Selia's Story

ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕡𝕥𝕖𝕣 1

             She slowly opened her eyes. She was underground. Or, she thought she was. It was too dark to see where she was.

            "Mhhhhhhhhhh!" She said, There was still a cloth tied around her mouth, but the one around her eyes was gone, so she could see. There was a figure with blond hair, brown eyes standing over her. she looked completely normal, except for her weird clothing and high boots.

            "Are you ok?" The girl asked. She looked about 21, but Selia couldn't tell.

            "Mhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhm mmmhhh." she mumbled, glaring at her captor and crossing her arms.

            "Oh sorry," the blond girl said with a little smile playing on her lips as she reached over and untied the cloth. Breathing heavily, Selia sat up and asked,

            "Where is my sister? Who are you? Why am I here? Are you going to kill me?" Selia was so confused and scared that she almost felt like throwing up so just in case, she backed away. Did her parents even know where she was? Were they scared to death about Selia and her sister? Selia had so many questions popping up in her mind. How was she going to get all those answers that she desperately wanted?

            "Wow, that is a lot of questions. You remind me of me. Well, I am Sophie Foster and I will tell you more about myself later. As for your sister, she is in the room next to us with my close friend Fitz." Selia was confused hearing that weird name. Fitz? What kind of name was that? But what was even weirder was that when Sophie said friend she rolled her eyes and eyed the door.

            "Yes," Sophie said while opening the door to the next room. "She just woke up." Then Selia heard a boy's voice from the other room.

            "Her sister just did too. She has been asking countless questions about her dog." The boy had a crisp accent that sounded unlike any accent that Selia had ever heard of. Then, it occurred to Selia that the voice in the other room must have been the guy named Fitz. Selia has forgotten all about her dog, Buddy. What had happened to him? Did they bring him with us or did they leave him? Fitz was in the room now and he had wonderful teal eyes that were focused on Selia. That stayed like that for a couple of seconds before Selia looked away.

            "Sorry but for some reason, you remind me of someone but I can't quite put my finger on who it is," he said staring at Sophie for a long time while Selia just stared at the ground awkwardly, waiting for them to stop.

            Also, who did she remind Fitz of? She had no idea. Then, Sophie took Selia to the next room where Fitz was. Sophie whispered something to Fitz and he nodded. They gestured for them to follow them. They started pressing on the brick wall. When they found the right brick, they pushed it and it opened a small door.

            "A secret door!" Selia and her sister, Frankie gasped. The door was just large enough to fit Fitz, the tallest out of all of them. They walked out of the door and closed it behind them. They had entered a circular room that had a ladder on one side. They followed Sophie as she climbed up the ladder, Fitz behind the two sisters. Sophie pushed open the small manhole cover above them. The four emerged into a dark alleyway. Sophie led the way and they soon left the alleyway. As they walked out of the dark alleyway, Selia saw a massive shadow looming above her head and looked up. It was Big Ben!

            "How are we in London when we were in New York just a night ago? Surely you didn't take a plane." Selia asked, confused.

            "Ahh, you are very observant I see," Fitz said which made Selia blush, "You will find the answer to that soon." Selia looked to her sister and they exchanged confused and worried looks. Sophie took out a stick with a crystal on it and took Selia's hand. Sophie clasped a dark blue metal bracelet on Selia's hand.
