Chapter 1:
Her eyes had adjusted but her mind had not quite done the same thing. She couldn't process why this place was so dark, when there was such a large moon. That moon. She couldn't apprehend that either. It held such an unusual figure. A heart. The thing that truly confounded her was exactly what the place was. She was in the alley of a large city. She knew that. However, it was so bizare.
As she walked, the bottoms of her jeans became soaked from the puddles she stepped through. The rain was cold as it beat down on her face and bare shoulders. It caused her hair to frizz, as her curls began to reshape. Every minute she would raise her hands up and try to smooth down the curls. Soon this habit started to occur every thirty seconds, then ten, eventually she became obsessed with keeping the tawny ringlets subdued.
There wasn't a soul in the city. She had been roaming for hours and hadn't seen a single person. However, this place didn't seem nearly as lonely as the world she had grown up in. She was never...pleasing to the eye. She didn't have that perfect figure that everyone around her always strived for. Her brown hair was so unruly and never stayed in place. There were so many times she had to schedule emergency hair appointments due to the fact that she ran the straightener over it so many times it burns and frayed.
She grew up believing if you weren't beautiful you were nothing. Her big boned physique never changed no matter how much she wished it to. She wasn't overweight, there probably wasn't even a bit of fat on her body because she exercised so much. But it was never enough. She didn't just outcast herself either. Everyone shunned her for her appearance. She didn't really have any friends. She had never had a boyfriend. The pretty girls teased her, the boys wouldn't even talk to her. She would go out of her way to avoid people when the bell rang and they had to go to their next classes. Most people didn't even know her name. She never spoke unless she had to. She was a total recluse. That's why this place seemed perfect to her, there was nobody her to bother her. No one she could compare herself to, no one that would make her life completely miserable.
She continued meandering the alleys and streets for about another hour. At this point she was sopping wet and cold. She wrapped her arms around herself in hopes of conserving body heat. Suddenly, something caught her eye. Though the city was filled with skyscrapers, this one was different. It must have been the tallest, and there was something odd behind it. She walked closer, slowly, cautiously. It was a castle of some sort. Yes, definitely a castle. But, it was floating. As if this world hadn't been strange enough. It seemed so far off. There was no way she would continue walking all that way. Her energy was spent already.
However, she continued gradually toward the large skyscraper. And once she arrived she let herself fall to the ground, she pressed her back against the dry metal wall of the building. It had been the first time she had rested since she found herself here. She allowed her eyes to close as she let her head tilt backward and she sighed. She sat like that for a few minutes, completely calm. Come to think of it. Calm is the only thing she had felt since she had been here. She wasn't scared, nor happy. She didn't really feel anything at all.
She was abruptly interrupted by an odd sound, and a shadow over her eyelids as if something was blocking the light from the moon overhead. She slowly lowered her head before opening her eyes. When she did, she came to focus on a pair of black boots. Slowly, she began to raise her eyes, almost meeting those of a violent orange. Her eyes did not rest there for very long though, just as it had been before. She could never hold eye contact with anyone. A man stood there with an outreached hand and there was silence for a few seconds.
"It would be wise for you to come with me"
Nope! You don't get to know her name yet P I hope you like it. Review?
