Chapter 1: Crazy News
Sara Binski stared out the window. It was a cold winter day in the middle of January. She took a sip of her hot chocolate as she pulled her blanket around her.
The ground was covered with at least three inches of snow, and Sara hadn't had school for a week and a half. She went to Harvard High School and was a sophomore
Soon, the phone rang. "Hello?" said Sara. "Hey, Sara! It's Jenny! Would your mom mind if I came over?" she asked. The roads were too icy to drive on, but Jenny only lived a few blocks away, so she could walk. "Probably not! Come on over!" replied Sara and she hung up the phone.
As Sara put the phone down, she looked back out the window. Whoa! Either she was hallucinating or she saw a goblin in the yard! She wiped the fog from the window with her hand. "This is a dream," she whispered and walked outside.
She walked down the steps, and, sure enough the goblin was there. "Who are you?" asked Sara. "I am Dan," replied the goblin. "Are you Sara?" Sara stared at him speechless before answering. "Y-yes! What do you want?" she asked. "Do you not know that you are Princess Sara from the land, Avon? Your father is the king!" he said, amazed by Sara's ignorance.
"What?" asked Sara, about to choke on her own spit.
"You must come with me immediately. You have been expected to show up for years," he said.
"I can't! Are you crazy?" Sara shrieked. "I'm being informed of a magical land by a goblin and I'm a princess! You expect me to just go along with this?"
"We don't have time for questions! We must leave now!" Dan ordered, pointing to what was apparently a flying carpet. Sara didn't see a point in arguing anymore, so she reluctantly got on the flying carpet with Dan and they rose into the air.
