Near the End

Chapter 6: the mysterious place

Mae's POV

It was all pitch black, that is until I opened my eyes. It was still dark but the moon light was enough to be able to see where I was. Grass tickle my skin as I noticed I was in a wide field with grass, flowers and a great big beautiful tree blooming with some kind of flowers. It was all so beautiful. I turned to My right expecting to see Autumn, and was shocked when I didn't see her there. I turned to all directions to see if there was any signs of life. Nothing. I got up from the tall grass when I spotted a small light in the far distance.light, it means people. I walked towards it, but the closer I came to it, I could see it didn't look anything like a camp fire light of any sort. I came close enough to see it formed a figure. An tiny human that seemed to be.... Flying. I approached her, but she seemed to back away. I picked up my pace but she did to. Was she scared of me?
She waved her hand symbolizing to follower her. I began to jog after her.
She was fast so I began running although it was hard since the grass was up to my knees.

We had ran for about a quarter of a mile now when I started noticing the grass grew shorter and shorter until there was only dirt. I looked around my surroundings and was astonished by what I saw. Behind me were the grassy flower filled fields, but in front of me was what seemed like a forest filled with trees and dead leaves on the ground. As I looked to my right I noticed... Snow? And on my left fields that looked like the one I had appeared on except the grass was golden. It seemed all the 4 seasons where around me. Only an empty circle separating them from each other. I turned to the tiny flying, glowing girl that brought me here.

"Wh-who are you?" She turned to me and approached me.

I backed away fearing she could be dangerous. She stopped at the bridge of my nose with her arms behind her. I had to cross my eyes to be able to see her. In a blink of an eye she threw some sort of glowing powder at my face hitting my wide open eyes.

"Hey!" It burned a bit.

"Sorry, miss Mae." My heart stopped for a second. Did.. Did she say that?

"H-how do y-you know my name?" I asked her.

She paused for a second surprised at my question. "Everybody knows your name here... You are one of the 4 chosen ones"

"What?!" None of this made sense. "Where's my friend Autumn!?"

"She'll be here in a minute." She said with a smile. "Oh and I'm sorry for throwing my dust at you, they were orders."

"Orders?"

"M-hum that's the only way you can hear me and the other creatures talk here, oh and how you unfold your powers."

"M-my powers?"

She opened her mouth ready to explain until she saw 3 other glowing lights each coming from each season and 3 shadow behind them.

She gasped. "They're here!"

The shadow began to become clearer as they got closes. I squinted my eyes to see better. Autumn?! All three so called 'shadows stopped in the center right where I was standing.

"Mae!" An a familiar voice called out from in front of me. Autumn.

"Mae?" Another familiar voice, but this time came from my left.

"Gus?" Was that... him?

"Yeah... What are you doing here?" He asked me.

The other 3 tiny creatures that came leading Autumn, Gus, and some other kid threw the same dust I was thrown.

"Hey! What the heck that hurt!" Someone called out.

"We're sorry, orders from Mother Earth." They said

"Mother who-" the brown haired boy was cut off by an eye blinding glow growing in front of us.

It formed a human form, taller then all of us.

"Welcome." She said.

"Welcome?! What do you mean welcome?" I was furious, I was tired, I was confused. "What is this place?!"

I felt a hand on my left shoulder symbolizing for me to calm down. Hot tears were screaming to come out, but I didn't want to cry, not in front of anyone.

"I'm sorry, let me introduce myself first. I am Mother Earth, watcher of earth, this..." She paused. "Well this is my home where me and all my beloved family is safe from, humans"

"Humans? Humans aren't a threat." The brown haired boy stated.

"Ah, you still have so much to learn." She stated offending him.

"Pardon me ma'am but I don't see what you mean, I am an A student."

"Yes I see, but you only know what they want you to know."

Her words all stunded us.

"Who?"

"Humans."

"What?!" I could tell we were all confused.

"Don't worry, you will all see when its time, but for now, here." She handed us all a bag filled with some sort of multi-colored seed.

"What is this?" Gus asked

"Portal seeds, that's how you'll go in and of this world."

"You expect us to come back?" Said Gus.

"You have to." Mother Earth said

"And why's that?" Gus asked her

"Because, you are the 4 chosen ones."

"The what?"

"I'll explain everything tomorrow."
And with that we were yet thrown again a different colored dust, and everything went black.
