You know, I have a plotline swirling around my head for a while, kind of forming itself. I would write it, but I've found that you're much better writer than I am.
If you want this idea, you can have it:
A girl walks out into her backyard, and sees her cat screeching at a tree.
She walks over but nothing seems odd, except for the fact that she never remembered a tree being there.
When she leans closer, the tree opens wide, and she sees a boy reaching desperately, trying to get out.
She reaches out to help him, but the tree closes back up again.
No one believes her when she explains what happened, so she goes back to the tree every day to try again, but no light comes through the little hole.
Then, one night, in a dream, she sees the same boy, and explains to her that what she saw was a mistake, and that she should forget about it.
Angry, she still tries to get into the tree.
About this time, we learn that her name is Amy.
I the newspaper a few days later, she reads that children have been disappearing, and at each crime scene, a large oak tree seems to have grown overnight.
She realizes that the tree in her backyard is an oak tree, and makes the connection, realizing why she had never noticed the tree before.
Still, no one believes her. She explains the evidence to several parties including her parents, the police, her friends, but they just think she's crazy.
To get her mind off of it, her friends offer to take her on a road trip. She agrees, and expects that long days on the road will distract her.
A few days into the road trip, her friend falls asleep at the wheel and the car crashes.
The driver dies, but her other friend is only slightly injured. She pulls him out and they start walking to the nearest town.
Soon, though, she realized that she is bleeding badly, and she collapses.
She wakes up right where she was, but it is daytime, her friend is gone, and she is perfectly fine.
She goes back the way she came and the car wreckage is gone too.
A car passes by on the freeway and she waves for it to stop. She gets a ride to the nearest town.
When she gets there, she goes to a local restaurant and sees the boy she saw in the tree.
She tries to talk to him. He denies ever seeing her before, but he seems to be caught far off guard.
After a while, he tells her to follow him, and appears to have given in.
They get to his house, and he asks her how she got there, and also says that his name is Anthony.
She doesn't know what he's talking about, and he begins to get angry.
He then explains that she is in an alternate universe called Haret and that the only way to get there is to be summoned.
She asks what he means, and so he elaborates.
He tells her that some children are born in the wrong universe, and both worlds will be destroyed if they remain there, because of the imperfect balance.
If anything falls out of place between the two worlds, then both will fall apart.
So, some kind of divine power calls the children back to the realm in which they belong by replacing them with a tree. It is unknown why that is.
She understands what is happening, and she comes to the conclusion that she was summoned.
He says that that's impossible, seeing that she was nearly an adult, and that it only takes children under the age of 16.
Then the boy's father walks in, apparently having heard the entire conversation.
He tells them that a few people have powers to move between the two worlds, called Jumpers.
She says that she just ended up there by accident, and that she had no special abilities.
He tells her that it is the only plausible explanation, and that she should follow him.
All three of them go to the nearest gas station, and as soon as the cashier sees Anthony's father, he nods and takes them to the back.
Anthony's father indentifies the man as Jonathan, and he is a Jumper.
Jonathan asks why they came, and Anthony's father explains everything that has happened.
Jonathan is very surprised, and offers a test to see if she really is a Jumper.
She says she doesn't care, and she just wants to get home, and they explain that if she is, she can get home quite easily.
Amy finally gives in and takes the test.
It consists of simply one sheet of paper, to be read aloud.
Thinking this was all rubbish, she reads it aloud nonchalantly and suddenly she begins to glow.
Jonathan laughs aloud and becomes excited. He tells her what to say to stop glowing.
Still very excited, he offers to be her mentor and help her master jumping.
She agrees, only because it is the only way back home.
this is all I have so far, but you're an imaginative guy.
