Setting: Unknown Territory Character: Mysterious Newcomer What to do: Have to escape

Dozens of stares pierced through my back. Whisperings and mutterings could be heard. A mysteriome newcomer in town, they said. I didn't care. Only one question rose in my mind...

"Where am I?"

The more I walked, the more intense the stares they gave me. I knew something wasn't right about this....something bad was happening. ....Was it my imagination or did my steps echoed? I froze in my place. 10 seconds after that, the sound of the steps did the same. I started walking again and the voices came. Was someone following me? No...it wasn't just someone...There were at least 5 people. I sped up and ran. This time, these stalkers didn't stay quiet. They started pointing at me, ordering me to stop. I didn't want to be arrested yet! I was still too young. All of a sudden, from a corner, someone dragged me. Caught.

"Let me go!" my sound was muffled in his hand.

"Ssst, do you want to get caught?" he replied. In that instant, I was silenced.

I didn't know how long it had been but the sound of the steps had started to fade. I got out of the hiding place and looked around. Safe. I turned to this mysterious hero and started questioning him. Before my mouth could even open, he had asked, "From another dimension?" I just nodded, wondering how he knew.

He smiled and held my hand, "Follow me. You've got to escape fast. This place isn't for you."

I frowned, "This had happened before?"

"Only the second time," he answered. I mouthed 'oo'. I had a feeling that he was lying. An instinct, I guess?

"Okay, we have arrived," he said, opening a door, which lead to a mirror. My eyebrows turned upside-down. He just chuckled at my expression.

"This is how I travel," he explained. My eyes widened in shock. A time traveller?! He shook his head.

"If you had thought of a time traveller, you are wrong."Did he just read my mind?!My expressions clearly showed how I felt and he started laughing. Again. "A dimension traveller," he said after finishing his laughter. He held my shoulders and lightly pushed me to the mirror.

"I hope we will meet again!" he exclaimed. Opening my mouth for the first time, I shouted to him, "I hope not!"

Before leaving, his chuckles rang in my ears.
