Chapter 3: The letter
A/N: hey guys, I am back, and I watched the movie! 3 words; it. was. awesome. That is all i'm gonna say about it.
I rewrote the first 2 chapters and corrected (most)/all of the spelling errors, and thanks FurorNocturna (guest) for pointing out most of them.
But without further ado, THIRD CHAPTER!
Joy laid face-down in her own bed, summarizing what exactly happened the last 24 hours.
Okay, I got a weird dream and the next morning I there's a glowing snow globe in my bed. Yesterday I walked against a pole and passed out after that, and when I'm in the hospital some random black-wearing guy begins to stalk me. What is going on?
She sat up and grabbed the snow-globe under her bed, it still glowed, and brightly lit the whole room with it.
"What are you?" She slid her hand across the orb.
As of a answer to her question, the orb glowed brighter and consumed Joy's entire view. Suddenly, Joy lost consciousness and the orb rolled out of her hands on the floor, not glowing anymore.
Joy woke up with her whole body in pain, she tried to stand up, but almost fell because she stepped on a glass surface.
Upon closer inspection, she appeared to be standing on a whole lot of those snow-globes, but in contrast to Joy's. all of them weren't glowing and appeared lifeless.
"What is going on? Where the heck am I?"
She heard a faint sound, and tried to listen to it. Someone was singing! Wait, what?
After listening some more, she could understand some words from the faint voice.
"...who's your friend who likes to play? Bing bong, Bing bong..."
And suddenly it echoed away, no sound, no voice, nothing.
Until a snow-globe right in front of her disappeared.
Not in a way like, "poof", gone, but the snow-globe slowly turned into dust and got carried away by a unseen wind.
Joy grew anxious, this place started to turn extremely creepy, even though Joy was kind of a optimistic and positive girl, she had the feeling that she should absolutely not be here.
"Why am I here?"
"That's a question you must ask yourself, why are you here?."
Joy froze. She turned around to face a man in a black coat and suit, hood over his face.
"Who are you?" Joy started panicing now, she started to walk away from this strange man. "What do you want from me?"
The man sighed, he reached into his suit and pulled a white enveloppe with a black seal on it.
"I don't want anything from you, Joy, I just want you to read this letter, and everything will become clear, in due time." he turned around.
Joy took the letter and stared at the seal, then looked up to see that his mysterious messenger was walking away from Joy. "Hey! Wait! You didn't told me your name yet!"
The stranger didn't stop. Instead, he swirled his coat around and disappeared.
"..."
Then suddenly, everything turned black.
Joy just woke up and found the letter on her chest, breathing heavily. She walked over to her desk and grabbed scissors to open the letter. She opened it, and turned on her bedside lamp to read the words:
Dear Joy,
If you're reading this, that means I have completed my task to find you and give this letter to you.
14 Years ago, you were separated from your host, and all five of you stranded in the place you call your "home" now to exist there from that day on,
Your memory was wiped out, and we had no way to contact you except by your subconscious dreams,
Keep that memory orb you summoned in your possession, it might be useful later on.
We want to tell you more about it, but we are afraid that this letter will fall into the wrong hands,
We can tell you one thing, keep an eye out on the international network of computers (nickname: "internet") and Archie Bellamy for "interesting stuff" they need to show you, because that's where you find your way back.
Until then, bye.
Joy's head buzzed with all sorts of questions right now, "What do they mean, 14 Years ago?", "What is so important to not include in a letter he gave to me personally?" and "What are those "interesting stuff" I have to look out for?"
After a few minutes of thinking, and giving looks at the letter to see if it didn't disappear or something, she grabbed the "memory orb" as they in the letter called it and looked at it. The "orb" was shimmering faintly yellow, instead of the powerful yellow glow it gave a few minutes ago.
Looks like it has to charge itself up or something...
She decided to put the orb in her desk for later inspection, next to the letter, and got to bed.
A/N: I'm SORRY for the cliffhanger, but most of you wanted to see the third chapter immediately and worked late at night to make to happen (trust me, i get distracted VERY easily).
I (hope) Promise i'll get the fourth chapter sooner on, until then,
Edit: July 24, edited some stuff to correspond to the plot line I worked out, you might wanna re-read earlier chapters too!
REVIEW, F&F!
