A NEW DIMENSION ~A OUAT FANFICTION

Chapter 1

"Mom, do I have to?" I whined, wanting to be left alone.

"Yes Mackenzie, you have to." My mom replied back in an authoritative tone.

All I wanted was to be free. I didn't like the wall that separated this town from a dangerous, evil, mad town. At least that's how my mom described it. I didn't believe the things she said. I thought that the town separated from ours was beautiful, she just didn't want me going there for whatever reason. She was just a little over protective.

"This corset is squishing my spleen. I'm going to pass out at this party. I just know it!" I complained, hoping my mom would have some sympathy and take it off.

"You're wide at the top. This corset is doing you a favor." My mom said. I rolled my eyes at her. Complete bull. I'm not wide at the top! At least not compared to some girls.

"Mom! I'm not wide at the top!" I complained.

"Mackenzie De Ville, don't. Talk. BACK!" She said furiously.

I couldn't even move. I felt like a snowman, stiff and inanimate.

"Alright Mackenzie. It's time to go to the party. You must dance with the Prince. He will be your husband someday. Don't complain, rules are rules." My mom was aggravating me.

All I kept thinking about was that town on the other side of the wall. All I wanted to do was explore it, see what it had to offer.

My mom nudged me and I wheezed. That corset was not helping anything.

The Prince my mom wanted me to dance with so badly walked up to me.

"Wow, you look really pretty!" He said. His name was John. Prince John.

"Yeah, people are right when they say beauty comes with pain." I said trying to free myself from the corset.

"Ouch. May I have this dance?" He asked, extending his hand out to me.

"Um, sure." I only said that because my mom wanted me to. I didn't like him though. He wasn't my type.

We, awkwardly, danced the waltz. I felt awkward looking in his eyes, so I looked at my feet the entire time. My mom would be disappointed in seeing me act like this in front of a Prince, but what was I to do!?

~~~

The party ended an hour or two later. My mom held my hand and brought me back home.

"Mom, I have a question." I said. I was going to ask her if I could go see the world on the other side of the wall. I was 14 now. I think I can handle it.

"What is it dear?" My mom asked.

"I want to know if I can, since I'm 14 now, go on the other side of the wall and explore this mysterious town you speak of." Hopefully she let me go. The world probably wasn't nearly as bad as she described it.

She looked at me as if I was were an alien for a good ten seconds.

"You already know the answer to that question dear. We've discussed it many times before." She said in a hushed tone.

"But why? What is it about that town that you don't like!?"

"I'm not having this conversation with you."

"But why? What are you so afraid of!?"

"I said.....ENOUGH!"

Her shout scared me. I flinched a little.

"I'm only doing what's best for you! That world is filled with horrible, horrible people." She said.

"You never listen to me! You're trying to keep me hostage and I won't let it happen anymore! I'm going to go see the world and you can't stop me!" I shouted at her. I've had enough. This was it.

She glared at me, fire burning in her eyes.

"You will NEVER leave this town. You will NEVER go over there! You will stay in this room until I'm sure you won't leave." My mom yelled.

"No! You can't keep me in here! You can't!" I shouted at her, determined.

"Oh I can, and I will, and I JUST DID!" She yelled, and with that, she slammed my door shut and locked it.

I panted heavily and kicked and punched the door, trying to break it down, but I had no luck.

I threw myself on my bed, buried my head under my pillow and sobbed. My own mother trapped me in my room. For good. What was so bad about that world?

Whatever it was, I was going to find out.
