Chapter
1 New World
Rachel was walking down the road feeling
kind of lonely. A/N who wouldn't be?? She wasn't totally alone because she had
a bird on her shoulder and she was holding the reigns to her horse, Shadow.
Rachel
had always felt closer to animals than people, but she still got along with
people. People, especially guys, found that Rachel was pretty. A/N this is an
understatement they find her beautiful! She is 5'10'', has long wavy black hair
with highlights of brown in it, she has bright blue eyes, a full red mouth,
straight nose, and when she looks at people, they say her eyes always dance
with mischief.
Shadow
stopped dead in the road and Rachel's bird, Spook, was well, spooked. Rachel
had been lost in her thoughts until Shadow stopped and now she looked to see
what had spooked Spook. Ahead of Rachel was a car coming straight down the road
and it was headed for her. Rachel dropped Shadow's reigns and told her to run
into the woods. Spook flew into the air as Rachel ran towards the woods.
Whoever was in the car didn't want Rachel to get away so they gunned the car
and went after her. The last things that Rachel felt was the car hitting her,
Spook landing on her shoulder, and Rachel landing on Shadow's back. Then
everything went dark.
************************************************************************
She woke up to find that she wasn't in
Maine anymore. She knew that because the woods in Maine weren't as thick as
this forest was and there was no moss in the forest at her home. She looked
around and saw that Shadow, Spook and her backpack were there. She tried to sit
up and couldn't because there was a dog lying on her stomach.
Rachel
groaned and moved the dog so that she could sit up. As soon as she did, Rachel
saw two more dogs coming out of the woods, with them were about seven A/N I
can't remember how many friends Kel has!! People riding horses, Rachel would
have been more sure of how many people were there if she was feeling 100%. They
stopped, looked at each and then looked back at Rachel
Rachel
felt so stupid, but then she recognized the girl that was in the group. Rachel
grabbed her bookbag and looked through until she turned the book that she
wanted. The girl was Keladry of Mindelan.
Kel got
off her horse, Peachblossom and walked toward Rachel. "Who are you?"
Rachel
looked up and said, "Rachel. My name is Rachel."
"Well,
Rachel how did you get here?"
"I
don't know, but if this is Tortall then I'm a long way from home."
"Where
do you live?"
"Eagle
Lake, Maine. No, don't stare at me like that. I know that you've never heard of
Maine, because it's in another world. I've read about you guys in books."
By the looks on everybody's faces they were astonished that she had read about
them in books. Kel especially looked shocked and scared. "Your secrets are
safe with me, Kel. You see in my world, there's this writer, Tamora Pierce, and
she writes books about Tortall, and I just love these books!" Rachel took
a breath and then tried to stand up, but when she did, she got dizzy and had to
sit down again.
Under
her breath, she muttered, "Remind me to stay out of the way of cars!"
Rachel put her head on her knees and closed her eyes. She was startled when she
felt a hand on her shoulder and looked up into Kel's worried hazel eyes.
"Want
some help up?"
"Yeah,
thanks Kel." When she was standing, Rachel bent over to get her bag, when
she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen and got really dizzy. She fell over and
then she felt Shadow underneath her.
When
Neal saw Rachel drop, he was worried. He saw Kel mount up, take the horse's
reigns and said, "We have to get Rachel to Duke Baird." Kel turned
Peachblossom and Rachel's horse and took off at a trot.
