Chapter 2: London, Kidnapping And a New Form

I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Everywhere I looked there was something that reminded me so much of London and yet it also looked so different to the one I live in. I needed help and fast, so I decided to head for the strangely out of placed pillar box I saw earlier.

As I got closer I got the feeling that someone was watching me and just as I was about to knock...a giant mechanical arm shot out of nowhere and grabbed me.

"AAAAHHHHHHH! HELP ME!" I screamed.

A few minutes earlier...

Inside the strangely out of place pillar box, Danger Mouse and Penfold are relaxing after saving a girl pig from Baron Greenback.

"Um chief?"

"Yes Penfold?"

"Why is the Baron going around kidnapping females? I mean that had to of been the Forth one today"

"I'm not entirely sure what the Baron's up to, but it's starting to get on my nerves. Sometimes I think those girls let him kidnap them on purpose".

Just then Cornel K rang.

"Cornel K to Danger Mouse!" he said

"Danger Mouse here sir and don't tell me another girls been kidnapped" he sighed, annoyed that he would have to leave again.

"Not yet DM, but the Baron has been spotted in the area. My guess is it could be any minute..."

"AAAHHHHHH! HELP ME!"

"...Now".

"Hold on, that sounded like it came from outside, Penfold take a look out that window!" DM shouted, heading for the door.

"Cor chief, your right! The Baron's just outside our home and he's got a mouse this time".

DM stopped as he opened the door. Did he hear Penfold right? Did he really say the girl was a mouse?

Back to now...

I felt myself being lifted of the ground and pulled into the air. Please no! I don't want to experience death again! I couldn't stop screaming. I was so scared whoever it is was going to drop me. I looked back at the pillar box to see if anyone heard me and to my surprise I saw someone staring through the window.

Thank god someone heard me. "Please save me!" I shouted at him, but I don't think he heard me as he shut the window and ran away.

"Great now what am I going to do?" I thought aloud.

Suddenly, I felt myself being pulled further up into the air and just when I thought all hope was lost...

"Baron Greenback! You are under arrest for kidnapping one too many girls today!".

I heard a voice shout out. Ahh, so I'm not the only one whoever it is has done this to. Just then, Baron something decided to show his ugly face.

"Your too late Danger Mouse! I've finally found zer girl I vas looking for and zere is notzing you can do to save her!"

A toad...he just had to be a toad. I HATE toads! And who is this Danger Mouse? I was intrigued so I looked down to see him and at the same time he was looking at me too. Only when he looked at me it was like he'd met a girl for the first time in his life.

"Enough of zis! Stiletto bring zat girl up here so we can leave already!".

Then I remembered my situation and was being pulled up even more. I started to cry as I called out to him.

"Don't let him take me! Please!"

He snapped out of his trance and shouted back:

"Don't worry! I promise I'll be right behind him. I will save you!"

And the only thing I could do was cry some more. I didn't know what was going to happen next but I had to trust in him. Just as I was about to go inside some sort of airship I cried out:

"Ok... I trust you. I'll be waiting!" and then everything went black.

"Penfold, get in the car! We've got to stop the Baron before he hurts that girl!"

"Again chief?! Can't we just let him have this one?" he said.

"No Penfold, now hurry!"

DM started the car and went speeding off after the Baron. Inside the Baron's airship, I was freaking out when suddenly the lights went on and I got a clear view of everything...including the crow that was right in front of me.

"Aye Barone, I've-a done what-a you asked, but are you-a sure this is-a the right girl this time?" the crow asked.

"Of course I'm sure Stiletto! Now keep an eye on her and look out for Danger Mouse!" the Baron shouted.

"Si, si Barone".

At this point, I was trying to escape when I realised the crow had tied me up. As if things couldn't get any worse, Baron toad called someone and then I heard it.

"Baron Greenback. I hope you have the right one this time".

It was the voice I heard just as I thought I was going to die.

Flashback

I was going under. Death was slowing approaching me. I heard a voice.

"I will see you on the other side, Danielle".

Then a light enveloped me as the world I knew was gone.

End of flashback

"Don't worry, I have ze girl right here. Stiletto! Bring her here now!"

The crow picked me up threw me over to the Baron. I ended up right next to him, giving the guy on the screen a good view of me. I looked up...the guy on the screen was a rat. I Despise rats the most.

The rat sighed. "Baron Greenback I asked you for a human girl, does this look like a human to you?!". What is he talking about? Of course I look like a human...I AM a human!

"No Baron Ratcliffe sir" he said. "She is a white mouse".

What...did he just say?

"So what are you doing with her then you idiot!"

Just then, the crow spoke up. "Aye Barone's maybe she-a turned into a mouse when-a she arrived"

"Quiet Stiletto!" they both yelled.

I, on the other hand, had fainted. How can I be a mouse?!

Meanwhile back outside...

Danger mouse and Penfold were closing in on the airship.

"Alright Penfold the cars on auto pilot so I want you to stay here"

"Aww chief, but I want to help..." he whined.

"Stay here Penfold" DM ordered. He jumped from the car and came bursting through the door.

"Let the girl go Baron!"

"AAAHHH! Stiletto you fool I told you to look out for him!" the Baron Screamed.

DM desperately looked around for me hoping I hadn't been hurt. He finally found me unconscious next to the Baron's chair and that made him fear the worst.

"What have you done to her?!" DM shouted and headed straight for the Baron.

"I haven't done anyzing to zer girl! She fainted!". But DM wasn't convinced.

A fight broke out between the two. Danger Mouse kicked the Baron, picked me up and jumped out of the airship, landing back in his car.

"Cor chief that didn't take you long this time!" said Penfold, surprised.

"Well Penfold I guess I've had enough for one day. Untie her would you"

"Ere, she's waking up!"

"Don't worry, we'll be home soon".

Back on the airship...

"This is your last chance Greenback! Find the girl or I'll make you wish you had never met me, got it!"

Both Baron's were having an argument over what just happened and Greenback was regretting this new partnership. Stiletto walked over to where me and Danger Mouse had been a minute ago and spotted a piece of paper on the floor.

"Aye Barone's..."

"Shut up Stiletto! I thought we already told you too..."

"But boss I-a found this on-a the floor". Greenback snatched the paper from him and read it aloud.

"It's a boat ticket to Australia, it vas brought by a Miss...uh oh!"

"What's wrong you Idiot?! Who brought it?" said Ratcliffe.

"Zat girl we caught vas ze one after all. She dropped zis ticket and her name is Danielle Lewin".

Baron Ratcliffe's rage boiled over. "What is wrong with you! We will have to come up with another plan now that Danger Mouse is involved. Come back at once!" he yelled and hung up.

As Greenback was heading back to the hideout, Danger Mouse and Penfold had arrived back home in time before I woke up.

"Well that's another days work over, what should we do now Penfold?" DM asked.

"What about the girl? Where did you put her?"

"She was still slightly sleeping so I put her in the guest's room".

In the guest's room

I can't believe I fell asleep...or was it something else, I don't remember. Getting out of the bed I looked around to see I was no longer on an airship, I was in someone's room. I tried to think how this could of happened...instead I remembered what the toad had said.

Flashback

"No Baron Ratcliffe sir. She is a white mouse".

End of flashback

Conveniently, there was a mirror in this room. I was scared to look.

"I really hope it's not true"

As I inched further I stood fully in front of the mirror. What I saw looking back was not the human I used to be. I'll admit I still had some of my human qualities, like my clothes, my blond hair and being able to stand on two legs..., but I now had white fur instead of bare skin and I also had big ears and a tail too. This time instead of fainting...

I screamed.
