Where I Belong - Ace Merrill

Chapter 1

Okay okay!

I get you're all probably confused as hell, reading that description but bear with me...

Surely you'd all love to have actually been there and have the guys as real people?? Right?? Not to mention I've always secretly wanted to write a time travel story...

Well this is me making them real...

Harper grinned as she hopped out the car, an earphone dangling from her ear as she looked around. This was it.

The place her favourite movie had been set, she turned slightly as she saw the so-called 'Blue Point'

"You okay kiddo?"

Her trance broke as her dad put a hand on her shoulder. She nodded as her grin grew.

"Hell yeah I am! Did you know over there was Kiefer shoved River down on the floor?!" Her excited voice came out as she pointed a few blocks down to where the so-called 'Irbys' had been.

"And just round the back was where Will shot off the gun after River told him it wasn't loaded!" She continued excitedly as she almost jumped up and down like an excited schoolgirl.

Her dad laughed and nodded slowly. "I have seen the movie too you know?"

She nodded and kept her grin.

"Well where to movie nerd?" Her mum said with a laugh.

Harper happily took her hoodie off and tied the sleeves around her waist, slinging her backpack straight back on her back. Her arms littered with tattoos.

Her right arm covered with what looked like a map completely around her but various locations had been stared. Castle Rock. Santa Carla. The Goblin city. Every important location from every important 80s movie.

Her left arm was covered in Disney characters, from Simba and Nala to Stitch and Angel. Yet the Evil Queen on her bicep, instead of holding a box of Snow White's heart, held a sign. The word 'Cobras' tattooed in, the S was of course a snake.

"Irbys obviously." She said smiling at her mum. "I'm a cobra." She laughed.

Her parents both laughed as they followed their skipping daughter towards the bar.

The streetlights began to flicker as she skipped along as what sounded like thunder clapped instantly.

Her mum jumped as her dad shook it off. Harper turned and faced both parents as she reached the door.

"They must know I'm here." She said with a laugh as she quickly yanked the door open and disappeared inside.

"You really think this was a good idea?" Her mum asked her dad as she stopped them outside the door.

He nodded slowly and looked inside. Harper was spinning happily on her heels, iPhone in hand as she snapped pictures left, right and centre.

"She needed this. We can't save her, her therapists and counsellors can't save her. Let's hope a bunch of fictional characters can." He mumbled as he held the door open for her and they walked in.

They were all soon sat around, drinks in hand as Harper continued to happily snap photos and selfies.

The girl could barely contain herself as she struggled to remain seated, everything fascinated her as there was movie memorabilia everywhere, signed pictures from the "cobras" and behind the scenes photos that littered the walls.
