The Scottish lady allowed Veruca to leave the classroom. Veruca left the classroom by releasing fire from her mouth, which created a hole in the ceiling. She flew out of the hole by releasing fire from her fingernails to lift herself through the hole. When she came out of the classroom, she found herself in a destroyed town filled with burning buildings and sounds of people screaming. Veruca landed herself onto the cracked road. They're were dying weeds growing out of it. "What happened to my mind? This is a nightmare! I would wake up, but I have to destroy The Mist." Veruca said to herself. Veruca walked along the road, and spotted a strange flea market. The roof was on fire and the words, "House of Illusions" were painted on the front part of the market. The paint was dripping. She heard people screaming in there. Veruca definitely wasn't going in there. Suddenly, Veruca heard a strange old lady's voice in her head saying, "Veruca, you must go in there. It is a gateway to the lair of The Mist." The lady seemed to be referring to the terrifying flea market. Veruca didn't want to go in there, but she was lost. She had no choice but to go in there. Veruca ran towards the flea market. She can feel the heat of the burning roof growing on her skin. When she made it to the doorway, she was sweating severely. The sweat was soaking her clothes so much that she felt like she jumped into a river with her clothes on. Veruca reached her hand out and slowly pulled the door open. The inside of the market was pitch black. She saw a light bulb flicker in the place. The light of the flickering revealed some burning chairs in the market. Veruca slowly walked into the flea market.
Veruca felt the heat of the roof grow hotter on her skin. She was starting to lose energy. Veruca moaned and fell to the floor. The door slammed behind her. It startled Veruca very much. She wasn't the one who closed it. Somebody else was in the market with her. Veruca became extremely frightened. The old lady's voice came back and said, "Ha! I fooled you! You thought that this would bring you to The Mist, but you were wrong!" Veruca was very scared. The heat started to get worse. Veruca needed water very bad. Her throat started to dry out. She can barely talk and scream for help. She can barely stand up. She can hear the old lady laughing menacingly. "H…..h…..help." Veruca said weakly, before she passed out.
When Veruca woke up, she found herself back in her room. She looked around confused. She couldn't remember what happened. She stretched and fled her room. She went downstairs and found her parents sitting at the dining table, with big smiles on their faces. "What happened? Did I fall to sleep and get taken to my room?" Veruca said. "You passed out, after destroying The Mist." Mr. Salt said. Veruca suddenly remembered The Mist. "How did you guys know about The Mist." Veruca asked. "That's not important. What's very important is that you destroyed it." Mrs. Salt replied happily. Veruca was very confused. "I don't remember destroying The Mist." Veruca said. "You don't need to remember. Just know that you defeated it, and that the madness is all over." Mr. Salt replied happily. Veruca was still very confused. Something suspicious was going on. Veruca walked slowly to the table and leaned against it with one arm while she tried to think things through. She felt a pain burst up her arm. She screamed and took it off of the table. She saw burn marks on her arm. She noticed some burn marks on her other arm too. Veruca gasped. She looked at her legs and saw burn marks on them too. Veruca suddenly remembered what happened. She walked into a flea market called the "House of Illusions" and the heat of the burning roof made her pass out. She even remembered the old lady's voice. Veruca didn't know how she ended up back at her house. She definitely doesn't remember destroying The Mist. She heard the Scottish lady's voice in her head saying, "Veruca! Don't listen to them! They are illusions. Snap out of this illusion, or it will be too late!" Veruca suddenly felt angry. "GO AWAY FROM ME! YOU PEOPLE AREN'T MY PARENTS! BY THE TIME I CLOSE AND OPEN MY EYES, YOU TWO WILL BE GONE!" Veruca yelled. She closed her eyes and opened them after that. She found herself in a small room filled with ashes and burning chairs. She saw the Scottish lady standing in front of her, still wearing a wedding dress. "You had an illusion, Veruca. You shouldn't of come in this flea market." the lady said. "Am I still in it?" Veruca asked. "Yes. You must get out before-" The lady didn't get to finish her sentence after she was pulled into the wall by tentacles. One of them grabbed Veruca's arm. She screamed and tried to break free, until all of the tentacles covered her body, making her unable to move. She was in complete darkness. Before Veruca was knocked out by a hard object, she heard Violet's voice in her head saying, "It's almost too late."
