My head... is throbbing it seems like I passed out. "Why am I on the ground" I said.
W-where am I?
I raised my hand to my face... Dirt...there's dirt on my hands?
I happen to have passed out on the dirt floor. I thought I was walking on a brick path? I looked around my environment
Behind me is a spring. The spring's water is supplied by the waterfall near it... I can see a rainbow in the waterfall, created from the mist of when the water hits the spring's water.
Surrounded are bountiful trees ripe with fruits... there are flowers flourishing near the water's bed. Many butterflies spread around. This scene is by far the most beautiful I have seen in my life... I gazed contently at the breath taking sight.
Then I looked around again.
Cole and Ted also lay on the ground next to me.
I tried to shake both Ted and Cole awake.
"Wh-what?" Ted said as he woke up.
"STOP it you! I have dream!!!" Cole shouted, refusing to wake up.
"W-wake UP! You guys!" I shouted.
"Whoa!" Ted said surprised of the beautiful scenery "You are right, it is pretty!" Cole said. "Wait I thought you didn't want to wake up?" I said.
"But...something's off..." Ted said... "Yeah where are we?" I said.
"No... it feels like something is missing..." Ted contemplated... "Wait! Where is Sammy?!" Cole said... "Oh! She isn't here!" I said distraughtly.
Not only did we appear in a strange place, but also Sammy is missing.
"We should check around Sammy mustn't have gone far" Ted said... So we planned to look around the springs.
This place truly is a place none I have seen before. The area seemed to have a purplish like hue, so did the forest near it.
The sound of rushing water from the waterfall soothes most of my worries... Well it didn't seem to work when I remembered I was supposed to look for Sammy.
As I searched around the spring's shore, I found an old cabin, vines were growing on its walls windows and roof.
"Hey guys, look at this..." I said calling for Cole and Ted's attention.
"Maybe Sammy's inside... we should look inside!" Ted said bravely...
"What if something is inside?" I said with hints of terror.
"Exactly!" Ted said with a huge grin on his face.
"Ugh!" Cole grumbled. "Your reckless bravery is so annoying Ted" Cole complained.
"HAHA!" Ted laughed "YOU being unable to keep your mouth shut, is also annoying Cole" Ted said to Cole's face with a big grin.
Despite stern opposition, Ted opened the door to the cabin.
Instead of finding something horrifying, we found an old woman drinking tea...
"Um...Who are you?" Ted said asking the old woman
"Well my children, I am Mrs. Primrose, the caretaker of this Lush Springs" Mrs. Primrose said, introducing herself. "Finally! Some visitors" Mrs. Primrose said with a smile and clapping her hands
Mrs. Primrose then stood up and exited the cabin...
"Tellme, children, where are your parents" Mrs. Primrose said confused, looking around. "Its very dangerous walking around Lush with out parental supervision?" Mrs. Primrose added.
"I ...um they're not here" Ted answered
"What? That's a problem, you must have wandered here from Joy village" Mrs. Primrose said
"A-Actually... M-Ma'am we got here when I opened a book" I said telling Mrs. Primrose.
"A Book!" Mrs. Primrose said... She had a very interesting reaction. She almost showed a face of horror, but still able to smile...
"Well...that is a very, very interesting method of travel children" Mrs. Primrose said, regaining back her prior expression
"We want to find a way to get back home, but we were with a friend before we go there, her name is Sammy, we need to find her before we go home, do you happen to have seen her?" Ted asked politely
"She'smy sister, s-she 'round about looks like me, but with long hair" I added.
"No, I am afraid I have not seen a girl, although I have been in my cabin for the whole of this morning, so she may have wandered into the lush forest" Mrs. Primrose said pointing at a pathway to a forest
"What! Sammy wandered off to the forest, but, but! It's so dark and vast and..." Cole said... I sensed that she's scared...
"No I don't think a child is that brave to wander off the path, so all you have todo is follow the path in the forest" Mrs. Primrose said
"R-Really?" I muttered "Do not worry, the path only leads to a small village leading to the capital, there's no other place that the path may lead." Mrs. Primrose assured.
"Okay then guys! Let's go find Sammy!" Ted said full with glee. "Yeah let's GO!" Cole said.
"Do not be too hasty children, it is dangerous to go in the forest alone" Mrs. Primrose said.
"Are you gonna come with us then?" Ted asked...
"No, I cannot leave my lush springs, but I can have some of my friends accompany you" Mrs. Primrose said "Friends?" Ted said
Mrs. Primrose then clapped her hands, many creatures immediately approached.
Maple tree seeds flying near, a small cute walking potato, and a huge walking beetle... and many other animals like deer, wild boars and birds.
"What are these?" Cole said hiding behind Ted... "They look scary..." I muttered while hiding behind Ted.
"No need to be frightened children, these lovely darlings are my friends they will help you navigate through the forest" Mrs. Primrose said in a very tender voice...
"Now, my friends run along now!" Mrs. Primrose said... "Children before you go, keep in mind to be careful when talking to the town folk when you reach Joy Village... some may be welcoming, some may be more hostile" Mrs. Primrose added
"Well, Bye Ma'am!" Ted said waving goodbye... "Good Bye" I said, "Buh-Bay!" Cole cheered... "Careful now" Mrs. Primrose said bidding farewell
