Bonjovie y'all!
Chava: Thanks so much for the feed back. It's really useful. And I plan on getting into the fairy tale aspect (it IS in Fairy Tales, lol) I already have some ideas. I am hoping to update as soon as I can because once the inspiration hits I gotta keep going, because writer's block might be right around the corner.

After my shower I decided to go for a walk. After all, I can't stay holed up in here forever, no matter how much it hurts.
Walking to the small stream that ran behind my backyard, I wondered if I had set myself up for heartbreak. I had heard rumors about Josh, like that he was a player, that he was self-centered, and that he had no regard for anyone else's feelings, but when I met him, he seemed so sweet. I should have known it was just an act.
As I got over the hill my reflection became visible in the water. Lying as close to the water as I could I closed my eyes and tried to think of happier things. Sitting up again disheartened I wondered if I ever would. Putting my hand in my jean pocket I felt something. Pulling it out I saw that it was the amulet I had clutched in my hand after my nap. I didn't remember putting it there.
Getting up to go back to the house I felt like all the air had been knocked out of me. I staggered forward, only to be pushed back be an invisible wall. Panicking I knew only that my house was in the direction and in my house there was a phone. Pushing myself through the invisible wall I came out into a field covered in daisies.
Oh no.
I pinched myself. It hurt. This was real. Looking around I didn't see any trees or people. I saw a village in the distance, but other than that there was nothing else around me. Calming down a little bit I closed my eyes.
I must have fallen asleep, for when I opened them there was a crowd of people gathered around me. I heard bits and pieces of conversation:
"The prophesy..."
"I expected someone older..."
"Can she be trusted?"
"Who knows who she is..."
At last a brave youth came out and cleared his throat. Everyone quieted realizing someone was going to talk to me.
" Who are you and why have you come here?" he asked in a cold voice.
" I haven't done anything, why is everyone gathered around me?" I asked in return.
I gave me a cold glare. I glared back.
"Why are you here?" he asked again.
" I don't know." I replied truthfully.
"Take her to King Andrew!" a man in the back of the crowd called out.
"Quite right." the youth replied.
As I was being led away I thought I glimpsed a shadow under an oak tree, but when I looked again there was nothing there. So my life in the kingdom began.
