~•☆•~The Window~•☆•~

    "This is crazy!" Moving back in front of the shimmering window.   Something caught my eye on the other side.  A strange little bird is hopping around on the forest floor.   It is unlike any bird I have ever seen though.   Bright green with a red head.  Its wings seemed longer then they should be almost dragging on the ground. Its tail is almost as long as the entire body of the bird, with red and green flowing feathers.   It is absolutely beautiful.  It jumped around a bit. Moving leaves with its beak looking for bugs I guess. 
  
     I shifted a bit from one foot to the other.

The little bird suddenly stopped and started staring right at me.  Turning its head from side to side looking with curiosity. 
   
    I froze, holding my breath like it would help me become invisible.   It obviously did not work.  A few seconds later the little bird suddenly bolted right at me.  Coming through the window and aiming right for my head.   It started pecking the top of my head hard.  

  "Ahhhh!!    Get away!.. Get away!!"   I yelled.  Throwing my hands up and ducking down. Swinging my arms wildly in the air like a swarm of bees was attacking.  

    One of my swings landed and knocked the little bird to the ground a few feet away.  That was when I noticed it was glowing!  The little bird got up shaking its head, chirping rather loudly at me.  Probably telling me off in bird talk.. who knows. 

  The little bird suddenly gave up and flew off into the dark forest around me leaving a trail of green glowing light behind it.  I could hear it chirping loudly in the night

     "Well that was not weird at all."  not trying to hide my sarcasm at all.

     I turned back to the window and watched it again..  looking at it like a two headed cow might bolt through it at any moment.   

     There is no more movement on the other side.. just the swaying of the trees in the breeze.     I stood there for a few more minutes watching the other forest.  

  Looking up at the moon to see what time it is.  Figuring I had about another hour before I had to start back to be home when Jillian returned.   
  
  "I should have enough time to go look around for a few minutes"  I mumbled to myself.    

Stepping up to the window I stuck my hand through again and wiggled it around before pulling it back out. Then I start to put one foot in.  Getting my leg halfway in before i pulled it back suddenly.  I Started shacking my hands at my side and walking in a little circle.  

  "Okay... you can do this Vellanora.  Dont be a chicken..  just do it!"    I stopped walking..  closed my eyes.. held my breath and stepped all the way through.   The intense cold only lasted a few seconds.

     I opened my eyes when I felt the warmth of the sun on my skin.   I look around letting my breath out in a huff.  Forgetting I was holding it in.   I breathed in a few more times.  The air smells different.   It has that clean fresh smell like right after a rain.   I could smell sweet flowers on the air.  Turning around I looked back through the window at where I came from.  Looking into the dark forest.     

"This is so strange." I mumbled to myself. Something was off about this place.   I could not place my finger on just what it was though.

     looking around me at the top of the trees.  I see the sun off to my left.  Scanning the sky I freeze.  Almost right above my head is what looks like another sun? 

"Two suns?  That is not possible!  Where the hell am i?"  the sounds around me got a bit clearer.  It took me a second to realize that the crackling noise had stopped. 

     Spinning around I look for the window but it was gone.    "No!!..No!!..No!!.. No!!...No!!!!" Yelling out into the forest as I start to panic.  

     "This can not be happening!  Jillian is going to kill me if I dont get back in time!"  My breathing gets faster and I start to get light headed.   Dropping to the ground hard on my butt, placing my elbows in my knees and covering my face with my hands.  I can feel a panic attack coming on and I need to get it under control.  

     " Breath!  In.........And out.... calm down. You can figure this out" whispering to myself.   I repeated this about three more times till I could feal myself calming down and my breathing returning to normal.

    After a few minutes of just sitting there I finally willed myself to get back up.  Brushing the dirt and leaves off of my pants. Spinning in a slow circle to take in my surroundings.  

     "Trees...trees...and oh look suprise.. more trees!" Throwing my hands in the air with frustration.  

     Shacking my hands at my sides again and walking In a small circle i started going through my thoughts aloud.  Comforted a bit in hearing my own voice.  "Why am I so stupid sometimes?   I should of just stayed on my side of the window and told Jillian about it when I got back.    She would of been pissed that I went out alone but at least she might of known what to do and I would not be stuck here! Wherever here is?" Throwing my hands in the air and looking at the treetops.  I start walking in my small circle again.

     "Okay, Think!  What should I do?"

    
    Sighing heavily I stop pacing. "Bring the window back of course." Rolling my eyes at myself.  Wondering why my brain did not think of that from the start.

     I concentrated on getting my magic started. Closing my eyes and focusing on the light.   Opening my eyes I was so relieved that I got it going on the first try.  

     "Now I just need to do the same thing I hope."  I mumbled. Not sounding very convincing.  

    Crossing my arms over my chest at the wrists again.  Closing my eyes and praying that this works.  I push my arms out in front of me.   Forgetting about the backlash from the last time.  I went flying backward again right into the trunk of a big tree.  My back and head hit hard. Knocking the wind right out of me.    Falling forward on the ground.  Landing on my hands a knees trying to catch my breath.  

    "Ouch!!   I really have to stop doing that"  rubbing the back of my head.  Feeling a large knot where It had hit the tree.  
    

        Sitting up on my knees.  Brushing the stray hair that had escaped my hair tie out of my face I look ahead.  There was no window.   The only thing I did was blow a rather large boulder into little baby boulders.     

     "Figures" I mumbled.   My shoulders slumped down and my vision started to blur from the tears trying to escape.  

" Stop it!  Crying is not going to get you home."     Using the tree for support I slowly stood up.  I could feel my head spinning a bit and had to stand there for a minute till it passed.   My whole body hurt.   "How hard did I hit the tree?"
