They stood at the top of the hill, taking in the disastrous scene before them. Everything was chaos. houses burned down, trees on fire, panicked citizens running around. It didn't matter, for they had completed their mission.
As they made their way down, they only looked ahead, trying to ignore the hundreds of bodies littering the ground. There were people all around crying over the loss of their loved ones, hugging their lifeless bodies. Up ahead, their friends who helped them throughout the mission, stared at them with disbelief, scorn, sadness andsomething that looked like hatred. However, they just looked past them.
One of them clenched her sword so tightly, her knuckles turned white, her jaw tightening as she looked around her.
Another gritted her teeth and looked only at the ground. She did not want to confront the mess she contributed in causing.
The third balled her hands into fists and scowled. She took a look around her, an angry low growl escaped from her throat.
Despite all the different thoughts, emotions and negativity running through their minds, they all were thinking the same thing.
"Why Me?"
*************
You know, I've always wanted a life full of excitement. And guess what? I got my wish. At first, I was really excited and happy, but awhile after that......it started going south. And now, I really wish that I've never asked for any of this to happen.
I seriously didn't see it coming. I was in school getting ready for class when the lights went off trapping me in darkness, wind transporting me to another dimension.
It all started with those whispers. Those frightening whispers which bothered me for days, terrorizing me whenever it could. And now here I am in some land, solving mysteries, saving civilians and a quest for paradise.
Prologue
I used to have a nightmare when I was younger. It was always the same order and the same impact. It started with the warmth of sand consuming my feet. I looked up to see a warzone. There were flashes of fire, water, and lightning. It was like a war of the gods. Suddenly I felt the heat on my back. I turned to see neon red and yellow flames consume me.
I ran to hide in the bushes that were next to me, feeling out of breath I tried to calm myself down. Strands of dark red hair covered my face. I proceeded to swipe my hair and look at my surroundings. I heard sobbing coming from near me. I trudged through the bushes and toward the sobbing when I got to under a willow tree.
"Hey, are you okay?" I asked.
I saw a girl with long dark red hair being the cause of the sobbing. She had a huge gash on her forehead with blood trailing down her face. She also had burns on her arms and shirt. The boy was in much worse condition. He was covered in burns, she was covering his face with only his hair showing. They both had the same colored hair. Suddenly my necklace started to glow with an amber color. The girl in front of me had a similar amber glow. Two amber crowns sat on top of the pillow.
One female and one male crown sat on top of the pillow. Once I walked closer the glow came back. Once I grabbed the tiara everything became white. I was once again in another room, I attempted to move but I mysteriously couldn't. A neon purple bolt of lightning hit my chest.
We both locked eyes with each other. Was that me? Before I could find out, the ground started to be drained into a whole. I was sucked into the drain and everything soon became black and I was free-falling. My back soon hit the ground of the room. I rose to look at the surroundings of the new room I was in. I fell to my knees from the pain. Then a person walked forward and grabbed my face.
