Jewely was curled up on her white, pluffy couch, a book plopped open in her lap. The book, of course, was Midnighters.
"Jewely," her mom called from upstairs, she was folding the laundry, which was suppose to be Jewely's chore.
"What?" Jewely mumbled, still deeply in her book.
"Stop reading!" her mom was demanding her to do the impossible, "you have to practice piano!"
"Okay, fine," she kept on reading.
"Jewely! I don't hear any music!"
"Okay, okay, one minute!"
"Not one minute-NOW!"
Jewely sighed, stuck a bookmark in her page, and sat heavily on the piano bench. It wasn't the fact that she didn't like piano (she did), but she hated when her mom got all pushy like that and make her stop in the middle of a really, really, really good book. Even if it was one she read about ten million times.
While her fingers were playing the keys, her mind was miles away, in Bixey, Oklahoma to be exact.
I wonder how the darklings ripped through blue time. Poor Jessica, I hate the ending to the trilogy! It was so sad! Jessica won't ever be with Jonathan! Arg how do you play this part?!
As Jewely came out of her daze, she noticed a strange glow from her piano. She shrugged; probably a trick of the light, she thought. Then, as looked at her music, it began to glow too, and it was strangely blank. Jewely hurriedly flipped through her mucis book, getting frantic. Am I going insane?! Jeeze, I'm gonna end up in the mental hospital! Who's going to believe that one minute these sheets of music were black and white, then the next minute blank—with a weird symbol etched with wings and a staff.
Right there smack-dab in the middle of her book was as strange, even ancient looking symbol. It gave off a soft blue glow. It was staff-like, opening like a crab-claw opening and a four pointed jewel combined in the bottom. I vine curled along the length of it, and very plain, feathered wings stretched on either side of it.
This sounds like something that would happen in a fantasy novel, Jewely thought, but I'm pretty sure it's real.
She watched, wide-eyed, as the symbol slowly disappearing and black notes reappearing on the paper…

Beka stared into the distance, her eyes glazed over as she explained the depths of her imagination. In her mind, she was forming her own "movie" of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. She scratched some words into her notebook, and then rubbed her rabbit's back and chest, who was trying to get her attention by running around her legs, nipping at her jeans, and rubbing his head against her.
Her creativity level was low. That wouldn't have been a problem- she'd just wait for a strange dream to raise it-if she didn't have a creative story due tomorrow.
Her gray-and-white floppy-eared rabbit was constantly trying to eat her jeans now, so she shooed him back in his cage. She sat back down and glared darkly at her note book. She picked up her pen and decided to try that "writer's blog" remedy the pro-authors always talk about.
"The fat squirrels chewed their walnuts and threw them down," she murmured. "A chipmunk dashes across my porch, to be met by a vampire and eaten," she frowned at what she wrote. Why must everything she wrote include vampires?
She signed and started to pick up her pen.
Except, that it was glowing.
She grinned, inspiration hitting her like a blind, air born bird. See, she enjoys viewing things in a slightly mystical way. She wants a fun life, not a boring one!
She picked up her pen, and the violet-eyed girl started to write…

With the wind whistling in the through the trees and the empty streets, only one person was there; a girl with long white hair blowing in the wind. It was night and the sky was dark; the only thing that was visible was the moon. With it's blue and white glow filling up the empty streets. She was walking home (across from the cemetery).
"(1)Mabataki ga kaze o yobu hohoemi ga … Anata no me ni sumu tenshi ga sasayaku. Subete ga ima hajimaru to…. Baby, kono sekai wa
kinou to wa chigau," she sang compassionately.
KABOOM!! With a loud thunder all the power went out. She looked around and when she looked up her eyes widen; there is was the moon, but it was blood red. Then she picked up her iPod that was hanging around her neck because it stopped working; it was blank. Suddenly something came up; a weird symbol that had a staff in the middle and a pair of wings on either side of it. It was glowing in a crimson color like the moon.
"Freaky," she said in a sarcastic tone. The past few weeks had been very boring. There was nothing to do and the teachers were killing her and her friends with homework.
"Finally, something happens in my old boring school life," she said, "oh right, I have to tell this to Beka, she's gonna love it!"
The power came back on and she shrugged; she looked around and kept walking on into the darkness…

D-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-g-g-g-g-g-g-g!!
The bells rang through HeiFeu High School. It was just another normal day in school and everyone was really tired (Monday) as always. The sound of footsteps fills the halls as the students try to get to their classes.
"Hey," said Eve as she moves to stand by her friend's locker, "I have to tell you something."
"What is it?" asked Beka.
Just about when she was about to answer the bell rang.
"Have to go," Beka said quickly. Anyone could swear Beka was too hyper for anyone's own good.
"This always happens!" Eve said under her breath as she rolled her eyes."See you later." Eve said in a monotone voice.
Then they all went to class.
LUNCH
"That stupid Mr. Bartlett gave us homework again!" said Jewely as she sat down at the lunch table.
"Doesn't he always give you homework quizzes everyday?" asked Eve even though she already knew the answer.
"Yeah," she said," and he calls them "POP" quiz. I mean, we already know we have them everyday and he give up so much homework everyday!"
"Teachers these days always trying to kill us with homework!" exclaimed Beka as she joined the conversation and sat down.
"Great, now that you are here, I could tell you my amazing story!" Eve said excitedly.
"Okay, I'm listening. Oh, right I have to tell you something too!" said Beka.
So Eve told her what had happened last night…
"OH MY GOD! That happened to me too!" Beka exclaimed, "I was writing a poem yesterday and the pen started glowing. Then I had this dream and there was this symbol with wings there. It was so AWESOME!"
"I know, I wonder what it meant?" Eve asked herself.
"What are you guys talking about?" Jewely asked as she looked up--she was doing homework.
"Yesterday something weird happened to us," said Beka.
"Like?" she asked.
"The power went out and this weird symbol appeared on my iPod screen, and Beka dreamed it in her sleep," Eve said in a creepy voice," oh and the moon outside was huge and it had this crimson color."
Jewely's mouth opened, but nothing came out.
"The same thing happened to me too!" she said slowly.
The girls looked at each other in disbelief. Then the bell rand signaling lunch is over. They went to their class in silence.

The girls couldn't believe it. If the same thing happened to all of them at the same time, could there be others that experienced this phenomenon? FIND OUT in the next chapter of Distorted Dimensional Doorways!

The twinkling of the stars calls to the wind
The angel in your eyes is whispering
That everything is starting now
