All right, hi, this is my first Fanfic so I know it's not going to be the best, but it will get better if y'all read and review and send me ideas.
Author's Note: This adventure is about 2 teens from the U.S. in the 21st Century that suddenly find themselves in Na--wait, if I tell you then that would sort of ruin the surprise, wouldn't it? (Although I'm pretty sure you can already could guess where they will end up.) Now here's the thing I changed about the Chronicles….since I wanted the story to be about 2 teens from the 21st Century I had to pretend that Narnia didn't come to an end in The Last Battle and thatTirian wasn't the last King of Narnia.
Disclaimer: None of Narnia is mine, no matter how much I wish it was. It all belongs to C.S. Lewis!
Well here it goes…….
THE BLACK FIRE
Chapter 1
Eagle Mountain High School
It was a beautiful fall day at Eagle Mountain High School, almost one month after school started. The bell had just rung signaling the end of 4th period and the beginning of lunch, so everyone was hurrying off to the cafeteria.
"Hey, Mallory." It was Wade, and he got in lunch line right behind Mallory. Wade was a pretty nice guy, but sometimes misunderstood and he didn't have many friends either. He was one of the most brilliant freshmen at Eagle Mountain (not that Mallory wasn't a brilliant freshman either) and he was quite a book worm, too. Mallory thought he was a pretty good looking guy with his golden blond hair, a crooked smile, and gorgeous blue green eyes. Wade thought that Mallory didn't look that bad herself, in fact sometimes he thought that she was so pretty he wondered why she wasn't very popular, but then he would tell himself that he wouldn't know because he wasn't popular himself. Mallory had shoulder length blond hair that looked like the color of corn ready to harvest in the fall, warm honey colored eyes, and a smile that seemed to be contagious like the flu.
"Hi," Mallory said back.
"So, how do you like the play we're going to do in Drama Club?"
"Well, to tell you the truth, I think it's kinda dumb. I mean, three kids wake up one morning to fine themselves in outer space in a different world than earth. And then there is a world war, good guys win and the three kids go home. The End." After Mallory said this she noticed Wade looked a little taken aback. "Oh, sorry, I take that you like it by the look on your face and all…"
"Well, sure I liked it."
"But don't you think Mrs. Dawn (she taught Drama Club) could have thought up a better play than that?"
"I know it's a bit rough around the edges, but when we perform it I think it will be all right."
"Whatever. I just can't believe she (Mrs. Dawn) is making 8th and 9th graders perform a play that involves a fantasy world."
"What fun would the play be without a fantasy world?"
"I don't know. I just prefer reality, that all. It's not like suddenly finding that you've been transported to another world is actually possible."
"That's what you think," muttered Wade.
"What did you say?"
Wade paused a moment. "What would you say if I told you that it's not as impossible as you think?"
"What do you mean?"
And with that Wade cautiously looked around the cafeteria as if he didn't want anyone to hear the words he was about to say. "Come with me," he said and grabbed Mallory's wrist and walked out of the lunch line pulling Mallory behind him.
"Hey, in case you didn't notice I was waiting in the lunch line for my dinner. I'm really hungry, aren't you?"
"This will only take a few minutes." Mallory sighed.
By now Wade had pulled Mallory out of the cafeteria and was headed down to the theater. As you might have noticed both of them took Drama Club after school and Mrs. Dawn was the teacher (or president you could call her) and they were just beginning the winter play The War in Outer Space (the one Mallory described earlier). And when they walked into the theater Mallory said:
"Ok, so what are we doing here?"
"It's in the props room."
"What is?"
"You'll see."
As Mallory and Wade waked to the props room they could hear their foot steps on the wooden floors and when they talked earlier they could hear their voices echoing in the large room. Seconds later they stopped in front of the big wooden door labeled 'PROPS'.
"But won't it be locked?" Mallory asked just as Wade reached forward to turn the door handle. Mallory's question was soon answered when she heard the handle click and Wade swung the door open.
"Naw," Wade said, "the janitor never locks it unless he finds out that kids have been sneaking into here." Mallory could tell that he said the last part with a bit of a laugh and couldn't help but giggle herself.
"Here is it," said Wade as he and Mallory walked through the doorway, pointing to the huge trunk lined up against the western wall.
"And what so special about that trunk?"
"Well once," Wade began," actually I shouldn't say once because it was just last week, Greg Peterson was chasing me down because in biology he was trying to cheat off my test, but Mr. Schmee caught him so he got a zero and Greg seemed to think that it was my fault that he was caught. And I could tell that when the bell rung I would be history if I didn't find place to hide. So the bell rings and I bolt out of the biology lab still not knowing where I was going to hid or what I was going to do, but I knew that Greg was chasing right after me. And by the time I got down to the end of the hall way I had no choice but to hide in the theater because I was getting tired. So I ran in through the double doors and would have collapsed on the floor if I hadn't heard Greg fumbling with the door handle, and since the props room was the closest door, that's where I went--."
"Wade," interrupted Mallory, "where is this story going exactly? I want to get back to lunch before it's over." She was beginning to get bored and a little bit suspicious about this whole thing and Wade could tell by the tone of her voice.
"I'm almost done. Now where--oh yeah. So I burst into the props room, but I knew Greg saw me run inside because I could hear his footsteps coming closer to the door every second. And before I knew what I was doing I was crawling into this trunk (Wade pointed to the trunk again). And while I was trying to get comfortable I realized that something wasn't quite right, but I didn't know what until I tried to lie down on my stomach. When I put my head down I almost sneezed because I just rubbed my nose in something that felt and smelled like grass. So I stood up and immediately knew I wasn't in the trunk anymore because when I looked around I saw I was standing in a clearing in a wood and in the center of the clearing there stood an old fashioned lamp post ,but it didn't appear to look like it worked anymore. Then I decided to go look around and I didn't get far when I heard a really loud rumbling noise that sounded like a waterfall. But when I started walking towards the waterfall I saw something about the size of a cat that was brown and furry, scurry up a nearby tree. I thought it almost looked like a giant squirrel. And before I went one step further--."
"Wade this is all, uh really interesting, but now I really have to go. I'm starving! And maybe you should think of stopping by the nurse's office…"
"You don't believe me, do you?"
"No, sorry, I don't," said Mallory shaking here head as she walked to the door and Wade sat down on the trunk. Probably going to start sulking when I leave thought Mallory. But as she turned the door handle she couldn't help but think that Wade wasn't making everything up. After all why would he want lie to me?
Then Mallory turned to Wade. "See ya at Drama Club, Wade."
"Yeah," he said. Mallory thought that he looked sort of hurt because she didn't believe him, but she was wrong.
And with that Mallory walked out the door, closing it behind her and was headed back to the cafeteria.
But when Mallory left, Wade wasn't sulking like she thought he was going to, instead his mind was spinning with tons of ideas and thoughts on how he might be able to get Mallory to come with him to this 'other world'. And when a perfect plan arrived in his brain, he couldn't help but start thinking some of it out loud.
'Today, in Drama Club….I'll, yes. And then she'll see….and follow me. Perfect!" Wade exclaimed and ran out of the props room and then the theater hoping that he could still get something to eat before 5th hour started. He had a plan, and his spirits were gradually rising but knew the rest of the school day was going to go very slowly because he was waiting for that afternoon--for Drama Club.
Author's Note: So what do you think? I know the first chapters are going to be a bit boring, but I promise they will get better, I PROMISE! Remember to please read and review!
