"Wow, this amazing," I said as I held onto the wooden railing. I looked out at the mountains, Biltmore was beautiful in the fall; my class came for a felid trip. The trees were a mixture of gold, red, yellow, orange. It was chilly here up in the mountains, enough for my teeth to be chattering, while wearing a light jacket.
"Wow Laura, is it amazing, or what?" Asked John, my best guy friend, as he stood next to me.
"Yeah." I agreed, "Although, it would be a lot better if I was warmer." I smiled.
John laughed and hugged me, rubbing my arms, trying to warm me up. I laughed as he started singing; he and I were both in chorus class. We're the best singers in our entire school; we've both won competitions, and talent shows.
"Good god, what is that?" one of the tourists asked. He pointed over the rail, at the side of the mountain.
Everybody ran to the railing and looked over the edge. John and I looked with everybody else. What I saw completely stunned me; a giant, black hole was opening in the face of the mountain. Everyone pushed and shoved to get a better look, John and I were forced against the rails. Suddenly the ground started to shake, I shrieked as I toppled over the railing.
"Laura!" John shouted as he reached for me, holding onto my wrist.
"John!" I cried. "Please, don't let go!" I begged trying to climb up the side of the mountain.
"Laura, hold on." John yelled.
He tried to pull me up, then the ground shook again, making John loose his balance and fall over the rail right behind me. I screamed as he and I fell towards the hole. John grabbed onto me and braced ourselves for death.
Funny thing, when we should have imprinted ourselves into the earth, we went through the earth and found ourselves falling through the sky. Soon I hit a branch, then another, then another. Soon I was hitting the ground, trying to catch my breath.
"Ouch." I groaned, I sat up, "John?" I asked, "John?" I called, "John!" I screamed. I looked around, I couldn't find him, he wouldn't answer me, "Where are you?" I whispered as tears rolled down my face.
*Lost*
I grabbed onto Laura as we fell, when we fell into the black hole I lost my grip on her and flew in another direction. "Laura!"
I looked down as I fell and saw I was heading straight for a glacier. When I landed, I landed hard, and slid far and fast down a hill. When I stood I saw a small village, about a mile away.
"People." I sighed; I was relieved, and cold.
I started for the village; I noticed there were a bunch of red figures surrounding a bunch of blue. As I got closer I noticed the red were big men, they looked like soldiers and they wore really weird armor, their faces strong, mean, and fierce. The blue was a group of women and children, terror showed on their faces. The village was surrounded by a barrier, when I slid down the hill I was surrounded by three men in the weird red armor.
"Hey, what's going on here?" I asked as they pushed me toward the group of scared faces.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" a boy with a wicked scar on his left eye asked as he approached us.
"My name is John, I somehow got transported here and I need to find my way home. You see I lost a friend, and don't know where she is." I explained.
"You lie, you probably work for the avatar, you're just trying to distract me, to put me off course, but that will not happen. I will find him, I will find the avatar, and I will restore my honor." The kid grumbled.
Okay, this kid is crazy.
"Somebody has issues." I crossed my arms and watched him, steam came out of his nose as he huffed.
"Guards take him to the ship." They boy grumbled.
The three men who surrounded me grabbed onto me and started dragging me towards a giant metal ship.
"Wait, what are you, hey, stop, wait, let me go." I shouted as I fought them.
"Laura!" I shouted "Laura! Somebody help me!" I shouted.
"Silence." One of the guards said.
"Prince Zuko, what is going on?" an old man asked as he walked past me. I glanced back, Zuko looked angry.
"Uncle." He said, I saw him point at me, "This boy works with the avatar, he'll lead me to him."
"Say what?" I asked, "Now you're the one that's lying, I don't even know what an avatar is you retard." I shouted.
"Silence!" Zuko shouted, "I will not be tricked; now everybody on the ship, we have the avatar to find."
Zuko started for the ship, while his guards followed him, dragging me along with them. I continued to struggle against them until I felt my arm start to get warm; I looked at the hand gripping it. The hand was starting to glow red; I pulled away from it when my arm started to burn.
