Chapter 4

Since escape for Jess was impossible, as she looked around the board all she could see was some kind of electric barrier preventing her from even attempting to leave. Well I guess I'll have to do this she thought, Come on it has to be possible.

But even as she started to play the toymakers' twisted chess game it wasn't long before she could tell it was clearly rigged in his favour.

"You're not doing all that well are you, he boasted, I see I will very soon have you as part of my collection." That's what he thinks Jess thought. But despite her best efforts it was all for nothing as the Toymaker did as he predicted and triumphed.

" You have tried and failed to best me, the Toymaker shouted and now my fun will begin. "

And with that Jess started to feel her body turning stuff and her mind becoming less able to comprehend things, the Toymaker was changing her into a real life toy ballerina. How on Earth would she get out of this with now, especially with no Doctor anywhere in sight and not likely to be either before it was too late.
