Rriel's Point of view

What is going on? I look at the book in disbelief. My mouth hangs open. The book is glowing with a yellow glow all around it. The book opens, and the pages flip. My body shakes. Everything is spinning around. It was like swimming fast behind a shark.

I close my eyes to stop the spinning. It was making my head hurt. When I open them, I am shocked.

"Who are you?" the beautiful Opal asks. I recognize her from the Pearl.

She looks so scared. " It's okay, and I am not going to hurt you." I try to calm her.

I look around. Everything seems so different and unfamiliar. If this is Opal, then I am in the human world. That book brought me here.

"You came out of the book," she says, her eyes wide.

I notice the book in her hand, and it looks identical to the one I have at home. I look down at my hands for the book, and it was gone. I see human hands, and I began to panic. No, I stay sane for Opal. She's already so upset.
