Chapter 1: Once There Was A Girl...
"When the moon and the star point to the rose, the darkness shall flee..." Sang Rosalina.
"I'm not sure this is the right thing, dear." T.M nervously said to Rosalina.
"You need not worry, T.M., for I bestowed a blessing on the baby." Rosalina said gently.
"I know, but still, anything could happen." T.M. protested. Rosalina laughed. "You worry too much." She pointed to the baby. "She is a healthy baby girl." Rosalina said.
Rosalina tapped her chin.
"Hmmm...what shall we name her?" Asked Rosalina.
"How about Doomed?" Asked T.M. sarcastically.
"She is not doomed!" Rosalina scolded.
The baby yawned. It opened it's eyes and looked around. She looked outside of the window in the igloo. (Yes, the baby was born in an igloo.) She saw a star in the nighttime skies. She pointed at it.
"Star." She said. "Star!" She shouted happily.
She laughed and clapped her hands. Rosalina's eyes lit up.
"That's it! I will name her Esther! It means star!" Rosalina said.
Esther laughed again. She crawled toward T.M. He backed away. On his face shown a look of horror. Rosalina sighed, and picked up the baby.
"You know she does not even know she has powers, right?" Rosalina asked T.M.
"Ummm...right...just making sure..." T.M. muttered.
"And, you will be taking care of her until she is four." She told him.
"Yeah...I know..." T.M. said tiredly.
"Good." Said Rosalina. She stood up, kissed the baby's head, and disappeared.
T.M. picked up Esther carefully, as if she was dynamite about to explode. Then he vanished. He appeared in a room with walls blood red. On one wall was a bunch of chains. On one of the other walls, a giant black portal. On one of the other walls, there was a giant purple portal. In the purple portal, was a bunch of goldfish swimming around, as if the purple portal was a giant fish tank. On the last wall, there was nothing, but in front of the wall there was a podium. There was no microphone on it, instead there was a small red button. T.M. put down Esther on cold stone floor.
"Make yourself at home." T.M. muttered.
He walked over to the podium, and slouched up against it. There he watched Esther carefully. Esther looked at him. She smiled. Then, she yawned, and fell asleep. Just then, a short, black haired man with dark brown eyes and a light blue jacket with jeans walked through the purple portal. He looked at Esther and smiled. Then he looked at T.M.
"So, this is my daughter?" He asked dryly.
"No, Mickey, you are adopting her." T.M. growled.
"Now?" Mickey asked.
"No, when she is four." T.M. said.
Mickey grinned again. He pulled out a light blue bottle full of a green liquid. T.M's eyes widened.
"Mickey..." T.M. warned.
Mickey woke up Esther. She looked at him and smiled. Mickey gave her the bottle. She looked at it, mesmerized. She laughed and opened it up. Then she drank it. Immediately, her facial features bubbled and swirled, and her whole body began to grow. In those few strange seconds, Esther had gone from her newborn state into being four years of age, and she fell to the ground, apparently fainted.
"Take her to her other house!" T.M. hissed at Mickey.
Mickey quickly picked up Esther and shoved her through the black portal. Mickey was about to go into the portal himself, but then T.M. stopped him.
"Make sure to bring her back here when she turns seven!" T.M. told him. Mickey nodded and stepped into the black portal.
Esther dropped down into the air to the world. From a distance, a young man and woman were watching the sky. Meanwhile, Esther was hurtling toward earth, with Mickey right behind her. Mickey looked at the family of three, and disappeared. Meanwhile, the family looked up at the sky.
"Hmm..." said the mom.
"Do you think I am crazy when I see a comet?"
"No, I see it too..." The father said.
The family, backed off, as Esther hit the ground. When the dust cleared, the family crept forward. Esther looked at them with a smile and said,
"Hi."
The moment after Esther said hi, the man and woman's hair became snakes and burst into flames. The color drained from their faces. Their eyes became blood red. From their mouths grew fangs, dripping with blood. Esther looked at them with wide eyes and screamed. They looked at her blankly, as if she wasn't there, but she could see them, her eyes widened with horror and shock.
"Shall we go home, dear?" The father asked the mother in a strange, robot sort of tone.
"Yes, let us go." The mother answered.
And so, they walked home... Strangely enough, leaving Esther in the dust.
Esther, though, did not want to be alone, even though they scared her. So, she walked after the family, until they reached a dinky little house in the middle of nowhere. The family walked in, but forgot to shut the door. Esther walked in with them. I guess you would expect a creepy house for creepy people. But, actually, the house looked normal. The mom and dad walked up a flight of stairs. Esther followed them. The family walked into a bedroom and shut the door. Esther walked into the room next to the family's bedroom and shut the door. She didn't lock it, but she didn't have to. The door suddenly clicked shut. Esther was locked in.
She was too tired to care, though. She looked around the room. The walls were light blue and there was a bed and a dim lamp. There was also a window. Esther flopped onto the bed, exhausted. She woke up to a door being opened and shut. She looked at her door.
"Nope, not that one." she thought. "The family probably left." she thought again.
She tiptoed to her door. It was surprisingly open. She walked down stairs, to eat breakfast. She looked in the freezer. Chocolate chip waffles and bacon was all she could see. There was a note attached to one of the boxes. It read:
Dear Esther,
Soon, you be rid of this place, but for now, enjoy. (or try to).
Love, Mother
After Esther finished her breakfast, she rested a bit. When she woke up, it was 11:10. She went downstairs into the kitchen and opened a cabinet. In it were loaves of Italian bread. She looked in the fridge. Salami and white american cheese. She made a sandwich and ate it. Then, she went to sleep again. When she woke up, she heard the front door open.
"Oh no." she thought. "The family is home!"
Esther tiptoed to her bedroom door and peeked into the kitchen. Sure enough, the family was eating what looked like gray noodles in the shape of a... Brain. She realized what these monsters were.
"Zombies."
Esther swallowed a scream. She walked back into bed and cried silent tears the rest of the night. Esther woke up. She heard the door shut.
"Wait a minute... didn't this just happen yesterday?" She thought.
She walked downstairs and looked in the freezer. Yep, chocolate waffles and bacon. Same as yesterday. Except, there was no note. She ate her breakfast. And went back to sleep. After Esther's slumber, she looked in the cabinets. Italian bread. She looked in the fridge. Salami and white american cheese.
"What the..."
She thought again. She ate her lunch, and then went back to sleep. She awoke and knew that the family was home. She quietly sighed and went back to sleep. This time she had a dream.
There were three boys and a girl. They were falling, falling into darkness. The oldest boy had short black hair, dark brown eyes, a light blue jacket that was stained with blood and he was holding out his hand to a boy who was unconscious. The boy had brown spiky hair. He was wearing a black shirt with a white X across it. His shirt was also stained with blood. He had red shorts on. The last boy looked like he was paralyzed. He had flat silver hair and bright blue eyes. He was wearing a silver T-shirt that had bloody slash marks over his chest and ripped jeans. The last person, the girl, was holding out her hand to the paralyzed boy and screaming,
"RIKU!"
The girl had auburn hair and caramel colored eyes. She was wearing a tan T-shirt and green shorts. She had a brown messenger bag , and she was holding it tightly, like she was fearing that she might lose it. Suddenly, they all looked toward the screen of the dream and said in a cold, creepy voice,
"THE WAR IS A BURDEN, WE MUST PAY!"
Well well well! THAT ended at a cliff hanger, didn't it? I hope you read more of Light Into Shadows! I'll see you soon with another chapter from Light Into Shadows! See yaaa! :)
