I was a normal winter day, with normal winter weather, and normal people. Or so it seemed. As Belladonna awakened from her peaceful slumber, the normal thoughts of her life ran through her head. The girl hated school. But she forced herself to keep going, to see her friends that she only saw in the hellish landscape. Belladonna got up, dressed, and ready in only thirty minutes. "New record," she chuckled to herself. She applied eyeliner, mascara, and black eye shadow to her pale face as she waited for her sister Autumn. "Hurry up, would you?" she yelled up. Belladonna was not one for waiting. When Autumn finally was done, the two sisters walked to school on the cold winter day. As they strolled along the icy pavement, they noticed if they kept going this way they'd be late. "We can't be late," Autumn remarked. "We've already been late five times. And don't even argue, we should take the alley." Belladonna (let's call her Bell now) glanced at the decrepit, gloomy alleyway. She had been down that way on her escapades selling rather illegal things. Not drugs, just things that would be illegal if found out by the government. She called them whims, little snake-like creatures that were a pale, translucent white, and glowed at night. They floated around and made great guides. The sisters jogged down the alleyway, only to be snatched by an unknown person. "Autumn, you just had to suggest this way," Bell spat. "Oh well. At least mum and dad weren't home." She quickly regretted saying so, as her sister started to cry. "They haven't been home yesterday either!" At this point their kidnapper took notice of their speaking. The person flung them into the back of a black, shiny van, all tied up in fine, silky rope.
~Stay tuned for part two, because basically this was a big introduction. I make long stories and there needs to be more than 2000 characters, because I can easily type a novel with something to write about. I'm literally out of characters now. Thanks for reading!!!~
