Jorina woke up with a jolt. Her whole body was drenched in a cold sweat. Her eyes glanced around the darkened bedroom of her apartment. The sun was starting to rise, giving a sigh she laid back down on her bed. "It was only a dream," she told herself "a really bad dream."
Beep...beep...beep...
Her alarm clock went off as if to say, 'Damn it get up!' Jorina sat up and shut off the screaming alarm clock. Jorina slid her feet out from under of the covers and sat up. After sheilding her eyes sheilding her eyes she turned on the light and stood up and placed her foot back down on a fork from eating dinner. "Damn it that hurt!"
Jorina brushed back her bangs and stood up and turned off the fan and clicked on MTV's video music wake-up. The video that was playing was My Chemical Romances, "Ghost of You"
Walking towards the door Jorina turned on the overhead light. Walking back towards the mirror, Jorina saw herself in the mirror. Her hair was black with sliver and blue high-lights. Her eyes a menceing green, like a dark forest. Her body was a slimed, muscled frame.
Slipping out from her rubber ducky pj's she put on a t-shirt that said 'John's Diner' on front. Her pants were a dark faded blue with a sand-papered spots. When Jorina sat down in her living room the clock read 6:30 AM. After about 15 minutes, Jorina picked up her keys and walked out of the front door.
Hopping into her car she backed out and on to the road. After driving for a good half hour she parked in her the parking lot of where she worked. After getting out and locking up her car she walked into the diner and grabbed her apron and pulled it on. Looking around for John she poured herself her a cup of coffee and put some money in the cash register. Jorina slowly sipped on her coffee when Joe walked in. He was about 6' and weighed about 145 pounds from what she guessed. John has dark brown shaggy hair and was strong.
A few coustomers started to wander in. Jorina said good morning to John then wandered over to her first table and took they're order. She walked behind the bar and walked back over to the people that had just ordered and gave them they're drinks. Jorina smiled at John when he handed her the ordered food. Putting the food on the tray she delivered the food with a smile.
A man in a long trench coat walked into the diner with a dark brown hat. John nodded towards the guy and Jorina walked over and took out her pad and a pen. "Hey there. I'm Jorina, I'll be your waiteress today, what can I get you to drink."
The man looked up at her and asked quietly, "Does you're last name happen to be Sliver?"
Jorina looked at him then nodded. "Yes it is."
The man nodded then grabbed Jorina. "Come along I have something to tell you." Jorina looked at him a baffled look. "Uh Sorry sir but I have work right now." The man only pulled her out the door. Jorina looked around for John. He was in the back in the kitchen working on the pipes for the water. Jorina tugged back trying to get loose from his grip.
"Come along Princess. We don't have a ton of time." The man said quietly.
With a bright flash of light they weren't in her home town anymore. She was in a dirt road. Jorina turned around trying to find the man that had brought her here. Out of the shadows he walked. "This is the Kingdom of Tortall. You're father, King Jonathan, rules here." Jorina turned to look at him. "I was sent to bring you here."
