I sat down with my computer and iPod at the counter. Mom had gone out for the day, leaving me here to do my homework. I went to the fridge and got myself some mint ice-cream. I loved having an ice-cream parlor downstairs. "I'm glad my mom likes this job" I thought, sitting down to do homework. Thinking hard, I tried to write my essay.

Suddenly, a bright light flashed and a strong wind blew, pushing my waist length black hair into my ice-cream filled mouth.A girl who was younger than me appeared. She looked around twelve and had shoulder length blonde hair that bobbed up and down like a trampoline when she walked. I dropped my ice-cream in surprise. "Where did you come from?" I asked, surprised.

"Hi, um" She said. She peered at the back of my iPod, obviously reading my name. "Hi, Jennifer, I'm Elizabeth.  Well...." Then it all rushed out. "The Door to the Demons, or what we call the Hole, is opened. You have to help close it. The Magical world is in danger! Demons are everywhere! Well, and… I don't know how to say this but.. The Wise ones said you and I will grow to be the strongest magic wielders, and we must close the Hole. So… um… are you coming?"

I thought this girl was crazy and wanted to get back to work.I tried to ignore her and listen to my iPod. My favorite song was on! But I couldn't concentrate.I turned to her and said, "What do you mean? Magic was when I was little. It is fantasy. You think I believe it is real? I have no magic." I laughed the thought off. It can't be real, right? A dark colored pool from my neighbor's yard reflected off the face of the curious child. There was a long pause.

Then Elizabeth started again.
"You don't know? Do you remember your dad at all?"
"Um…" I said "a little. He would make things fly away from me. He was tall. That's about it." I shrugged. Elizabeth sighed.
"Well, your mom is a NRH which means Normal Regular Human. Your dad is a Magic Wielder. Actually, he was the leader of the Strong group- the ones with a lot of power. Your mom married him, had you, and decided she did not want you to be a Magic Wielder so she tried to take you away from Magic. But you still have magic and we, I mean the magical world, needs you."  
She must have seen my expression because she said, "How do you not know about your family history? You are a legend in the magical world. You are the only child of a Strong Magic Wielder and a NRH." I could not believe my ears.Where does she make these things up from? I turned the music on louder and stared at the computer. Great, my ice-cream had dripped. The melted pool of mint ice cream spilled off the counter, onto the cold wooden floor of the patio.

"Um, I don't understand you nor believe you" I said.  Elizabeth must have gotten mad because she reached over and turned off the music, staring at me straight in the eyes.
"Never have I spoken to such a deaf pair of ears!" She screamed "We need you. Don't you understand?!" I stared at her.

"I don't like this magic idea at all. Parents may be wise, but sometimes they make the dumbest decisions. Mom, why did you have to marry a 'Magic Wielder' and turn my life into a crazy jumbo"?! I wished this would all just disappear… or never happened in the first place!

Elizabeth fell to the floor and started to cry all over herself. "God!" she said "First they give me this mission. Me!Out of anybody! But it's an honor that they chose me. But, still, I thought I had a partner to do it with. But now she's given up on me. Without even trying! Oh, God. Why doesn't she believe me if she remembers her father making things fly!" I took in everything I has heard and seen. It's true,Dad had made things fly.And how come Mother never let me read fantasy books? Was that because she wanted to keep me from magic? Be realistic. I thought. How could Elizabeth have come in so suddenly if magic wasn't real? I realized she was right, and I sort of had to help her. There was more to this than my time and life. Her whole world, family, and everything that she had, was at risk. And according to her, my family, life, and world were at stake too.

"Elizabeth" I said. "What really is for gamble here? What might happen?"
"Well... um..." said Elizabeth between sobs." The demons are monsters! They can kill everyone, eat everything.... They can go through the portals to this world and do the same things here. They can take over and destroy the world. And then, there's also the demon king. He is or  when I left he was still in the demon world. But if he comes he could keep us alive as slaves or turn us evil or control our every limb!"

I gulped. This was bad. I realized I had to help her.
"I'll come" I said.
"Oh, really" Elizabeth came and gave me a wet hug. "Well, let's go" She said and we walked through the portal that she drew with her hands. I closed my eyes and felt as if I was being sucked into a vacuum cleaner sort of tube. For once in my life, I wished that I was even skinner then I was, (which is skinner than most), maybe it would stop the pain. And then we were there,in a world that was beauty itself.

I couldn't believe my eyes.  There was a bright blue sky, twinkling green grass, lofty trees and dainty pink flowers. Every creature you could imagine was there: little tiny elves, pixies and fairies, unicorns. But as Elizabeth led me closer to the heart, I saw the terrible destruction going on. It was bye-bye paradise. There were stormy clouds, muddy brown dirt, leafless trees, and wilting flowers. The worst part though, was the demons.Dwarf-like blood-suckers called Red caps, evil birds called Griffiths, elementals, and all sorts of demons were before my eyes. There were Fire demons, water demons. I couldn't imagine how much harm they could do.

