Into Your World

The Journey Begins

Alex took a deep breath as she stepped out the back door to her house, and she began to walk toward a wooded area that lay behind her home. She reached the line of trees and entered. When she had been walking for a few moments she heard a sound like someone stepping on a twig. She jumped slightly and turned around to see what it was, but saw nothing. Alex was suspicious for a few moments, but eventually she just shrugged it of. She kept walking until she reached a creek. Alex loved it out in the woods. She sat there for several moments when she once again heard the sound of a twig snapping behind her, but this time it was accompanied by the sound of rustling bushes. She was growing afraid and was about to turn around, but before she could blackness engulfed her surrounding her in darkness, and she couldn't see a thing.
The blackness soon melted away and she could once again see. Alex looked downward to see that she was lifted very high of the ground, and a substance that looked like black sand was what was holding her in the air. She screamed in fear.
"Why he would give it to you is beyond."
Alex looked up to see the source of the voice was a dark looking man. He had jet black hair, grey skin, and yellow eyes.
"Now I don't have time for games," said the man who was only a foot away from her, "give it to me!"
"I...I..." Alex stuttered.
The dark man sighed in exasperation.
"Pich" Yelled a voice from behind the dark man. The man, now identified as Pich, turned around with Alex still tightly wrapped in the black sand. When the owner of the voice came into view Alex could see it was a boy with pale skin and wight hair. There were also two other teens standing with him. One of them was a boy with brown hair and green eyes. The other was a girl,and she had curly, unruly, red hair, and blue eyes.
"Put the lass down!" yelled the girl.
"As you wish your highness." Pich bowed sarcastically as he dropped Alex. She yelled as she began plummeting toward the ground.
"Toothles!"
A black dragon bounded out of the woods. The boy rapidly mounted the dragon, and they sped over to the falling Alex, catching her. A few seconds longer and she might've been dead. Alex jerked upright into a sitting position from where she had fallen on the dragon's back behind the boy. The boy quickly landed the dragon and said, "Get off."
Alex quickly obeied. A teenage girl then came darting out of the trees.
"Punzie you take her somewhere safe." said the boy as he glanced backwards, "I need to go help them."
The boy and the dragon took off flying in the direction of a fight, probably one between the other girl, the other boy, and Pich.
"Come on!" yelled the girl. She had short brown hair and green eyes. When Alex hesitated the girl grabbed her by the wrist, and began to dart through the trees Alex in tow. They crashed through a set of bushes, and what looked like a portal came into view. Alex looked at the swirling circle of color, and before she knew what was happening the girl was pulling her through it.

Alex stumbled through the other side of the portal feeling confused.
"Ok my name's Repunzle, and I gotta go help them. Please wait here."
The girl, Repunzle, turned around to walk through the portal again but paused and turned back around saying, "Please... Don't, Go, Anywhere."
She walked back through the portal and it shut behind her.
