Chapter 3: A New World
A.N. Thanks to pearlwalrus and QueenTantoonie 4 reviewing! It really helped! Oh, and QueenTatoonie, if you read the last to chapters you will notices some slight changes! To answer you questions that are not answered by the changes, MSA has a Bible class because it is a Christian private school, but just because it is, and they have it, doesn't mean they pay more attention to it than other classes or that there really much different from public school kids. And no there feet didn't feet wet, cause they were wearing heels, and they didn't start to sink first. Thanks again for reviewing it really helped! Please continue to R&R!
Ava blinked, and sat up, "Mel?" she called looking around "Mel!" she called louder this time a muffled groan from underneath her told her that she was sitting on her. She jumped up, and there was Mel, but something was different she looked a little different.
Mel, she was no longer wearing her glasses, and instead of her MSA uniform, was wearing a rich purple colored skirt that went only a little longer than halfway down her thigh. The purple skirt had a gold edging and Amethysts were woven into the hem so it glinted and sparkled in the sunlight.
She also wore a rich purple top that was actually one with the skirt, a belt separated the top from the skirt, it was gold with a large amethyst set in the center and strange and ancient looking Ava could not make out, running all along the same hemming in the edges of the tank tops that the skirt had. But in the center of the tank top there was a design, embroidered in gold thread, the design was of a hill, a river in front of it, and a crescent moon above the hill and river at one end with a star at the other end.
Mel's hair also seemed longer, and darkened to a deep chocolate brown, with gold and purple glints in it. She wore a headband made of a thin gold band with a amethyst where it dipped down unto her forehead. She also wore a purple ribbon, the same color as her skirt and shirt, as a choker. She had on flat gold colored shoes with strings that crisscrossed till they tied right below her knee, at small neat bows.
She had a sword hanging from her belt, with a bold hilt and amethyst embedded in it, in a pure gold sheath. All this looked like it would way quite a bit exceptionally all together. Mel stirred, and her eyes fluttered open.
The first thing she noticed was that her glasses were gone, but she didn't seem to need them. She sat up to see Ava a few feet away, but Ava looked different. Instead of her MSA uniform, Ava was wearing a deep rich blue colored skirt that went only a little longer then half her thigh, with silver edging, and as she looked a little closer, she could see sapphires and Aquamarines woven into the hem which sparkled in the sunlight she wore a silver belt, which separated the rich blue top from the skirt.
The belt was made of pure silver, with a large Sapphire on the belt, and odd and ancient looking engravings carved all the way around the belt, the top was a tube top with the same edging as the skirt at the top and it had a design embroidered in silver thread, the design was of a hill, a river in front of it, and a crescent moon above the hill and river at one end with a star at the other end. She wore an aqua colored ribbon as a choker, with small glinting aquamarines in it.
Ava's hair was also longer, and bleached a lighter blond, her hair following in gentle curls down her back, and ending at the beginning of her belt. She wore a thin silver headband with an aquamarine where it dipped down to her forehead. She wore flat silver colored shoes with strings that crisscrossed till they tied right below her knee, at small neat bows.
She also noticed that Ava seemed to be staring at her in the same way that she was staring at her. She followed Ava's gaze down to her clothes, which she realized where almost just like Ava's in purple, gold and amethyst. Mel realized that all these jewels and the sword would way her down, and she probably wouldn't be able to get up, she tried, and to her surprise she found that the clothes didn't way her down at all, in fact, she felt exceptionally light. This movement seemed to shake Ava out of her trance, "hey Mel! Are you okay?" she asked
"Yeah, but what happened? And why are we in there clothes?" asked Mel fingering her own skirt.
"We?" Ava asked, then looking down went "Wow! I love my outfit!" then she noticed a silver strap across her chest, she took it off to find a bow, it was pure silver with aquamarines and sapphires embedded in it. It weighed almost nothing, and then she noticed that there had been an identical strap under the one she had just removed, she took that off to find a beautiful blue silk quiver with a lot of arrows in it, the arrows looked like they were made of pure silver, but the arrowheads where either an aqua or a sapphire, and they looked razor sharp.
"Awesome!" Ava exclaimed, examining it for a few more minutes before she slung both straps back over her shoulder again. Mel was now staring wide eyed at their surroundings. Ava followed her gaze seeing that they just now starting to look around at her surroundings. She saw that they were standing in a peaceful meadow.
The sky above was startlingly blue with tints of purple here and there, the clouds were pure white with pale blue undersides, and the sun was much larger than any sun that she had ever seen before. The peaceful meadow which they were standing in was a vibrant green with strange and brightly colored flowers dotting it's surface. The trees surrounding the meadow were a dark and shadowy green.
"Where are we?" Ava asked turning around to take the whole scene in.
"I have no idea" Mel sighed sitting back down on the grass. Ava joined her. The grass, ava noticed, was silky smooth, unlike most of the grass back in Florida.
"Ok, what happened?" Ava asked
"um, well we were going back to our lockers, to get out stuff for social studies…" Mel began
"And it was raining.." ava added
"Yeah, and we were halfway to the door when…." They looked at each other
"Sam screamed" they said in unison, then noticing what they had did again, grinned at each other.
"But why did Sam scream?" ava asked trying tot think back "oh, and why was it was so quiet after she screamed?"
"I dunno we turned around to see but…." Mel said
"no one was there, and then there was a bunch of swirling colors in the puddle that we were standing in, and we were falling, into really cold water, and I tried to scream, but water filled my lungs and"
"Everything went dark" Mel finished looking thoughtful "and were in a totally different place, we look a little different, were wearing totally different clothes, I have a sword, and you have a bow and arrow, and I don't need my glasses anymore." Ava looked at Mel with wide eyes.
"Ohmygosh Mel, what if….." Mel seemed to read her mind
"No, it's can't be"
"But maybe.." Ava started again
"It is." Mel finished
"It sounds weird, but somehow everything fits, I mean how else would all of this happened?" Ava asked.
"I know" Mel started "but it's just so……"
"Weird" they both said together. Then both burst out laughing.
"Wow" Ava said, finally catching her breath "that's freaky, we gotta stop doing that."
"Yeah I know" Mel said with one last giggle.
"Hey, there's still some things we haven't covered, why are we here? What are we supposed to do now?" Ava asked
"I don't know, I guess we should just start walking maybe we'll figure our what happened to Sami" Mel said standing up
"Hey" Ava said also standing up "do you think that Sami, and everyone else in out school got here too? To this um.. new world?"
" I have no idea" Mel said, and then adding thoughtfully "wow we finally got our wish, were in a different world, and I still don't fully believe it"
"Yeah me either" ava replied, then looking around asked "so which way?"
"I dunno "Mel said with a shrug "you choose."
"Uh, ok," Ava said unconsciously biting her lower lip in thought "oh I know!" she exclaimed her face lighting up, she extended her right arm and pointed her finger straight ahead, then she started spinning around and around. Mel watched with amusement. Ava stopped spinning after a few minutes, and opened her eyes, staggering slightly "that way" she gasped before falling down onto the grass. After a few moments Ava sat up again "Let's go!" she called to Mel, who was still staring at her with a slightly amused expression.
"Wow" is all Mel said smiling and shaking her head. Ava stood up, and they headed off into the mysterious, dark, and shadowy woods.
