Mrs. Gatsby

Chapter Two

Emily awoke in the backyard of a mansion. Everyone was dancing and it was appearing that they were having a great time. Emily looked around at the old fashioned clothes and then looked down at her own http://www.polyvore.com/1920s/set?id=86391920.

“Oh my God.” Emily said aloud. In her head she thought, “ I’m in The Great Gatsby.”  She began to walk around and search for anyone who might be familiar in the story she read. Her eyes suddenly fell upon a man with a piece of cream colored paper in his hand.  He appeared to be asking people questions. Emily walked up to the man.

“Hello,” she said. “I’m Emily Blake.”

“Oh hello!” the man answered. “Nick Carraway.”

“Pleasure. Now could you please tell me where I am.” Emily said.

Nick chuckled. “Why, you’re at Mr. Gatsby party! Say, did you happen to get an invitation?”

Emily looked around in her bag and pulled out a paper identical to Nick’s. How did this get here?  She thought.

“Well it seems I’m no longer the only one!” he said. “Come, let us find this Mr. Gatsby together!” Nick grabbed her wrist and began to pull her in the crowd only stopping to ask the partygoers if they had seen the mysterious Mr. Gatsby.

Jay scanned the crowd hoping to see the familiar blonde hair of Daisy Buchanan. After a thorough scanning of the crowd his eyes fell on Jordan Baker. The golf player. He had seen her many years before, before the war. Before him and Daisy fell apart. He called to her.

“Come,” he said. “Let us talk in my office.”

“Well, I give up. Would you like a drink?” asked Nick.

“Sure.” Emily smiled at him.  He nodded and went to the nearest waiter with drinks. A couple minutes passed and Nick came back, but he had brought the waiter with him. Emily smiled at him and took a drink. She took a sip then extended her hand to the waiter.

“I’m Emily Blake.” She said.

“Pleasure.” He said. He grabbed her hand and kissed the top. Emily let her hand fall back to her side. “I’m Jay Gatsby.”

Emily sucked in a breath and dropped her glass. She watched Gatsby as his expressions changed from puzzled to terror as she fell back and everything went black.

Jay watched as the girl, Emily, fell back. He was too late to catch her. All he could do was watch as her head hit the floor. He quickly scooped her up and headed towards his bedroom. Jay laid her down on his bed and watched her chest rise and fall. He soon called a maid and had her change the girl to a button down shirt of his.

Jay paced the hall until the maid came out and nodded to him. He went back into the room and saw the girl in his shirt. He smiled and covered her up in the sheet. He walked to the door and closed it behind him. It was time to get back to the party. To get back to searching for Daisy.
