Phoenix: Yes! My very first story~
Unborn Phoenix: Yeah, yeah, yeah... I came up with most of the ideas though...
Phoenix: Uwaa! No you didn't!
-Phoenix and Unborn Phoenix fight-
Phoenix: Anyway, read and review please~
When a book is written, there is always a reader. Then, there are those few who can feel themselves in the pages of the book. With the story, Life in Death, the reader will always engage in the book... Literally.
-Unborn Phoenix now presents to you... Life in Death-
"Welcome to my bookstore, madam." The blonde woman smiled warmly at the manager, "Thank you, but I'm just here to meet someone." The store manager folded his arms, "Who may that be?" The woman fiddled with her hair, "He's my husband, Kyoura Mikago." The manager nodded and smiled confidentely, "He's the top seller this week. He should be there, in the back."
"Thank you very much, sir." The manager smiled as the woman hurried to meet her husband. Upon reaching him, she hugged him, "Kyo-chan!" Kyoura smiled, "I'm sorry Sarah, I've been away for quite some time." She shook her head, "No, it's only been a couple of years you missed out on." She sarcastically said, "Ne, Kyo-chan, what's that?"
"This? It's my new book. You should read it, it was dedicated to you anyway." Sarah smiled and reached for the book, "Life in Death? That doesn't sound like a good title." Sarah wrinkled her nose, "Hey, its not all that bad!" Sarah giggled, "Don't worry, I'll read it before bed."
"Of course you will. See you tomorrow night." Sarah kissed her husband and ran out of the store in a hurry. Of course all of Kyoura's books were good; they were excellent! Exciting and thrilling fantasy books that could make you think you were part of it!
Sarah opened her door and threw her keys onto the kitchen counter. She closed the door and walked into her bedroom. Sitting on the small bed, Sarah turned the light on. She opened the book and started to read:
There once was a great land, larger than any had ever seen. It was peaceful and great for farming. The stillness in the air was always undisturbed, but that was because… No one had set foot in that place for years.
Sarah narrowed her eyes quizzically, "Hmm? That's weird. The font is different than the usual…"
Those who read this book's first page shall always and forever be trapped in it, until the book has come to its end!
Sarah suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest. She dropped the book and fell to the floor, "Urk…" She panted for breath as her sight slowly dissolved away. Her arms relaxed as darkness blinded her sight, and her breath was stolen by the book.
Waking up on a fresh sheet of snow, Sarah shivered. She was dressed in a plain white night gown with slippers. She sneezed loudly and rubbed her arms in a bad attempt to keep warm. Sarah rose to her feet and looked around her, "That's weird, it's supposed to be spring…" Sarah shivered once more and walked forward a few steps before collapsing again, "Oh dear, it's so cold…"
"Are you alright, milady?" A man riding a white horse extended a hand to her. Sarah instinctively took it and was pulled onto the horse, "I'm not fine. I've no idea where I am!" The man chuckled and kicked his horse lightly so it moved forward, "You see milady, you are in the town of Seireitei. A small town, yes, but it is a significant town, so true."
"I don't suppose you have any proper clothes for this kind of weather?" Sarah asked while sneezing once more, "Ah yes, many have been coming to this town lately." Sarah looked up, "What did you say?"
"Many foreigners have come, near this time o' year." The man smiled at woman he was familiar with, "Ya see milady, you are in 'the book.'" Sarah grew curious, "What book?" The man smiled, his orange hair moving as he turned back, "In the book you were jus' readin' a while ago. Life in Death."
Phoenix: Well? What did you think? I know its really off, and the chapter is really short, but I'm sure they'll get longer!
Unborn Phoenix: Well... The characters are really OOC
Phoenix: I have to make it that way...
Unborn Phoenix: Harumph! It's better when it's the reagular personality, much more harder to bend then
Phoenix: Nuh-uh! This is my story, stay out of it and make you're own!
Unborn Phoenix: Fine, be that way you vile woman!
Phoenix: Random thought... If you put the 'e' in front of 'vile' instead of at the end, it becomes 'evil.'
Unborn Phoenix applaudes: Wow! You're smart.
Phoenix glares silently at Unborn Phoenix: ...I will kill you one day -turns to reader- REVIEW for me please... It's just the box down there below this text! It's not hard
