Bree's POV


Alex was no longer in her bedroom. She was falling into a world of light. 

She fell farther and farther, faster and faster. She was dizzy and scared.She screamed out for help but couldn't hear her own voice. Would she everstop falling? Was she going to die? Was she dead? She wondered if shewould ever see her family again. 

She could hear birds chirping and trees blowing in the wind. The noiseseemed to get closer and closer, but she just kept falling and falling, notknowing where she was falling to.... 

"Ouch!" Alex said, hitting the ground. Her impact was hard enough tohurt but not hard enough to seriously injure her. Had it not been for the roughlanding, she would have thought she was dreaming for sure.

 Alex quickly got to her feet. She felt her pulse to make sure her heart wasstill working; she was still alive, from what she could tell. She was sothankful to have finally stopped falling... but where exactly had she fallento? 

She was standing on a dirt path in the middle of a thick forest. The treeswere tall and dark with bright green moss covering their trunks. The sun'srays shined through a light mist. Birds squawked from high in the trees and,if she listened closely enough, she could hear a tiny stream in the distance. 

Alex spun around, looking in all directions. Her breathing increased as shetook in her new surroundings. Was she overreacting or not reacting enough towhat had just happened? And what exactly had just happened? 

She looked up to see if there was an opening she had fallen through,hoping to see some sort of window into her bedroom, but all she saw weretree branches and the sky above her. 

"Where am I?" she asked herself.

 "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" As if he had fallen right out of thinair, Conner landed hard on the ground beside his sister. He was pale andscreaming, and his limbs were stretched out in all directions. "Am I alive?Am I dying? Am I dead?" he asked from the ground with his eyes tightlyclosed. 

''Wow, you overreact'' I said

''You talk like you didn't when you found out '', Connor said teasing me

''Well, I didn't'', I said

"You're alive!" Alex told him. She had never been so happy to see him. 

"Alex, is that you?" Conner asked. He slowly opened his eyes one at atime and looked around. "Where are we?" he asked as she helped him to hisfeet. 

"It looks like some kind of... forest," she said.It was unlike any forest they had ever seen—in real life, at least. Thecolors were so vivid and the air was so crisp. It was as if they had fallen intoa painting, a painting Alex was positive she had seen before. 

"Look," Conner said, pointing at the ground. "All of our pencils!" 

The path was littered with the pencils Alex had been dropping into thebook all week. She also found her school bag and a few of her dirty socks inthe middle of the mess. But where were all the books she had dropped intoThe Land of Stories? 

"So this is where they all went!" Alex said.

 "But where is here?" Conner asked. "How far away from home are we?" 

Alex couldn't answer him. She was starting to become just as worried ashe was. They were worse than lost. 

"This is all your fault, Alex!" he said.
