(Chapter 1) - The Glowing Book

“Jack! Come here look what I found!” yelled Luna.
“What is it?” asked Jack.
“It’s a book. An old leatherbound book. I can’t seem to figure out how to open it. It’s locked!”
“Lock? Give it to me.” Luna passed the book to Jack. Jack examined the book thoroughly from the front to back cover and the spine. “I saw it.” said Jack.
“What did you saw? You’re scaring me.” Replied Luna.
“There’s something inside the book spine. Something is hidden inside. Let me try and shake the book.” Jack was shaking the book as hard as he could then suddenly something flew from the book spine. There, lying on the ground was a gold key and a golden quill. “A key? A quill?” whispered Jack.
“Let’s try opening it.” Said Luna. Jack took the golden key and insert it into the keypad lock. As soon as the book was opened the book produced a buzzing sound and a bright golden light came out from the book. The light was blinding them both for a moment. Once their eyes adjusted to the light, Luna grabbed Jack’s arm harshly.
“We gotta go back home now Jack, I don’t think I like the book. Just leave it there and it’s almost dark. This forest is starting to get really creepy.” Luna insisted Jack to come with her.
“No. Wait. I really wanna know what’s this all about. I think the book looks so magical.”
“Jack please be careful!”
“Don’t worry everything’s gonna be alright.” Jack took the book and the quill. He looked for the spot where he could put the book properly and he found a big flat top rock just near to his right. He put the book down.
“Don’t flip the pages!” Luna shouted.
“Luna chill! It’s going to be just fine.” At first, the pages were empty only the lights were out of the book. Just when Jack was about to give up with the book an instruction suddenly appeared on the pages. The instruction said, “The holder of this book shall follow the rules of the contents. There are four divisions inside this book. The Past. The Present. The Future. The Fate. The holder shall play each division to the end. No escape, no hiding and no turning back. You shall enter the world of the past to change its history. Then you shall enter the world of the present to fix what is right. Afterward you shall enter the world of the future to make it true and finally you shall enter the world of the fate to decide the The Past's, The Present's and The Future's, destiny.” As soon as the instruction finished, Jack’s hand holding the quill suddenly moved to the next page. The big title on the header was written in dark ink stating The Past. Then appeared sub titles of the past colored in blue glowing beautifully listing down the page. There were ten titles to choose from and every end of the title there was a check box. The titles were:-

1. King Arthur & His Knights
2. World War II
3. Cinderella
4. Sherlock Holmes: The Sign of the Four
5. Journey to the Center of the Earth
6. Pinnochio
7. Aladdin
8. Titanic
9. The Time Machine
10. Pearl Harbor

Luna and Jack got stared with each other. “Which one should we choose Jack?”
“I’m not sure but our teachers at school always tell us to choose the easiest question first. I think we should choose . . . Cinderella.”
“I agree. We’re very familiar with her story. So I guess it’s a yes.” Jack ticked on the check box at the end of the sub title Cinderella. Instantly, the other sub titles vanished and left the word Cinderella. Only now the word was getting bigger and bigger. A bright blue sparked light was formed and both Luna and Jack were sucked into the book!
