Chapter 3
Rescue
Late in the afternoon, Diana woke up, to find herself in a very sophisticated bedroom. It was really small, she had to bend her head a little and walk. There was a small bed, and she was sleeping on it. " Oh Dear, where in heaven's name am I?" Diana panicked, and sat up on her bed. There were posters everywhere, featuring what looked like rock stars, except… they didn't look very… Human. There were badges and trophies filling up a small but grand cupboard, but the trophy that attracted young Diana was the one on top of the cupboard. It was huge, and as Diana inched closer, she read the label:
Holly Short
Captain of LEPrecon
First Prize in 'Flyer' flight competition
Flight competition? Diana was puzzled. These things can fly? Then she remembered. " Airplanes! Wow, she must be really good. I wonder how she looks like," and immediately when she turned, she got her answer. There was the largest poster, and in it was a short but really pretty… girl. " That really doesn't look like a human girl," Diana thought to herself," but it has to be, right? Fairies don't exist,"
"That is where you are wrong, my dear girl," a male voice sniggered. Diana jumped, and ran outside the room where the voice came from. Outside was a control room, and there was someone there. But before she could see who was standing there, he pushed a button and the floor beneath Diana gave way, and she screamed as she slid down, all the way into a pod, but of course she didn't know that. The pod started to move, and Diana gaped. The chute (she didn't know that as well) was absolutely huge. All the animals in the world could squeeze in here! But what startled Diana was what she saw when she looked down. Volcanic lava. Oh my goodness.
Then she observed a small glass of water that said 'Drink me'. Feeling really thirsty, and being only 7 years old, Diana took the drink and gulped it down. In minutes, she felt dizzy and fell to the floor. But too bad she drank it so soon, otherwise she would have seen a certain commander watching her back from a secret sector of the pod.
