It was just like any other day. I woke up at home. How I hated it so much. I left unnoticed for school which I didn't attend. I went to my safe place. The same place I used to go with my family. Oh how I miss them. Though squabbling with my brother, my fraternal twin, got annoying, living with MY family was great. This family that took me in treats me terribly I wish there was a better place to go, but I'm 16 I'm in the stuck until I get sent back or become an adult. I wish the 2 years would pass already. At least I get joy in my video games. I bought one recently: DIGIMON THE NEXT FRONTIER. I decided to play it. I booted up my laptop and let everything download. Then it started. My lights flickered a few times but I live in a basement with a single lamp so what's new. I disregarded it and made my avatar. I was able to create an exact image of myself in game. After confirming it asked if I was ready to begin. I accepted blindly as the screen went black. I pressed the power button but nothing happened. Then a purple light shone from my screen and grew bigger spiraling. It was a vortex or portal. It dropped my laptop because I was getting fearful of what it was. I walked towards the staircase that led up to the main part of the house. But my steps felt harder to take as I felt pulled back. I looked and the portal was almost my height a couldn't resist the pull of it and was slowly dragged in all I could do before flying in was grab my only memory of my mother. My soft brown coat.
