The Door
Chapter 1
The pounding in my heart was getting stronger as I got closer to the door. I was scared but excited to know what was behind it. I turned the cold, creaky doorknob, and opened the door. Then everything went dark…
The next day, well I thought it was I woke up; I couldn't remember what happened. But when I went to get up, I couldn't move. My legs were chained to a stake in the ground. I looked around and I could see that I was in a cell. I was scared and curious to know where I was. Then I heard it, the scraping on the ground, the muffled voices, and the movements of something outside my cell. I saw a tiny sliver of light.
The sound got louder and louder and the light got brighter and brighter. Then it was outside my cell. I could hear voice of a man and a woman.
"Why do I have to take care of the girl?" the woman asked the man.
"Because you're the one who let her see the door, and until the elders find a way to get her back to her world, she's stuck here," the man told the woman. He started to walk away, but turned back to the woman, "And don't forget, if anything happens to the girl, it's your wings that pay for it, Lucy," he left without another word.
The woman started to cry. "Please don't cry," I pleaded to the woman.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were awake yet," Lucy apologized.
"It's alright, what's your name, if you don't mind me asking," I asked her kindly.
"My name is Lucy Starheart, what's your name, little one?" Lucy asked stepping into the light. She had a beautiful white dress on, and blonde hair that came down to her back. Her eyes looked like chocolate and honey mixed together. She also had porcelain skin and pink fluffy lips.
"I'm Rachel Storm, nice to meet you." I told her, smiling lightly. We stared at each other for what felt like hours. "Um, could you let me out of here?" I asked her.
"Are you hungry?" Lucy asked after she undid the chains on my legs.
"Ye-," I started to say but was interrupted when a scream erupted from my mouth. I had stood up and then I noticed that I was different. My once brown hair was now black and had yellow tips and my once hazel eyes where amber color. And my clothes were different also yesterday I was wearing a black t-shirt and black jeans, but now I was wearing a black floor-length dress. Oh did I also mention I had wings? They were a midnight black color but then it faded in to a morning yellow.
When I looked at the girl, she looked shocked but quickly recovered and told me something that I thought only existed in fairy tales," I'm a fairy and I guess you are too."
I was shocked to say, but the wings felt just natural on my back like it was a part of me I just unlocked. Then I noticed that she also had wings; they were a pretty yellow that faded into a beautiful rose-pink.
