                I jolt myself awake after listening to a surprising number of beeps which could come from none other than from my alarm clock. I sit up, cross-leg, on my bed, rub my eyes, and after my eyes were able to adjust, I look around my room. First thing I could notice were the amount of familiar objects lying about in my new room. From my dreading alarm clock, medium-sized flat screen TV, and my laptop to a few of my old clothes, my panda pillow pet (which I can't live without), my school bag (I prayed he would forget that), and other necessities. My new room and Pitch's lair began to look and feel more like home.

I get out of my bed and scrambled around my room trying to find some clothes to wear. Luckily, I put on my white sleeveless shirt with 'Hakuna Matata' printed in the front with a matching white long sleeve underneath (I didn't want to freeze out there), light blue jeans, and white converse. I grab my bag, walk out of my new room, and start making my way out of the lair. But, I forgot a crucial detail. I have no idea how to get out of this place. Even if I had a map, it would take the rest of the school year to get out of the place. I walk around the lair, trying to find an exit, until I bump into someone.

"Watch where you're going," a woman snaps. She turns around to face me and I quickly realize who the woman was. I could never forget that curly, black hair and horrify blue eyes. The only thing this woman was missing was her wrinkles and grey hair (and a broom stick might I add...).

"Oh, I'm sorry, Gothel. Say, where's your broomstick? I can already hear the flying monkeys coming my way," I say.

"Shut your mouth. I don't understand why Pitch wanted a dwarf to be his ally."

"Well, it beats having an old hag around. I guess he wanted someone with a 'younger' complexion to be around."

"Oh, you brat!" She stomps off the other direction, leaving me behind.

"See you around, Gothel. I'll make sure to bring a bucket of water the next time I bump into you."

"I see you've met one of my allies, Luna." I turn just in time to see Pitch coming my way. A smirk was stuck on him. It seems he was watching the show.

"Yes, I have. I'm surprised that it's Mother Gothel. I would've thought you would have someone less... her"

"So you've met her before. Good, it saves me the trouble of introducing you two. But, I suppose I'm going to have to keep an eye on you. You seem feistier than it seems and I rather not have you picking a fight with everyone you meet. You can save that for later."

I groan, "Ugh, fine. You know, for someone who's on 'The Dark Side', you're really starting to sound like my grandpa."

"Well, I don't spend my time around children; you know, when they're awake. So, it's going to take a while to get use to someone less... mature than I am."

I chuckle.

"So, I see that you're heading off already."

"I am, but I'm having trouble getting out of here."

"I see. Well, the entrance will take you too long, so I suppose I'll have to train you to travel through shadows, right now."

"Wait, right now, what if I end up somewhere else like Russia?"

"Don't worry. If you do, then I'll transport you back. Now, all you need to do is think about darkness, for instances, imagine yourself becoming nothing more than a shadow, becoming nothing more than darkness itself."
