"Who's there? What do you want?" I almost screamed in my horror. I mean, what do I know about this strange world. There might be some kind of a monster behind that bush that wants to devour me. I know that I'm a little to old to believe in monsters, but wherever I am right now, I would believe anything.

I shrieked on my shocked when a strange looking creature jumped in front of me. I think it's a bear cub but colour green and has a tiny butterfly wings. Maybe bears in this world are green and has wings. It has a big round blue eyes that looks like a moon inside of a snow globe. I giggled on the fact that I was so scared with this cute little creature. I tried to tame it and I think it gave me the eye.

"It's okay little cub, I won't bite." Then I gave him a little scratch in the ear.

The cub started to tap its tiny back paw.

"Oh, that's the spot," it said on a deep voice as it keeps on taping his tiny cute paw. This strange creature can talk! I almost fainted when the panic-striken me. I tried to move away from it. On my right hand, I felt a stick. So I grabbed it and point it to the creature. My survival skills are kicking in which I hoped would help me in this situation. I know he's cute and all, but what if this thing wants to gobble me up.

"Who are you? What do you want?" Realizing that its the same question I asked previously. Still pointing the stick at him just in case he jumps at me and grab me and eat me.

"Whoa, there crazy lady. You're the one who falls from the sky, not me. Am I not the one who supposed to be asking you that question?" A smirk on his face.

"I'm Dorothy and I ..."

"Dorothy?!" He interrupts. "The great Dorothy that defeated and melted the Wicked Witch of The West? My grandmother used to tell me stories about you. I didn't know that humans don't age, I though you'd be in your 80's or 90's by now," he said with excitement on his voice.

"You're talking about my grandmother. I was named after her. We were so close but she died a month ago." I can feel the sadness going through me as I talk about my grand mother and reminisce our happy moments together when she was still alive and strong.

"I'm sorry for your loss," he said as he sense that I'm not very comfortable talking about my Nana. "To change the subject, why did you fell from the sky?"

"Honestly, I don't know either. I open this book that my Nana gave me and then here I am," I shrugged with my hands lifted up a little on my side to show confusion, still the stick on my right hand. "I think I got sucked in it. Where am I by the way?"

"Your in the Land of Oz."

"Seriously?" The strange creature nods. "Whatever. I need to go back to my world." I tried to stand up. I stepped my left foot first then I put my left hand in my left leg to push myself to help me balance and get up.

"Wait! I can help you go back to your world!" He yelled as I started walking. I stopped on the idea that this thing is going to help me.

"Why should I trust you?" I said without turning around.

"Because if I help you, I think it will benefit me too." I can sense that he is serious by the tone of his voice. This must be the toughest decision I will ever make. But first things first. I need to go home. What if my mom figures out that I'm gone. I can imagine her screaming my name while she's crying. She might have thought I was abducted! Nana's death was enough, me as missing is worst. I don't think she could handle all of her burdens.
