Dragonrider (the powers of the unknown series part 1)

Chapter 4

I slowly turned around to look behind me, but before I could react I heard a loud growl I didn't wait and immediately sprinted out of my room again. But whatever was following me wasn't slow. I quickly heard it coming closer and closer. When I looked in front of me I saw that I was running towards a stone wall, but it was already too late too slowdown. I already braced myself for the impact, but...
It never came. One second I was running towards a stonewall and the other I was standing in some kind of room. I looked behind me and the only thing I saw was a solid wall and some bookshelves. I was very confused. What did just happen? Where am I?

I was looking around in confusion for a couple of minutes. I slowly began to think again and decided that I could better try to find the exit. It was already pretty late and I didn't know where I was and how to go back to my room. I began to walk through to rows of bookshelves surrounding me. After something that felt like an hour I stopped and decided to sit down and try to think straight. I suddenly felt a breeze of wind going to my right. Strange I thought, I can't remember that there were any windows somewhere close. The breeze kept tugging on me while also get tong stronger and stronger by the second. For some reason, I thought that I needed to follow it. While I began following the wind I noticed that it slowly weakens until it was completely gone.

I was standing in front of a door, the door didn't look like it was used much. I tried to push it open but it didn't move, not even an inch! I began to punch it so it would hopefully open, but it didn't work. At the end on the moment that I thought that it would never open I layer my hand on it. I don't know why but suddenly the door opened.

When I stepped through the doors I immediately saw two things. One: a lot of bookshelves. Two: someone who looked like a teacher. It was an elf with hair in a beautiful shade of purple. Like most elves was it genderless. The moment she saw me she looked up from the book she was studying and looked in my direction. Her eyes were a mix of purple and blue with some dots of gold in it. When she saw me she stood up and walked towards me. 'Why are you still here so late' she asked. 'I don't know' I said. 'I don't even know where I am right now' I said. 'You don't know a lot don't you' she said. When she saw how confused I looked she quickly said: 'I didn't mean that literally.' I stayed silent for a couple of seconds. 'Who are you' I asked. She thought for a couple of seconds, 'you can call me Jessie' she said. 'I have the power to control the elements. And who are you?' 'I am Mia' I said. She looked around here and said: 'you can better go back to your room, it is already pretty late you know.'

After I told her that I didn't know how to get to my room from here she quickly told me how to walk and then said that she needed to leave. Just after she left I suddenly felt like I was being watched. When I turned around to look behind me I saw a pair of eyes staring at me from the shadows.

When I reached my room I was out of breath. After I saw those eyes staring at me I decided to get as fast as possible to my room. I ran all the way to my room. I quickly opened my door and jumped inside I was so stressed and tired that I didn't even bother to look around me and just immediately lay on my bed. When I would have looked around then I would have seen that I wasn't alone, when I would have looked around me I would have noticed that something was watching me through my window.

The next morning I felt tired. I was very happy that the school wouldn't start for a few more days. Because I was still free today I decided to take a walk in the forest surrounding the school. I didn't know why I wanted to do that because I don't usually go outside when I am in a place I almost don't know anything about. But I didn't think much of it and just thought that it would be okay.

I was walking into the forest. I only looked at the beautiful nature around me. When I would had watched out more on that moment I would have seen the warning signs. Sadly those where almost completely covered with plants, but when I would have looked on eye-level then I couldn't have missed it.

After a couple of minutes just plainly walking through the forest I felt a breeze from my right. I tried to ignore it, but it became stronger and stronger by the minute. I suddenly remembered the events of the day before. I immediately assumed that it was going to help me again, I just didn't know were it would help me with. Sadly I then didn't know yet how wrong I was about that. I closed my eyes and followed the wind. Later on, I would have thought that that was a very stupid thing to do.

After a while, the wind stopped and I opened my eyes. But when I opened my eyes I was shocked this wasn't a safe place, I could feel it in the air. I looked around me, but I didn't recognize anything of my surroundings. Then I realized something, when the wind stopped I still felt a breeze but you could see that is wasn't the wind because then the trees would also have made some sound. And it wasn't until a couple seconds ago that I could feel that it stopped. I was almost too afraid to look around me but I did. Nothing seemed off about this place except the energy it had. Suddenly I heard a howl and the next thing I knew I was crushed under something very heavy. Then I passed out.
