I couldn't figure out what had happened to me. My head was spinning and my whole body ached. I heard footsteps coming this way. A small cake appeared in my vision. It said in a squeaky voice, “This way madam. The master torture cake is waiting for you.” It sounded so calm it was almost ridiculous. I shrank back.

It opened the door and bowed. I shook my head rapidly. I didn’t know what was happening, but I knew I didn’t trust that little fellow. Wait. What was I even doing here?

The cake said, “Madam. Please come peacefully. The torture master is waiting.”

I continued shaking my head. Finally, the cake looked annoyed.

She came in and wagged a little finger at me. “Naughty little kids must be punished. And I am the schoolteacher.”

With that, she sprayed frosty icing on me and dragged me outside with considerable strength. So much for saying ‘please’ and ‘madam’. Evil little devils. Devils...hm...that sounded a bell in my ears, but I couldn’t quite fathom what.

I was dragged to an angry looking giant cake who was tapping a HUGE candle like a stick on its palms. I swallowed. Uh oh.

Sorry this chapter is so short, but we wanted it to be cut to Arietty so you could see how she's doing. Apparently not that great...
