Mixed Up Book 1
Hi I’m the narrator, today the story will not be narrated by me but by a girl who has quite the story to tell, she says. Her name is Vena. She has quite the temper though so once she comes in I will ask her if she wants anything to eat or drink, tell her to start the story and keep quite. Here she comes. “Would you like anything to eat or drink? ”no, I’m fine, can I just get on with my story?” Sure okay.”
CHAPTER 1: THE BEGINNING
“See it all started off as a normal day nothing special until the
tornado came to town. See I live in a small town in Michigan called Ann Arbor. Tornadoes are not very common in Ann Arbor so we were not prepared. It started on the afternoon of November 12. My mom was out taking my older brother to his friend, Carlos’s birthday party and my dad was at work. I was 6 at that time and had a babysitter watch over me. I loved playing games and never realized when anybody was away. I was playing Minecraft on my i-pad when my babysitter told me to come down immediately. I was like what? But I came down anyway. “Get your most valued things and come downstairs to the basement. “I remember her telling me. At that time I had no idea what was going to happen next. I took my things to the basement and asked my babysitter what was going on. “I really hope you don’t get alarmed by anything but there is going to be a really violent tornado happening very soon. Anyway what did you pack in your bag?”. “I packed my i-pad,charger,headphones,my stuffed animal dog Bumpy Puppy,my favorite photo,some memorable jewelry, my Game On book, and my favorite clothes. Wait, why can’t people just take a plane out of here? ”They can’t because there is no time. Keep your head down the tornado is here.” Feeling that as a young child was torture. The winds were ferocious, everything was getting whipped around. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Suddenly out of nowhere I started getting lifted up, it was too loud for my babysitter to hear my screams. Inside the tornado was just as violent as the stuff happening outside the tornado. Everything inside the tornado was getting whipped around to. I didn’t know what to do,
everything was happening so suddenly. Believe it or not I actually decided that right then and there I should just wait and see what was going to happen.
CHAPTER 2:
A PLACE TO STAY?
When the tornado FINALLY ended I was in the middle of a
dessert. “What’s happening?” I wondered panicked yet dizzy. “I shouldn’t have waited to see what happened.” I wailed. “Do I at least have my bag?” Sure enough I did with everything in it. I began slowly walking and walking and walking and walking and walking and walking until the Sun decided that it had enough of this world and decided to take a nap. “Seriously Sun you have to set NOW!”I screamed in frustration. As you can probably see by now I had gotten SUPER frustrated that I started kicking the sand and grumbling. Suddenly I walked straight into something. I got knocked back down the sand hill I was climbing on. “What the what? OMG is that what I think it is? “I said to myself. If you’re wondering what it was? It was a big metal and sandstone built thing popping out of the sand hill. Slowly but surely I walked to it. As much as I was tired I still wanted to take precautions. I knocked on the center of the thing since there were no doors or windows. No sound, tap tap, no sound, I finally started going back but suddenly the huge metal and sandstone thing opened up COMPLETELY. I turned and saw a man standing there with a quiet confused look on his face. “Umm can you please let me
rest in there with food to eat for a couple days? I got whipped away here to this dessert by a pretty bad tornado that came to our town.” I said. I know you might be thinking why would you ask him right away if I could stay in there. Well I was so tired that I had to cut right to the chase. “Sure, come in. Looks like you need a place to stay. “The man replied in a stiff voice. “Those monsters should be coming out pretty soon.”.”Monsters?”.”Yep, monsters. Reckon you never heard or seen any.”. “No. I thought they were myths and not real.”. “Well kid, you see a lot of stuff you see in storybooks, myths, and legends are actually true. But not all monsters are horrible, in fact if you treat them properly and with respect they will become great friends. Remember they might become great friends but not pets; remember great friends but they are NOT pets.”.”’Kay.”. “Hey kid why you don’t stay with us. We actually have other kids here to. They claim that they were abandoned by their parents but I don’t see any villages. By the way what’s your name?”. “Really, I would love to! Oh my name is Vena.”
CHAPTER 3:
A NEW FRIEND?
Let’s quickly go over the part between age 6 to age 13. So what
happened is that the place I stayed in was actually evil but I didn’t know that back then. I didn’t know that until something happened. The name of the place I stayed in was called Dekciw.I learnt afterwards that it’s wicked spelled backwards but I don’t pay
attention to names. Also I became good friends with a girl named Anna. That moment was pretty important and special in my life so I want to tell you what happened, but I actually think I want a drink now. “Can you go get me some umm Mug Root Beer?” “Sure.”(Gives drink). “Anyway back to story. When I was there I took lessons and had to deal with popular kids that were VERY annoying like a real school. When I was at my first week people would keep on staring at me and whispering stuff I couldn’t hear. I didn’t know why they were staring at me. One day we got a test on monsters and how to defend. We were in groups, what that means is that when everybody in the group is done we would all check each other’s. I got paired up with Anna and the ROYAL QUEEN HERSELF, Lilac. The whole time we were doing our test Lilac was whispering that she was going to ace this quiz even if she gets everything wrong. Believe it or not she’s correct, when I was grading her test she got a zero but when she turned here’s in, the teacher (Ms.Donlow) erased her F and gave it an A+.
