I swung the door open and flung myself outside while gripping the doorframe.
"Madeline!" I called after the same figure. The girl turned around and stared at me with a blank expression... almost soulless. The girl was not Madeline. She cocked her head to the side, as if she was signaling me to follow her in to the forest of Nottingham. Although I did not know the strange girl... something possessed me to follow her. It was almost as if once I took that first step, I soon found myself running, afraid of losing site of her.
As we moved deeper and deeper into the woods, I knew that I should turn back but something prevented me from doing so. She then turned around abruptly and stepped walking. Her honey brown eyes shifted in to a florescent red. I urged my legs to move but they were unresponsive. I stood there frozen like a statue as I watched the girl part her lips revealing twenty-seven fangs. Her limbs extended from underneath her dress and evaporated in to a mist-like form. The mist crept over me and indulged me in a pungent smell that made me fell sickly and caused my vision to become hazy.


I woke up with a nasty sting on the back of my head and shackles around my wrists. I looked around my surroundings and realized I was in a small wooden room. I saw a small whole in between the floorboards. I leaned down and peered through the small hole. I saw the blurred ground beneath my move quickly past me. I then deduced that I was in a cart of some sort. Had I been kidnapped? What would they possible want with me? Whatever the reason maybe I must escape. I ran my fingers around the walls and felt what seemed like a door. I then ran my fingers around the door and searched for the hinges. To my excitement, I found none, meaning that the door swung out. I stood up and amid myself at the door. I flung myself at the door and heard a small crackling noise. I repeated this several time. I as now tied with splinters in my arms. One more time I try one more time before I give up. Once more, I positioned myself in front of the down. I ran at full speed toward the door, I flung myself at the door, when I made contact with the door the hinges and locks flee of causing me to go flying throw the air.
I landed with the door underneath me as if I was a sled. I skid against the ground for several feet until I came to a stop. I looked back at the cart that I had escaped from and saw that it had come to a stop. I saw two men hope off the top of the cart and began to walk towards me. I got to my feet and urged my legs to run faster. The two goons chased after me calling me horrid things. I ran into the forest and tried to maneuver throw the trees and brush. I looked over my shoulder to see one of the men swinging what appeared to be a string over his head, he released the string and it came hurtling towards me. I felt something wrap around my ankles causing me to fall. I looked down to see a string with weights on the ends of both sides. I frantically tried to undo the string, but in my haste, I only managed to tangle it more. I looked over my shoulder to see one of the men coming up behind me. He raised his ax in the air above me. I closed my eyes and waited for the pain, but it never came. I opened my eyes and saw the ax lying on the ground next to me... along with its owner’s hand. I looked back to see several figures in the distance. I then looked down at what was wrapped around my ankles and carefully unwrapped myself. I stood up, brushed myself of, and walked away.
I only knew taking note of my surrounding. The sky was dark and gray as if a blanked of smoke hazed the sky. Hidden behind the haze was what looked like the suns, were three suns that cluster into a triangle formation and where all smaller then the last. I could not see the ground, fir it was covered in a sea of mist that reached my knees. The forest it's self was depressing. The trees looked lifeless and gray with black leaves. I felt as if the whole world was in black and white. Is this really my beloved Nottingham? I was ripped from my thought when I heard someone call,
"Hey you!" I turned to see a tall black shadow heading towards me. As it emerged from the shadows, I saw that it was a young man with light brown hair. When he saw me, his eyes widened. He was followed by two others. The first one was a small girl with short and wavy white hair, what caught my attention was her violet eyes and long elf ears. The second was another young man with blond hair; this time what drew my attention to him was the large ax on his back.
"Oh my god. Eleanor?" the white haired girl walked towards me. I stammered backwards the closer she came to me.
"Ava, it’s not her. Look at her eyes." The boy with dark hair said. The girl looked into my eyes and backed away.
"Your right there blue not green." She said.
"Where am I?" I finally spoke.
"You’re in Normb near the gate of Humanity." I heard another voice call the three strangers turned to see a fairly toned and thin woman. She was dressed in crimson Arabian apparel. Her black hair was tied back with what looked like a golden clip. Her skin was pale with two black strips on the sides of her cheeks. I glanced up to her eyes and saw that they were golden. Over all she was breath taking.
"What about Nottingham then?" I asked her. The small girl known as "Ava" sneered,
"What's a Nottingham? It sounds painful."
"It's not a thing it's a place, a wonderful and kind place." I told her.
"Then you must from that mortal world on the other side, am I correct." This time the chestnut haired man spoke. I looked at him and nodded my head.
"Then if that's the case, then can I have your name?" he asked me.
"Emily, Hail." When I said my name, their eyes widened.
"Well then Emily, there's someone I would like you to meet that can answer your questions." he took my hand and lead me away with the three other following.
"Wait who are you?" I asked him he turned to me and smiled,
"Erick. As for the others: the elf is Ava, the ax-man is Kail, and the pale Arab is Tara. Is there anything else you need to know?"
"Where are we going?" I asked him. He chuckled and looked down at me,
"That's a secret."
Homecoming


We approached a giant tree that appeared to be five feet in diameter. The tree's roots were sticking strait out of the ground and formed a hollow cage. One by one the three others slipped into the cage of roots and disappeared into under the mist. I looked up at Erik with a worried look. He smiled down at me and squeezed my hand tightly. He lead me towards the cage and helped me maneuver through threw the roots, with out ever letting go of my hand. Once we we underneath the tree he grabbed me by my waist and lifted me up into the air.
"What are you doing!" I shrieked. I heard the others chuckle from bellow the mist.
"Relax." was all Erik said. He then released me and I fell threw the air, until I felt someone catch me. I looked up to see Kail with a stupid grin on his face. He rested me on my feet. I looked around to see that we were in a dark subterraneal tunnel that was light by torches. I looked up to where Erik had dropped me and saw a rope ladder leading to the surface where fog seeped into the tunnel. I watched as Erick emerged from the fog an descending towards us. he landed on the ground with a "thud", he looked down at me and smirked.
"I see you landed safely." He commented. I only scoffed at him and walked forward. I watched as Tara walked by the torches and they light. It was almost as if the torches light for her. we walked farther and farther into the tunnel until we came to a caved stair case that was also lined with torches. Erik held me close to him as we walked up the stairs ,and made sure that I didn't trip. We stopped at a small door that maybe a Nome could fit through with ease. Kail pulled out a rusted key and slipped it into the lock and unlocked it. As he slipped threw I wondered how a such a muscular man could fit through the door.
"I hope Elinor is home!" Ava called. I looked up at Erick with a curious look.
"Who is this Elinor everyone keeps mentioning?" I asked him. He only patted me on the back while motioning for me to crawl under the door.
"You'll soon find out." He said. When I crawled out of the tunnel
