Chapter Two: Traveling To Another Dimension
{Aimi's P.O.V.}
Hey random readers of FanFiction! Welcome to chapter two of our story! My name is Aimi Sasaki. I am sixteen years old. I have black hair that goes down to my hips and ice blue eyes. I'm pale, relatively tall, and skinny. And, as Mizuki said last chapter, I live in the Kanto reign of Japan, even though my original birthplace was Windsor Ontario. Did I miss anything? No? Okay then, on with the story!
It was Mizuki's fourteenth birthday, and Emiko, Haru and I had gathered at her house for a day of pampering! Everything would've been great! Except for the fact that it rained. All day.
Also, Mizuki's grandfather, John Glen, had come down for a visit. I don't necessarily hate the guy, but he is a little weird... Not as in mental hospital weird but... Oh! You know what I mean!
He asked us to test out his latest invention for him. A device that let you transport yourself anywhere in the world! Of course we agreed. Hey, even if I don't really like him, his invention was cool.
So we stepped up on the platform that he had hooked up to the machine, and he pushed a button, just as the first bolt of lightning came down. John's eyes widened, leaving a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. My gaze traveled to Alex, who looked very confused. Apparently she had seen his eyes widen as well.
John looked over to us, fear in his eyes.
"Grandpa! Alex called out as John pushed buttons on the machine's control panel rapidly. "What's going on? Why do you look so... afraid?"
John looked ready to cry as he shook his head before shouting back a reply over the whirring sounds coming from the machine. "I'm... I'm so sorry!" He choked out. "There's nothing I can do now! It's too late!"
I felt Ashley grab my arm, her newly manicured nails digging into my skin. I didn't even flinch. My eyes did not stray from the scene in front of me.
I heard Aubrey and Ashley cry out from behind me and fall to their knees, and Ashley released her grip on my arm. I felt it too, the sudden explosion of pain, a pounding in my head. I ground my teeth as my skull continued to ache. I could eventually take it no longer. My mouth opened slightly and I hissed, falling to my knees as well. I glanced up to see Alex fighting the pain, staying on her feet although she swayed a little bit.
"Why are you sorry? What's happening?" She screamed. Desperation clawed at her voice, making it seem slightly high-pitched.
"It doesn't matter right now! You need to get off of the platform!" John yelled back. "Please! Grab your friends and come back!"
Aubrey and Ashley panted, taking deep breaths as if that would ease the pain, though I was determined not to show weakness. My karate sensei had taught me better than that!
Alex raised her arm, though I could see she was struggling to do so. Suddenly, she groaned. So much agony in one sound... She fell to her knees, clutching her head.
I could barely hear now, but I faintly heard John cry out: "No!" I looked behind me and saw Aubrey and Ashley lying on the floor, no longer able to support themselves. Ashley was unconscious, but I could see Aubrey was not. Awake, but not really there, not comprehending what was going on around her.
But then I saw her eyes flutter closed, and knew she too, was unconscious. Only Alex and I remained conscious out of the four of us.
I looked back at her to see her pitching forward slightly, then removing her arms from her head and extending them to catch herself. "G-Grandpa..." She murmured quietly. Alex looked over her shoulder at the four of us, only to find I was the only other one still conscious. I knew I probably looked weak in her eyes, struggling to stay on my own knees, but I also knew that she didn't think of me as weak, just because of this. She too, had fallen to her knees under the influence of the migraine we all shared.
"A-Alex... What's...? What's g-going on...? I questioned softly, cursing myself in my mind. She leaned closer slightly, to hear me better. She shook her head signalling she didn't know either. I nodded my head once, before groaning and falling down next to Ashley, my eyes closed. I fought against unconsciousness, and managed to weakly open my eyes. Alex was no longer looking at me, but was still conscious. I followed her gaze to see that her parents had entered the room, but that was all I managed to see before my eyes closed once more.
As I slipped into unconsciousness, I thought: 'The lightning probably messed up the machine... I wonder where it will take us now...'
When I woke up, my head was pounding and I was lying in the middle of a grassy field in between Ashley and Aubrey, with Alex a couple feet away. I pushed myself up on my arms and looked around, trying to figure out where I was. There were many signs around but they were all written in a foreign language that I recognized from my foreign languages class as Japanese.
I quickly translated the nearest sign:
関東、日本へようこそ
...Welcome to Kanto, Japan

Chapter two! Yes I know, its most of the same stuff, but it did have some new stuff in there! Please bear with me! It will be like this for a couple more chapters, then it will just keep moving forward! I promise!
And yes, I know it's a little bit shorter than chapter one… Sorry!
Please review!
