*sigh* I know I am posting a lot in my journal lately, but I am bored and I have been writing A LOT over spring break! so i thought i would post chapter one of my book that i have been writing! ..... well.... here it goes!
Chapter 1
Confused
Part 1
I look on both sides of me and I see only white; white everywhere I turn. I cannot distinguish land from sky, right and wrong, or even what happened. I try to remember my name and why I'm there, but my head is as blank and my surroundings. I don't know why, but it felt eerie. Out of nowhere, as if it had appeared out of thin air as I had, a bright, round light came about in front of me. It reflected off of the never-ending white abyss around me and made my eyes sting. I closed my eyes painfully and fell onto my knees. At that very moment, a loud humming met my ears. It boomed and thudded and I had to remove my hand from my eyes to my pulsing ears. The agony was overbearing and overpowering. And, just when I couldn't take it one more second, it all stopped. I collapsed onto my side, still grasping my thudding ears.
I had lain there for what seemed like hours, when I finally uncovered my ears and opened my eyes. I was lying in a pasture of due-covered grass. I was surrounded by trees (oak by the looks of them). They were all alive and thriving. Unlike the other place, this pasture seemed peaceful, even friendly! But, I still didn't understand what was going on. I stood up, my legs wobbling with the sudden move. Everything I heard sounded alive; crickets, leaves rustling, animals snapping branches and hunting prey, but it still didn't sound scary. In fact, it sounded quite strangely inviting and warm. I was so tired. I took my black jacket off and hung it on a branch of a tree branch (it was much too hot for a jacket like that). One part of me wanted to explore, but the other side wanted to lie down and sleep. I decided to sleep. I lay down on my side, tried to imagine a nice, soft pillow under my still headache-infested head, and fell into a deep, slightly uneasy sleep.
When I woke up after what seemed like seconds asleep, but actually, considering it was already dark, must have been hours. I sat up with a jolt, as if someone had poured ice-cold water all over me. The meadow was no longer friendly and warm, it was eerie and cold. There was absolutely no more sign of the pleasantries that had filled the air before I had closed my eyes and drifted off into my own mind. In fact, it was so different, that I actually looked around, as if to find that it wasn't the same meadow at all, but that I had gone to yet another place. But, as I looked around, I saw my jacket hanging on the exact same branch in the exact same way, billowing in the cold, menacing wind.
I realized that I had started to breathe heavily. I put my arms around myself as if I were in a straightjacket, trying to calm myself. I told myself to go back to sleep, but I couldn't. I couldn't let go of the feeling that a million eyes were watching me, deep in the shadows of the trees. I kept hearing rustling and crackling wherever my back was turned. Suddenly, as if all of the fear had been taken out of me, I stood up; ready to fight anything that challenged me. But then, every tree around me started to shake, and, just as suddenly as it had went, all of my fear came rushing back into me. It almost looked as though the trees were scared as well as they stood there, quivering, yet, they looked less frightened, more like they were trembling with wickedness.
Cautiously, I took a step forward. Nothing happens. Another few steps. Nothing. A couple more steps. Still nothing. I am now at the end of the edge of the trees. I look into the deep, dark shadows cast by the towering trees and shudder myself. I do not know what inspired this ridiculous move toward my fears; the woods were just calling me. My heart pounding, I sneak a foot forward, expecting something to come out of nowhere and attack me. Still, nothing happened. I was very confused, yet I felt oddly triumphant. A smile emerged onto my face. The rest of my body slid into the forest, barely making a sound. After every step, the shuddering of the trees diminished. Finally, after about fifteen steps, the trees were still. They had gotten me at last. They could rest.
Confused
Part 2
I felt safe. The one thing that I'd feared since I'd gotten there had turned out to be harmless. (Or so I thought.) I walked; just walked. I was still curious about the place. I looked around a tree and saw that ahead there was a spot where the trees seemed to stop. I ran to it, but only found another green clearing exactly like mine. I walked to the middle of it, puzzled. I couldn't have gone in a complete circle, could I?
