Our Happily Ever After Fantasy

Chapter 2

Sarah's P.O.V

"WAKE UP YOU LAZY BUTT," Julie screams at the top of her lungs. I'm pretty sure penguins in Antarctica could hear her. My left eyelid flew open and the first thing I see is Julie's nose up close to my eyes. Silently reaching for my spare pillow, I slammed it into the side of her face sending her into fits of laughter and I groggily made my way into our messy bathroom and began to get ready for another way of work. 

Excitement fills through me again as I remember about the floorboard. My routine begins to slightly speed up, only to be slowed down as I took out my liquid eyeliner. Focusing every bone in my body on the winged line, I let out a sigh as I finished one eye and began the whole process with the other.

Approximately 45 minutes later, I glide out of the bathroom to be greeted with a red faced Julie. "What the hell took you so long gosh," she snaps as she does the pee pee dance into the bathroom. I reply with "Eyeliner, takes a shit load of time alright dude." I briefly looked through my closet before deciding on a loose black t-shirt and some black denim jeans, ripped at the knees of course.

I walked into the kitchen and made myself some breakfast, as Julie comes out of her room in a classy white button up and a black tight skirt, she works in an office while I work at Forever 21. She's the smart one out of two but she can be very goofy at times. We've been friends almost for 4 years and she's always been there for me. In other words, she's like my older sister, even though I'm the taller and older one.

After saying our quick goodbyes, Julie and I part ways. I sprinted to the train station in order to catch the 8:00 train. As the near the platform I see the train coming to a stop as I put my ticket up against the machine I hear the loud beeping noises coming from the platform, signifying that the doors will be closing and the train will begin it's departure. Just like Tris Prior, I run as fan as I can and jumps onto the train floor, the door missing my bag by 2 inches.

The train was packed tight as we stop at different stations; I hang onto the pole above my head by the door afraid of missing my stop. Although there were many passengers on the train, the ride was silent. It's always been like this though.

I walk into the store greeting the rest of the co-workers with a big smile, in which they all return. I realize I'm early as half the workers weren't even there yet. My curiosity boils when I stop in front of the storage room. I slipped my bag off my shoulders and drop in near the door when I step inside. The box that I used to cover the floorboard is still lying there where I left it. 

Thankfully no one has found the loose floorboard. I waddle over silently towards the brown object moving it aside. Moving the obstruction aside, I slip the floorboard away to reveal the vibrant strange light. I wasn't really sure what it was, something on my mind told me to put my hand through it just to see the if it's a liquid or some strange gas.

My hand went right through, it felt surreal and very difficult to decipher what it is. Seconds later my arm in sucked into the light, or whatever. I still have no idea what it is, still panicking when the light suddenly turns into a soft jelly substance. It began to swirl in a swift motion. My curiosity got the better of me because I did not pull my arm out; unfortunately the thing I knew was my entire body is suddenly dragged into the whirlpool. 

All of a sudden my vision is blurry, silence is all I hear and darkness is all that surrounds me. Seconds later,I am standing in an old attic. Cobwebs lined the corners of the room as objects lay all over the place. Confusion, fear and anxiety rushed through me. So many thoughts fill my mind. Am I dreaming? What are in those boxes? What took me here? And most importantly, where in the name of hell am I.

All of a sudden I hear my name, it was soft at first but it gradually became louder. "SARAAAAAH!" I quickly panic even more, I don't even know where the hell I am but my conscience tells me to respond. Before I could even master a reply, the door is busted open and an angry women is standing by the door. I could tell by her attire she is some sort of maid, like the ones in last 18th century or something. Then I look down and see that my clothes mirror hers. "There you are, Lady Francesca is looking for you."

And with that she takes a sharp turn and exits the room. I quickly followed, scared and not wanting to be alone in the room. 

I look back and see the floorboard a little loose from its secured spot, with the same light shinning through. I reluctantly follow the angry women hot behind her heels. We went down many flights of stairs when suddenly she stopped abruptly in front of a very fancy looking door. The stop was so sudden I almost crashed into her.

"What are you waiting for? Go in," she huffs and off she went. Swallowing hard, I pushed the door open.
