The Beginning Of The Troubles

Meika trembled as the voice echoed within the farthest chambers of her mind, occuli widening with a mixture of shock and fear. The voice grew stronger, and the girl found herself stepping from her sheltered spot, walking towards the portal. As she took her first hesitant step into the traffic choked road, something took a hold of her, Meika found herself unable to stop from striding even further into the street. At the same moment, a moped began to speed down the cleared road, taking the chance to get ahead of the next flow of traffic soon to appear. The driver saw Meika a moment too late, he would be unable to halt his motorcycle in time; the momentum at which he traveled was too great.

The man instead began to scream at the girl, attempting to tell her to get out of the road, but Meika either did not hear him, or she could not respond, which was the case. A second before the impact took place, Meika stepped into the portal, vanishing from view. The moped slowed to a stop several feet down the road, the teenager's occuli widened with stunned shock, as he scanned the street, as if hoping to see a lifeless body strewn upon the pavement, anything to prove what he had just seen, was wrong.

Meanwhile, the girl had somehow appeared in a dimension between worlds, her limp frame suspended in the thickened air, slowing her plummet to an almost crawling pace. Her thoughts were muddled as she flexed her extremities, expecting to find herself missing an arm or leg. Once satisfied with the fact that she was all intact, if not a little stunned, she glanced around at the shale hued surroundings. There seemed to be no real solid form, it reminded her somewhat of the lava lamp, which she had in her room. At least she was rid of that creepy voice, she thought dryly. She spoke too soon, the moan once more intruded her thoughts, beckoning her to come.

Meika scoured frantically her surroundings, hoping to catch a glimpse of her mysterious caller, but saw nothing, to her great disappointment. Her plummet sped up as well, Meika found a scream arising in her closed throat, as she seemingly plummeted to her fate, whatever that might be. The last conscious thought to come to her mind was that she never said farewell to her mother, before she blanked out in a sudden flash of blindingly white light.

Ryou Bakura had been taking an evening stroll, to attempt to clear his troubled mind, when he heard it. A solid thud, as if something, or someone, had just fallen from a great height. As he rushed around the corner of the sidewalk, his opticals widened in shock as he saw a unconscious Meika sprawled out on the pavement.

I didn't get a single review on this site, but a few of my friends on Neopets reviewed and said I should continue, so voila, here's the next chapter! Please review!
