Madison
I have no memory of what happened to me. All I know is that I woke up in some sort of laboratory. No, not a Laboratory, more of a Wizard Room, I know I sound crazy, but seriously, magic is real. Probably. I couldn't move when I woke up, and I still can't.
Around me, I see two shelves. Books are on one shelf, and ingredients on the other. The room is dusty, and ancient-looking. like from a castle in a storybook. A young man strolls in the room, and following him, an odd odor fills the room. The man, in his twenties, casually grabs a book and some red feathers and green scales. Seemingly unaware that I am here, he gets to work mixing and stirring, he pours this awful smelling red goop into his cauldron.
"Let's let that sit, sister." He says to me, his eyes gleaming with a wicked glint. “Soon enough, sister. Soon enough." I try to speak. All that comes out is a small grunt. I try to speak again. Nothing. Again I try to speak, but the more I try, the more it feels like I’m choking. "No use trying." he says, not even glancing at me, “The Hanakist spell keeps you dormant. Your body becomes paralyzed, your mouth can't move, and your mind becomes dormant. The more you try to resist the more the spell fights. Already the spell is wearing off. Which means I am going to have to do -," Swiftly he seizes a wand, and the next thing I know each hand and each foot is held by this glowing black rope. "That." He says, and leaves the room.
Now that I think about it, my body felt tense when I awoke. Every passing minute my body feels looser and looser, like a ton of weight has been lifted. Looks like that Hana-whatever curse has worn off. I shake my head and a few strands of my ginger red hair falls in my face. Oh great, now my nose itches! The black ropes are, of course, magic, I think. Now that I figured out that magic is real, if not, I was hallucinating, but right now I’m definitely not giving it the benefit of doubt. A spark of imagination burns inside of me, and fills me with hope, although it’s a really dumb idea, I’ve got to give it a try, it’s my only chance of getting free. I feel my wrists and ankles burning. It’s now or never, it is time to put my plan into action.
I shout as loud as I can, hoping to get someone's attention. I barely hear footsteps but they're there.
"What’s with the racket?!" a voice with the faintest accent shouts. Not the person I wanted. The voice gets closer, and then a guy that looks only 2 years older than me barges in. He has hazel-brown hair, and light skin, he has soft facial features, he also looks like a snobby brat, and he looks fit enough to go with the football players at my school which I don’t know if it even exists in this world that I woke up in.
"Hey! Do you know how to cast a spell to break these ropes?" I ask. The burning sensation is getting stronger by the minute.
"I'm not supposed to be here." he says as a sly but cute grin forms on his face. "Look at all this stuff. You want out don't you." he says it more like a fact than a question, but I nod anyway. He crisply says to me, "What makes you think I would do that for you? After all, you're a prisoner to Kadis."
"That's his name?” I snort, “Sounds like what my grandpa would call my brother, Kaden, but more weird. Anyways, can you get me out of here?"
"You put a lot of trust in a guy you just met," he says.
"Anything to get me out." I say desperately.
"Fine," He says, casting a spell, breaking the ropes. "If you have to create such a fuss about it. I’ll follow you, don’t think I’m letting you go too easily."
"Like I said, anything to get me out."
He casts a spell that forms those same black ropes as a rope. I climb down and he follows me. And we run into the woods.
I start to think these thoughts, Where am I? Where am I even going right now? What was my life before this? Who is Kadis? Who am I? Why did that Kadis guy call me ‘sister’? That guy that saved me is kinda cute. I’m hungry.
Just as I think that last thought, my stomach starts to growl. “Seems like you’ve got yourself a monster in your stomach.” the guy says, smirking. I feel my face get hot, “Speak for yourself. And that wasn’t funny.” I say, trying to hide my smile. “Mmm-hm, okay. I’m hungry, but since you seem to not be so hungry, I’ll just go to the next town and get some food, just - for - me.” he says in a mocking nonchalant tone, pausing in between when saying ‘just for me’. “UGH! You’re SO annoying!” I exclaimed, and he just smirked, a cute smirk.
Hmph! Why does he have to be so annoyingly cute! His hair is messy, and even his clothes are crooked. I hate messy people, but why don’t I hate him? His eyes are super pretty, though… Ugh! Madison Genine Elenor, if you keep getting distracted by a guy, you will never make it out of this magical world alive!
“Whatchya thinkin about?” the guy asks, I realize that my brows are furrowed. “Oh! I’m fine, just…” I want to ask him why he’s so good looking, but I hold back, knowing that he will think I’m into him, which, by the way, I’m not! Okay, I guess I am… but still!
“C’mon, let’s go get some food. I promise that I won’t poison it.” he said. “Okay, but will you buy it? Since I don’t have any because someone kidnapped me.” I ask, “Sure, as long as you kiss me.” he says. “K-kiss you?! B-b-but, why do you want me to do that?” I ask, stuttering, he suddenly bursts out laughing. “I was just joking, silly! Do you think I would want to kiss you? Especially when I already have a girlfriend? But it’s okay, you look so cute when you’re flustered.” he teases, I feel my cheeks grow hotter.
Ouch. Does he seriously not know that he just insulted me?! He didn’t have to emphasize when he said ‘you’ to me! I wish I could just stop liking him… But too bad I can’t. Also, GIRLFRIEND?! Please tell me that he’s lying about that! Wait, why do I seriously feel jealous?! There is nothing to be jealous about! Totally!
“Okay? I guess?” I say, not pointing out the fact that he insulted me, right now, to my face.
That's what I added to the story so far. I hope you like it! I'm going to add more, obviously, but I just wanted you to see it. Can you give me feedback?
