Hey everyone! In my spare time I am writing a story about the Chronicles of Disneyland, and the first part of the story is called "Legends of Darkness". The Kingdom Keepers book gave me some inspiration. ;) I'll continue to post the chapters here for you to enjoy. Here's the first chapter:
Chapter 1
Gligar was no ordinary boy. He was unusual in many ways; he was sometimes very well behaved; while at other times he was not. Sometimes he did well on tests; sometimes he did terrible. After coming home, Gligar would usually do his homework and then rush to his computer to look at Disney web sites. Gligar was obsessed with Disney. His entire room was packed with Disney stuff, and he always looked forward to his annual trip to Disneyland. However, one morning as Gligar arrived at San Francisco Middle School, he was in his worst ‘misbehaving mode’ ever. He stormed through the halls, an angry expression on his face, and he knocked down several people who were walking past him. Gligar took his math test and cheated off the nerd sitting next to him. He stole others desserts during lunch. He beat up a small boy at recess. Gligar was furious. The reason for Gligar’s outrageous behavior was the discussion Gligar had had with his mother.
* * *
“Sit down, sweety,” Gligar’s mother said. “Now, Gligar, unfortunately the bills are getting too high this year,” Gligar’s mother began. “My job down at the cleaners just isn’t making us enough money. This means,” she gulped, “that we will not be able to go to Disneyland this year. Gligar just sat there, unmoving. Until finally he said, “This family stinks.” And he stormed up the stairs and went to bed.
* * *
Gligar, at first, cried. He was devastated. Not going to Disneyland was like losing a family member to him. After he cried for a few hours, he began to curse his mother and her ‘cheap’ job. His father was dead; he worked for the military and was killed in a battle. Since then, Gligar’s small family had become what you would call ‘poor’. They used to live in a nice house; now they lived in a small shack near the local dump. But Gligar’s mother always had gotten Gligar to Disneyland. Always. Gligar supposed that was going to change starting now.
* * *
That night he went to bed without eating dinner, and he did not give his mother her usual hug and kiss. He went to sleep and had dreams about Disneyland… how he wanted to go ride Space Mountain again. He felt like he could just reach out to the door to the attraction…! Gligar awoke with a start. He looked over at his clock. 12:00 PM. Gligar cursed loudly, but then everything started to change. A black cloud was forming before his bed, swirling and booming. Gligar panicked. He tried to get out of bed, but all his muscles went stiff. He could not move. He tried to scream and call for help; but it also seemed that his lips had sealed. The dark cloud engulfed him. It felt as if he was being thrown off a cliff, falling and falling and then…! He was lying on the floor next to the Partners Statue on Main Street USA, Disneyland.
Tell me if it's any good! :wave2:
