Ch.1
Silvia's Point of View" "Look," Charlie said, finally able to calm down. "I'm going to cook breakfast, like I was supposed to do. That way, no one will get any foreign objects in their food, ok?" " I said out loud. I bit my fingernail, thinking about what else I should add when Ashley sent me an IM.
CraZgur4HP: Hey
Waterwitch 1617: hi
Waterwitch 1617: what's up?
CraZgurl4HP: I just put up ch.5
I was glad about this. I was already addicted to her other story on the site, Deadly Desire.
Waterwitch 1617: YAY!
CraZgurl4HP: Yup
CraZgurl4HP: How's ch.8?
Waterwitch 1617: still nothing
CraZgurl4HP: You know what?
Waterwitch 1617: what?
CraZgurl4HP: I'm not putting ch. 2 up until you at least get something for ch. 8
My mouth dropped in shock. That was not fair! I told her what the main idea was for A Knight in Refuge. She shouldn't hold Ch.2 over my head!
Waterwitch 1617: damn you.
CarZgurl4HP: I want that chappie up!
Waterwitch 1617: lol
Waterwitch 1617: see… I'm patient though.
Waterwitch 1617: I can live with out it for a while.
While waiting for her to respond, I quickly went to the Harry Potter Fan Fiction site to see how many people have readmy other stories so far. I bit my fingernail again while logging in. This wasn't a good habit to have but, oh well. When I finally got in, a pop-up add showed up.
Great, I thought. I quickly closed it and looked on. It showed up about 5 seconds later. I closed it again and it showed up 5 seconds later. This kept on happing for about 10 minutes until I got frustrated and finally read what it said.
"YOU HAVE BEEN ONE OUT OF TWO TO BE CHOSEN!!!!!!! Click here to enter the world of Wizards and Witches," the ad said. It showed a small scene from the third movie with the actors walking around Hogsmead. I rolled my eyes at it and closed it. It showed up again. I let out a small cry of frustration and looked at the ad again.
Why won't it go away?! I thought. I continued to close it and it kept on reappearing. I thought for a second about it. Maybe it might have not been one of those pop-up ads that have one of those catches to it. I then let out a laugh. Of course it has a catch. All of these ads have a catch to it! I decided to ask Ashley if she got the same thing.
Waterwitch 1617: hey, can I ask you a quick question?
CarZgurl4HP: Spill
Waterwitch 1617: did this pop-ad start to show up out of nowhere and every time that you close it, it comes back?
CraZgurl4HP: Yeah and it's pissing me off
Waterwitch 1617: so it isn't just me then.
Waterwitch 1617: why do you think it's not closing?
CraZgurl4HP: Our computers are stupid and the pop-ads stubborn
Waterwitch 1617: lol
I considered what Ashley said for a second. My computer was being a total mess at the moment. But then I considered something else. I typed it to her.
Waterwitch 1617: the pop-ups still shouldn't show up for me.
CraZgurl4HP: why?
Waterwitch 1617: I have pop-up blocker.
CraZgurl4HP: So does my mom's computer. But she still gets pop-ups occasionally. Maybe it's one of those pop-ups that can't be blocked
Waterwitch 1617: that's true… you think I should just click it so the ad could go away?
CraZgurl4HP: I'm gonna try it. You should to.
Waterwitch 1617: ok
I looked at the ad. The small ok button was a bright red color and would occasionally change to a gold one. I shrugged my shoulders at it and pressed the button. That's when it happened.
It felt as if I was being lifted off my chair and being pulled towards my computer screen. The room began to spin and I couldn't see anything. I closed my eyes so the sensation could go away but as quickly as it started, it stopped. I was still sitting but I knew something was different. I slowly opened my eyes and looked around.
I was sitting in the middle of a large field. This was shocking to me, mostly because there aren't that many fields in Miami so it wasn't something that I was expecting. I stood up slowly and looked around. On one side of the field there was a small path that, I'm guessing, lead into town. On the other side, mostly trees. I sat back down on the ground and put my hands towards my head.
Now what? I thought. I heard something move behind me. I turned around and saw that it was just a white horse. I didn't think much of it but then stood up quickly when I saw what was on its forehead. A horn.
"Ok," I said out loud. "Now I know for sure I'm not in Miami."
I decided just then that I should take the path. I rather face people I don't know of then face some creatures that I didn't know were dangerous or not.
