The Trip Back
She woke up in a room in a 4-post bed with a canopy over it. She didn't notice that she changed into a dress from a closet, or that she walked down a flight of stone stairs. Then, all of a sudden she fell, thumbing head-toe down the staircase, twisting all the way to the bottom.
"Chloe! Chloe! Can you hear me?" a familiar voice was saying. "Wake up!"
"Wha- Where am I?" she thought as she sat up. She was in the change room. "What? Where are Marc and Kel and Kally what happened???"
"Careful! Careful! I don't know what happened to you, you never answered my calling, and I don't think it takes half and hour to change from a warm-up outfit to a costume!!"
"Yea . . . .Me neither," Chloe answered confused.
"Who are Marc, Kel and Kally??" Laura asked worried. "I don't think they're any of your friends."
Chloe paled, what was she supposed to say to that? "No . . . They're people in a book I'm reading. I think I just, um, hit my head and sub-consciously dreamed about them." Chloe concluded, laughing a little.
That slightly reassured Laura. "Are you sure we don't need to call a doctor?" Chloe nodded her head. "Okay, well class is almost over, so change up! But if you feel tired, just tell me, okay? I don't want you to faint again or something. We'll have one more run through before you gotta catch the bus."
Chloe nodded and watched Laura walk out the door. Laura didn't even say anything about my clothes, Chloe thought, looking down at her ball gown looking thing. She changed, and the rest of her class went through with no slip-ups.
On the bus ride home, Chloe wondered whether or not she had dreamed everything, had she really just fainted and thought everything had happened? But Marc wasn't in any of the stories, another part of her mind argued. Maybe he had a small role in one of them, I just remembered that. Yea, that's it. I never left, just hit my head and ended up dreaming everything. She stopped arguing with herself and concentrated outside the window. Everything was just the same as it was before, "Is something wrong dearie?" asked an elderly voice. "You seem troubled," She glanced at the woman and smiled, "No, I'm fine," Again she looked out the window. "Are you sure?" she asked again. "Yes," Chloe answered more strongly, "I am fine!" With that, Chloe got up and pulled the string to stop the bus. She was planning on walking the rest of the way home. Forgetting how late it was, and how she was very afraid of the dark.
Chloe walked off the bus and watched it turn the corner. She sighed and looked around, realizing that she was very alone and very near to the bad side of town. She shivered and began walking in the direction the bus had gone. It will take a while to walk home, she thought, why do I feel like someone is watching me? She glanced around her shoulder. Someone (thing?) jumped behind a car parked on the curb. She turned and began walking faster. Now she knew someone was following her, she heard very distinct footsteps walking behind her. She began to run, so did the footsteps, she turned a corner and ran towards the park, looking for a place to hide from whoever was following her. What am I gonna do? She thought. I know no self-defense techniques except the ones they sorta taught me as a page. I didn't even know those very well. Chloe was now very panicked, and not finding a place to hide didn't help much. She frantically looked around, hearing the footsteps closer and closer, when she saw an huge old tree, that maybe she could hide behind. She ran to it, glancing behind her as she slowly slid down the side of the tree, sitting as close to the ground as she could. Suddenly, she felt a tingly feeling around her, as she looked around. She was surrounded by a familiar glow, and she woke up to a familiar face that she was very happy to see.
**Sorry bout the ending, my mom kicked me off the computer before I could finish it. The rest will be up very soon!**
