Stories of Middle Earth

CHAPTER 2: "Where the magic begins"

I heard some noises. My dad was knocking at my door, yelling "It's time to get up".

He told me he was going to work, I was alone.

I had a shower and I had some breakfast. I grabbed the paint bucket and I went to the small living room and I started to paint it.

Four hours later, someone was shouting my name on the street. It was Katie, it was obvious she did that, we didn't have the bell yet. I opened the door and I saw her with her long dark hair and her big hazel eyes. She was smiling. We hugged. It's like we knew each other for so long. We talked so many hours and she our last conversation was about a party that there was tonight.

We wanted to go shopping, we didn't have anything for the party. I looked at my hands, they were yellow because of the painting. I decided to have a shower before we leave. I left a note on the door to my dad.

"Hey dad, I'm going shopping with Katie this afternoon and then I go to her house to prepare for the party. Don't wait for me, I'll be late. Love, Marta".

We arrived at the most beautiful shop ever. They had a lot of dresses in every different color. We tried a lot of dresses, and finally we found our perfect dress.

I went to her house, we decided to make-up and put on our dresses. Katie was perfect in her green knee length dress, her dress had a bit of spakling and I loved her hair; she was wearing ringlets. I was wearing a side braid and my lovely light blue dress. My dress was short in front and longer in the back with a little bit of sparkling.

At nine o'clock, we were going on our way to the party.

We were walking a long dark street and we felt something strange. There were no birds, no lights and there was nobody on the street.

Suddenly, in a tree we could see like something was sparkling in the air. Katie walked near it. I told her not to get closer. But she grabbed my hand and we fell off into an invisible hole.

It felt like magic.
