So I just wrote this randomly. Each letter (D and R) represents a person (I think you
ou can figure out who they are ) and so the story is told from two people's point of view.

My eyes flickered open, at first my vision was blurred but they then focused and all became clear. I noticed something was wrong as soon as I jolted upwards. I peered at my hands – they were stained with earth browns and greens. As I stood up, I noticed that I had nothing on my feet, but they didn’t hurt when I stepped onto the forest floor. I was confused by this, but that was the least of my worries right now. My nails seemed oddly sharp; I accidently cut myself in attempt to get up. My skin slit open and blood leaked out and trickled down my arm. The slither of liquid burned my pale skin. I raised my head and was taken aback by what stood clear in front of me. Where…where was I?! A tranquil, yet somehow eerie, forest surrounded me in every direction. The towering trees stood tall over my body. The damp, lonely feel of this place made me shudder. The strange woodland continued a far as my eyes could see, beyond my vision was what seemed like black mist that floated into the never ending depths of the wood.
I inhaled the musty air and raised my hand to my head, to my shock, my hair was hot to touch. I sharply snatched my hand away; I was both confused and terrified. My initial reaction was to run. I ran as far away from where I was – I trusted my instincts. I came to a sheltered area; the trees overlapped each other and created a forest ceiling with almost no gaps for sunlight. The immense ceiling stretched over metres of land and almost seemed to lean in over what looked like glass statues.
The strange creations were arranged in a circle, in the centre was a peculiar wooden owl, the eyes were closed. I gasped and took a gentle step towards the first statue. It was jagged and smashed but somehow it seemed like it was supposed to be that way. The glass was completely untouched and my eyes felt tricked at such an immaculate sight. I rapidly stepped over to the adjacent statue. This one was transparent too but it was formed in the shape of a tree. It appeared almost as an exact replica of one of the trees that surrounded it. I shook my head in disbelief and then walked over to the third statue. I stared into the swirly, distorted face of the third statue’s delicate but precise structure. My eyes blinked involuntarily, just because it was so alien. I felt like I needed to force myself to wake up from this hideous nightmare.
The fourth statue was the most peculiar. It was as if it was frozen in mid – motion. It looked like someone had smashed it, but the segments of glass were perfect cubes suspended in mid-air. I didn’t dare touch one. It appeared as though the glass would shatter and break at one touch; it looked so fragile and perfect. I moved on to the final statue. This one was a mirror. I suddenly recoiled in shock at what I could see in the mirror. I thought it was a trick, but it wasn’t. I began trembling, this was all too much. What had happened to me? The normal girl with long, golden, floating hair and eyes that reflected the sky…where was she? The human. There was one thing I was certain of now, I was far from anything human. My skin was a pale white, almost like I had permanent powder coating my body. My eyes glinted a fiery red colour and they were outlined with what looked like thick, black charcoal. My lips were as red as blood. I realised why my hair felt hot, it was golden, like normal, down to my ears but it then roared into orange then a deep red shade. I gasped. I then swallowed and continued to marvel over my new form.
But my curiosity got the better of me and I slowly wandered over to the wooden owl carving in the centre of the statues. He seemed so alive, yet peacefully sleeping. His wooden beak was parted a fraction and there was a dent inside. I knew this was a puzzle. For the first time in this alien place I smiled, I had always loved puzzles. I peered closer at the dent inside the owl’s beak. Something was supposed to fit in there…but what exactly? I tried searching around for anything that would match the shape, but when I returned to get another look at it, the shape had changed! Now it formed an equilateral triangle. I stood for a moment, focusing on the shape, bewildered. All of a sudden it re-formed, making a cube shape. Something then struck me. I had seen that cube shape here before; I closed my eyes and searched my mind. Of course! The fourth glass statue! I didn’t know if it was possible but what other choice did I have in this lost place? I gradually held the cube in my hand and tried to dislodge it. Surprisingly, it worked and it didn’t break. It was almost like someone was meant to grab it. I then heard a strange ticking noise, getting faster. I then turned my attention to the owl, whose beak was rapidly closing. I leaped forward and threw the cube into the narrowing gap as accurately as I could.
Click!
