Gentle sun rays hit my eyes and i scrunch up my nose in annoyance. Thats when i heard it.. a giggle? My mind felt distorted as if it were tampered with and as i carefully opened my reluctant eyes i saw that I wasn't where i used to be.. "whoa.." i say in awe and slowly stood to my feet, feeling the velvet grass between my bare feet. With only a few trees dotted around the grassy plains, a soft breeze seemed to flow by, moving my hair gently to the right of me.
"Hahaha.."
I swiftly turned my head around to face the disturbing giggle, my guard raised.
"Hahahaha.. hehe.."
I turned once more and yet still nothing was there. I have to be dreaming.. but it feels so.. real?"Welcome, Traveller!" A voice chirped. I turn around, my feet shoulder width apart and my fists raised defensively. A teen stood before me and a confused expression plastered my face with one eyebrow raised.
"Yoo hoo! Anyone home?" The small girl chirped again "hehehe.. you're not very talkative, huh?" She asked innocently"Who.. no." I paused "where am i, exactly?" I asked cautiously, my body still ready for an attack. My clothes are different, I'm wearing a baggy white sleeved shirt with a brown A-Line pinafore dress hanging loosely over the top of it confusion is the least of my problems right now...
"You're exactly where you were! And.. uh oohhh! Your friend's a bit worried. Can't see me but i can see hiiimm!" She giggled again "he can also see you in a trance state right now, I've made it so that he can't communicate with you whilst with me and you cant communicate with him, either! Oh isn't this fun!" She clapped her hands excitedly like a child with a small hop now and then.
"Take me back! Take me back right now! I don't know how you're doing this but i need to get back!" I exclaim at the girl
"Ahh! No, too scary!" She squeals and flicks her finger. My mouth is suddenly trapped shut, my jaw immobile. All i could get out was a muffled exclamation of distress.
The girl sighed, crossing her arms "i need to talk to you." She said simply and sat down on a large toadstool that she grew with a single snap of her fingers "I want to help you in your quest.. I followed you from that large mansion last night in hope of finding help and it just so happens that i may have done that." The girl swung her legs sadly "i don't actually have anywhere to go.. so I thought I'd tag along with you!" She squealed excitedly, a new contrast from the way she was acting just seconds ago.
I tried to reply but once again i found my jaw stuck until a flick of her fingers cast me back to Nuada.
My legs fell heavy and gave way beneath me as i landed dizzily in a pair of strong arms.
"Like i said" the girl continued "I'd like to join you in whatever you're doing." She smiled innocently
A shocked gasp fell from Ada's lips as he staggered backwards whilst keeping my disoriented form upright.
"How.. how can we trust you?" I stammered as i tried to regain my bearings. I push off of Nuada but thankfully he still took hold of my arm to steady me.
"I'm a 15 year old girl who's family were murdered by the Meizers when they dug too deep into history. I mean no harm.. just shelter, i suppose. I crave adventure" she grinned at us.
"How'd you do that magic stuff?" I asked bluntly with a slight sway whilst Nuada stood and stared in shock at the small girl and how both me and her knew each other. Little did he know that it would all come to light soon enough.
