[ WP ] An excerpt from the most cliché young adult novel


 `` You are entering a whole new world, my young friend.'' Monteir said to Lisa as they walked up to the mysterious door in the middle of the woods, the cloudy overcast covering the area with a pale greenish-blue light. Lisa looked up at the wise old man, shivering slightly in her light-grey hoodie and blue jeans. 
 
 `` What kind of new world?'' she asked, unsure of whatever was behind the door would bring to her. 
 
 `` A world unlike your normal, interesting life.'' Monteir replied. `` A world needing a saviour.'' 
 
 `` Do you mean,'' Lisa's bright blue eyes widen, `` me?'' Monteir smiled, his light white hair blowing coldly in the wind. 
 
 `` Yes'' he replied. `` But do n't be afraid. You will have many friends to help you along the way.'' 
 
 `` I've never had any friends before.'' Lisa sadly replied. 
 
 `` I am sure you'll make many.'' Montier kindly said, leaning in with a smile. `` You'll learn just how powerful friends can be, even when you drift apart in this life. But come, we must be going.'' Montier and Lisa walked to the door, Montier turning the knob slowly to open it. 
 
 `` What's on the other side?'' Lisa fearfully asked. 
 
 `` Our future.'' Montier replied. `` Or whatever you can call a world run by tyrannical militant vampires.'' He gesture for her to walk through, which she did. `` Remember.'' the old man said to her on the other side. `` Only you can save this world, only you and no one else, but I'm sure your friends will help you out considerably.'' 
 
 And with those last few words, Montier closed the door on Lisa, perhaps closing the last connection she had to her childhood innocence and the normal life she once lived.
