Different

A Whole New World

A/N: 😏

Perry P.O.V

We reached the final door in the hallway, I reached for the rusty handle but hesitated. What could be put there? Is it something that will surprise or something that I'll hope to forget? I stared longingly at the handle before opening the door until Riley broke the silence. "Are we gonna go in or...?" She asked while looking weirdly at Perry.
"I- sorry I was distracted," I replied. I reached for the handle and twisted it.

The light came through the door and outside was... a sign. "Well, that was totally worth escaping!" Jack said sarcasticly. We looked past the sign and saw a whole village. It was filled with people, but they didn't look like the people from our world. They were fully black with hallowed out white eyes. Riley and Cole were petrified however, Jack and I were seemingly calm... I couldn't tell what Jack was thinking since the barrier around his mind was up again. "Well, what are we waiting for?" Jack asked as he rolled down the hill. We looked at each other and decided to follow. "Woooooooooooooo," Riley screamed as we rolled down. Cole nearly hit a rock but then the rock flew up and grew wings. "What the-?" I thought aloud as the rock flew into the sky, going to who knows where! I wasn't having such a good time while rolling down the hill. My hair kept getting caught in twigs and loose roots. Great, just great.

When we got to the bottom of the hill, the village was right in front of us. Everyone's hair was perfect, even Riley's while I was busy pulling twigs and leaves out of my hair. We walked into town and everyone was staring at us. That wasn't really much of a surprise seeing as we were completely different from them! Before we took another step someone stopped us. "Stop right here, what are your names?" a snooty little man asked as with a glint of disgust in his eyes. I read his mind and it said:

If their names are Riley, Cole, Jack and what was the other one called Parker? Perin? No, Perry! That's it. If it's them, I'll be able to get the grand prize from the king! Oh, I hope it's them!

"My name is R-" before Riley could finish her sentence I spoke up! "Ruth, I'm Paz, this is Moon and that's Light" I exclaimed a little too fast. I knew they were unusual names, but who would know? I mean in this realm they could be quite popular. The man looked at me suspiciously and don't get me started on the questioning looks I got from the boys along with the death glare I got from Riley. I guess she doesn't like the name Ruth... "Very well, you must be adventurers from the Lounce Govern. Follow me, I shall set you up for your adventure," He said and walked away expecting us to follow him.

Of course, we followed behind him and as we were walking Riley started to talk to me. "Sooooo, 'Paz', why did you pick Ruth?" She nearly yelled. The man looked back at us, but decided to ignore what Riley said after he saw my clueless face and thought it was a joke. " What are you talking about? I didn't pick your name!" I replied keeping my clueless act up. Should I tell them about my power? My head was telling me no, but I knew deep down I had to tell them some day. And today was gonna be the day!

Mind Chat:

Perry: Hey guys, I gave you new names, because I think we're wanted and didn't want to take any risks!

Riley: Wait, how is this possible?

Cole: Yeah, is it because of the new realm?

Perry: No, it's me. I'm kinda psychic so I can read people mind and do stuff like this. But this is my first time doing this because I've never really told anyone, so yeah. Please don't freak out...

Riley: Freak out? THIS IS INSANELY AWESOME!

Cole: So is everyone on here?

Perry: No, Jack isn't on but that's because I can't seem to get to him, something's blocking his mind, like a barrier!

Riley: Anyway, WHY RUTH? IT COULD'VE BEEN ANYTHING BUT RUTH!

Perry: I improvised, ok? I couldn't think of any other name beginning with R!

Cole: Guys, that doesn't matter. What does matter is that we figure out what we're going to say when we get to the place where he'll give us the starter pack. So when we're on our way we'll find a way to get Jack onto this telepathic mind group thing.

Perry: We're here, before we go in and stop talking telepathically I wanna say, thanks for not freaking out!

And then we entered a small inn at the edge of what looked to be a forest of purple trees. "Just go in and they'll give you everything you need," the short, posh man indicated towards the inn.
"Won't you be coming with us?" Jack asked cautiously. I could tell he didn't trust the man since Jack was more tense then usual. "Heavens no, I've got so much to do before the parade tonight. I am the mayor. Farewell Paz, Moon, Light and Ruth," he said before leaving. I knew, logically, I shouldn't trust that man, but knew that he was going to be an ally in the future.

We glanced at each other then at the door to the inn. "Might as well enter" Riley said as she twisted the handle...
