The Kingdom
Chapter 1
Starring Leslie Burke as I
Standing right in front of the kingdom of Terabithia…
I was extremely pleased about what Jesse Aarons had done. He had made the kingdom into the most wonderful place in the world. I, myself would have enjoyed thinking that idea with him.
My death was a mistake. The rope I swung was a tad bit old and thin. The night before my death, I just happened to eat 20 ounces of beef. It was Bill's home made beef and I hadn't eaten it for a long time. The next morning, I got up and went to Terabithia. I thought Jesse was there. He wasn't. I thought he went a little bit further, so I grabbed the rope and swung.
"NOOOOOOO0000000oooooooo" I shouted as I fell into the river. I shouted for help desperately. No one came. I prayed to the Terabithian Gods for I knew I could never swim back up.
I opened my eyes. Surveying the place around me, I could tell I wasn't in Terabithia any more. I saw the sun brighter than ever. I saw the moon dark and gloomy.
A mysterious figure came to me.
"Leslie Burke is it? Welcome to the real Terabithia. I'm the Human God. I bring all who know about Terabithia here when they die." The figure said.
"Yes, I'm Leslie Burke… wait! Do you mean Jesse will be here when he dies?!" I exclaimed in my surprise.
"Yes, if you mean Jesse Aarons. After all, you did introduce your imagination to him." the God said.
"Can I look around Terabithia?" I asked him.
"You are currently in the portal in the castle…so you may walk around the gardens as much as you'd like. Heed my warning: stay only in the castle and the gardens. If you want to stay here forever and see Jesse after a while, you have to follow what I say today. I haven't registered you yet. You will disappear to Hell's Room for Terabithians if you disobey my orders today." the God said.
"Where do I sleep?" I asked.
"You will stay at a hotel. Here's a magical map. The map will show you where it is. To look more closely on the road, tap on the location. I must be off now. Heed my warning! I wish you the best of luck!" the God shouted and went off.
And so Leslie walked silently off to the gardens following her magical map. In the afternoon, she planned to explore the castle. I t was very early in the morning as the sun's rays hit the windows. Leslie heart pumped in her chest quickly. I t was so exciting!
