Into the Realm of Magic

Trouble

Alice POV

I eventually get out of the vine again and get out of the tree. I was making my way down when a branch I stepped on snapped. I fell a couple feet but I managed to grab a sturdy branch with my right hand. I looked down..................never mind, bad idea BAD IDEA! I closed my eyes. Ok, ok think happy thoughts. Then the branch I was holding broke and I was falling. Everything felt like it was in slow motion. With my eyes still closed, I was ready to embrace the pain the ground would give me. Which never came. I landed in something soft and hard?

PLEASE tell me that this man DID NOT just catch me when I fell? What is this? Some cliché movie??????

I opened my eyes to see yes, he HAD caught me and he was smirking about it. Damn him.

"Soooooooooooooooooooooooo. You -uh- gonna you know put me down?"

"I don't know, I rather quite like holding you this close", he said.

"You are one strange mister", I said in reply. I started to wiggle so I could get out of his grasp but that didn't help.

Eventually I was set down (literally like 30 secs later).  We began walking, him leading. Good thing it isn't dark anymore. What the hell is going on with that, I still can't figure it out.

As we were walking, I was observing my surroundings. Everything was so different and unique. It was beautiful. There were leaf like plants that were has tall and as big as a small house, some varied. There were trees in different colors, shades, smells. Even the leaves were of a different color. On tree was various shades of blue while the leaves were different shades of orange. Nothing matched, it was all random but everything fit together perfectly. I was so distracted, I didn't realize that the 'tour guide' had stopped until I had ran into him and fell backwards.

"We should probably came here for the night", he says as he looks around. He picks up his sword and stabs it into the ground.

"Stay by the sword until I return. I will only be gone for a short amount of time. Meanwhile take this bag of seeds and plant them", he says handing me a small tan bag with black string on it.

I looked at him with an are-you-serious-right-now look.

"Don't argue with me. Your still technically my prisoner, do not forget", and with that he walked off.

I rolled my eyes and opened the bag to see what kind of seeds were in the bag. There was just a small amount of seeds in the bag. The seeds were of different color. I took out two red seeds and placed them in the ground. I went back a few feet and placed two orange ones. I kept doing this until the rainbow was completed. I just realized that I am going to need water but even so plants take time to grow. How long do we even have?

I was contemplating when I heard something coming form behind me. I quickly turn around to find a bucket made out of leafs fill with water. Not just a bucket but one of those gardening tools that pour out the water (forgot what it's called). How did THIS even HAPPEN?! I didn't question it and just went along with it. I took it and water my little rainbow seeds. What happened next astonished me. Out quickly came some glowing white vines with the orbs on them the color of the seeds and there were dozens of them. I kept looking at them wondering how in the world had THAT happened?

"Ahh wonderful, you finished. Right on time too", I heard a voice on my right.

I looked to see the guy but with nothing on him or with him.

I was about to question on him until he said, "Let's finish up camp and get some sleep. We have a long days walk tomorrow."

He took the orbs and started placing them in a circle around the camp in some sort of order? I am not entirely sure. When he finished, he gave me some bread and fruit from his bag that just spontaneously came out of nowhere OR I need to pay attention to my surroundings more. Mystery guy start a small camp fire and took out some blankets for us to sleep on. I put my on one side of the fire and he put his on the other side. I stared at the stars in the night sky for a while. It was an amazing view. Soon I grew sleepy and drifted off into a dreamless sleepy.
