Chapter 15:
She didn't know where she was. All she knew was that she was cold.
Emmy opened her eyes. She was lying on her back in the middle of the floor of an unknown room. Her hair was a mess and her coat had a ripped sleeve.
'Where am I?' she thought to herself.
She slowly sat up. She had a really painful headache. She looked around the room. It was empty, no furniture whatsoever. She looked up at the ceiling. It was made of wood and highly decorated. Images of knights in armor, dragons, princesses, castles, and many other medieval themes covered it.
She looked at the floor. It was also wooden, a darker shade than the ceiling. It had an image on it as well. She was sitting in the middle of a flame. She viewed the rest of the picture. Above the flame was a crown draped with rose buds. Below was many designs that resembled plant roots.
"That's peculiar," Emmy thought aloud.
She turned around and noticed a door.
'Maybe this is my ticket out,' she thought.
She got up quickly and quietly, and slowly made her way to the door. She grabbed hold of the doorknob.
"Please be unlocked," she whispered to herself.
She turned the knob and pushed. The door opened with ease.
"Yes!" She mentally scolded herself for yelling out in such a manner.
She quietly glanced out to see if anyone was around. All she saw was a dark, empty hallway.
"That's odd. Why is no one here?" Emmy silently walked out the door and slowly crept down the hallway.
She walked for about five minutes, rounding many turns along the way, when she spotted another door.
"I hope this one is unlocked as well." Emmy whispered to herself. She tried the door and found it unlocked.
"It's as if they want me to escape." Emmy pondered.
She pushed the door open, expecting a hall filled with guards or a cell. She would have never guessed what was really in front of her.
Blue could be seen as far as the eye could see. The strong scent of salt filled the air. Waves brought a soft mist upon Emmy's face.
"Is that...the ocean?"
She was on a boat. A boat set for an unknown course and currently in the middle of the sea.
'Oh no. How on earth will the Professor find me? Who knows where I am!' Her thoughts morphed together.
The motion of the boat and the pure shock made her head spin. Emmy did all that she could. She fainted.
I hope you enjoyed chapter 15 even though it was short. Who has Emmy? And where are they taking her? Chapter 16 coming soon!
