My story(still untitled)

Nicole was coming home with the same bus that she had to use every day. She thought about the past few hours of boring school and was looking out the window when she saw something like a wave. Once it passed an area everything was changing. She looked around, it was as if the people around her didn't notice what she it at all. It was not long until the wave reached her. She ended up on the ground.She thought "Once a person got the chance to be in an almost empty bus, and it will disappeared." She got up, looked around and was shocked. Everything around her was different, the familiar buildings were gone, and no living creature was near. She looked at her clothes they were not the same either. Boots, pants, vest and the cloth was strange. "What the ...". She heard clatter and then a saddled horse galloped(sp?) past her. Something flashed on her right , there appeared a woman in white clothes. Nicole looked for a place to hide, but it was too late, the woman had already started to talk to her.
- Are you Nicole?
The girl opened her mouth but wasn't sure what to say and decided to stay quiet.
- I am one of the Council. - The woman continued.
- Council? I'm not sure if this has anything to do with me, unless it's the school board, but there is something that makes me suspicious of this statement, and these white clothes make me think that I have finally gotten myself into a madhouse. - Everything was said quickly because of nervousness, confusion and panic that Nicole felt at the moment.
A slight smile appeared on the face of the woman in white.
- The Council - we are a group of people who sort to speak, run the universe, divide worlds, define rules ...
- And why am I granted this great honor of one of you to stand before me? - Nicole asked with irony and mockery in her voice. She could no longer withstand the tension and had to somehow cheer herself.
- It's a great honor indeed, you are not many, for now. But my goal is to explain the situation. Better sit down, it is a long story - The woman waited until Nicole sat down and continued. - Your world was a place that magic could not reach, of course some people found flaws in the barriers and used very little of the overall capacity of the magic. That was until about 50 years ago when creatures under the grip of dark magic invaded this world and turned it into what you see now. We've created a parallel copy of your world where you could continue your development protected by magic. Now even that world is in danger after the dark magic reached even us ...
- Why was this ... wave and why I'm here now, and not where I was a moment ago? - She was getting confused by her own words. - Won't somebody suspect anything if I'm just gone? - The expression on the woman's face indicated that she didn't like to be interrupted. Nicole decided to stand up, if she got the woman angry and had to run it was better to be ready for it.
- As I said, - the woman continued in a calm voice - now, even the world that we had created is in danger, so we performed a ritual, which we call The Grid. This 'wave', as you call it, is to filter out those of you who are able to help in any way. In your world you are replaced by copies. They do not have feelings and mimic yours.
- What exactly are these copies?
- They look like you, but their mental activity is limited to obeying orders and acting like their originals, such as imitation of their feelings.
- And now you want me to help you, but how exactly?
- It is not clear, you will find out in the course of you existence.

At the same time, a few miles away, another girl, named Victoria, was walking around with her boyfriend and his dog. At least until the boy and dog were with her.
- Oh, my God! Where have they gone, what happened? Can't a girl have at least an hour to spend with the boy she likes without him disappearing?
Then the division and the need for assistance was explained to her, too.

But it is not the only one whose story is important.

On another continent, Jesse found herself literally "like a fish out of water".She was just finishing the second mile of her swimming practice when she found herself gesticulating on the ground.
- Oh, where's the damn pool, and what happened to my friends?
And she, as the others, was blessed with the knowledge of magical history.

Their first mission was also their first test. They had to learn to follow the signs along the way, of course The Council watched their every step and were ready to interfere if necessary. The signs will lead them to one and the same place. There they will understand more about their upcoming future.
