A/N: Hi guys! So I was on the way to school this morning and an AMAZING story idea came into mind and I was just so excited to write it down! Btw Carin I was going to tell you about it but I forgot so….. Surprise amazing story idea!
PROLOGUE
Twigs snapped under my feet as I ran. My dog let out multiple yips ahead of me, letting me know that he had found something. I pushed multiple branches out of the way as I ran towards the dog. As soon as the dog was in my line of sight, I slowed to a stop beside him. His gaze was fixed on something beyond a wall of bushes, bordering the outside of the forest. Cautiously, I forced myself to move through the bushes, even as thorns pricked my arms and legs.
Outside of the forest was a huge expansive plain. The first thing I noticed was the fresh air. I hadn't even known how polluted the air I breathed in my city was until now. The air seemed to clear a heavy fog in my head, and when my eyes focused, I saw something unlike anything I'd ever seen in my entire life. Twelve huge glittering castles towered over a massive sparkling city. The sun refracted off the walls of the beautiful buildings blinding me. That was when I noticed the walls were made of crystals and gems. The architecture of the buildings as well was spectacular. Scientists thought the structures of ancient Rome and Greece were spectacular. These buildings however were unlike anything that had ever been witnessed by mankind.
Sitting by a tree not to far away were two beautiful humans. At least, they looked as though they were human. The one closest to the small girl standing on the outside of the forest had dazzling blonde hair and intense brown eyes with golden specks in them. Beside the girl was a boy who had a movie star worthy smile and teal eyes. They were talking quietly to one another in a strange language the girl couldn't understand. Suddenly, as though the girl had noticed the human on the fringes of the forest watching them, her head swiveled around, her eyes fixing on the small girl.
I watched as the beautiful girl pulled the boy up to his feet before they started slowly walking towards me. Then I heard the voice of the girl this time speaking in english, directly to me.
"It's ok! Don't run, we won't hurt you," the girl promised with a confident smile. Trembling slightly, I remained still as they approached. The girl stopped in front of me, bending down on her knees so she was eye level with me. Gently she took my hand.
"Where's your parents?" she wondered, tilting her head slightly.
"Gone" I whispered, a tear slipping down my cheek. The girl slowly pulled me into a hug as more tears fell, which I accepted. As I leaned into her shoulder I felt my dog rub up against me. Meanwhile the boy simply stood there, watching silently.
When my tears stopped flowing, I stood up. I'm not sure why I did this, but I ran. I ran away from the glittering city and the 'humans'. When the disgusting air of my city filled my lungs, I broke off into a coughing fit. My bare feet hurt as I ran along the sidewalks, my dog keeping pace. As soon as I found the alley, I ran towards the door concealed within. I pushed it open, the dim light from inside the room filling the alley with an ominous light. An older girl, seventeen, met me with a kind smile. I wasn't sure why, but I told her everything. I didn't know the consequences for the 'other side'. I was scared, so I told her every little thing.
