Chapter 4

Valerie's point of view

I groaned and brought my hand up to the side of my head where I was earl hit with a can. I winced feeling it throbbing. I opened my eyes and slowly sat up still holding my head. I looked around and saw that everyone else was still unconscious. I slowly got up and started to hear groans from everyone else. Tul got up and glanced around.

"Where t'hell are we?!" Tul said loudly. I looked up at her and started to remember them in the basement and the book glowing.

"I really don't know." I said and gently helped Kathleen to her feet. Kathleen was looking around trying to put two and two together.

"How long have we been knocked out?" Andrea asked glancing around quite curious.

"About two hours." Kathleen simply said. Jen looked at her raising an eyebrow. "How do you know?" She asked wondering.

Kathleen pointed to my temple. "She has a pretty big bruise....That would take about an hour or two to get that size." She explained. Chantal came over to me and winced looking at it. I looked at her. "Is it that bad?" I asked and she nodded.

"It goes up to your eye." She said. I took some of my hair and tried my best to cover my bruise with hair, not doing a very good job at it either. I sighed and gave up trying to hide it.

Everyone was looking around trying to figure out what happened and where they were. It was quite weird, one second we were in my basement talking about school...next, we're in a field that looks like nothing by my place.

I looked at Chantal noticing she stopped talking and was looking straight ahead. The wind was gently blowing across her face and brushing her hair. Her eyes narrowed slightly as she turned to us with a serious look on her face.

"Everyone, stop talking and listened..." She said in a low voice. Everyone had stopped and that's when we heard the clashing sound of thin metals coming closer and closer.

I walked over to Chantal who was now standing beside Tul. Kathleen followed looking ahead not moving while Andrea and Fenja walked over to us. Both of them seemed quite scared, their face was pale. I heard the sound coming closer and closer.

I saw a group of men coming towards us. They carried spears and sword, my eyes narrowed slightly as I looked at them coming. It wasn't the swords that scared me; it was the anger they carried in their face.

The group of men whom I thought to be soldiers stopped in front of us and started to surround us. I looked over at Fenja and Andrea and saw that Fenja looked deathly pale. Andrea put a hand on her arm to reassure that she would be ok; I looked around at the others.

I looked at Chantal and Tul. Tul was glaring at them with an expression on her face that said 'Hurt anyone and I'll kill you'. That was a usual face she made to people she didn't know but for some reason I knew she meant it. Chantal was cracking her knuckles. I guess she's thinking that we're going to fight our way out.

Jen was looking around at them while looking slightly scared, but who wouldn't be. The soldiers had their weapons pointed at us.

A man walked up more then the others. I guessed he must have been the leader of them. He had short black hair and he wore more gold then the others but the one thing that brought him out was the beautifully carved red phoenix that he wore on his breastplate.

"Your all under arrest!" He told us as some guards started to walk forward with rope. Tul got into a fighting stance along with Chantal. Kathleen was standing in front of Fenja while Andrea tried to calm the frightened girl who was shaking uncontrollably.

"What are we arrested for? We have done nothing wrong." I said trying to be as calm as possible. 'If we tried to fight our way out we would all be killed' I thought looking at all the weapons that the men carried.

"Your on royal ground, which is forbidden to anyone who does not live in the palace." The leader declared. I thought for a moment before responding. "We will go with you." I said calmly. Everyone looked at me in complete surprise.

"What are ya talkin' about?! We can fight 'em off!" Tul said looking at me. I shook my head disagreeing. "If we fight we won't live to see tomorrow. Look, we have no idea where we are. If we go with them quietly we might be able to talk to them and tell them what happened and how we got here." I told her and everyone else quietly.

"How do you know they'll believe us?" Kathleen asked. She was pale and looked scared but for some reason I felt that she wasn't.

"We don't even know how we got here!" Chantal said. Kathleen thought for a moment and nodded. Andrea went into thoughts before responding.

"Remember the book? I think we got sucked into it! This looks like ancient China and that was in the department I found the book." Andrea said. Everyone was quite surprised but nodded at Andrea knowing she was smart and knew what she was talking about.

"Its our only chance, so I guess we should go with them quietly." Jen said. I looked at them as they nodded agreeing. I looked at the guard and nodded. It seemed that he was listening to our conversation and was quite surprised.

"Your all from another world?" He asked raising an eyebrow. I nodded, just then I noticed he was looking at our cloths with a weird expression on his face. 'for someone who just met another person from a different world he doesn't seem too much in disbelief or too surprised.' I thought.

"We will see if you are or not. But we must bound you to make sure you don't run away." He said as he walked over to us with other soldiers. I noticed that Fenja had slightly calmed down now that most of the soldiers put their weapons down.

Kathleen: Awsome! Now you need to continue it!
