Don't Mess with Magic
I was home alone when I decided that I would try to summon something small. You know, a little faerie. Maybe a salamander. Anyway, I made my circle, I went out and got all the materials that I would need (no,I'm not telling you what they were,) and I set to my work.
I thought I chanted the proper words, but apparently I didn't. From the middle of my circle a light was starting to form. I got excited, I couldn't believe it actually worked! The light grew larger and started to turn red. Oh, it must be a salamander, I thought. Much to my dismay, the light kept growing. It grew until it was the size of a person hunched over.
Once the light cleared, there was a woman in red pleather lying on my floor. What the fuck did I just summon?! I was panicking, I forgot to look up the banishing spell and she was starting to wake up! What was I going to do?!
"Where am I?" the woman demanded.
"Ah! Uhm, m-my house," I replied, my voice was shaking, hell, I was shaking!
The woman smiled. That calmed me down a bit. I actually thought she was kind of pretty.
"And where would that be, kiddo?"
"Shelbyville, Illinois."
The woman blinked. She looked confused, and then angry. She pulled out a guitar from Lord knows where and pointed it at me.
"Don't play games with me," she said darkly.
I gulped. "I-I'm not," I stuttered. Why would she think- I smacked my forehead. "Fuck."
"I think you are. Now tell me where I am," she hissed.
I felt my cheeks flushed. "I'm not messing with you! I have no reason to!"
The woman sighed. "Whatever, I just want to leave. Now."
"Let me just find the banishing spell then," I mumbled, flipping through my book. Apparently she got curious and started to look over my shoulder. "What are you, by the way? I won't be able to send you back unless I know."
There was a pause. What? Didn't she know what she was?
"Aha," she said slowly. "Now I know what happened. While I was going through the time stream, you pulled me here. What year is this?"
It was my turn to blink in confusion. "Uhm, 2007. Why?"
She cursed under her breath, I guess. "I went too far back."
"Too far back?" I repeated. "You're a... Time traveler?"
She smiled. "Would you like to come with?" Now I could see her canines. They were really pointy.
"Uhm... I don't know, wouldn't that mess something up? Somehow?"
"Oh, don't worry about that, it's just a lie the governments made up so you wouldn't try to make you life better, or something," she laughed. I decided right then and there that she was crazy beyond any reasoning. "So? Do you want to come or not?"
"Eeh..." I stood thinking. Did I really want to leave my home for some unknown future? Would this really be safe? Would I ever be able to get home?! Before I could properly reply, the crazy woman grabbed my wrist and pulled me through this crazy purple-ish red thing in the middle of my room.
I felt like I was on a drug trip. All sorts of colors and lights flew around me. Greens turned into reds turned into oranges turned into white, blinding lights. I thought I was going to hurl on more than one occasion. It felt like we were flying, and then just floating, and after that, like we were underwater, and finally back to that flying sensation. I looked forward, towards my insane companion and saw a white light at the end of this thing. Oh, thank the gods! I thought. I couldn't take much more of this!
Once we were through that white light, I fell face-first into grass. I nearly cried, I was so happy to get out of that thing! Then my stomach flipped on itself and I blew chunks on that beautiful, solid grass.
"Happens to all first-timers," the woman smiled, rubbing my back. "Don't worry, it won't last long."
I hope she meant the sickness. After I was done, I rolled onto my back and stared at the sky. Good, it's the same blue as home's sky.
"Where are we?" I croaked.
"Almost late," she sounded worried. "I'll be back! Do not move!"
"Way to sound like my mom!" I think I called after her, I don't remember things too well when I throw up. That's why I'm not sure if she was flying over the side of the cliff or what.
I stayed on my back for a while, I wanted to just let my stomach rest. I sat up and freaked out when I smelled smoke, though. Shit, I thought, how the hell am I supposed to stay here when the forest is on fire?! Well, it wasn't, thank the gods. I looked over the side where she... flew off... and saw a factory on fire.
"Jesus Christ!" I groaned. Where is that crazy lady? "How long do I hafta sit here?"
"Don't worry, I'm done here anyway."
Author's Note: What the hell is this? A fanfic? From me? Jesus Christ, this thing has been sitting on my hardrive for a year now. Still working on it, so I thought I should post what I have. Hopefully I'll go through with this and finish it! I told myself that I would post it after I finished it, but posting it may give me that incentive to finish. Hope you liked it!
