Chapter 1
Crash Landing In…. The Mansion
Waking up for the first real time, I find myself looking down into a room, with the floor at least 15 times my height away from me. I try to find a way to get down. I look around, nothing to climb on down. I look up and see the ropes connecting the basket to the balloon all tangled up. It's also above the burners. I also see the activator for the burners. I jump up and pull it, and it releases it burns the ropes. "Woah!", I shout, falling with the basket.
"Oww.", I groan. I scratch my head and stand up to look around to see the broken-down walls of the mysterious house. "Old.", I say. I see a small hole that I can crawl through in the wall. I go through, and see a series of wooden planks leading to an exit. I look down, and again, very high in the ceiling, and falling would be a death trap. I balance myself on the beams, and run through. Turning left, I carefully tread through the wooden planks. I look over, and see an exit. As I run over, the plank under me cracks. I know what's about to happen, so I jump. The plank breaks.
"AGHHH!", I scream. I catch on the other side with both my arms. I breathe in, and hoist myself up from the edge. I take a break for just a second, then I remember the longer I stay here, the larger my chances are of falling to the floor with a splat of yellow and red, if you know what I mean.
Going left again because the plank straight ahead is going to break if I stand on it, I go up the elevated wooden beam, and suddenly, a can drops from above and comes rolling down to me!
I quickly run down the plank, and dive to the right, nearly missing the can that was about to crush me.
"Phew! That was close.", I say to myself. I continue to go up the plank, and climb up the broken wall, not knowing where else to go. I see more cans, and more debris. I see a hole barricaded with planks, which I quickly take out, at go through.
When I come out, I see a sight that I haven't seen for a long time.
"Another girl! Like me!", I think to myself. I reach out, only for the girl to run away quickly on the pipes. "No!, Please! Come back!", I plead. She doesn't even turn around. One of the only other people like me runs away, out of my grasp. "Dang it!", I scream in my head. I'm on the verge of tears. But I think to myself, "tears don't help." I take a deep breath, and I continue in my journey through the strange mansion. I also tell myself, "Who knows? Maybe I'll meet her again, and she just told her group to come and help me!" I scratch that idea out of my mind, but I keep the optimism, and the fact that I didn't see her die, yet.
Sorry it's short, I'm a 13 year old, I have studies and stuff, and my sleep schedule is irrational, don't judge me :P Also, I might be planning to compile of the chapters into one document and story in a different version, IF I finish it. Please give me constructive criticism, it helps :D keep it PG-13 tho lol.(I don't really care I just don't want my story banned)
