I do not own Disney.
Thunder boomed throughout the neighborhood as the rain poured down hard on the concrete. My name is Karen Gordon, and Im 13 years old.
It was another harsh day of terrible weather as I walked inside my family's home, feeling soaking wet from the rain. The rain water sllithered down my drenched short blonde hair and dripped onto the floor. My mother greeted me while giving me a towel.
"Welcome home dear... how was school?" Mother asked.
"Ok...I-I guess..." I said as I slid off my backpack.
Mother smiled a little then turned away. Mom and dad were once super strict with my older brother Leo and I until Leo ran away.
(Flashback)
Leo came home with a football in his hand, and his clothes dirty with grass stains and dirt. Mom and dad stood in the living room angry.
"Leo, where have you been?" Dad asked feeling testy.
"I was at Rex's house playing football." Leo glared.
Mother began shouting at him.
"DON'T YOU TAKE THAT TONE WITH US YOUNG MAN! You were supposed to study for your test!"
"I have been studying! I studied for days! I have memorized every answer that the stupid test but all I wanted was a break! You two have been pushing me and Karen too hard!"
"That's enough out of you!" Dad threatened. "You are going to continue to study whether you like it or not!"
"Or what?" Leo snarled. "Are you gonna ground me? Are you gonna take everything I own away just because I wanted to have a little break? Y'know what? No matter what Karen and I do, its never good enough for you! You even scared her into stuttering!"
"Leo that's not true!" Mom defended.
"Oh really? Last week you yelled at her just because she was trying to defend herself from a bully. Instead of telling her that you would be right behind her in dealing with that punk, you just had to care about what other people think!"
Leo then stormed out of the house.
"Leo wait!" Mom cried as she and dad followed.
"Where are you going?" Dad asked.
"Away. From the both of you!"
"Leo! Come back! Leo!"
I watched Leo leave from the window, ditching both mom and dad before they even had the chance to stop him... we waited a few days for him to come back, hopefully so that he could cool off...but he didn't... mom eventually called the police to look for him. Weeks had passed and still no sign of him... the police came over one day to tell us sad news.
"Mr. and Mrs. Gordon...we're sorry but... we couldn't find your son anywhere..."
"We understand... you did the best you could..." Dad said tearfully as mother bawled out.
I was in my room at the time, hearing every word from the quiet hallways. I started to cry...
(End of flashback)
After having a shower and a change of clothes, I greeted dad coming home from work, had dinner with mom and dad with the usual quiet dinner at the table, brushed my teeth, then I headed up to my room. I sat on my bed as the rain kept dropping from the sky.
Adjusting my glasses I reached over to my movie rack and pulled out as many Disney movies that I could... I smiled a bit, remembering how Leo and I always watch these movies together. We laugh at the funny moments and cried at the sad moments... there were times when we wished that the characters both good and evil were real...
Thunder boomed softly as my green eyes became weary for some odd reason. I placed the movies on the floor and took off my glasses and put them on my sidetable and fell asleep. I didn't think it was a big deal at the time, I only thought that I was just going to rest my eyes for a few minutes.
(3 hours later)
I was sleeping soundly through the thunder until something even more scary woke me up.
"Awaken..."
An old voice spoke within my mind.
My eyes fluttered open as I heard the mysterious voice, I sat up in my bed, feeling confused then reached out for my glasses and put them back on. The voice spoke to me again.
"Come..."
My heart pounded with fear, wondering who was calling to me. Have I gone insane? Or is this voice for real? I got up slowly wondering who was there.
"Wh-Who's there?" I asked as my veins were on ice.
There wasn't an answer but I saw my door opened by itself. I got on my black sneakers and ran out of my bedroom and went to my parents's bedroom door trying to open it and pounding on it.
"M-Mom! D-Dad!" I shrieked. "H-Help!"
The voice spoke again trying to calm me.
"Have no fear my child, I will not hurt you. Your parents can't hear you, they are in a deep sleep. Come and all will be explained."
Feeling the fear vanish within me, I slowly went downstairs where I saw mist in the living room...and I saw a brilliant light seeping out from the cracks of the front door.
"Open the door and come inside my tower..."
I hesitatingly touched the door knob the slowly turned it and opened the door, the light poured itself on me, engulfing me until it faded away, showing a giant tower that was standing in my front yard!
"Wh-What the?" I said feeling suprised.
I gathered my courage and went to the tower, I opened the door and there was a huge spiral of stairs! How was I supposed to reach to the top with so many stairs? I'd be dead tired by now! Just when I was about to go upstairs, a door magically appeared on my left.
"Go through this door. It'll save you the time."
The voice instructed.
I calmly walked over to the door and opened it. I happened to be in someone's office! There was a desk, alot of books, a fireplace...and a big chair that was facing away from me. It appears that whoever was in that chair was the one who called out to me... that was pretty obvious of me...sorry folks.
"H-Hello?" I squeaked.
The chair turned itself to face me, when I saw who it was, my jaw began to drop! It was an old man in a blue magician's outfit with a tall blue pointy hat with white stars on it, and he has a long grey beard. He looked at me and smiled kindly.
"Welcome Karen. I have been expecting you. We have much to discuss." The old man said.
"M-M-M-Master Yen Sid?"
I apologize for the rewritten chapter 1 it didn't look right to me.
I hope you still enjoy it. And Im working on the Lion King World chapter so don't worry.
