MY STORY
Destiny, fate do they rule over our lives even now in the 21st century, who knows. Some people believe that we make our own destinies and that there's no such thing as fate. People have forgotten they don't think with their hearts anymore, like me for example, oh by the way my name's Emi Blackwell I'm 16 years old, but to most people I look younger. You see I believe that things happen for a reason, well I have to believe this in order to not lose the will to live, well my life hasn't been good. Believing in the unbelievable makes me feel as if life is worth living, but enough about my thoughts and feelings. It all changed the day my DVD's arrived, I had been waiting a week for them to come.
It was Saturday morning when my mother called up the stairs "Emi the DVD's have arrived."
I opened the box and then I pulled out the DVD's to see whether or not the disks were damaged in the post. My dad said, "We're going out at 11 so don't watch the DVD's too long."
"Ok." I replied.
But in the end I wasn't going out, I went upstairs to watch the DVD's, but instead of the screen going black when I put the DVD in, it was a strangely eerie, swirly blue. Suddenly there was a bright flash of light; I closed my eyes because the light hurt. When I opened my eyes I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
"Oh my god, where am I!"
As I looked around I couldn't believe what I was seeing, I was in a clearing in the middle of a forest. The clearing was covered in beautiful white and pink flowers and the trees around the edges were cherry blossoms. The wind was blowing gently and the petals from the flowers on the trees were drifting on the breeze. I could feel the wind gently pulling at my hair; I stood up and realized I was wearing something completely different. I was wearing a Japanese schoolgirls uniform, which consisted of a blue trimmed white short sleeved shirt with a necktie on the front, blue short skirt, small white socks and black school shoes. I had long legs and arms, as well as long dark brown hair with light brown and auburn streaks, my hair reached mid-back. My eyes had turned a bright grass green, I knew because I found a mirror in a bag next to me. The bag had a plain A4 pad, a few pens and pencils as well as 3 books, Witch's Child, Sorceress' Daughter and Born Free. So I picked up the bag and started to walk to the other side of the clearing, just as I reached the other side I saw a man walking towards me.
He was tall and had black hair, he was wearing a dark blue suit, but he had his head down looking at the ground so I couldn't see what his face looked like. I started to move aside but stood on a twig and it snapped, his head snapped up I froze like a deer caught in a cars headlights. He started walking towards me but I couldn't move, I was frozen on the spot as if I was in a block of ice. He started to walk towards me with a look of determination and I just stood there, I didn't know what to do it was as if my body had stopped listening to my brain. Suddenly the man who was nearly in front of me, then shouted, "Hey, you there don't move."
It was as if my body had woken up and I did what my mind had been screaming at me to do, I ran. I was running blindly because I was I a strange place and that scared me so I just kept running. When I started to get a stitch I stopped bending over holding my side in the middle of a tree lined path trying to catch my breath and ease the pain in my side. Then I heard voices shouting, my head shot up and I saw two boys and a girl walking towards me.
