cave, and inside them were memories. Bad memories and good memories, sad memories, angry memories, and much more.

"How do you know where my friend is?" Ella asked, eyeing the witch suspiciously.

"She fell in here too but got carried away by goblins," she replied calmly.

Ella was shocked. Goblins?! Oh, no it's my fault I created them...

They both quickly walked into the darkness, and a faint sunshine greeted them. It was blocked by a large canopy of thick, green trees.

"Wow..this is Gremlin Woods isn't it?" Ella said, as she saw the forest.

The witch raised an eyebrow, "You know? Thought you were new here?"

Ella scratched her head, "Well...erm...so, you know how I fallen in here?"

"Yes? You came from a portal. Your friend did too, I assume she is your friend?"

"Well, you see, we created this world."

The witch had a blank expression, "What?" she asked, "I don't know what you mean.."

Ella thought for a minute before responding, "Look," she started, "Me and my friend, her name is Sarah, by the way, wrote this book. We created this world!"

"Ah, I see. I will believe you under one condition. Any proof?"

Ella hesitated, "Uhm...well...your staff is made out of willow wood?"

The witch's sapphire eyes glowed, "I believe you. No one ever knew-"

"Come on! We need to find Sarah!" Ella interrupted.
