Not Alone

Ch 1

Zita was in the park alone. She was riding the carousel. She had brown hair, green eyes, slender bodied. She was very creative and loved to write stories. The carousel made her think of her favourite show the Magic Roundabout. She loved to laugh while watching it and felt good when it was over for the day. She was also disabled and visually impaired.

She wished she could live in a world like the Enchanted Village where everybody was friends and adventures were had everyday. She smiled as she rode on it for a while. But later it was nearly time for dinner. She then felt weird as the carousel glowed and spun around fiercely. Suddenly she vanished. In the Enchanted Village Zebedee had woken up as dawn broke. He'd had a weird dream that a girl from another world would come but he'd also saw Zeebad in the dream lurking in the shadows. He then heard the others call for him. "I wonder what they want. What did my dream mean? It was so weird. Maybe it means something." He thought as he vanished and appeared in the village square. He saw Sam and the others crowding around something.

He then gasped when he saw what they were looking at. It was the girl from his dream. She was asleep. "Where did she come from?" Florence asked nervously. "From another world unlike ours. I had a dream last night about this. I don't think she means us harm." Zebedee answered her softly. "She's waking up man!" Dylan said sleepily. Zebedee then got them to make room so he could talk ro this child. "Wow! I…I'm in the Enchanted Village! This is cool. Hey I'm Zita Roben. I come from a world that is not cool. This world is much nicer. I won't hurt you guys. I don't have powers. I was in the park on the roundabout when it glowed and I ended up here." She told him. "Hello Zita and welcome to the Enchanted Village." Zebedee said bringing his gloved hand to hers.

But in his prison in the Roundabout Zeebad too was curious about Zita. He could use her to get rid of Zebedee and destroy the Village. "I have to gain her trust first. Zebedee and his friends already have it but I'm sure I could." His evil mind thought as he watched them. Zita saw Sam stare at her symbol cane. "It's to help people know that I have sight problems but that's not important. I always wanted friends like you and your friends. You guys are always so happy. Only I know someone who's not. Zeebad always thinks being mean and unhappy is fun but if he'd knew what it felt like, he'd reconsider. Where I come from. most people are like that especially to people who are different like me." Zita told him as they played soccer. Zeebad smiled evilly when he heard that and got an idea. He couldn't take over the Village but he could take over Zita's world and make it cold and cruel like him. "I just need to see what world she comes from." he cackled as he waited for her to fall asleep. "You seem really nice for a kid from another world." Florence said to Zita. They then had a picnic. Zita watched in awe as Zebedee used his magic to make the food appear. "Thar was cool!" Zita told him. Zebedee blushed a little at that.

"Thanks Zita. You can... live with me." he said to her. Zita hugged the Magical Springer. "You mean I can live here? Yes!" she whooped. Sam laughed as she threw a few tennis balls for Dougal to catch. Sam liked Zita as well as the others but Zebedee liked having somebody like Zita around, someone full of life and imagination like him. Zeebad then read Zita's mind and cackled when he saw Earth. "That's where I need to go." he told himself as he used his magic to vanish. Later it was night time and Zita was in Zebedee's house. He was in bed but she was in a sleeping bag on the floor beside him. "What're you thinking about?" she asked him softly. "I was thinking about my father. He wasn't a nice man. He was mean to me because I was different." Zebedee answered quietly. "I understand. Mt Dad didn't like me either because I'm disabled. He's probably ashamed of me." Zita replied to him. "But you're awesome. You shouldn't go back there. The Village will always be your home." he told her as he hugged her. She felt good and fell asleep. He chuckled at that. "Goodnight Zita." he whispered as he closed his eyes and fell asleep...
