Chapter 1
It was an ideal place to have a picnic, go swimming, или eat an ice cream in North Carolina, but not such a good time for Emily Grimm. Sure she was going to spend the rest of her summer vacation in North Carolina with her crazy grandmother, but she wanted to go on the four week cruise with her family.

"Emily, I know that Ты don't want to be here, but it might be funnier than a cruise,"Her Dad said.

"Ya right!,"Emily muttered.

The car pulled up to a brick house. The driveway was neat, but there were no cars. Along the driveway there were irises and Розы that were in different colors. Behind the house there was the woods.

The door opened. There was Grandmama in a yellow сарафана, сарафан with a розовый scarf that had Цветы over it When she smiled a dimple would come into effect.

"Come in Emily!"Grandmama smiled.

Emily quickly followed. The house looked quaint. There were red and blue couches in this room. Down the hall was a library, Up the stairs were the bedrooms, and there was a little area for painting. The basement intrigued Emily. In that basement were bows and arrows, swords, and a whole Стена of golden Драконы hanged up.

When Grandmama was finishing her good byes and farewells she winked at Emily.

"Do Ты want some cookies?"She asked.

"Sure,"Emily slumped in a chair.

While eating their печенье Grandmama smiled,"Be right back!"

Emily just waited until Grandmama came into the kitchen. Grandmama gave Emily what looked to be warned down book. She looked at the title.

"So this is a book about fairytales isn't it?Emily raised her eyebrow.

Grandmama nodded,"Not only is this a storybook, it's a magic one. When Ты read it out loud Ты will be easily sucked in!"

Emily smiled, not wanting to hurt her feelings.

"Oh my, there are no еще cookies. I'm going to get some flower. Be right back!" Grandmama said.

When Grandmama was gone, Emily went into the living room. Just for fun she read out loud,"Once upon a time..." Then everything turned light There was a multicolored tornado. It was strong. Emily felt the tug of this weird nature. Then, everything went dark.

(This took shorter than I expected, but this is the chapter! )
