Lyla was laying in the grass, staring at the clouds, the gentle wind blew lightly,

"Why that one looks like a teapot, Oh! And that one looks like a book! Hm... And that one-"

"Squeak!"

"Ah yes Rosie, that one does look like a torch!"

She lifts her pet rabbit from the grass beside her to rest her on her stomach.

"Its quite delightful really-- just how different clouds can be and yet-- she closes her eyes -- they're all the same.", She says as she pets Rosie,

She opens her eyes again.

"Well, what do you say we have a look around, laying here is getting quite boring..."

"Squeak!" Rosie says in agreement.

Lyla stands up and lifts Rosie up beside her waist with her hand curled around her as if she was holding a book.

"We're going on an adventure, oh how we're going on an adventure! We'll go to see, the fish in the stream, swimming ever so delightfully! We'll see the frogs leap into the bog, where color is all we see! We, are going on an adventure!"

A While Later...

*****

After some time of adventuring, Lyla stopped,

"Oh look Rosie! There's a pond!-- Oh! And look at those beautiful fish!"

"Squeak!" Lyla replied,

Lyla gently placed Rosie on the ground and kneeled down to take a closer look at the fish.

"Oh my! Those fish look very peculiar indeed!" She says as she looks at the fish with hypnotising colours.

Suddenly Lyla began to get mesmerised by the fish, she wobbled and felt very dizzy,

"Squeak!" Rosie said as she looked up at Lyla concerned,

She struggled to her feet and wobbled more and more and more,

"Oh my... I don't feel so we-"

Lyla's sentence was ended abruptly as she fell back into the pond.

"Ahhh!" Lyla screamed, but her words were muffled as she sank in the seemingly endless pond,

Her vision went blury and she felt herself sink into the darkness more and more and more, And then...

Black.

Everything went dark, Lyla felt herself... floating... downwards?

Her hands were held above her by the water,

She went deeper, and deeper, and deeper, into the darkness until...

"Ahhh!" Lyla screamed as she fell through the water and onto soft grass, the impact caused her to cough up any water she had inside her throat,

She felt herself sink into the darkness once more,

Until finally,

"Hey!"

She could bearly hear the murmured voice,

"You!"

Her ears were ringing,

"I ain't never seen you 'round her before..."

Her eyes began to open

"Hey you! Wake up!"

Her eyes finally opened and she began to hear the voice clearly now as her ears stopped ringing.

"What are you doin' round here?"

Her eyes adjusted and slowly moved down from a tree she was looking at,

Her eyes suddenly shot open as she focused on the thing in front of her,

"Oh my! It's a talking vulture!" She exclaimed suprised.
