A very ballety tale
“Our new house is so big” Aisha exclaimed as she and Tunde explored the backyard. Aisha started to walk further into the yard and invited Tunde over so she could show her that she had found a well. They gazed down it as if something was manipulating them to come down “wow that's deeeeeeeeep” Tunde had leaned over and fallen in Aisha panicked so she jumped in to come save her.
“Wow” they said at the same time to be disturbed with a “who are you” from what it seems like coppelia a ballet dancer “I’m Odett and she’s clara” Tunde said with a shock and a reminder that she was not truly who she said she was their minds had been brainwashed and replaced with ballet characters they could only remember a tiny bit from their past life where ever that was. Tunde had turned into Odett from swan lake and Aisha had turned into clara from the nutcracker.
Another ballet character came ,Odelia, she was Tunde’s best friend in this world, the land that they just explored is called Fantasia island. They said that they’re four realms: we were in the royal realm that everyone shares, Odett and Odelia share the swan realm and that Clara and Coppelia share the sugar realm. “What about the fourth realm” Odett asked wondrously “Oh yes that is the never realm it is called the never realm because if someone even manages to get in at all they never come out alive” Copelia explained.
They walked up to a hill that viewed a gigantic village they turned around and where jaw dropped when they saw a huge, golden, bronze castle decorated with diamonds. “Who lives there?” Odett said still amazed “that is where you two live and us it is called the royal castle” Copelia said as they slowly went inside.
The dining table where they ate was more than fifty feet long and they could barely hear each other if they were on opposite sides of it. “So could you tell us more about this never realm” Clara asked “what” they both said at the same time. Clara had to keep repeating herself till Odelia finally got what she was trying to say. “Well the never realm wasn’t always called the never realm it was once called the snow realm until one day Odett’s younger sister wanted to be Queen then her parents soon new that she had a horrible plan in mind so they banished her far away from here but not far away from the snow realm in a few days black gates grew around it and it is possessed with dark magic and everyone believes that Odile is dead only the bravest go even near the black gates”.
Odett could not sleep that night. Everything was made of very slippery silk: her pillow, her blanket, her bed sheet when she finally got to sleep she fell on the ground. She kept thinking about the black gates so she ventured to find it.
Once she got To the balck gates she heard a creepy voice in the dark fog say “come in the doors always open your sister odile is waiting for you” then a fighting cackle burst from the silence as the doors slowly creaked open. Odett was scared but even more curious, everyone thought Odile was dead, what could she believe she went in to find the truth “bang” something had knocked her out. When she woke up she was in a cell and the only thing that was there with her was a mirror. Suddenly a voice just like hers said “look in the mirror”. What she saw was then horrifying she was no longer Odett, then the voice came out of the dark that looked like a black shadow and said “your Odile now”.
Then she appeared in an Ice castle. The statues were real people but frozen her servants were her slaves and anyone that dared to come in would end up like them. Odiles castle was lifted up in the air with the ground under it in an upside down triangle and the ice bridge was the only way to get in.
Back at the castle people started to say that the black gates were gone and replaced with an ice bridge once that news got to the castle ,where everyone was looking for Odett, they knew that she would be there either the pray or the Queen. But first they knew that they had to be prepared for what they were going up against. They searched through the library for hours looking and looking. Until Clara finally read a book that someone named Don Quixote was the one that stopped Odile but the final page of how to stop her was torn out. They were running out of time so they went to the Ice castle thinking that don Quixote had been captured.
when they entered a cold gust of wind rushed out to the open but Odile was nowhere to be seen suddenly a freezing cold hand touched them all they looked and it was the guards they had found them, they had lazy eyes, frost bites, and they were paler then a vampire. “Well well well look who’s trying to sneak in send her to the dungeon the other two stay here. Coppelia and Odelia had turned into slaves while Clara had gone into a cell that was made of metal bars so strong she didn’t even bother trying to break out. She was in there for more than an hour until she saw some swans when they landed they turned into beautiful princesses, one of them had the key and unlocked all the metal cells.
Clara continued her journey to break the curse but the guards caught her again this time she was thrown of the ice bridge she was still holding on but barely “help, help, help, help, help” she yelled as loud as she could but no one could hear her first her left hand slipped off then her right and she fell into the swan lake and touch the sandy Ocean floor and got tangled in seaweed.
Back at the ice castle Odile was threatening everyone she wanted to finish what she had started. Her slaves weren’t good enough for her; she wanted the crown more than anything she only had one option to get it herself.
“Hello, Hello” an unfamiliar sound said. Clara opened her eyes, she was confused to be woken up on snow. Her first Question was “who are you?” The response was unbelievable. She said she was Don Quixote and she also said that Odile is trying to steal the crown to become Queen. “ But How did you stop her,” Clara quietly mumbled. “ Actually the truth is I didn’t. me and a team went to get rid of Odile for good but suddenly they all disappeared so I waited for them perhaps they would come back but no I thought that maybe they would be waiting back at the royal realm but when I came back everyone was just congratulating me so as everyone thought it’s safe I chose to go along with that story”. Clara knew that she was the only one that could stop her.
Odile was heading to the Ice castle every step she took turned the brick darker and darker. The flowers beside her died when she reached the palace gates; she destroyed them with one kick of her foot. As she walked on through the royal residence she froze people that took a risk to taunt her. As she reached the crowning room she had a flashback she remembered that this is where her parents knew what she was up to. Odile started tearing up a little but her sadness soon turned into anger. She bitterly marched over to the crown and anxiously put it on her head, as she did the golden crown turned into a more diamond blue colour and so did the kingdom.
On her way to the castle the bright sun was covered with dark misty clouds filled with rain, the pathway to the castle was shielded with fog and the only thing guiding her was a fading torch. The gates were sealed so she climbed over. The noise was so irritating, when she got in the castle, there was crying, screaming and fighting. Fantasia island had turned into chaos and mishap. Clara had a hoodie covering her face and tried to blend in. She was heading to find Odile peeking through every door, then she came across a door with a guard sleeping on a rocking chair. She slowly opened it and took a deep breath.
Her eyes reflected fire and she told herself that she had to be brave. Odile's eyes focused on Clara when the door creaked open and the guards already knew what to do and headed towards her “wait” she yelled, the guards stopped. she started to dance swan lake she thought the only way to restore her memory was to dance, Oldies eyes glitched from black to light blue “get her” Odile visciosly said but they didn’t instead they dropped their weapons and walked out of the room like nothing happened. Clara barely looked, she just continued a small crowd started to form behind her as she finished the last steps. Odile and Clara fell to the ground and slowly began to close their eyes.
“Girls, girls wake up time to go” they put everything in the trunk and went to their new house. As they parked in the driveway Aisha and Tunde looked at each other and then looked back at the house it was the same one from there dreams and the well was in the distance covered by some tree branches they just both agreed that they would never go near there ever again.
