Chapter 1

Darkness. Why is it so dark?
Falling. Where am I? How long have I been falling?
Silence. It's too quiet! My head is going to burst!
What happened? A flash of red. Laughter. Sirius' own laughter. Her face as she raised her wand. As she spoke the curse. Another flash of red. Pain. Pain shooting through him like lightning! Falling. Through the ragged black veil. Into darkness. Into silence.
Am I dead? He must be dead. He had heard stories about the arch. No one ever came out, once they went in. He had gone in. I'm not coming out! Will I be falling forever? Have I fallen into some kind of... limbo?
Just as this thought left his mind, he saw a bright light below him. The light was blinding after the long dark. He closed his eyes for a few seconds. When he opened them his heart jumped up into his throat when he saw ground coming up to meet him!
Ow, he thought dully as his head hit the ground. He sat without moving for a couple of minutes until his head stopped throbbing enough to form a coherent thought.
After a few minutes Sirius sat up and looked around. The room was white and very large. There was no furniture. There was a large, black, oval door against the far wall. He looked up at the ceiling. There was nothing different about it; it was just as plain as the walls and floor. He stood up and walked to the door. He grabbed the silver handle, and pulled. The door was locked!
Then the panic set in. Where am I? What happened to me? Why am I here? These thoughts, among others, ran around his head faster than his mind could process them.
He heard a soft clicking noise and the door began to swing open. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'm evil! I've rewritten parts of this because I think the ending of this chapter REALLY sucked before.
