Chapter 3- The backstory

 

The golden sun rose upon the petite Greek city as Onyx strolled along the ancient, grey, brick path. Suddenly, a diverting light caught her eye and drew her towards it, obviously curiosity got the best of her. Onyx began to roam around the place, trying to find the cause of the flashing figure. After a while of searching, she found where it was coming from; a little garden. The garden was full of all unusual types of flowers; Ghost orchids grasping the trees along with vines, a patch of rainbow roses with ladybugs scaling the stem and lastly, a long row of black and white blossoms which intrigued Onyx the most. There was also a little hammock tied on 2 cherry blossom trees with a white, silky ribbon.  

 

After a while Onyx grew bored of this beautiful garden, despite all of its beautiful features Onyx wanted to discover more and waved the garden goodbye. Soon enough she found a little bungalow placed in the middle of the woods. The bungalow seemed sturdy enough, so Onyx confidently walked to the entrance and turned the doorknob. The door slowly creaked open and Onyx began to regret her discissions. Onyx walked through and she seen everything the house contained; A little living room with a patterned carpet embordered with brown thread, a little study area drowned in books, a bedroom for 1 in a honey lemon colour and lastly, a miniature kitchen with tiled flooring. Onyx then seen a little teapot steaming in the colour yellow which was quite peculiar.  

 

After a while Onyx got quite homier with the place, well that was until she heard a knock at the door. She then heard a voice and new it was her que to leave. She leaped out of the window and ran as fast as she could and found herself back in the Greek town, her heart racing 100 miles an hour. She looked down and remembered that she had taken a little something with her. A book. She was not going back to the bungalow and decided she would keep the little leather book, after all it was just a book, right?  

 

A couple of days later she was done with the little area she was living in and made the discision to go discover another place. Onyx went back into the woods and found another building. It was big and gloomy. Onyx loved it. She thought it was abandoned and loved the idea of exploring it. She strutted towards the entrance and found the golden door handle and twisted it slightly, the door creaked, building up suspense for Onyx and it didn’t take long before she began to regret her discisions once again. “H-hello, is anybody here?” stuttered Onyx, waiting for a reply. “Who are you?” said an oddly familiar voice. Onyx scanned the room trying to find out where the voice was coming from. 

 

“There is no point trying to find me, my voice is being simulated for you to hear. You have done something that you shouldn’t have done, therefore you must escape this room before the time runs out. Fail and don’t escape, you must stay here forever or prove yourself worthy and escape and earn your freedom. Goodluck.” said the voice calmly. Onyx then began to realise what she had done…
