Pack of The Speeding Arrows

Chapter 6: Part 1 Something's wrong

Megan's POV

     I was walking down a wide, dark, and creeky hallway. The walls were a dark green with peeling wallpaper showing the original wood underneath. There were dorways after dorways on both sides of the hallway. When I first got here, I wanted to know what was behind each door, but now I'm not quite as certain. I gathered my nerves, and decided that I wanted to know what was behind the doors. 

     I stared at the door closest to me. It was a dark wooden door with brushed steel flowers attached to it. I took a deep breath and turned the cold doorknob. The door opened silently, and I looked into an extremely brightly lit room. 'Hello, my name is April! You must be Megan, we've been expecting you. Well, we all have.' I couldn't see anyone, since the room was so bright. 'Who's there? What room is this?' I questioned the bodyless voice. 'Oh, sorry dear. We sometimes forget that fairy light is too bright for anyone but others like us to see' When she said this, the whole room got darker, but there was still a glowing light around a small form across the room from where I was standing.

     'Megan, you have a very important task ahead of you. You are in a coma, but this is no ordinary one. This place, it is a place that not many people get to come to. What it is, is a place where you will find the missing part of your soul. You will leave this room, and you will walk down the hallway. You will start to feel a pull, and you will want to go towards it. Once you find the source of it, open the door. You may be surprised by what you may find. For everyone that comes here, the part of their missing soul is completely different. You want to make sure that the door you are going towards is where the pull is coming from. If you open the wrong door, you will absorb someone elses soul piece. This will be detrimental to you, and the soul that you absorbed. It will slowly kill you. This is why you are here in the first place. I have nothing else to tell you, you must hurry. The longer you are here, the less likely it is that you will find your soul. Time is essential. Don't ask me any questions, but it was lovely to meet you dear! Goodbye!'

     "April", as she was called apparently, wanted me to go on a quest... But why me? Why was it my soul that part of was missing? I hadn't even stepped more into the room before a huge gust of wind pushed me off my feet, and I was on the other side of the hallway.

     So I was supposed to feel a pull? What was she talking about? "Well, here goes nothing" I thought to myself. I didn't really know what to do, so I tried "listening" to my heartbeat to start. I felt something in my gut after standing in the hallway for a few minutes. It was faint, almost like I had the start of cramps, but I could feel it. I started walking forward, and the feeling grew stronger. As I kept walking, the pull felt stronger and stronger. Soon it felt like I was a little kid waiting for it to be Christmas morning. Not long after, I felt as though my whole body was buzzing. I was bye two doors, left and right of me. I walked towards the one on the right, but the buzzing became fainter, so I headed towards the left one. The buzzing got so intense, it almost hurt. But I decided that I was going to open the door to see what the missing part of my soul looked like.

     'Open the door! I want to go home!! MEGAN, PLEASE!' I heard this small voice yelling from what seemed to be somewhat close to the floor. I decided, well I've got nothing to lose really, and opened the door.

Thank you for reading! This chapter really hadn't gone as planned, I had a completely different plot in mind, but I kind of like it! Please let me know what you thought of it, or any suggestions please!
