Chapter 1: In which Amelia enters a strange new land
The lights above the city of Tokyo shined brightly as I walked along the very crowded streets. Giant advertisements showed ladies and men the size of dragons as they persuaded the masses to spend on their product. Coincidentally, imagine dragons came on inside my earbud as I walked with the force of an army. I had somewhere to be, and barely noticed whatever they had as I turned my head in every which way.
I'm soooo dead!! My head screamed as my luggage bag wheeled behind me, it's two small wheels screeching like a banshee, chasing after me while I raced towards the plane entrance. I was on a trip with my college group to China when I decided to sneak a trip to Japan.
"Wait!" I called out, hoping to catch it in the nick of time. A young brunette lady dressed as a hostess stopped me before I could even step onto the tunnel. Her eyes were slits reminding me of those cats have, and the alluring color of a sapphire gem.
"I'm sorry m'am, but the plane is leaving." She informed, and I gasped in dismay. No! I was too late.
"Please let me get on! I have to get home." I pleaded, hoping she'd understand the situation. Her chocolate hair curled around her shoulders perfectly, and her eyes were only growing fiercer by the second, giving her a strong appearance. They darted around the airport, only furthering my imagination that she was indeed, a cat. Seeing that no one of importance was taking any interest, she then pushed me down a hall.
"Listen," She spoke softly. "Come with me, and I'll get you a different way."
She motioned toward an abandoned hall, stretching on for miles. The walls were a warm grey, giving the unlit path an eerie and uncomfortable look.
"Is this the way?" I asked anxiously, pulling my guitar closer to my back.
"Through here." The lady assured me, pointing to the door at the end of the blank hallway. I steered at the door blankly before taking a cautious step towards it. Honestly, it didn't seem like a door to a plane, but hey, it may be. The wheels of my suitcase squeealed louder and louder as the door's features came into view. It's old, rusty brown wood barely was visible from my sight. I was hesitant to grasp the rusty handle at first, but decided to thank the hostess first.
"Tha-" I turned to see her push the door wide open and shove me through. "What the hell?!" I yell as I face planted into the cobblestone. I whipped my head around, confusion sewn into my face. Jumping back up to my feet, I grabbed the brass handle and turned it, opening into a broken down inside. How?? I just went through a second ago! I began to feel anxiety set in as I rested the palm of my hand on my left temple.
"Oh shit." I mumbled, walking out of the abandoned house and picking up my suitcase. I felt so lost. Every law of science just threw up and died as I went through that door, and where am I now?! When the hell am I?!? People gave me looks that said 'get the hell out of mah way bitch'. I couldn't understand what was happening, as if the world just decided to stop spinning.
"Mommy hurry or we'll miss May Day!!" A child chirped happily behind me as he and his mother hurried along past the old mobiles. Okay, I think the real question is when am I? Was taking a trip to China with college, sneaked off to Japan, strange lady, pushed through door, apparently May Day.
Seems Legit.
....NOT.
"If we don't get to Market Chipping fast, we won't be able to squeeze through the crowd in time to see Lottie!" Another two boys hurried past me, giving strange looks to my face. Market chipping...why was that so familiar.. I just couldn't put my finger on it. Oh well, time to stop screwing my brain, and start to find answers. I walked along with the crowd towards the Market, seeing a lively atmosphere where people danced and sang, people also got drunk. Wherever I am, you can always tell when a person is drunk. This place, it felt so familiar, but from where!? I twirled around in a circle to see all of my surroundings and the colored life they brought.
"Hey, pretty lady," two men dressed in uniforms were slouched over a table as their poker game must have been really intense. Note the sarcasm. "Are you lost?" One of the men, slightly larger than the other with a black mustache that reminded me of Hitler, asked. I nodded my head; hey, I was totally lost. Might as well admit it. They looked at me really creepy, and came closer as they forgot their poker game.
"Ya see, I'm just looking for a quick way home without any trouble." I advised them, ready to use anything within reach to smack the shit out of them.
"If you'll excuse me!" I raced away, down the cobblestone streets until I was a safe distance away.
"Have you heard?" A young man yelled to the populace, trying to get a extra penny or two. "Howl the wizard is once again on the prowl for woman everywhere!"
Oh, shit. He does not sound like the person I wanna have tea with. Paying the boy, I raced off with my newspaper and suitcase in tow.
I wonder what make this wizard so bad. I mean, look at Harry Potter!....actually, point taken.
