I hear something. People maybe? I don't know. I open my eyes, and my room comes into focus.. the sound gets clearer.. 'Oh...its just my room mates.... my besties" I think as I sit up and plop my feet onto the carpet beneath me. My blankets are scratchy and grey.. "ew get these off " I threw the itchy rags onto the floor. I sat there for a moment just taking in my surroundings. my room was bright but gloomy. and messy.. MY room, messy? weird ..past my room was a hallway, past the hallway was the living room. it was all dark except for the light from the TV. When the light flashed I could see my room mates(im not sure what their names were...lets just call them john and jane) sitting on the couch, feet on the coffee table... They were arguing about who gets to choose the television show and laughing really loud. "They look so cute," I thought. (They were definatley into each other, but too scared to say it out-loud) I rubbed my eyes, got in a good stretch, and let out a giant yawn.... "oh, you're up!" it was jane. John looked over his shoulder at me, "good morning sunshine!" uggg, morning people... I stood up, and walked over to my open window. I looked down.. we must have been on the 20th floor or so...across the alleyway was another building. It was plain brick with rows and rows of windows that seemed to mirror everything on the building I was in. there was an open window directly across mine. At first I didn't see anyone inside, but when I looked a little closer I could make out three people huddled around what looked like a cauldron. I stared at them curiously, trying to figure out what in the world they were all doing. Dark purple smoke poured out of the giant black pot they were all standing around. There seemed to be a leader. She was turned away from me, and all I could see was her back. I could also see that she was tall. with a pointy black hat. and bony hands with sharp black claws. Under her hat lay a silky black cape that flowed all the way down to the floor. Suddenly they froze. I leaned in closer, almost touching the glass on the window. What in the heck were they doing? Suddenly they all turned and looked in my direction! When the leader turned around I could see her green skin, giant nose, and vicious smile. She was staring straight at me. I ducked behind the curtains. they continued to look in my direction.. "oh no! did they see me?" I quickly slid out of view and leaned up against the wall. After a few seconds I worked up the courage to look back and see what was going on. They were gone! All that lay in the house was an empty black kettle. hmmm. Thats odd. I must not be as awake as I thought. "I should just lay back down" I moaned as I walked across my room and plopped back down on my mattress. I lay there for awhile trying to make sense of it all.."Are you coming out here or what?" screeched Jane. from the kitchen I could hear John, "Yeah, I made breakfast! Come eat." "fine." I grumbled as I roll back off my bed. I rolled and rolled, but I didnt land on the floor. I was covered in something. It felt rubbery and weird. red light was pouring through what looked like skin.. Skin?! what the? I screamed for my roommates, but no response. I looked around. There was light coming through 2 windows. So I floated up to them.. Wait,
FLOATED? What the heck was going on? When I got to these odd shaped portholes I peered out. I saw my room again, except everything seemed just a little bigger..hmm? on my wall across the way sat a mirror. I could see myself laying on my bed. I was completely still. I glanced at my eyes. They were just open sockets. ewww! As I was looking away I could see something in side of one of them.... It was a figure...made of light. beautiful golden light. I moved in closer to see what it was...It moved too. I withdrew in surprise. So did the light. wait a minute. Im confused. Was that light...me? I turned to the left, It mirrored me. It
IS me! Oh my gosh! I screamed for my room mates again. I could barely see around the door frame and down the hall.. Why was Jane just sitting there? Cant they hear me? and what is going on? I must be asleep... suddenly the front door opened. In came the lead witch... She sniffed the air, and turned her face in every direction slowly as if she were searching for something. The other two witches came bursting through the door behind her, barreling toward the couch. I looked back at the horrendous leader. She was staring directly at me. She had the most terrifying evil smirk. Her smile curled from ear to ear as I watched the witches take Jane out the door. I screamed for John. Why wasn't he hearing me? I clawed at my body.and screamed and tore..it was no use.. I had to calm down and figure this out or my best friend would be taken by these... things. Who knows what they will do with her. Maybe I could control this shell I was in. I mean, it
is MY body after all. I tried to move my arm...No use...ok, maybe my leg...nope. I glanced back out the hole that was my eye. It was just her now...still staring at me with that vile grin..Oh how I hated her stupid looking smile. I just wanted to slap it off her ugly face. she snapped her fingers, gave me one last look, and swiftly turned toward the open door. Her silky black cape flowing behind her... I yelled, "I hope the knob hits you on the way ou---".. I started to feel weird...drowsy...My vision blurred, and blackness started closing in all around me...as the door slammed shut I could see John, a plate full food in one hand and a glass of milk in the other..looking at the door.. in shock. You stupid man! How lucky he was that I didn't have control of my hands. he shook his head as if he were trying to reset an etch-a-sketch...My vision was getting worse, I could barely keep my eyes open.I watched john as He looked back at me. He finally snapped out of it, and I watched him drop the plate of food on the ground, and dart toward me as the darkness took over completely.
I opened my eyes... I was still on my bed. Was I back in my body? .... I think. I looked up. I saw John standing by the window peering Up at the moon. I sat there and watched him for a moment. Then I realized I felt really weird.. My arms were tingly.. So were my leggs.. I moaned. John turned around. "You're awake." "Its about time" "What happened" I asked. "They took her. We have to get her back!" I tried to sit up but I was too weak. John walked out of the room as I drifted back into the darkness.
"get up!" It was John . I opened one eye.. It was light outside again. I opened the other. I felt better now, So I sat up. My arms and legs were back to normal. "They put a spell on you, you know." "i figured." I sighed. "you were... inside....... there," he pointed down at my body.. "really" I said sarcastically. "you were this tiny ball of light!" I rolled my eyes.."yup".. I just wish mr. obvious would be quiet already so I could wake up. "we need to find her" "How?" I asked. "I followed them to their secret liar." "WHAT!" "after you passed out ...like a little baby... i caught back up with them" My eyes almost bulged out. "First of all, ruuuude, and second, why would you do something so stupid john?" I smacked his arm "OWW! well, I found her didn't I?" he shook his head. "lets go!" he declared as he turned toward the door.. "ok, ok, just let me get my shoes on" "hurry it up sleeping beauty" He bound down the hall...he was a man on a mission, thats for sure. I stood up and put on my shoes. I gazed out the window as I turned toward the hallway to help my fearless room mate. I noticed that the room across was different. I stopped to take a better look. There was a woman in an apron. She looked like she was talking to someone upstairs. she rubbed her hands on the top of her shirt, wiped her brow with her arm, rolled her wrist toward her face and looked at her watch.. I could read her lips as she started to speak again "its almost 8, jeeze, lets go!" then she turned back toward the kitchen.. tiny feet came skipping gracefully down the stairs. It was a little girl. She had on black and white sandal shoes and a blue checkered dress. She had the cuttest little pig tails ever, and As she looked at me through the window I got this odd sense of da ju vu. "JESS!" "aaaahhh! crap John. You scared me!" "come on, lets go!" "ok ok" I said as I turned back toward the window to take on last glance at the little girl. She was gone by now. probably in the kitchen... So I shrugged my shoulders and ran out of the room to meet The crazy man who was (not so patiently) waiting for me, his sidekick, to go whoop some witch booty. "so, john..." "huh?" He looked up at me "once we rescue Jane, are you going to finally declare your love for her?" "haha, this is no time for jokes." he squinted his eyes at me and ran down the hall.. I laughed as I follow him out the door and into what would be the weirdest adventure of my life... to be continued
