The Past is not in the Past

Chapter 2: The Big Shocker

So soon we were skipping along the path singing and talking about all sorts of nonsense, when like always, our conversation went toward our most used topic.

"Selene?"

"Hum," I muttered to show I was listening.

"Wouldn't it be cool if Hogwarts really existed?" asked Ella.

"No, DUH! Of course, I would love to learn about magic. It would be absolutely wonderful. Too bad it's just pretend." I said

"Yeah," said Ella wistfully, "Too bad it's not real.."

We continued in our mournful silence, like we had just lost a loved one for about an hour, until the harsh cold wind finally brought us back to reality.

"It's getting late. We better head home soon," I started, "Hey? Wait a minute. Where exactly are we? I've never been to this part of the park before..."

"Uh oh, we're lost just freaking great." Ella mumbled.

"Oh hush now, if you used that brain of your's you would think to use your cell phone and call the park patrol to come pick us up. "I stated logically

"Oh yeah, great idea!" Ella replied with glee, "I hope they send us a cute guy..."

I just rolled my eyes. This girl has a one track mind and I think it will be permanently set on boys.

"Selene? Something's wrong with the phone. It has no connection. This is so weird. It was fine a few minutes ago."

"Really? My C.D player has gone wacky, too. Hmmm, what could be causing this?" I asked

"Well, all I know is that we are lost, in a park, with no connection, and I'm cold, hungry, and tired." replied Ella.

She seated herself on a nearby rock and decided to try and get a connection. Exhausted as well, I plopped onto a stump and try to think of a way out of this mess.

Well this is what you asked for. You WANTED an adventure and here it is said the sarcastic little voice my head

Shut up you I said errrrr... I mean thought to it.

My, my aren't we cranky it said.

Well, you would be too, if you were lost. Wait why I even fighting with myself? This is utterly pointless.

Suddenly I was being shaken by Ella.

"Hey, Selena. Selene? SELENE!!!!!!!!!!!" she yelled in my ear.

"OUCH! Why the hell did you do that for???" I screamed at her.

"Look! There's light coming from over there. I think there's a field up ahead." she said

"Great! Let's get going!" I shouted, a little a too loudly.

We were making our way through the trees with Ella ahead of me. The trees were dense and so heavy, that we had to literally lift the branches away.

"These trees are different. They don't look like the ones in Central Park.." I thought.

Suddenly, Ella screamed out.

"Ella?! Are you okay?" I said with apprehension in my voice.

"Yup, I'm fine. Look! There's a lake and oh my........." her voice trailed off and within a matter of seconds I knew why. Before us was such a magnificent castle that there aren't enough words in ANY language to describe it properly. It was gorgeous; it seemed to be made of white marble, and it had too many turrets and towers to count. It was perched on top of a small mountain on the other side of the lake that my dear friend Ella had so graciously fallen into. It had beautiful stain glassed windows and the sky above it was so clear and blue that I positive that this couldn't be New York. We had stood there in awe for at least ten minutes before we spoke.

"Ella?"

"Yeah?"

"I don't think we're in New York City anymore."

"I agree."

So as Ella removed herself from the lake, we decided to walk to this castle and see if anyone there could help us. Someone obliviously lived there since the lights were on. Hopefully, they were friendly and would give us a place to stay the night, then send us home. We began to make our way toward this castle and believe me it was no damn picnic. After the getting lost in the park for what seemed to be forever, and then walking down a path that was at least 20 miles; we were so exhausted, that Ella had just collapsed on the steps, and all I remember after knocking on the doors were the sounds of people yelling and running towards the entrance... and then I blacked out.

AN: HAHAHAHA, ANOTHER CLIFFIE!!!!!! Damn I am mean! So what do you think? Good, bad? Well anyway I am gonna continue. I like it so there!
