      I will never forget that moment, the time when I was banned from school for the way I looked. Brownish, blackish hair, with Midnight Blue eyes, why would they think I’m a witch?

“Where am I?” I whispered.

All I see was forests and the Lake of Imagination, I still wonder how am I going to escape this and how did I manage to imagine this… this place, it’s beautiful, but dangerous. So far from what I seen, was puppets, a talking cat and a dog, killer dolls, a queen that turns into a bat, and all I got is a scythe just to keep me safe. I decided to go to the forest, which I call it Wonderous forest. It was beautiful, remembering the time when I was walking through the woods with my mother looking for fresh berries to pick.

“This place…Brings back memories.” I said to myself.

There were no sign of danger anywhere, it was peaceful, and animals that live among this cruel world were afraid, sad, full of sorrow.

“I wish I can go back in time.” I thought.

“I want to change the bad times into good times, but I guess it has to be this way.”

But the creepiest thing was that the animals’ eyes were watching me; it was like shadows having eyes, spying on me, like a hawk spying on its prey.

“Okay, things starting to get a little creepy.”

But I remember what Dane told me, I created this place, and I’m going to change it too. I almost forgot about that old pocket watch that Old puppet gave me, but I wonder what is for. Is it for a souvenir or helping me defeating the Blood Queen? I don’t know, I check the time, it was 5:30. It was weird, the clock looks like the same watch I got from my great-grandfather. I try to remember so I thought of something, “Could this be his Pocket Watch?” My thoughts were full of questions, and confusion.

“I wonder, how am I going to explain this to Mother and Father and Aras?” I said to myself.

The sky was full of dark clouds, grey, blackish, mixed with the dark purple color, similar to the Gothic color of purple. The trees look half alive and half dead, it like visiting a graveyard, in this part of the Wondrous Forest. I was starting to feel lonely, sad, but I don’t know why, I know I live in a bad past, but why, why is this had to happen to me? I was starting to get scared, so I starting to run, till I see the checkered road.

“Yes, Finally I made it!” I shouted happily.

Yes, I found it, the continuous of my journey.
