Hey I'm Zara just a 15 year old girl and a Kamilaroi Christan from Australia, I thought my life was going to be normal but oh was I wrong. A little context about me, I have six siblings, three girls and three boys, I'm the second oldest but you'll find out their names later on in the story the main one I want you to focus on is my brother Leo, he's 13 with fluffy hair and brown eyes like the rest of my family including me. Anyways I'm around 5'4 with long brown hair, I live with my nan, im not really interested into boys… or girls and would rather be in the library reading a book. Anyways back to the story
Monday: 28 feb 7:45
The sun is shining, birds are singing and I, I'm in the bathroom brushing my hair while Leo is snoring in his bed, like always. I glanced into the mirror back at a necklace set up perfectly on my desk, I had found the necklace at a park after school, it was a amethystwith a golden pendant and a silver chain. I could feel the necklace calling me but maybe I'm just hallucinating things or maybe that necklace was a lot more
I sighed before mumbling to myself "zara that necklace isn't calling you, don't be crazy"
I continued to brush my hair before glancing down at the scissors and blue dye on the sink, I bet you tell where this is going
I cut my hair into a short wolfcut, yay! hope my nan doesn't get mad, welp no going back now
Meanwhile
Leo woke up, still tired. He grab his school uniform (yes we have to wear uniforms here) and walked to the bathroom
He walked into the bathroom only to stop in his tracks with wide eyes. I stood there staring at myself with my hands stained blue
"Is it bad?" I said awkwardly as I touched my hair
Leo's gazed soften as he smiled softly
"Of course it is"
It was a joke, he always joked like this
I smiled softly and shook my head
"Like you can do any better"
"Well ms I can do everything I-"
"Are you kids up? You're going to be late!"
That's our Nan, the sweetest lady you will ever meet
Leo pushed me out of the bathroom and locked the door before I could react
I blinked surprised before shaking my my head with a soft smile
I grabbed my necklace and walked into the kitchen where my nan was cooking
"Sit down Zara, your breakfast is ready"
Her voice was soft and calming definitely the thing you want to wake up to, gosh I love her
I sat down as she placed the food in front of me
It was eggs and bacon with a cup of orange juice
"Thank you Nan" I said with a smile
Nan smiled back at me before noticing my hair
Her eyes widened, I thought she hated it so I tuck my hair behind my ear
"You…"
"I know it's bad"
"Bad? You look amazing!"
I was speechless, did she just call me… amazing
She kissed me on the forehead before going back to cooking
Leo soon join us
"Man that shower was cold"
"I wonder why"
My nan said as she put the plate in front of him
Leo rolled his eyes before eating his food
I put my necklace on as Leo looked up at the clock to see the time : 8:30
"Crap we're late!"
Leo grabbed my collar as I quickly grabbed my and his bag while he dragged me out
"Goodbye kid, don't be naughty!"
Shook her head and put our dish away
School: lunchtime 11:00
I was sitting alone like always eating my lunch
I was looking down at my necklace, wondering how much it worth until nova came over, oh no
Nova is 16 with hair styled into a long, wavy form. The hair features a dark brown or black base color that that gradually lightens to a soft, pale pink at the ends. Creating a ombré effect.The bangs are relatively short and straight, contrasting with the longer wavy layers of the rest of the hair, she's 5'6, and is loved by everyone and I mean everyone, like all the straight girls turn bi the second they saw her, like damn how can one be so pretty?
"Hey weirdo"
She sat down in front of me with a smirk
"What do you need now?"
I narrowed my eyes, it was the same thing every day but I wonder what new things she got for me today
"Just checking up on my favourite weirdo"
She noticed my necklace, oh no this can't be good
"Where did you get that necklace?"
She said her smirk never leaving
"My nan got it for me"
That was a lie of course
"Hmm seems like a pretty expensive necklace"
She said leaning in close
The bell rang for class
"It is so leave me alone"
I got up putting my lunch into my bag
Nova narrowed her eyes and got up too
"Now, now not so fast, I'm not done talking to you"
I didn't listen and turned around to walk away
"Did you not hear me?"