“Wait I know she’s the QUEEN of the school but why did the teacher gives her an A+?”I asked Anna when the class was exiting the hall, “Because they like her? I honestly don’t know, hey wait a minute aren’t you the new kid?””Yeah, why?” “You don’t KNOW.”.”Know what? Anyway it sounds interesting so can you pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeaasse tell me.””Okay,-.””.Vena please report to the Bosses office “The speaker out of nowhere echoed. “Guess I have to go, hey never got to ask you, what’s your name?”.”Anna,yours?”.”Vena.”.”Nice name, maybe we can sit
together for lunch?”. “I’d like that, bye!” I first started running down the halls but then when I reached closer to the office I slowed down. When I reached the office I gently opened the door”.”.”Ah, Vena, take a seat.” The “Boss” said.”Okay?”I said as I took a seat. “Do you know why we let you into this place?” the Boss asked. “Because you felt sorry for me?”.” No, because you have power we could use to defeat our enemies. ”Enemies, power wha? Rewind like 5,000,000 steps back and start from the beginning but don’t take way too long ‘cause it’s almost lunch.”. “I won’t take too long but I will if we don’t get started, Vena only few special people are born with magic and you, my dear, are indeed very special. Don’t understand? Well you will see what I mean in due time, back to what I was telling you, most magic is just minor things like water, fire, air etc. blasts, directions or levitating. You have SO much powerful magic but I can’t say which type of magic and for the enemies, they are the wretched Harmonies. They will try to manipulate you into joining their evil group. They will say that they are good and we are evil but do not listen to them, you are dismissed.” I remember walking away vowing that I would not fall for their “tricks”.
As I ate lunch with Anna, I thought about all the things the “Boss” said, about magic. “Am I really that special?” I thought aloud. “What?” Anna suddenly asked me. “Oh nothing, I’ve just been thinking about...... something.”. “Oh, hey I never got to ask you what happened in the meeting with the Boss.”. “Something happened.”. “What something?”. “ Something okay, don’t ask me.”. “Okay.”.”Hey Anna, what did you wanna tell me?”. “Oh! That
uhh...uh.uh uh-”.”Wait did you forget what you wanted to say?”.”Ma..y..be.”. “ Ths hdb,ugg fine it’s okay.”. If you don’t know what this hdb means it’s a sound I make when I’m frustrated.
Chapter 4:
It Finally Dawns On Me
Finally to the interesting part, I woke up in my dorm(I
originally shared a dorm with a girl named Gerdle but now I share a room with Anna.) on a warm June morning. It was the last day of school. Oh by the way I didn’t just wake up normally in fact I jumped out of bed(literally) hit the ceiling, jumped on the bed again and bonked my head against the bathroom door just because I had a nightmare. Also out of all this commotion Anna still was sleeping. I got ready and woke up Anna so we could walk together to breakfast. When we reached breakfast there was a large crowd gathered over a section of the wall. Me and Anna pushed our way through the crowd, when we got to the front a part of the wall had been broken and there was a huge hole! “Holy camoly happened?”. “Look, there’s a helicopter!” A random boy shouted. “What’s going on?!” Anna screamed. “ Students move out of the way.” The “Boss” said surprisingly calm. Suddenly a thin woman came out of the helicopter.”Ah Layla, THIS is your base? Haa ha, it looks like it’s a base for people who ain’t got a life wait I forgot you don’t have a life.” The thin women commented. “Whittney, I’ve seen your base it looks like it just has been rolled in mud.”. “Wait what is going on here?” I interfered. “Who are you?~gasps~ Yo-u-r, Do you attend
here? Whittney(the thin woman) asked.” Well of course I do. What do you want?.” “Vena, this is one of the Harmonies, Whittney and no I will not transfer her to your dumb school, in fact I don’t know what I’m doing Vicerneries ATTACK!” The “Boss”(Layla).”NOpe, she’s coming with me.”. I start to feel pulled and before I know it I get teleported to the Harmonies base.”
“Now can I take a break? I’ll finish the story tomorrow.” Okay.”.~Vena leaves~ Narrator here, find out what happens in the next story telling session. Bye!
