A few weeks past after Dora and Boots have wandered into the secret forest. Well, since Boots wandered in there. Dora went in there a few times, but "something" always stopped her from going any further than a few yards.
This time she decided to take Boots along with her. She came up to his tree house and called for him. "I don't think we should go back in there Dora," Boots said. Dora rolled her eyes.
"Boots," she said, "I need you to come with me." He looked out the window and peered down at her. He had a terrified look on his face. Thoughts kept swirling around in his head. "Please come down Boots," Dora said.
"But Dora," Boots said, "there's something or someone following us when we go in there." Dora knew this as well as Boots, but she was an explorer by heart. She would never give it up, even when she was an adult.
"Alright I'll go alone," Dora said. Boots had a bad feeling has Dora walked away into the passageway. "I'm going in," she said backing into the leaves. Dora was almost all the way through. As she disappeared, Boots ran into the passageway.
"I'll go with you," Boots aid, "but only because I don't want you getting lost." Dora rolled her eyes, trying to forget the times she had gotten lost. She always seemed to ignore her mistakes when it came to exploring.
"Don't worry Boots," Dora said. The darkness of the forest started to make boots shake a little. He had no idea how Dora could be so brave.
"You're not the one having a feeling something or someone is following us," Boots pointed out. Dora just ignored him and kept on walking. Soon, she started to have the feeling too. She felt a non-human being presence. Dora decided to turn around, which was a mistake.
A figure that was ghostly black screamed and came running after them. "Oh my goodness!" Dora yelled. Boots started to run, not wanting to discover what Dora just did. They ran all the way to the meadow. They saw the ghost run away from the sun.
"It must be scared of sunlight," Dora said. They both had a good laugh. Then suddenly, a little girl came running up the hill. Dora and Boots waved for her to come to them. But, all she did was staring at them. Not with happiness or sadness, without any expression on her face.
"Are you ok?" Dora asked. The girl shook her head, escaping her trance. She ran straight towards them with a smile.
"Hello," she greeted, "my name is Madison."
"My name is Dora and this is Boots," Dora said. Madison waved at Boots. He waved back. "What are you doing here?" Dora asked.
"This is my home," Madison replied, "I haven't seen another human being in twenty years." Dora stared wide eyed at the girl. "Well," she said, "I'm actually stuck in little girl's body." Dora and Boots gave her a confused look. "I am actually twenty-four," Madison said.
"That is the weirdest that I have ever heard in my life," Boots said. Dora hushed Boots and smiled at Madison.
"How did you get stuck in a little girl's body?" Dora asked.
"You see that lake over," Madison replied, "I jumped in it when I was four years old and I'm stuck as a four year old now." Dora walked to the lake and glanced over it carefully. She only saw a normal lake. "It may look normal," Madison said, "but it's not."
"Did this girl bump her head against a tree?" Boots asked whispering.
"Boots!" Dora yelled. Madison looked at them with a confused look. She suddenly shook her head and smiled. "Sorry," Dora apologized, "my friend is sort of losing his mind." Madison gave out a little giggle. Boots crossed his arms and rolled his eyes.
"Where do you two come from?" Madison asked. Dora opened her mouth to reply, but Boots gave her a look to make her stop.
"Sorry," Dora replied, "we don't know you well enough to trust you to know where we come from." Madison just rolled her eyes. Suddenly, she jumped up and grabbed Dora by the hand. She led Dora and Boots to a bunch of huge trees.
"This is my home," she said. The trees gleamed with lights. People walked everywhere on the bridges that connected the trees. Dora almost fainted at the site of it all. Boots was stuck in a trance looking at the trees.
"Come on," Madison exclaimed. She started to climb a ladder to the top of one of the trees. Dora shrugged and climbed after her.
"Boots," Dora called, "come on." Boots shook his head and started to climb the ladder as well.
"What is this?" Boots asked.
"This is the home of the tree guardians," Madison said. Dora could see bows and arrows, swords, and many other weapons. She also saw lanterns that let up the entire place. She couldn't believe what she was getting herself into.
"So," Dora asked, "you're a tree guardian?" Madison nodded her head, smiling.
"Yep," she squeaked. Dora had noticed it before, but Madison had a bag of arrows on her back and the bow she was carrying. The arrows were sharp and looked like they could kill anything. As a matter of fact, they could kill anything or anyone.
"I see your liking this place," Madison said. Dora gave her smile that said "yes". Boots was fascinated by the many weapons and lights. The lights on the trees made him think of a Christmas tree.
Dora looked at the sky and it was getting late. She knew her mom would kill her when she got home. But, she didn't care. She was ready to go on a new adventure.
