Midnight of Mystery

Well, this was a group purroject, my friends suggested me some points and I had to frame it up, make cliffhangers, plot twists, strange and mysterious aura and EVERYTHING ELSE. 

Gosh, it didn't even seem like a group purroject tbh..

Anyways, let's start!

...

Elissa Carnegie was a very ambitious girl. She wanted to become a world-famous photographer. She had recently graduated from The New York Institute of Photography, which you can easily tell, is situated in New York City, USA. She had to get some breathtaking and adventurous photograph samples clicked by her to get one of the best jobs in the world, she could actually become a Hollywood camera girl! It was truly a dream come true for her, but the thing is, she's never really taken an adventurous photograph. "Now I really have to think, an adventurous place with a breathtaking view which I can capture in my camera... Where could this place possibly be? ".
After days of searching, she finally came across a spot, on Google which was perfect. "Mount Ouray, here I come!" she said. She booked her tickets for the Municipality of Ouray, she packed her bags and quickly booked a taxi for the airport. She was as ready as she could possibly be for her adventure. Little did she know it was bigger than it seemed.

 She reached the city, it was more beautiful in real life than in the pictures. The sun was waving at the horizon as it came up. Without further ado, she got ready with her hiking material and her camera. Within the next few minutes, The sun had come up completely and Elissa had started climbing the magnificent mountain called Mount Ouray. She took breaks and continued climbing.

"Just a few more meters Elissa, you got this" she thought. That's when her bad luck ticked in, her hand mistakenly fell on a lizard, and because she was extremely afraid of reptiles, she screamed and lost her grip. The next moment, Elissa was falling off of the mountain range. She thought this was the end of her life, but it obviously wasn't, at least not yet. She landed safely inside a lake, she didn't get wet at all, and what was weirder was that there were no lakes near Mount Ouray! She was in the middle of a forest, an unknown forest. She looked around only to be greeted by a cave which had a strange shine. She headed towards the cave, unsure of what was inside. As soon as she got in, it seemed like time stopped. This was not the same forest; it was definitely not. The place was covered with strange flowers which were star shaped, and each flower had a coin in center, strange coins.

The day had turned to night, she looked behind her, hoping to see the cave, but like in every other story, it wasn't there. She should've thought. Now she couldn't help but hope it is a dream and she'd wake up any moment now. She looked around, in hope of an exit, but what she saw next made her scream. The pitch black sky was filled with stars, as it should, but this wasn't what surprised her, it was the planetary system she could see. The solar system, it was in the sky... it only meant one thing... SHE WAS ON ANOTHER PLANET!
She started screaming, she couldn't help it. Her screaming awoke the creatures who lived there, and they came to see what the matter was. Their chief came up first and started screaming at seeing her. Elissa screamed as she looked at the tiny red colored aliens with pointed ears and an antenna on top of their heads. She screamed, they screamed, everyone else screamed. The peaceful atmosphere there was nothing but screams. They all kept on screaming until their vocal cords gave up, and coincidentally, they all gave up at the same time.
"That... was tiring" Elissa panted.
"Sure... indeed... stranger... who are you?" The chief asked.
"I-I am Elissa Carnegie, I-I from the earth, how do I return?"
"Earth?!" The chief repeated in shock. There were whispers among the crowd and after a while, they all stopped. "I am Colton, the chief of the Sapotis. Welcome to the precious planet of Starlight, the land of... *sigh* midnight" (Heh... the miraculer in me... woops!)
"Starlight? That's supposed to be a name for the land where there's light, right?"
"That's our problem... and it can only be solved by a being from earth"
