Chapter 3: Where she went

Tohru stood up and dusted off her cloths with her spare hand. She looked at the fruit in her other hand with disgust.

"So you couldn't outsmart me eh?" Then she realized that she was talking to an apple and frowned.

"Whatever" Tohru moved to go back to her desk when suddenly everything went black. The temperature dropped like ten degrees , and a crazy wind started to blow. Tohru could hear things spinning around her and a high pitched buzzing pierced her ears.

"STOP IT! SHUT UP LEAVE ME ALONE!" She screamed in fear and clutched her head in order to block out the noise. Tears streamed down her face and the wind continued to whip her around in the dark. This went on for what seemed like hours.

Then it all stopped. Everything was silent and warm again.

Tohru sniffled and sobbed into her hands. "What was that? Why?" She looked up and around and found that she was still enclosed in darkness. Tohru hugged her knees tightly for comfort.

"What the hell is this!" she screamed again, and a light turned on above her.

She whipped her head up to see the source of light. It was one of those old bulbs that hang from a persons basement ceiling. It swung slowly back and forth in the closet, for that was what Tohru had found herself trapped in.

Tohru desperately looked around for a way out, a window a door, something. She was terribly afraid of what might come out of the dark, and what, or who had turned the light on. There was a black door knob on one wall and she tugged for it to open. But, it was stuck.

"Let me out," she hissed, " LET ME OUT NOW!" Tohru tugged furiously on the door until it burst open and she stumbled out into the light. After slamming the door behind her, she looked around. Somehow She'd found herself in a bedroom very similar to hers.

"What the hell is this?"

In Tohru's normal room back home the walls were white and the floors were made of wood. There were two windows above her bed, and on the far wall next to her door was a picture of her and the Sohma family. On the left side of the room was her desk, and on the right was her dresser, but this was completely different.

In this room the floor was made of stone. Her windows were ugly and scary looking. They also were made of stone and had cracks in some of the molding. Tohru's dresser wasn't there anymore. Now there were huge pink drawers built into the wall next to the mysterious closet. Her desk was gone too, and in its place were piles upon piles of stuffed bears, porcelain dolls, and other toys a little girl would wish for.

Tohru stood in awe as several toy faeries came to life and started to fly above her head. They danced and spun like acrobats in the air. Behind them they left sparkling trails of light; red, green, blue, yellow, and orange.

'I must be dreaming', she thought, "but it all seems so wrong."

She walked over to the pile of toys and cautiously picked up one of the bears. 'I mustn't forget about Alice in wonderland or Goldie locks. I have to remember about all the faerie tales I've ever heard. All the ones about cursed princesses and magical lands.'

Tohru examined the bear while she thought, "Just incase I'm not dreaming" she finished.

"Oh, your not dreaming," said the bear, "This is a nightmare!" It cackled evily and spun its head around 360's to face Tohru with its big black eyes.

She screamed and whipped it against the wall.

"Sun of a bitch!" the bear slid slowly down the wall and clacked it's plastic eyes off the floor. All the faeries froze and fell to the ground.

"oh my god, " Tohru panted heavily and clutched her heart, "what the hell is going here?"

Something banged off her foot and sent her flying two feet into the air. When she looked down it was just the dam apple again. Once it had gotten her attention, the apple rolled away and started hitting the door.

'ooh, " she thought, 'stupid thing wants me to follow it. Well I guess I could play along, as long as I'm cautious.'

Tohru walked over to the door and made sure there was still a lock on it. Thankfully it was, but what troubled her was that her photograph was no longer there. The apples incessant banging finally got to her and she looked down at it and frowned.

"Hurry Lassie Timmy's trapped in a well!" Tohru said sarcastically and opened the door.

The apple rolled down the hall and headed for the stairs, while Tohru followed slowly behind it. It waited patiently for her at the stairs, then continued to roll down to the first floor. It traveled in the direction of the kitchen, and stopped just outside the curtains.

"oh good you've come, please step inside."

Tohru could see a shadow sitting at the table behind the curtains and took a deep breath. She hadn't recognized the voice

'well whatever's in there,' she parted the curtains and stepped inside.