I grinned triumphantly as the cube set into place and then the owl jolted into life. His beady eyes opened in one fast motion, he stared into my soul; his gaze was petrifying. “You shouldn’t have done that.” Came an evil screech that reached the depths of my mind. Suddenly, before my eyes stood a huge monster, the huge owl was ravenous and I was his prey. His razor sharp talons tried to clutch me, nearly slicing my head off in the process. I screamed and sprinted as fast as my legs could carry me away from this monster. My scream echoed throughout the woods and pierced the black mist. This was it. I didn’t think I’d die so soon…
[FONT="]R[/FONT]
A girl’s scream met my ears. Finally a sign of life in this forsaken place. I didn’t know what to do when I awoke here. My hands were stained and my head was spinning. I didn’t think reality could be so hard to define, but that seemed the worst trick of all. I don’t know who I am anymore. What was I trapped inside? This wasn’t me. It was some sort of trick, it has to be. But I’ve always wanted to be a Sheika. That’s what I am now, it’s unmistakeable. The eye symbol marked on my chest in red, the clothes and everything else. I am glad I have this fine weaponry here, I managed to get my hands on a magnificent sword. It seems fairly useful. I thought I had better follow this scream, after all it was the only sign of life in this place, and the girl sounded like she was in danger. I jumped down off the branch I had been perching on before and rolled as I landed. This agility was entirely new to me, so I was experimenting. I could run for miles at great speeds without getting so tired. I accelerated through the scene of trees and dark forest. My eyes then saw a massive flash of red flame. I sped towards it. The fire began to spread through the trees and they started burning. I ventured nearer to where the fire had first struck. I then saw a beautiful girl but she was sprawled out on the forest floor. Her hair spiralled across the leaves and twigs, looking unreal. Her eyes were delicately closed with thick black dust outlining them. Her rosebud lips were slightly parted and her arm was cut deeply. Blood was rapidly spilling out of her arm, so I immediately ripped the material that was wrapped around my neck and tended to her wound.
I spoke out loud as I asked myself the questions that were encircling my mind. “Who is this girl? Where are we? What is this monstrous land?” I echoed.
“You are in another world,” whispered a mysterious, soft voice. I sharply spun round, guarding the injured girl. To my surprise, an elf girl was walking towards us. She had an ominous white glow surrounding her; she almost looked like a ghost. She had deep, blue eyes and curly fair hair that fell around her pointy ears. She wore a simple, flowing white dress but it was absolutely spotless. She looked a fair few years younger than me, not a threat but what the white light around her was, was added to my list of questions.
“Do not fear me. I can erase you from both of these worlds, but I want to help you,” her gentle voice whispered. I blinked, unable to say a word. She slowly slipped forwards and touched the fire girl’s cheek. Colour immediately flooded through her body and she sat up gasping and looking around. Her ruby eyes glistened in shock. I was even more confused than before, but she was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen…
[FONT="]D[/FONT]
The next think I knew, I was awake. I was gasping for breath and before me knelt a boy dressed in a Sheika’s clothes and a strange elf girl. The last thing I remember was the owl demon. I was running and I turned to face it, I blocked my face with my hands and then…then a huge flame of fire erupted from my hands. The power was overwhelming and I fell to the ground. And now…this. The girl simply blinked and the boy was next to speak. “I heard you scream.” He said, quietly. “I rushed to the first sign of life in this place.” He trailed off towards the end, he was looking right at me. I got lost in his brown eyes for a moment but then shook my head and turned my attention to the elf girl. She looked small, the strange light that floated around her peaked my curiosity. I had seen so many scary or different things in this world. What was this place?
The girl began talking in a whisper. “There are two worlds we know of. There may be more but these two worlds live next to each other, colliding occasionally. They live in harmony, alongside each other and sometimes there are openings. These openings allow powerful beings to slip between worlds, but then sometimes humans fall through and change form. They lose their memories too. This world is just one endless forest with evil puzzles that trick human minds, so the humans that fall here tend to become panic stricken easily. In this world you are a Sheika and you are a Fire Demon. In this world you are a brave warrior and you can control fire. In the other world you are just humans, but there’s something important you both forgot. Can you tell me who you are in the other world?” Her thin voice left us both in deep thought.
I peered at the warrior boy. I knew him…those eyes I had seen before. I searched my mind for answers. Those deep, brown eyes. Who was he?
[FONT="]R[/FONT]
I thought about the elf girl’s question. Another world? I knew this fire girl. I recognised her, I am sure I did. I had thought she was beautiful before. Who was she?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At that moment, a spark in each of their brains suddenly ignited. They gasped at each other in shock, they realised who they were. In the other world - the world we are in now as humans- they were close friends at first and they loved each other. How could they forget? They slipped into this world together and they forgot everything.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[FONT="]R[/FONT]
It was her. I loved this girl. How could I not remember her?! I think she must have realised who I was too, I could read her facial expression like a book. The elf girl smiled and then spoke again. “I have seen many leave this world, yet I do not know of an exit besides the powerful being’s portals. Unfortunately, humans cannot use them as a gateway back to the other world. They seem only to work one way. “ I bit my lip at first in anxiety, but then I looked over at her…I loved her and I had to help. She looked like she was about to cry, her dark red eyes filling with tears. I stood up and brushed the off the dust of this woodland world. “Thank you, Miss.” I said to the elf girl, bowing. She giggled and then slowly faded into the black mist, her hair flowing and her dress blowing gently in the wind. I peered at that fiery red her, those shining red eyes. I offered her my hand, she was the one who I loved and I had to lead her out of this world…
[FONT="]D[/FONT]
It was him. How could I forget him, of all people?! I loved him. But in this world of tricks we both seemed to forget everything. With a cute laugh and a gust of wind, the little elf girl vanished into the mists. I nearly started crying, how would we escape the evil clutches of this messed up world? Before I could think about anything, he offered me his hand. I took it and felt complete again, I was safe with him. “Come on.” He spoke softly. “Let’s find a way out of here…”
