Vera looked up at the man. they questioned for a moment whether he was trustworthy or not, then proceeded to say; "We're not exactly sure how we got here but all I remember was running in the forest with everyone and then we fell into a rabbit hole. We were in some castle and that monster started to chase us; then we came down the rabbit hole that led us here." "And the hole we came through from California to here closed after we came through it." Hailey added.  Eight looked shaken "d-did you say C-California?" Eight stuttered "Uh, yeah?" Dylan said, with concern in his voice. "Are you ok Mr. Eight?" James asked. "Yes, I'm fine," Eight said looking anything but fine sweat shining on his pale olive skin. "Are you sure?" Steffany asked. "I SAID I'M FINE!" Eight yelled. They all jumped a little. "Please calm down." the fifteen-year-old girl asked of him, ringing her peachy hands together. "I-I'm sorry, I-I just- Nevermind."  He muttered. 

"What was the thing up there?" Hailey asked pointing up towards the sky, desperate to change the subject. "Nobody knows, most of us fell through a rabbit hole too so all the remaining people here just decided to make a village down here." Eight replied, rather quickly as he was too trying to change the subject.  "Can we see the village!?" James asked with his sky-blue eyes wide with excitement in his tone. "Sure, you can it's just this way." Eight replied as he walked farther into the hole. 

The village was just as beautiful as the entrance, with flowering vines, and glowing orbs that floated in the air around the group. They shine colors of light pinks, greens, yellows, and whites. Steffany giggled as she played with one of the orbs, her straight blonde hair waving with the soft breeze. 

 A beautiful woman with short, wavy caramel hair and pale skin with stunning emerald green eyes greeted them with a warm smile, her flower dress brushed the ground as she walked. She look about in her early thirties probably a little younger than Eight. "Welcome to our village," she said happily. "I see you made some friends," she said to Eight. "Hello, miss I'm Dylan," Dylan said as he fixed his dark brown hair. "And I'm Hailey," Hailey said to the women. "I'm Vera and this is James," Vera said as they pointed to James, their olive skin glistening in the dim light. "Well hello to you all I'm Bailey!" She said gleefully her voice had some nostalgia to it, but Vera couldn't figure out why. Bailey smiled at them. she seemed so familiar, but Vera didn't know how or why.
