Summery: Edward and Emmett are sparring. Suddenly Edward falls down a hole in the roots of a tree. Emmett slides in after him, but the strange thing is, Edwards not in the hole anymore. Alice can't see him in her visions, and his scent is gone. So where did he go? To La La land of course. The barren wonderland where Bella has lived alone, never aging, since 1934. Able to look upon the world they came from, Edward watches as his family struggles to figure out what has become of him. Bella teaches him about the rules of this world. The first rule of this place, you can never go home.
I own nothing, except for La-La-Land.
Enjoy your time in La-La-Land.
~Emmett's Point of View~
"I am so going to kick your ass!" I shouted as I lunged at my brother. He dodged out of my path and attacked back. He landed on my back and pulled my arm behind my back. For a human it would be rather painful to be in the position he had me in, but I had a plan. I used my other arm to grab his neck and pull him from my back. He tumbled over me and landed in a bush of nettles. I laughed.
"Oh, you just ruined my favourite shirt!" Edward yelled, "I'm going to rip your arms off!"
"Now, now Eddie," I teased him, "Just because your a virgin doesn't mean you have the strength to rip my arms off." I laughed. That got him rilled up. He lunged at me and I side stepped. His momentum made it so that he crashed into a tree. I laughed at him. Jasper was laughing to the side of our little sparring match. I froze when I heard Alice gasp. We all looked to her. She pointed to where Edward was standing. Or had been standing. There was a big hole in the ground leading under the tree.
I smirked and ran over to the hole. "Edward? Are you going to hide in there all day to avoid defeat?" No answer. Looking back to Alice I shrugged, "He's not going to come out easily I suppose."
"No," Alice's eyes were filled with fear, "He's not going to come out."
"Then I guess I'll have to go down after him!" I laughed, sliding down the hole. The inside of the hole was almost a room-sized thing. It was a hole the roots had dug from the ground. The room was a perfect circle, with roots hanging down in various places. The only exit was from where I had come in from, and Edward wasn't there. "Edward?" I whispered.
"No!" Alice screamed from outside. I race out to see what was wrong. "He's gone! I can't find him in my visions. He won't reappear. It's like he died! He's gone. He's gone." Alice crumpled to the floor of the forest. "Why?" her eyes began to fill with unshed tears.
"Alice calm down," Jasper tried to calm her, "What happened? What was your vision?"
"That's just the thing," She wept, "I was trying to see who would win the fight, then everything went black." She covered her face, "I tried to see what happened, Emmett has a future, but to my visions, Edward is dead." She wept into Jaspers shoulder. Rosalie was frozen, unmoved from where she had stood while Edward and I had been sparring. She was looking at the hole in the roots of the tree.
"He's gone." She whispered.
~Edward's Point of View~
I lunged at Emmett, missing by only a few centimeters. Unfortunatly, I rammed into a tree. Jasper burst out laughing as I pulled myself off of the now dented tree. I sighed and slid down to the tangle of roots beneath me. Alice was trying to see who would win this fight. I smirked. It was all so typical of a summer day for us. I looked beneath me as the ground started to shake. I heard the words come from the tree, "A perfect addition to La-La-Land." I was about to ask my family if they had heard what I had heard, when, suddenly, the roots gave way and I fell into oblivion. I scrammed as I fell towards nothingness. I looked up to see thee roots of the trees seal up above me, taking away any form of light I had.
It was terrifying to be hurtling towards what you didn't know what was at the end. I closed my eyes knowing that that wouldn't help me to know what I was falling towards. Suddenly, the feeling of falling stopped. I opened my eyes again.
My breath caught with what I saw. Rose petals were falling from the sky, The grass was at least half a foot high, long stemmed flowers of oranges and reds dotted the ground. The trees were full of yellows, reds, golds and oranges. The clouds were golden, and everything looked so beautiful. I sat up, listening, I could here a stream close by. I followed my ears, getting up, and winding my way between the grasses. I had no intention of running, I wanted to take in this world slowly.
I could hear no life in the area. I wondered if there was anyone else in this world. If there was, who were they? Did someone bring me here? My thoughts were brushed away by the sight of the stream. The rocks beneath it were purples and blues. I gazed down through the clear water. My arms reached out, and scooped up a handful without my permission. They brought it up to my lips. The thought of drinking water was repulsive, but for some reason, my body wanted it. I took a tentative sip. I could not stop dinking what my hands had brought to my face. The water was so good. I don't think it was water at all. It tasted better than human blood.
After a few sips I looked into my reflection and saw what I had not seen in a long time. Green eyes starred back at me. I gasped and kept looking. Felling something inside of me churning. I pressed my forefinger and middle finger to my wrist and felt my heartbeat. I moved away from the strange liquid in the stream and panicked. What had just happened? Was I human again?
I took a number of deep breaths and shook my head. Where the Hell am I? I felt warm water running down my face. Why was I pulled way from my family? Why am I here? I could feel myself crying. It felt like a new thing. I couldn't even remember the last time I cried. Where was my family right now? Were they trying to find me? I pinched myself. I knew that was what humans were supposed to do if they thought they were dreaming. I could feel it. No good. I wasn't dreaming. Did I hurt myself when I fell down that hole? No. I was a vampire, I could have survived that.
"What is this hell?" I asked myself aloud. Throwing my face into my hands and weeping. Tears freely coming down my face.
I didn't expect an answer to my question, but I got one. "This place is called La-La-Land. I'm sorry you ended up here." The beautiful voice whispered into my ear as two arms wrapped around me. The gesture was comforting. I fell into the persons arms without thinking. I wept there for a while. When I was done crying for what I had lost, I pulled away from them.
"I'm sorry you had to see that." I said to her. I looked up to see the mahogany haired girl looking at me with chocolate brown eyes full of sorrow. She was wearing a white dress that went down to her knees, with pearls hanging down in three rows from her neck. She had bare feet, and a chain around her ankle, like a bracelet. She was beautiful.
"When I woke up here I wanted someone to wake me from this nightmare," she whispered, "I didn't have anyone to hold me when I cried. I thought you might need it." she looked away, a blush spread across her face. "My name is Bella."
I was silent for a moment. "My name is Edward."
How was that for the first Chapter? I hoped you liked it. If you are wondering what it looks like, I based it on the video for brick by boring brick, by Paramore. So, thats the landscape.
