I don't know if I did what you asked, but did the best I could. Act I is easy for me since I've already written if. To do a plot for Act II or Act III I will have to make it up without feeling and I'm not sure this will be useful. Also, in this and the next section, it is confusing because at one point you call the 3rd part of Act I "trigger" and then later "crisis". I am basically rewriting what I have already written for my Act I in a truncated form.

Hook

Anna Bell is a teenage girl running away from an alcoholic abusive father. She runs away from home after her father hit her in an abusive tirade. She tries to commit suicide by jumping into a deep abandoned well.

Backstory

In addition to her father’s beating, she has been humiliated at school. Her boyfriend betrayed her by showing a revealing sexually suggestive selfie that she sent to him. Teenage boys taunt her in the hallway and call her a whore. She is also plagued with inner voices which are depicted in gremlin-like creates that pull at her hair.

Trigger

She falls into the well. As she floats down, she relives that as a child she dreamed of being a Princess in a beautiful blue gown. When she lands with a thud feeling searing pain in her hip she is approached by a dark winged creature who is surrounded by light. He tells her his name is Seth, and he tells her that she is in Fantastica, another reality.

Seth tells her that he knows her story. Anna Bell admits that life became too painful and she tried to commit suicide. She feels that she is a nothing. He says he can help her. He has magical powers and can make her rich and famous. He puts a key to a door on a rock, and tells her that she has a choice as to whether she wants to go through the door or not. He leaves the key for her and lets her contemplate her decision.

She goes to the rock, and sees a beautiful shimmering blue dress hanging in midair. She puts on the dress, and magically the pain in her hip disappears. She see lights coming from the door, the sounds of music, conversation and laughter of a party. She decides to enter the doorway.
