Chapter 1: The Impossible
Disclaimer: don't own, never will, don't sue me.
Will woke up with a smile on the day of October 12th. This was a rare occasion, as usually she was too tired to smile in the mornings. But today was a special day: Alec was turning three months old today!
Will stretched and yawned as she got out of bed. She walked into the kitchen and did her morning routine: prepared a bottle of milk for Alec and put it in the microwave as she went to wake him up. Usually by the time she came back, the milk was a comfortable, warm temperature that wouldn't burn the baby's throat.
She smiled as her dad, Thomas Vandom, came into the room. His red hair tousled and his eyes half open, signaling he just woke up. The grandfather yawned as he walked over towards Will and the baby.
"Happy three month old birthday, Alec!" he said, while taking the green eyed-baby from his mother. "Will, honey, we're low on groceries. Do you mind going to the grocery store while I take care of Alec this morning?"
"No problem, Dad. Just let me get ready then I will go." Will gave her dad another smile then went upstairs and brushed her hair and teeth. She changed out of her pajamas and into a pair of jeans and a brown sweater. She went into the kitchen and grabbed an apple to eat on the way as well as some money from her father.
"Okay I'm leaving now! I'll be back soon! Love you!" Will shouted as she walked out the door.
"Love you too! Have fun!" Mr. Vandom said before she closed the door. Will chuckled to herself as she walked down the path to the sidewalk. Her dad lived in a heavily populated part of Fadden Hills so the house they lived in was very small, though very comfortable.
The supermarket wasn't far from her house, only about a 5 minutes walk away. She went to the store, opened the doors, and got a dizzy feeling inside her head.
"Whoa," Will tried to steady herself but fell to the ground anyway.
"Excuse me miss, are you okay?" A concerned employee asked. He held out his hand to help her up.
"Yeah, I'm fine thanks. Just got a bit dizzy. Don't worry, it happens all the time." Will smiled and accepted his outstretched hand. She told the employee not to worry, but she couldn't help but worry herself.
She hadn't gotten one of those dizzy spells since last year, whenever she was around a portal. It was like a sixth sense for her, to feel if there is a portal around or anything from Meridian.
As she walked around the grocery store, getting all the items on the list her dad made, she nervously looked around, wondering if something from Meridian had popped up in Fadden Hills.
When she finished getting all the food, she went to the cashier, and paid for it. 'Maybe it has something to do with the door?' she thought as she neared the said object. 'I mean, I did get the dizzy feeling while walking through them.'
She looked the door up and down, trying to see if there was anything unnatural about it. But it looked just like a regular, glass door. As she walked through it Will didn't get another dizzy spell.
'Whew, just a false alarm then.' She then continued her walk home, but about halfway there, she got another dizzy spell.
"Ow!" she exclaimed as she dropped the groceries and clutched her head. She could faintly see her house from here, and what she saw made her feel even more sick. There was a blue glow coming from her house, to be exact, from her bedroom window.
"Oh no!" she moaned as she ran towards her house. Once she got there she threw the door open and ran to the kitchen, where she last saw her father and Alec.
"Oh, no no no no no!" She cried as she saw what a mess the kitchen was. Chairs were overturned, the table smashed to pieces, and blood, blood everywhere. But there was no sign a body, just a trail of blood.
Will sniffed as she followed the blood, afraid of what was on the other end. She followed the trail up to her room, and there she found, slumped against the door, was her father's body.
"Daddy!" Will screamed as she ran to him, tears slipping down her face. The said man did not move. There were deep gashes all across his face, arms, and legs and even one on his stomach.
Will sobbed as she kneeled down next to him, grabbing his wrist and franticly searching for a pulse. Will sobbed even harder when she could not find one, and grabbed him and hugged her father's body closely to her chest.
She didn't know how long she sat there like that, crying into her father's hair. But she soon remembered the blue glow coming from her bedroom window. Will sniffed as she gently laid her father down and opened the door. Once she did so, she gasped. For inside was a blue portal crackling in all its glory.
The red head wiped away her tears as she cautiously stepped forward. She looked around to make sure there wasn't anyone there and then took another small step.
'Alec's not in the house. Maybe whoever killed my father took him to the portal.' She shuddered at the thought. 'Well, here goes nothing.' Will braced herself as she took the last step and fell through the portal.
The girl gave a small, surprised scream as she fell towards the ground. She looked around in shock, not used to the surroundings around her. She was sitting in lush, green grass with flowers and plants all around her.
'This is not the Meridian I know-er-used to know.' Will thought as she stood up. She began walking around, looking at all the strange yet beautiful flowers. She spotted a patch of flower buds and walked foward to examine them.
Suddenly a baby's cry echoed around the enclosed garden. Will gasped as she franticly turned around in circles, searching for the source of the cry.
"Alec!" she shouted, as she ran around the garden. A new voice joined the baby's, but instead of crying, this voice was laughing; an evil, mocking laugh. A laugh that Will knew all too well.
"Phobos!" the young mother screamed, "what have you done with Alec?" The evil man laughed some more.
"Oh, I haven't done anything to the baby, little guardian. Yet."
Will spun around as the voice echoed around her. "Give him back! Or I swear I will-"
"Will what? Be careful, little guardian, for I do not take threats lightly." As the prince said this, the flower buds that Will was examining opened and omitted a blue gas. The baby's screams got louder.
"Alec! I'm coming for you!" Will shouted to the infant. She took a step forward, then faltered, feeling dizzy. "Don't worry! I'm com… com… I'm coming for you!" Will whispered before she fell to the ground.
AN: okay so here's the second chapter to my story… the first chapter was Wills POV but the rest of the story is going to be everybody's POV… unless I decide to do an interlude type thing… which I might… I don't know. At the moment, I have nothing going on in my life so updates should come every day… unless I get too lazy which might happen… Please review and tell me how I'm doing!
