Chapter 2

Adaline woke up to find herself in a forest there was not much light but the leaves in the trees made it green.She discovered a gash on her left cheek,she touched it "ow!"it started to sting.In her other hand was a locket in the shape of a heart and a golden key on the ground.Adaline heard a rustle in a nearby bush and got up."h..he..hello?"she slipped out her mouth.The noise stopped and a figure came out in to the clearing."ahhhhh!!!hello!I've been waiting for you and finally you came!oh jolly jolly!"It said in a enthusiastic voice.It stepped into the light and Adaline stepped back when she saw that the voice was coming from what seemed to be a toddler sized bunny on its hind legs."ummmmmm.....youve...been waiting for me?Who are you?where am i?how did you..?"he interrupted"oh questions,questions,questions!!Ill explain everything when we get home.Now come along. lets get to it then."

"umm I'm sorry but i cant go home with strangers like you.Just tell me which way is Douglas ave. and ill be getting back home."

"Home?!!"it chuckled"Not to burst your bubble but you have no choice but to come with me!I'm the only one that can help you now!"

"But...I...just please sir tell me how to get home!"Adaline begged"Just come with me i promise i will explain everything.Odiously seeing me you would know your not close to home at all!"there was a deadly silence .A distant trumpet sounded."Ohhhh come come now we must hurry home fast!"He took his lamp and blow on the candle it immediately lit up."well ok as long as you get me home fast!"she said"I promise on my grandfathers tomb!"It looked sternly into her eyes.They walked through the forest in silence all that could be heard was the clink clank of the lantern and the little creature mumbling to his self.After what seemed like 5 minutes he stopped dead in his tracks and put one hand in his pocket and took out a silver ring."here put this on."he told Adaline "but why...?"she hesitated as he shushed her."ok"she whispered to him."Now listen to me ...carefully don't say a word or talk to anyone at all don't take of that ring either. got it?"he whispered"OK" got it but this is all so strange!"she said confused.
