The sky was painted blue by the clouds of London . The streets were covered in a blanket of water that reflected light onto the many umbrellas that bustled through the streets . Amongst the rain , busy street and sounds filling the city  a  small girl lay in an open field . " I'm soaked , just great . " I said as I changed my position to sit up and wring out my sweater . ' My phone's left back at the school and I don't have enough money for a cab ' I sat lost in thought wondering when things got this bad .
A soft purple glow in the distance  caught my eye . At first I was just curious , A small purple light in a city full of grey  . I got up  dusting off my dirty jeans , walking towards the small light that had captured all my attention in an almost trance like state . The closer I got the dimmer it was until it was standing over it the source of the light was a single flower a purple lily.   I knelt down and picked it up I smiled at the flower in my hands  the Same smile I had on  in the pictures of me on   news and in  the articles about my murder  .

I would come to regret picking purple lily's .

I awoke to the feeling of falling through the air . I opened my eyes and saw nothing  I closed my eyes and saw nothing . I kept falling through nothing . I saw no light only pitch black until I hit something .

" That hurt so much " I said out of breath since I had the wind knocked out me . I looked down at the hard , cold large rock I had landed on , it was floating amongst the pitch black space . Where was I ? A room ? Couldn't be  , I fell in here a room would have a ceiling . I looked up and saw nothing but pitch black once again . The feeling of being alone in a place I where I couldn't see or feel anything except the soles of my feet against a hard surface scared me , it was too much to handle . I screamed and only heard myself  , I panicked kicking the rock to make noise but it was in vain. I gave up and sat on the rock  , the rock started drifting in a direction I hoped would get me out of here .

I awoke to a loud thud . The rock had hit into a  yellow door . I looked up and beside it was  a red door . Both doors has plaques over them with a single letter in each . The yellow door had a D and the red door had an E .
They both looked normal until you saw the huge black handle it had . " What the ?" I said getting up to stand on the rock. I walked over to red door and reached for it , a sudden heavy feeling came over me , my feet felt cold and weak . I couldn't breathe properly , dizziness took over and I fell . The rock started to move carrying me all the way till I was practically touching the yellow door with my head . I got up and reached for it surprisingly It opened and let me in .

That's where this all began.
