Beginning

This has to be a dream; Elana thought feverishly, I haven't woken up yet... its all a dream.
"This is no dream, Elana," Tywrel said, "This is real. Now, come with me. It is time for you to meet the others." He pulled Elana to her feet and led her blindly through the darkness. She heard the scrape of a key in the door and the next thing she knew, she was squinting against the light of day. --EllyMae
The first thing she saw was the inn. The Golden Cup had been right next to her all that time. Now it was just a pile of rubble, smoking and blackened. Elana felt her eyes prickle as she stared at her inn. It had been her father’s before hers, and she had treasured it greatly. “Come, quickly now!” Tywrel said impatiently. He led her straight to the biggest pile of wood, which Elana recognized as the counter, and pushed open a piece of wood. It swung open like a door, and Elana stepped in. “We have arrived!” Tywrel called out. --Sophie
"Who have you brought to us nowssss." hissed a voice from Elana's far right.

"WE THOUGHT THERE WAS ONLY 6." Boomed a loud voice to her right.

"There is only 6 you idiot, we're 5 this is the 6th one." a snotty 15 girl's voice came from in front of her.

"What is her name?" two voices echoed at the same time. Elana could tell that these we not ordinary people. And that was fine with her, because she herself was not NORMAL. --RIP
“Her name is Elana.” Tywrel said. Elana wished she could see the people around her. Reading her thoughts once again, Tywrel snapped to the voice to Elana’s right, “Light those matches, Branden!” There was a fumbling and suddenly a bright light flared in front of Elana’s face. She could see all the people around her and now could see how unordinary they were. They gasped as she stared at her, realizing that this time Tywrel had brought someone different, unlike them… --Sophie
