Disclaimer: I don't own anything. I do quote a verse from
the bestest book in the world, "The BIBLE", Psalms 23!
Trapped
"Sarah you're going to be late!" A loud annoying voice
yelled from downstairs.
"Ya I'm coming!"
Sarah yelled as she glanced at the clock and notices the time. 7:30am. She had
less then a ½ to get ready for yet another dull, boring day of school as a
junior.
Sarah
quickly ran around her Victorian house, getting ready for the day, and by
7:50am was out the door.
Stepping
inside the prison of a school she muttered her daily prayer, "Even though I
walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil, for thou
art with me." Then she made her way through the crowded hall to her tiny green
locker.
"Sarah!"
Sarah
whipped her head around to the source of the person calling her name. Seeing
Amy, her blond, Brittany spears obsessed (as well as looking almost exactly the
same) friend, madly waving her hands to get her attention, she couldn't help
but smile. Sarah waved a delicate hand towards her friend, and then continued
her track to her locker. Several "hi Sarah's" were said as she walked. Sarah
never really understood it. She didn't think she was popular but everyone liked
her and said hi. She concluded they weren't using her or making fun of her, but
the popular kids actually liked her. It didn't matter much to her though. She
was perfectly happy just being by herself. She even made excuses not to do
stuff with them, like they would ask if she wanted to go to a party and she
would say "Karen wont let me" even though Karen wanted her to get out more. She
just couldn't handle too many people, being in school, with hundreds of her
peers, boys shoving each other, couples grasping each other, she just couldn't
be around that too much. Relieved to finally make it to her locker she
gradually emptied her backpack, trying to take less time so she wouldn't have
to make the laps around the school before the first class bell rung.
Thankful
her planned worked to stall time, she heard the bell, quickly grabbed her
schoolbooks and left for class.
"Today in
art we will be starting our new grad standard." The short, scrawny, brown
haired teacher told the class of 24 students. "I have the list of artists for
each of you, you'll be paired in partners."
The
students rushed to check the list while Sarah stayed behind, waiting for the
mindless teens to clear the way.
"We got
Escher!" A hyper, light haired girl rushed towards Sarah.
"Great!"
Sarah grumbled as she thought of the girl being her partner plus Escher,
his pictures brought back way too many throbbing memories. Well maybe not all
throbbing, some were….she smiled as she thought about a tall man, singing to
her as they danced in each other's arms.
"What's so
funny?" The girl wondered seeing Sarah smile.
"Umm.
Nothing. Ok lets get started." The girl skipped toward the books of Escher and
started collecting their supplies. The girl, Tara, was one of the people Sarah
could hardly stand. She was infuriating, annoying, and just a plain pain,
either complaining tremendously, or obnoxiously hyper and chipper.
Stacked
from head to toe with books in hand, Tara propped them on Sarah and her's desk.
Sarah grabbed one of the thick books and gradually flipped through the thin
pages.
When she
came to a very familiar picture, she couldn't help but let out a sigh of
sadness as she remembered her time spent in the place. "Relativity"
always one of Sarah's favorite images until her unexpected trip into a world of
Escher art, which upon her return, had removed all of the artwork which hung
around her room. She lightly studied the picture until something caught her
attention. She moved the book up towards her face, where she could examine it
closer. With a slight yelp of shock, she saw, deep within the background, a
small scene that she, herself had live through. There stood a small figure of
the Goblin King and herself, standing face to face on the maze of endless
stairs.

Ok like I said in the Authors Note, I'll get the NEW and
IMPROVED second chapter out as soon as possible!
