Leo sighed as the world moved past him, the sky looking greyer than usual. Alice looked at him as she drove. "C'mon Leo! Cheer up! Aunt Hildegard is fun!" She said. Leo rolled his eyes. "Yeah sure...'Fun'" He said sarcastically. Leo's aunt Hildegard was...something to say the least. Everytime Leo had visited her, she had been smoking and watching telanovelas. And she usually took Leo to the most boring places on earth, like the worlds largest tax refund. Alice gave Leo a concerned look "I know you'd rather be at home with Mason, but me and. Harold agreed go and see if His new code would work, and she's the only one in the area." She said. Leo ignored her, staring back at the gloomy world outside.
Alice's car then pulled up to a small apartment complex, and the two of them grabbed Leo's luggage before climbing up 17 flights of stairs (since the elevator was broken.) "Here we are! Apartment 328!" Alice said as she knocked on the door. An older woman with a wrinkled face and a bathrobe opened the door. "Hey Alice." Hildegard said, her multiple cigarettes falling out of her mouth and smelling up the hallway. "Hey Hildy, you remember Leo right?" She asked, stepping aside so that Leo was in view. Older woman smiled, showing her brownish teeth "Hiya sport!" She said, but Leo only glared at her with a look that said. "Don't talk to me, I'm sulking."
Alice apologized for his behavior "You'll have to excuse Leo, he's a bit upset right now." She said. Hildegard waved her off "Oh don't worry, he's a teen, he'll get over it." She said. Alice checked her watch "Oh would you look at the time! I gotta go!" She said "Be good to Hildegard Leo! And try not to get into any trouble!" She said, running towards the stairs "Bye Leo! I'll call you soon!" She said, before sprinting down the stairs."
C'mon champ, let's get settled in." Hildegard said. Leo stood outside, before he walked into the smoke filled apartment, a telanovela playing in the background. "Your room is the one next to mine, go on and unpack, then we can go see the worlds largest Tax return." She said. Leo rolled his eyes, but picked up his suitcases and walked to the spare room. He lied on the bed, that felt more like a brick. "Stupid Aunt Hildegard, Stupid Code. STUPID SUMMER!!" Leo yelled, slamming his head into the pillow. He sighed and looked up at the ceiling "Maybe I can run off and change my name to Larry..." He pondered out loud.
The bed suddenly began to feel strange, as if Leo was sinking into it. "It probably just is adjusting to me" He said, but he kept sinking deeper and deeper into the bed! "AAAH! AUNT HILDEGARD!!" He yelled before the bed consumed him. Hildegard then walked into the empty room and rolled her eyes "Ugh...Teens." she said, closing the door.
Leo felt himself Falling down for a long time, his screams becoming nothing more than an echo of his emotions. Suddenly, he crashed into what felt to be...grass? His eyes peeked open and he saw that he was in a clean looking forest. Colorful flowers and twisting trees met his vision "What the heck happened?" He asked as he sat up. He looked around, but didn't see anything beyond trees. "Hmm...Maybe I can find a phone and call mom." He thought put loud, moving forwards. However, the more he walked, the more it sounded like he was getting closer to...something. he walked closer to the source of the sounds, and saw a big camp in the distance. He couldn't see much, but he saw two words that he could read clearly
"Camp WonderDream?"
