23 chapter

Amanda was walking in a large forest, between the branches of the trees the sun's rays created a pleasant, pale dark shade, the colors of the leaves, red brown, orange yellow and green, recalled the harmony and peace of autumn.

The forest smelled of ferns, mushrooms, water, earth and a damp breeze, he thought summer has passed so quickly why am I here?

Suddenly he saw a huge white rabbit that said "Amanda, it's late !!! Come on, come with me!" , Ommiodio the rabbit had Billy's face, what was happening? She was confused, came to a pond and mirrored herself, like cabbage she was dressed, "miaoooo, a big cat looked at her from a tree," hello Amanda, how are you? "When Mrs. Marston had become a cat?" Well thank you and her ? "he said kindly," my dear, I am very fond of you, please follow the rabbit, he will take you home ", Amanda was now really doubtful, at home? So now where was he? Uncertain he went on following Billy, hem ... that is, the rabbit, they entered a clearing and curiously a strange creature was perched on a rock, completely wrapped in a cloud of smoke, Dr. Smith? "Lord is she? "Shhhhhhhh Amanda my dear, you shouldn't be here shhhhhhhh, come back, don't listen to the rabbit", but she didn't trust, so she ran away, she would never trust a caterpillar Smith, never, ever, many problems she had had Lee had been caused by him.

Lee, where are you, honey? Who knows if he would see him again, resignedly he followed the rabbit again, hoping that he would lead her on the way back, they met two strange types, they talked and moved in perfect synchrony and they perfectly resembled Fred and Geremy, "beautiful lady, go ahead, not turn back, trust us beautiful lady, always run forward and you will come home "," thank you I will, I trust you guys, I don't know why but I will listen to you ".

The rabbit, that is to say the Billy rabbit, was impatient, "run Amanda, it's late and you have to go back !!", They crossed a very narrow wooden bridge, a curious figure approached them, the rabbit Billy said, "Hi Bill the lizard, what brings you here? Can't you see that I'm very busy accompanying Amanda home? "," Hello rabbit, like all of you, I thought you needed my services and my knowledge, "good morning my beautiful lady"

"Oh! Mr. Lizard, you know that you look very much like a friend of mine called Leatherneck? He also knows how to do everything and helps everyone", "my dear lady, I don't doubt it, but there is only one of Bill lizard and that is I !!" , But if you don't need me, I have other things to do, goodbye my beautiful lady "and making her a bow, she quickly left.

While trying to figure out where to go, they were surrounded by some strange creatures that blocked their passage with weapons, a small blonde woman came screaming, "cut off her head !!" , Here we were missing Francine! , Ommiodio was just like her !.

Amanda said and no! now stop ! Where she had fallen into poverty, she bravely gave the blonde a push and ran towards a path, followed by the rabbit, she ran fast, without looking where she went, stumbled and suddenly found herself in the strong arms of a man, looked at him frightened, she had in he tests a big hat, a mocking smile and deep green eyes, kissed her with passion, Oh Lee you are, my love you finally found me, my love ...

The scarecrow arrived at the hospital and quickly headed for Amanda's room, after having presented his credentials to the guard, he slowly entered, she was in a bed at the back of the room, a monitor signaled the variations of his signs vital, various tubes came and went from his body and was very pale, he approached sadly and looked at her, the

he took his hand it was so cold, he hoped he heard his voice, "honey, I'm here with you, please don't leave me, honey, please."

Lee had already decided, he would stay with her until she woke up, "Amanda, darling, listen to me please you have to wake up, tomorrow your mother will come here Jamie and Philip, you are strong you have always fought for them, you have grown them very well by yourself, not you never gave up, don't do it now! I know that at first I didn't want you, I hindered you, in every way

I did everything to get away from me, I was so afraid of the feelings that I started feeling for you, I was afraid of suffering again and now that I understood that I love you, please don't leave me alone, come back to me and your family, he gave her a light kiss on the lips and stroked her hair, she seemed so helpless, she who instead had always been brave and strong, now seemed fragile and petite, exhausted she laid her head close to his lap trying to rest, continuing to talk to her in a whisper.

After a few minutes, a nurse came in, "Mr. Stetson, please, should go out for a moment, I have to check out Mrs. King," he smiled at Lee, seeing him so sad, but he didn't smile back, he didn't feel like it right now, he just wanted her to Amanda woke up as soon as possible, her smile would have reserved for her.
