Chapter 1
I get sucked into a portal
It was just a normal day, like any other. I was in Egypt for my new college, helping out the poor who couldn't afford health care. The heat was super intense, and it didn't help that I had to run around tending to peoples' needs. Though, I did sign up for it, so I shouldn't be complaining. I took a break to get some lunch. Nobody else was in the food tent. Strange, because there were volunteers everywhere. Suddenly, there was a gust of wind. I thought it was a sandstorm, but there was no sand blowing. I looked to my left, and there was a big, swirling vortex-looking thing next to me. Not that I know what a vortex looks like, but still. I felt it pulling me in, and I tried to scream, but my voice wouldn't work. It pulled me in quickly, and I felt like I was being stretched apart limb from limb. I must have hit my head when it spat me out, because I blacked out.
When I woke up, I had a splitting headache and my arm was really sore. I was caked in sand from head to toe. I looked around and everything semmed normal- sand as far as the eye can see. Except, I was in the middle of the desert. I got up and limped away. I can't remember much, but I wandered to some sort of building-type thing. I saw a boy and a few other people. The boy cried out in pain, and I was startled. I was looking at the map of Egypt I had in my backpack, which thankfully made it through the portal, but it didn't do me any good. I rushed over to him and helped him with the wound. The strange thing is, nothing caused the wound, it just appeared. Huh. He was a bit startled at first, but then he asked, "Who are you?". "I'm Clara," I replied, "who are you?" He told me that his name was Yugi. I explained that I was lost, and he turned to a girl with white hair and blue clothing. She looked quite strange, if you ask me. He said something about someone named Atem and his parents and the girl nodded.
They took me to a palace, which I learned to be the pharaoh's palace. I was barely able to bend my arm. Strange, I thought, It might be broken. When we got to the palace, the pharaoh stepped out. He greeted Yugi and the others warmly, and he looked at me. Yugi explained who I was, and he introduced himself as Atem. We walked inside.
Sorry it was so short! I promise a longer one next time!
