Hey~ Like I said before, I would really appreciate 5 nice reviews before I post the Third Chapter.


Chapter 2:Where Are We?

Zea groaned and rolled over. Jeez, the birds were extra loud in her ear today. It almost sounded like they were right in her ear rather that outside her window. Strange. Speaking of strange, her bed was feeling rather... grassy. And it seemed as if someone was beside her.

Zea opened one of her eyes. It was grass underneath her! And five feet away from her on her right, was a beautiful bluejay(Blue-jay? Blue jay?). Zea rolled over again and saw that on her right was her sister, Sal. Zea crawled over to her and checked for any injuries. There was none that she could see. Zea sat back, relieved.

She looked around, trying to remember what happened. Then, her brain woke up when she saw the demon across from her on the other side of a river that seemed to appear out of nowhere. It was a huge, ugly, fat rat (haha.. fat rat..)demon. She shivered and slowly got back down on the ground, hoping that it wouldn't see her.

While she was down, she thought about what happened. She had just gotten out of detention, and she and her sister where running home. Zea had seen that Sal had been about to run into the 'cursed forest', and Zea had screamed. Sal had stopped just in time, but Zea hadn't. She ran straight into her sister and knocked them into the forest.

She mentally groaned. So it was all her fault that they ended up here.

Then she realized, where is here?

Zea looked around. There was something vaguely familiar about the shape and look of everything. As if it was a dream from long ago... or maybe something you've seen every single day, but you've got so used to that you stopped thinking about it.

She sighed. She was giving her self a headache. She then realized she made a rather loud noise and quickly looked back to where the demon was. 'Was' was (Good god..)correct, the demon was gone. She quickly looked behind her, just incase it snuck up on her. There was nothing there.

She sighed once again, and then made her way back over to Sal.

Sals hair was a weird shade of brown, if it was a Crayola(Is that spelled right? my comp says no) colored pencil, it would be harvest gold.(I love that color! Idk why) She was sleeping peacefully on the soft grass, and she seemed to be having a good dream. The grass made prints on her pale face.

"Jeez, she looks so peaceful. I would hate to wake her up." Zea mumbled to herself.

Zea leaned down right next to Sals ear. She took a deep breath.

"SAL!! GET UP!! JACK IS HERE!!" Zea screamed in Sals year.

Sal jumped up and shrieked. She looked around.

"JACK?!?!? Where? Where?" She asked while still looking around. When all the answer she got was a bout of laughter, she turned and glared at her sister.

"Why'd you wake me up? I was having a good dream!" Sal yelled.

Zea was too busy laughing to answer. When she finally calmed down enough to talk, she asked through her sniggers,

"About who? Jack?"

"Yes, actually." She smirked.

Zea stopped laughing and looked up at her sis with a amused/worried look.

"Really?" She asked.

"Yup. It was great! I had a bat and he was screaming and...and... it was just so fun! And funny!" Sal laughed.

"Awww!" Zea pouted. "You couldn't of dreamed me in there?"

"Next time for sure!" Sal smiled. Then she looked around. Her gaze landed on Zea.

"So... where are we?" She asked.

"How am I supposed to know?" Zea snapped. "I just woke up!"

"You woke up before me! You don't need the attitude! And you're the one who pushed me into that forest in the first place!" Sal yelled.

Zea looked down, ashamed. Sal sighed.

"Hey, hey. Sorry o.k.? I'm just weirded out, and I also got a very rude wake-up call." She glared at Zea for a second, then went back to apology look.

"I know, I'm weirded out too. And you wouldn't wake up any other way!" Zea agreed then protested.

"Did you even try?" Sal asked.

"Ummm... no." Zea admitted. She smiled in apology. Sal sighed in a 'I forgive you but I don't have to like it' kind of way.

"Jeez, this place looks like your backwards books you always have your nose in." Sal muttered.

"That's it!" Zea gasped. Sal looked at her.

"What's it?" She asked the crazy red head.

"That's where I know this from! We're in a manga!' Zea gasped again.

"A manga?" Sal asked, a little annoyed. Great. Her sister just had to pick this time to have a crazy moment.

"The backwards books." Zea explained.

Sal shook her head. "I know what they are! But what do you mean, we're in one?"

"Look at the trees! The sky! Us! Can't you see the strange way everything curves! How my normally redish-brown hair is now hyped up! Your dirty blond hair is now that weird Crayola harvest gold color!" Zea practically screamed.

Sal glared at her sister. She wasn't particularly into manga's, but she had seen enough of her sisters to know that Zea was right. She sighed.

"All right. I'll believe you. For now." Sal said.

"Yay! Thanks sis!" Zea ran up and hugged her sister.

Just then, the bushes behind them rustled. Both girls stiffened.

They turned around to see some strange figures walking towards them. They stopped, and the two groups stared each other down.
