Trapped in Fairy Tails

Chapter 1

No one's home

It has started out as a normal day in Gotham; Dick had just skateboarded past an unsuspecting pigeon. He loved the feel of the fresh clean air on his face. Better yet to day was his last day till the end of spring break on week of freedom! As Dick sped toward the gate of Wayne Manor he saw a figure standing outside of it. More like pounding on it actually.

Barbara slammed her fist against the iron bars of the gate in frustration. Had she not called Alfred over an hour ago telling him that she would be coming over? She thought he would at least unlock the gate for her. From behind her Dick rolled smoothly over to one side of her.

"And what brings you here? College last iron gates to beat on?" Dick asked sarcastically.

"No, they have a surplus there. I came over because of spring break thought I'd get a little bad-guy-bashing in while I had the time."

"Nice." Dick picked up the skateboard and walked over to a key pad on one of the columns that held the gate up. He pressed his thumb on to a reader and the gate opened. "I would have thought Alfred would have given you the day code for the gate. You did call a head right?"

Barbara nodded. "When I called all I got was an answering machine. When did you guys up date the system?"

"About a month ago," Dick started to walk towards the house, Barbara fallowed. "Some Drunk hit the gate head on and totaled it. Alfred was lived."

"About a busted gate? That doesn't sound like him at all."

"No about the tulips the drunk also managed to meme." Dick said smiling.

Barbara laughed at the visual of Alfred yelling at a drunk about plants. Dick took out a key when they got to the door. He unlooked and opened the door with one swift motion. The giant door creaked open. That was one thing Barbara didn't like about the manor. Everything seemed old and creepy; she had to hand it to Dick for always remaining so bright and cheery when living in a place like this.

"I'm home!" Dick yelled. His voice echoing through the place, Barbara had to suppress a shiver. She had an even harder time when no one answered. "Huh that's strange." Dick remarked after a moment. ""Dad' was supposed to be out of work early." Dick looked a little depressed that Bruce wasn't home yet.

"Maybe he's in the Library. You can't hear the rest of the house in there." Barbara suggested.

Dick brightened up at once. "Yeah you're probably right." He gave her a smiled and started to lead the way to the Library.

The Library in Wayne manor took up two floors and held over 100,000 books. It was Barbara's secret wish that one day she could boast she had read ever book so far she had gone through 5% of it. Dick looked a little crest fallen when it turned out no one was in the Library.

Dick shrugged. "Maybe he had to stay late. Let's go see were Alfred is."

The two ended up searching the entire house but found no one. They ended up back at the Library shaking their heads. What was strange though was the cup of hot tea sitting at one the side tables in the Library. On the chair the sat besides the Table was a book. Barbara picked it up. It was an old copy of well known fairy tales.

"Hey Dick come look at this."

"That?"

"This tea is still hot and I found this Book on the chair. Weird huh, I don't remember either being her e before."

Dick looked at the book. "I've never seen this book before. Wonder how it got here."

Barbara shrugged. "Don't know but why not we read some of the stories in here. You know to pass the time till at least Alfred shows up."

"I'm not a Baby Babs, I really rather not her so silly old fairy tales."

Barbara raised an eye brow. "Is that why or are you afraid they'll give you bad dreams?"

Dick crossed his arms. "I'm not afraid of some stupid stories."

"Prove it."

"Fine start reading."

Barbara opened the book and suddenly the clear day outside grew over cast and the windows of the room shattered. Dick looked side to side before they were both sucked into the book.

Ok I know I really shouldn't start yet another story but I couldn't help it this plot just begged to be told. Please be nice and comment.
