Chapter 2:

A Girl of Mind

Tick tock. Tick tock. Stupid clock… thought Jessie as he slowly opened his eyes. He slowly came to, and began to wonder where in the world he was. And then it hit him as hard as a brick wall. He fell down a hole after running through a door in a tree. He laughed and looked around. It was then he realized that he was being watched. Jessie jumped up and fell back down on a chair. Although the woman who had been near him looked nice, Jessie remembered the story Jake told. She wore a mystical blue dress that had hearts, diamonds, clubs and spades all over it. She also wore a crown that was striped yellow and red. She looked like she had gotten dressed blindfolded. She began to slowly walk towards Jessie and he tried to move further away from her.

"Come now. I'm not really that bad looking, am I," the woman asked stopping. "Listen, you are the reason I am here, so if you don't want to help me, then you are always able to leave."

Jessie looked amazed. "Okay then, how do I get out of this place then? Do I click my heels and think that there's no place like home? I don't think so. So just tell me what you want me to do, okay," Jessie said as he slowly got up and moved towards the woman.

"Ah, I thought we got a good one this time," She smiled and curtsied. "The name is the Queen of Wonderland. I am the ruler of this place. You are now in Wonderland. You must help your friends in order to leave this place. However," she lowered her head and turned around. "As you will soon see, that will be harder than you believe…" And with that, she walked away into the shadows. Jessie tried to follow her, but he was instead thrown into the middle of a field. He slowly got up and realized just how much he hated all the drops in this place. He then noticed he was tiny. He thought he was about the size of an ant, maybe a little bigger. But which of his friends would be here? He continued thinking and letting his mind wonder until he heard it. The sound of music, but not just any kind of music. It was Sam's favorite song, so Jessie said it would be their song. That was really easy to find them, Jessie though. And that crazy lady though I wouldn't be able to find them. Now, just to talk to them… He walked out into a clearing and looked around. Just then, two hands covered his eyes, and he heard something that sent his heart racing.

"Guess who," said Sam as she kissed him on the cheek. "I can't believe you're awake. It's so good to know you're alive!" She took her hands off his eyes. He slowly turned around, and just stood and stared at Sam. He wasn't surprised by this twisted world, that Sam was quite a bit taller than before, nor was he surprised that she had filled out a little bit. What shocked him was the fact that she had eight arms. He continued to stare and eventually his mouth dropped open. Sam grabbed a leaf and started to eat it.

"Like my new look? In a day or two, I'll be a beautiful butterfly. But I guess this will have to do, for now," Sam said with a sly gleam in her eye.

"How did this happen to you? I mean, what happened to you? And where's everyone else," said Jessie as he slowly backed away.

"What happened? What HAPPENED? You went off and fell down the hole. You were the one who was unconscious. IT WAS YOU WHO MADE ME LOOK LIKE THIS," she screamed as him as a cloud of black smoke rolled into the clearing. And this smoke wasn't your basic every day smoke. The smoke started to raise more as Sam yelled at Jessie. After a while, it was so thick, Jessie could hardly breathe.

"What's the matter honey? Can't breathe? Maybe now you'll respect me You SON OF A BITCH! I HAD EVERYTHING! BEAUTY, BRAINS, AND EVEN A GREAT PEROSNALITY! But now, I'll make you pay. It was because of you we got stuck here," Sam said with an evil look in her eyes. Jessie started to gag more and more until he passed out once again. His head filled with that weird smoke and images of Sam and that dam Queen floating around in his head. Maybe he did deserve to die. Maybe it was his time. But then he saw something he didn't think was possible. He found a door in his mind, so he opened it, and walked through. Where he was after that was a mystery to him. However, from the looks of it, he was inside Sam's head. And that's when he saw her. The Sam he knew and loved. The one whom he new he had to set free. But how, was the real question. He ran over to her, and had untied her when the real culprit of his near death arrived. He was a multicolored fiendish caterpillar, with dripping mouth parts and that same evil smile.

"Ah, so you found out how to get into here, huh? Well, I guess I'll have to kill you with my true bare hands," said the caterpillar. And with that, as if out of no where, a giant hand slammed down on the caterpillar.

"That's what you get for trying to hurt my Jessie! If you ever hurt a hair on his head again, I swear I'll kill you," said the mental version of Sam. She looked at Jessie. "Jessie, how did you get in here? Wait, never mind that right now. It's time for you to wake up now…"

And with that, Jessie woke up in the same clearing, only normal sized and in the arms of his dear Sam. Jessie smiled and kissed her and said with a smirk, "I liked you better the other way." She then stood up, causing him to hit the ground.

"You're an ass, you know that? Maybe I should have let that freak kill you," Sam said as she stormed off.

"Sam, wait. I still want to know what happened. Where are the others? Where did they go," Jessie asked as he caught up to Sam. They both sat down and Sam started to tell him the whole story.

"When we found you," Sam said as she sat him and herself down, "you weren't moving. We waited what seemed like hours, then Jake got the crazy idea that we should search for you. Well, when we got to this field, I kind of hurt myself. So I stayed behind and told the others to go on without me. After a while however, I fell asleep. And when I woke up, I wasn't me. I was filled with rage and, and….. I let the caterpillar take over. I don't know what happened to the others, but I think I can find them," she said as she got up.

"No, we'll find them Sam," replied Jessie as he grabbed her hand and ran off towards a forest in the west. Jessie's mind was still racing. Where were they? How were they supposed to leave? And what other creatures took over his friends? Jessie was sure that Sam and he would find the answers to those questions and many more. 
