I'm bored...
So...
So...
Bored.
The sound of a live orchestra filled her ears as the girl slowly opened her eyes. Oh, how she hated balls! It was the same year after year. Because she was too young she was forced to sit on the throne and watch while all the adults danced with one another. She sighed as she fiddled with a bow on her white dress. The annual balls that her parents hosted might have been more entertaining for her if only she had something to do! She idly pushed some of her golden blond hair back behind her ear. She watched a couple who were dancing. Their moves were graceful and fluid as if they were born to dance. As they slowly danced toward her, the man dipped the lady. Both of them looked the girl directly in the eyes and stuck their tongues out at her. The girl laughed her blue eyes sparkling with merriment as the couple slowly waltzed away. She could always count on her parents to cheer her up.
After ten minutes, the girl found herself bored again. She let out a huge sigh. "Oh I do wish there was something to do!" she muttered quietly. It was then that she heard the creaking of a door. It was so loud that it blocked out the orchestra's music. The girl glanced up at the dance floor to see if anyone else had heard it. She was surprised to find that no one had taken notice to the interruption. Maybe I was imagining things, the girl thought as she let her gaze drop back down to her dress. She jumped slightly when she heard the creaking again. Realizing that the sound was coming from behind her, the girl craned her neck around her chair to see where it was coming from.
A door that she had never noticed before stood there. Light spilled out from the crack inthe doorI wonder where it leads... she thought as she quickly looked around to see if her parents were paying attention. When she was sure that she could sneak away undetected, the girl crept away from her chair and toward the door. As she stared at the door in front of her, she found that she was nervous. Glancing down at her right hand, she found that the knuckles were almost white from grasping her necklace so hardThe girl released it and took several deep breaths to calm herself down. Once she was calm, she slowly pushed against the door.
As soon as she entered the room the orchestra music stopped. The girl found herself in a small circular chamber. It was lit by eerie blue torches. In the center of the room was what appeared to be a giant well-like structure. Hovering above it was a giant ball of light that slowly rotated on itself. It appeared more fluid than solid and there was the occasional smaller ball of light that would break off of it before slowly disintegrating.
From the moment she first saw the ball of light, the girl found herself drawn to it. In a trance-like state she slowly approached the light."So pretty" she mumbled as she reached out and touched it.
Pain shot through her entire body causing her to scream. To her horror she found she couldn't take her hand off the ball of light. It felt as if the light was trying to hold her there.The girl was only dimly aware of the panicking voices behind her. She was in too much pain to remain conscious for much longer. As her surroundings started to fade, she heard a voice whisper in her mind. "Don't be afraid." Then darkness filled her world.
Rye awoke with a start. She was covered in sweat and was short of breath. I wonder what that was about? She thought to herself as she watched the sun rise from her window.
Lights aura: Dun Dun Dun!
Random Fans: That was stupendous! Marvelous! Fantastic!
Lights aura: Aww, you're sweet! Have some candy (gives random fans candy)
Audience: WHAT! LIGHTS AURA NEVER GIVES US CANDY! (grabs torches and pitchforks)
Random Fans: Ah! It's fire! (runs away)
Lights aura: Aww, you're jealous. You really do care.
Audience: No we don't! What ever gave you that idea?
Rye: Well you just gave up your chance for escape.
Audience: What? We did! NOOOOOO! (faints)
