"Look at Amy!"
"She is so weird! No wonder no one hangs out with her!"
"I woudn't come close to her even if they paid me!"
"Okay girls. I'm going to the bathroom to fix my mascara i think it's a bit smudged."
Leilana went to the school bathroom and started fixing her mascara. Thinking about the jokes she and her friends made about Amy, she couldn't help but giggle a bit.
As she was about to leave, she tripped over something.
"What the-"
She noticed a glowing object on the floor and picked it up. It was a small ball made of porcelain split in the middle; one side was black, and the other was white.
"What in the world is this?"
She went to pick it up but as soon as she did, she felt a twisted feeling in her stomach. She got dizzy and her vision was getting blurry. With one eye she saw all black, and the other all white. Then she fell unconscious.
When she woke up, she wasn't in the bathroom anymore. She was in a giant room split in two. One side was black and one side white, of course. It felt like she switched dimensions. She started looking around in fear when she spotted two figures. They both looked like girls her age, but they didn't seem human. One had long sparkly white hair flowing around like its underwater; she had a beautiful white flowy dress and big light blue eyes that looked like the sea. She was standing on the white side of the room, smiling. The other girl had short messy black hair also flowing around, but unpredictably and aggressively. She had a loose black dress and dark brown eyes, almost black. She was standing on the black side, also smiling.
"Welcome to the white side!"
"No. Welcome to the black side."
"Shut up you! The white side is much better. Come here, girl!"
"No, come here!"
Leilana was standing there confused.
"I'm confused. What do you want from me?"
"I want you to choose me."
"No, you need to choose me!"
"I stilll don't know what's going on here! Why do I have to choose!?"
"That- That doesn't matter. Choose me already! H-how about I just show you how GREAT the white side is? And then you will want to choose me!"
White grabbed Leilana's arm and started floating twoards the white side. She showed her beautiful nature, people that get along, happines and harmony amongst the people. But to Leilana it kind of felt like an illusion; it looked fake, and White's tour felt kind of rushed.
White dragged Leilana back to the split room.
"So? How was it? Will you choose me now!?"
"Wait! Can I see the black side too?"
Leilana said out of curiosity.
"Well, if you want to."
Black said and walked up to Leilana. She grabbed her arm and took her to the black side where it was just another room...just a black room. Black just sat down on the floor.
"Wait! Thats it?"
"Well yeah. The white side is the same. Just a white room."
"No! In the white side there were so many things! So much-"
"That's because she lied to you. She made it up."
"You see, a long time ago me and White were both normal girls. We also got trapped in this world because of that stupid ball and we have been stuck here for hundreds of years. We hate it here and we tried to find another way out, but we couldn't. The only way out for us is for you to choose one of us. Because of this we slowly started despising each other. We are trying to keep the last bit of positivity we have."
Black takes an object that looks like a wilting flower. It had a slight glow but barely noticeable.
"This is my soul. The glow was supposed to be the hope I have left. Our souls got separated from us like this and the only way to get back is... well, to escape. But if the soul stops glowing it will be corrupted and we disappear. White's is almost completely corrupted by now."
"But why you two?"
"Because we just so happened to stumble upon the ball. Let's leave now."
Black took Leilana back to the split room.
"SO? What did Black show you? Just a black room, right? So, who deserves to lea-uh I mean, who deserves your choice?! My luxury or her boring room? I deserve it! I showed you so much more!"
"I told her things you coward don't dare to say out loud. I deserve to leave."
White felt a sharp pain in her heart and pulled out her soul in panic and realized it was already about to corrupt.
"I DESERVE YOUR CHOICE!! CHOOSE ME!! I DESERVE IT!"
"NO! Choose me, I deserve it! I'm more worthy."
No, I am!"
"Don't you think I'm better?"
"No, I told you more! I deserve your choce now CHOOSE!"
Leilana was overwhelmed and she had enough of this. She didn't know what to do and then... She came up with something.
She stood in the middle, one leg on the white and one on the black side.
"Stop! You both deserve it! Just because one has more or told me more, doesn't mean you're more worthy! You are both equal and deserve the same! I choose both!"
"So, what are you waiting for?"
Leilana was now back in the school bathroom, broken ball in hand. She was thinking about what Black said when she finally realized what she meant. She went up to Amy.
2Hey Amy! Do you want to hang out after school?"
""Wait, really?! Well, sure! Yeah, of course!"
They walked out of school and another day finished. A day that changed everything.