"Come on" said Elizabeth. She pulled me towards a huge but shaggy house which I realized used to be a palace. She brought me into the "palace". It was massive and I would have said lovely. Except that every flower was wilted, everything covered in mold. The colors were all faded. I imagined how it was before the demons. The stars were probably covered in a red carpet, the tapestries trimmed with gold. Before I knew it, Elizabeth nudged me and bowed, so not realizing why, I bowed too.I looked up and saw a tall, beautiful and tired looking woman. The queen, at least I think that's who she was, said "Hurry up. The spell is almost complete. We just need a piece of each type of the demons. I leave that to you". Elizabeth nodded but I stared.
"What is going on?" I said "I mean, Your Majesty, please explain?" The Queen laughed.
"Sorry, I forgot myself. I am Queen Trisana. And you are?"
"I am Jennifer."
"Well then Jennifer, we are making a spell to make the demons leave and close the Hole behind them. To do that, we need a piece of each monster we want to ban. The Members of the strong group already did that for some beasts, but they were too weak to do the stronger demons. We want you to do that. Then we need you to help with the spell as the person who captured the parts. Got it?"
"Yes." I said. The Queen nodded to Elizabeth to continue.
"There are 38 types of "beasts" that have escaped from the Demon world. They are the Ashwinderus- a kind of fire serpent, the basilisk- a sort of serpent, and the centaur. There's the doxy, seven types of dragons,  the Chinese fireball or lion dragon. There's also gnomes, griffins, grindylows, hippocampus, and hippogriffs. There are kappas, kelpie, knarl,and manticores. You saw the red caps, there are sea serpents, sphinxes, and trolls. There are werewolves, three types of fire demons, two types of water demons, two types of earth elementals, and three types of elementals of air. You don't have to know what they are,we only have to kill the ten types of demons."
          
I stared open mouthed. "Well, we've better start now." I thought. We walked out of the palace. Immediately, we saw a demon. Elizabeth started chanting. I just wanted to get this over with. I had to do my essay. So, I don't know why, it was really dumb, but I thought, "Just die, give us a piece of hair, invite your entire group of little demon friends to the funeral and we can kill those."
         
Then, out of nowhere, these words popped in my head. " Arisea, oh demona, providelyiana usa with a hahair, thena plummeta." And suddenly, a piece of hair fell into my hand, and the demon collapsed. "How did you do that?" asked Elizabeth. "I don't know" I said. "It just happened." And then we continued on our mission. And just like that, they all died. I don't know how I did it, but I did. And before I knew it, I was in front of the queen again.
"Already! Thank Goodness! You are amazing!" Queen Trisana  collected our hairs, and thanked us.

We gathered around a pot with a potion and the Strong Group mumbled some words while Elizabeth and I stirred. The steam formed an image of all the demons being sucked into their world. We cheered. The palace shined. The colors came back, the mold went away. It looked great. The flowers grew straight, the sky turned blue. The world was fixed.

Then Queen Trisana told me, "Stay here. Don't go back to your world. This is your world."
I thought about it. This world was amazing! But I couldn't. So I told her,
"I can't. Please let me return.I'll visit here often"
          
I said good bye and walked back through the portal. I ignored the pain and just felt the woosh of magic. Then I was back in front of my computer again. I drooped. I was out of strength from the magic I did. I didn't understand, I wasn't tired before. The only thing I could think about was what just happened. So I decided to write my essay about this story. And I did. I wrote and wrote and almost felt it happening again. I cried. I missed Elizabeth already.
"Elizabeth! I'll visit often." I said out loud. And then I heard it. A voice in my head. It was Elizabeth.
"My mother taught me how to mind-talk. Next time you come, I'll tell you how." Elizabeth was gone. No more talks for now. I went back to my essay.

That night, my mom read my essay and do you know what she said? She said "Wow, I didn't know you had an amazing imagination." That made me chuckle, but I didn't tell her a thing for I knew she wouldn't let me visit or mind-talk or do magic. I couldn't let that stop.
Well, I wrote this for the Live-Write-Now contest. I chose a new way to write then I usually do, so here it goes. Tell me how to fix it. I'm welcoming the mistakes.

(I know it's rushed. Looking it over, I like the beginning but I think the rest is rushed and bad. )
Thank you :iconsword-to-scabbard: for helping me fix it!

This is interesting, but I think you should really work on building tension. I plan on doing a workshop on this in the future over at my group, PocketStories so I'll try remember to invite you to it.
