Chap.1

I guess you could say I was an ordinary girl. I loved to hang out with my friends, go to the mall, listen to music. I LOVED to sing and act and I LOVED TAMORA PIERCE. You could say there was something missing in my life, (besides a boyfriend:))---a sense of adventure. Well one day I was going to y friend's house to sleep over when I decided to cut through the woods since it was shorter. I had brought with me all my Tamora Pierce books, a pair of jeans, a shirt, my cd player and cd's, batteries, platforms, and makeup, and my book of broadway songs. I kept thinking if I had forgotten anything, when I noticed that I should have been there by now. I was retracing my tracks when I didn't notice the rock and I tripped and hit my head. Then everything went black.

"Who do you think she is?"

"What is she wearing?"

I opened my eyes.

"She's awake," somebody said.

"Where am I?"

"You're in the royal forest," answered a big boy with red hair, "in Tortall." I digested that for a second.

"I-I--I'm where?!?!?" I practically screamed. "Omigod, omigod, this can't be happening! Wake up Cristina!" The others looked at me strangely.

"Are you alright my lady?" (By the look of him) asked Cleon.

"I need to speak with King Jon right away! And don't call me 'my lady' please, my name is Cristina, Cris for short."

"Is there a problem?" asked Cleon.

"Well.....I'm from another world."
