SRMTHFG! in: The Wizard of Oz!
Chapter One
It was a nice sunny day with perfect wind, and the right amount of clouds in the sky, in the middle of June. I lay my bed against my back, staring at my ceiling. My headphones were in my ears playing Valentine's Day by Linkin Park. My female Bengal cat, Taeta, slept on my stomach, relaxed by my slow breathing, and how I stroked her fur. The windows were opened, and the gentle cool wind surrounds the room. My eyes were pink, puffy, and damp. I have been crying for about 3 hours, straight. Why? Simple;
It has been three days since the death of my family. They died in a car accident, because some friggin' truck driver didn't see them, and knock the van right out of the freeway. I was the only survivor with a cut on my leg, bruised, and aching all over my body. Two people took me in, and I moved into a nice Japanese mansion. My adopting "parents" were really my family's maid Ella, and the butler, Mr. Tanaka. Ever since we moved in, I haven't stop thinking about the accident, and what was before my eyes. I'm still traumatized from it, and it feels me with fright and guilt. All of the sudden, a knock came to my door.
"Hm?" I took off my headphones, and look at my door. "Come in…" I say, trying to dry my eyes.
I see Ella step in. Ella was a little shorter than me. She wore a blue short-sleeved dress with a white pink-laced apron, and yellow slippers over her socks. Her skin was dark, but she was jamican/dutch (You could hear it in her accent). Her short curly red hair blended perfectly with her dark navy blue eyes, small gold hoop earrings, and red lipstick.
Then Mr. Tanaka came in, next to Ella. Mr. Tanaka was about 6 feet tall. He was japanese, had his black hair cut, and wore his white glasses in pride. He was dressed like any butler. The same fancy white longsleeve shirt, pleated black pants, black dressy shoes, fancy black sweater over his shirt, and his small lavender bow tie underneath the collar of his shirt.
"Mari, sweetie, are you alright?" Ella asks in her rough, yet, gentle and sweet voice.
Taeta walks off my belly as I sat up.
"…I'm not sure…" I say with a shrug and sniff.
"Oh… Mari…" Ella walks over to me, and hugs me close. I softly hug her back. Mr. Tanaka comes over, and bows his head to me.
"Ms. Mari-san, is there anything Ella and I could do to make you feel any better?" he asks, his glasses somewhat shining.
"Not unless you can change the past…" I softly murmured.
Mr. Tanaka and Ella look at each other. Now they see the problem.
"Mari, I think you need a nice little dessert to cheer you up." Ella said to me. "Sweet things help cure heart-aches."
"Sounds nice…." I reply with a sniff. "Sure, I'll have something…"
They smile.
"Okay Mari, I'll get to work." Ella began to leave my room.
"And I will assist Ella in the dessert." Mr. Tanaka said with a bow, and closed the door behind him.
I half-smiled, and then went back to listening to my music.
And So I slept…But then…
"MARI!"
"MS. MARI-SAN!"
I opened my eyes, and saw two panicked Ella and Mr. Tanaka in my room. I sat up, and rubbed my eye.
"What..?" I asked, half a sleepily.
"We must get to shelter, immediately!" Mr. Tanaka exclaimed.
"There is a storm heading this way!" Ella ended.
I widen my eyes, and felt the wind growing stronger, as the dark gray clouds came.
"This way Ms. Mari-san!" Mr. Tanaka exclaimed, lending out a hand. I took it, and the three of us ran down the stairs. At the bottom, I remembered something, and let go of Mr. Tanaka's grip.
"Wait! I need to get Taeta!" And with that, I bolted up the stairs.
"No! Ms. Mari-san!" Mr. Tanaka exclaimed!
"Just wait for me in the shelter!" I called from upstairs. "I'll be there!"
I barged into my room, and see Taeta mewing uncontrollably.
"Taeta!" I exclaimed at her, and hold her close in my arms.
She purred happily, and rubbed her head against my arms.
"Everything's gonna be alright, let's go!" I said, and head for the door.
But then the wind had gotten stronger, and my desktop and shelves began falling over. My desktop got caught on my curtains, and ripped. The curtains landed on me and Taeta.
"AAhh!" I exclaimed, trying to get detangled from it.
Ella had opened the shelter door, and saw Mr. Tanaka still standing by the back door.
"Tanaka, get inside!" Ella yelled at him.
"Not without Ms. Mari-san!" He yelled back.
"Mari will be here soon! Get in here!"
At first, he hesitated, but Mr. Tanaka got inside. But when he did, the house flew away.
"NO! MS. MARI-SAN!" He exclaimed.
Ella's eyes watered, and she began to pull Mr. Tanaka in. "Tanaka!" she said to him. "….It's too late…."
The two look at the house going away, with the hurricane.
"…Ms. Mari-san….." Mr. Tanaka said, disappointedly.
As the house rotated, I only screamed, holding my cat tighter in my arms. We kept spinning and spinning, and spinning, and spinning, and spinning, and spinning, until…we landed.
Well, that's the first chapter! Sorry for it being too short! But next chapter will be better, exciting, and longer! 'Til then!
