CHAPTER 1: Not In Kansas Anymore!

It was a cold winters morning and Tara was lying in her small bed asleep. She was wearing a long nightdress that looked old and quite dirty. She was whimpering in her sleep as if she was having a bad dream or something, her hair was all over her sweating face and she was shifting from side to side.

"NO DAD PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME!!!!" she shouted as she sprung up out of bed her eyes wide open. 'What the.I've not had that dream since I was a little girl' she thought as tears started to form in her eyes.

She was about to start crying when she heard someone open the door. She forced her tears from falling onto her cheeks and pulled the sheet over her head waiting for the person to enter the room.

"Ok children, rise and shine, come on wake up!" said a woman in a long black dress and pearls around her neck. "I said wake up.NOW YOU LITTLE BRATS!" she shouted when none of the children woke up. "What do you think this is? A hotel where you can stay in bed for as long as you want? Well if you do then you are very wrong now WAKE UP! I will not have this orphanage filled with lazy little girls! Now get to work!"

The girls started getting out of bed and one by one they all started getting dressed and straitening there beds. "That's much better now hurry up and start doing your chores!" The woman walked out of the room and slammed the small wooden door behind her shut.

"Grrrrrr.that stupid old witch!" a girl said while throwing a torn and dirty old t-shirt on.

"I know she thinks she's so high and mighty just because she's married to that rich old man from the city!" another girl said

Tara was sat up in her bed thinking about the dream she had just woken up from. 'I don't understand why am I having the same dream I had all those years ago? I just don't get it!'

"HEY EARTH TO TARA!!!!" a girls voice shrieked through Tara's thoughts. "Come on girl you have to get you're bed done and get dressed before miss 'I hate kids' comes back up!"

Tara snapped out of her phase and did what the girl had told her to do. She grabbed hold of the thin piece of cloth that she used for a Quilt and threw it onto the floor. She then took hold of the small pillow and straightened it. Then she picked up the sheet and spread it on to the small bed evenly.

Once her bed was done she grabbed her jeans and tank top and threw them on. She took a small brush out of her bag and brushed her hair slowly and then put it into a pony at the back of her head.

All the girls walked out of the room and walked down the creaking stairs ready for a day of hard work.

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- *-*-*-*-

It was about 5:30 pm and all the girls were still working. Tara was in the kitchen washing the huge pile of pots.

"Grrrrr.this is so not fair!" Tara slammed the plate that was in her hand down on the table next to her, almost breaking it, "why should we do all the work it's just not fair these aren't even our plates!!!! I'm so sick of it!!! For seven years I've been taking orders from that old hag and well I'm not having it anymore!!!!!

"WELL, WELL, WELL! If it isn't little miss independent! Well young lady if you're so unhappy with the way your treated hear why not leave huh? Let's just see how you do out there in the cold world!" an older woman's voice said.

Tara looked like she was about to turn around and hit the woman in the face but she held back her anger, the woman spoke again "well are you going to show us how independent you are or not? Because to be honest I don't really care if you leave hear or not, I mean you are old enough!"

Tara looked at her and shot a death glare right at her "well maybe I will!" she said in an angry tone, but there was also a hint of fright in her tone too.

"Go ahead, that would only mean one less brat for me to worry about!" the woman said sounding like she really didn't care less "wait no" she said suddenly "don't just walk out of hear.let me THROW YOU OUT!"

The woman grabbed hold of Tara's hand and dragged her to the door of the old mansion "Now lets see how you do without me! 7 years I've had to put up with your argumentative way's, but it all ends hear!" she threw Tara out into the cold street where she sat for a while until the huge door was shut in her face.

'Oh great! Way to go Tara!' she thought to her self as she stood there in the cold rain, 'now what am I gonna do?' she started walking down the street not knowing where she was going, she stopped in her tracks and looked up at the cloudy sky, "I wish you were hear dad, you would know what to do in these situations." She started walking again but where.she just didn't know maybe she could walk all night.but she would soon get tired, so she decided to go and look for some shelter and maybe find some work the next day.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- *-*-*-

It had been 3 hours since Tara was thrown out of the orphanage and she'd been looking for some shelter since.

"Oh I'm never gonna find any shelter!" She complained wishing and hoping that someone would hear her and invite her into their house.but no, nobody heard or maybe they just didn't want to let a stranger into their house, so Tara just kept walking "oh there's got to be some shelter around hear!" suddenly she heard something coming from a ally behind her, 'what the.what was that?' she thought looking into the ally trying to see through the darkness, 'I'm sure I just heard something coming from that ally'

Suddenly she heard a scream coming from the same place. It was a woman's scream, at first Tara felt a little scared but when she heard it again she couldn't help but go and find out who it was and some how try and help.

As the screams got closer Tara ran faster and faster until she found herself in front of a cloaked person holding a woman in their large arms, "w.what the." when the woman saw Tara she cried for help but was thrown aside when the cloaked man saw her.

"It's you!!! You're her!!! Ha, Miss Roma is going to be very pleased with me!" the person had a males voice but it sounded too young to be a mans voice.

"Who.who are you?" Tara asked sounding frightened, but determined to get an answer at the same time. He didn't answer though he just mumbled something to him self and then grabbed Tara's hand "HEY GET OFF.WHAT ARE YOU DOING??? GET OFF!" He didn't listen he just dragged her to what looked like a warehouse. By now Tara had stopped screaming and was just trying to wriggle out of his grasp.

When he opened the door it just looked like any old rundown warehouse until she heard the cloaked boy whisper what sounded like a chant to him self. That chant must have been some kind of spell because as he was saying it, what looked like a vortex started to appear in front of them. As the chant got louder the vortex got bigger.

"What is that???" Tara shouted over the chanting. There was no answer the boy just kept chanting until the vortex was big enough for them to jump through.

"Well princess.Welcome home!" the boy said jumping into the vortex pulling Tara with him.

" Princess!" Tara tried to resist but he was too strong "what do you mean welcome home!" but it was too late they had already gone into the vortex.

The vortex was like being in a washing machine, Tara felt like her stomach was about to burst not to mention the headache she had. She was still struggling to get free of the mysterious boy's grip but as they fell deeper into the vortex Tara started to feel stronger, but it felt natural, like being reunited with an old friend, she some how managed to get free of his grip and drifted away from the boy.

"NOOOOOOO!!!!" the boy shouted, "Get back hear!!!! Noooo" as Tara got further away his voice got quieter she felt like she was getting stronger and stronger by the minute! Tara closed her eyes and waited for the experience to stop.

Finally she hit something hard, it felt soft and warm. As she opened her eyes she saw that she was sat on sweet smelling grass, she looked up to see a beautiful blue sky and yellow fluffy clouds.

Where was she? This place was totally different to the surroundings she had just come from, she threw her back on to the grass and lay there looking at the clouds when she saw a bird in the sky, it wasn't like anything she had seen before, it had a silver beak, black fathers and two beautiful silver wings, it looked a little like her bit beast swantina but it was black instead of blue, and when she looked over at a tree it was a beautiful shade of purple and red and the water was a sparkling acid green colour.

'Ok.I don't think I'm in Kansas anymore!' she said slowly with a little sarcasm in her tone, 'but then.where am I?'