She put a hand on my shoulder ready to pull me back
My eyes widened and out of panic I turned around and
The principal office
"You punched her in the nose?"
The principal said disappointed
Nova was sitting next to me with a paper towel covering her nose
I sat there awkwardly and nodded, it was my first time in the office and I knew my nan was going to be mad
"Oh Zara, you can't go around punching people"
She said writing something
"Look I'm going to need both of your guidians to come in and Considering this is your first time Zara I need your parents to come in"
I nodded
"Good, you can go now"
After school: 2:30
I was sitting on a bench next to nova as she treated her nose
Don't ask why, I don't know either
"Look nova I'm sor-"
Nova put her hand up
"Don't worry about it"
Just then Leo jumped up from behind us
"Boo!"
It scared me accidentally pressing the stone on the necklace
"Leo what the heck!"
Leo was laughing as nova narrowed her eyes at him
Before we could say anything the necklace glowed and blinded all of us with a purple light
4 months later
Well here we are, I'm in a different world surviving by myself with no idea where my brother is or how to get back but right now isn't the best place to talk because I'm being chase by a creature mixed between a lion and a bear
I ran through the forest with the creature hot on my tail
"Dang it Zara, don't wake up any creatures you see!"
I ran to what looks like a kingdom wall but I was cornered, I could run into the kingdom but what if they're dangerous too?
The lion/bear got close to me their teeth showing as they sized me up like a piece of meat, I mean I probably am now but still!
"Well zara you're about to die and you haven't even had your first kiss yet!"
Just then a hooded lady with fox features (tail and ears) and angel wings jumped in front of me holding up her hand
"Stay back!"
The creature growled before the hooded person blasted the tree next to them scaring it off
"Are you alright?"
She said turning to me as she took off her hood
We both froze as we reconside each other
"Zara?!"
"Nova?!"
We continue to stare at each other confused before we heard growling coming from the woods
Nova grab my hand before dragging me into the kingdom
Once we were inside my jaw dropped
Everything was clean, everyone was happy and everyone were… not from my world as everyone had animal features with angel wings
I followed nova as we walked through the kingdom
"Woah where are we? Why is everyone so different? Are you even human nova?"
I said as nova grab a apple without paying and ate it
"You're in starlight kingdom, we were all born like this and no, I'm not"
We walked for a few minutes before getting to a run down tower, the windows were broken, it was coved in graffiti
Nova waved her hand in the air changing the appearance of the tower and dang it looked fancy
We walked inside
I looked around amazed before being stopped by nova as she had a serious face on
"Alright pass me the necklace"
She said holding out her hand
I put the necklace away from her
"No! Why should I?"
"Because I'm from this world, therefore I know more than you!"
She said trying to grab it
I pulled it away from her and narrowed my eyes
"No, I'm keeping this safe with me whether you like it or not!"
"Gees you're so infuriating"
The sun was setting and I was not in the mood for dinner
"Well I'm going to bed"
"Good night I guess"
Nova said as I walked away
I walk to a room next to nova's and it looked like something straight out of a fantasy book
I immediately jumped into the bed finally able to sleep on something other then rocks and leafs
And fell asleep
Meanwhile
Nova was downstairs sitting at the table with a book opened
"Come on there has to be something to help us"
Until…
"The chosen one?"
The book followed a legend one as old as time
"Two royal fell in love, one from the evil kingdom, one from starlight. Everyone thought they'd be a good couple until they had two kids, two girls. They said the oldest took the dad's genes while the youngest took both, the youngest one day chose to be more than just a princess she wanted to be a knight, but her parents forbid her well mostly the dad. So one day she ran away and the oldest took over the throne. The chosen one is carefully chosen out by the gods of both this world and earth, to make sure the oldest doesn't step out of line but if she does, the chosen one will…"
"Be stuck in this world until they bring world peace…"
Nova said as her eyes widened
The chosen one could be me or even my brother but one things for sure the queen can't be trusted
