I almost tripped over the still unconscious man on my floor when I woke up in the morning. Key word is almost. I just wasn't expecting him to be there…I kicked him on accident though I really didn't feel any form of sorrow for the man. As far as I was concerned he deserved it. Of course the Moon told me I should be nicer to Pitch and I felt for the guy I did. I know what it's like to be ostracized. Yet, I haven't turned my back on the world and decide to get all the children to fear me like the good ole days. I've never had kids fear me…I think…well there was this one time for Halloween I was thirteen and was the grim reaper…the kid ran the other way not really sure if it was because she was afraid of me though. Probably was because of fear.
"This is a dilemma." I said aloud. I couldn't change in my room cause I certainly didn't want Pitch to see me half naked. But if I didn't change in my room Allison would think that something is wrong and then of course she'll ask me a bunch of questions especially if its my certain time of the month. She'll bug me about that all week. "He didn't wake up any other time." I shoved a blanket on my bed over his head and quickly changed my clothes.
"Genevieve?" Allison knocked on my door and then came right in. "Candy and Jack have a play date with Sophie will you take them there?"
"Sure, then I'll go finish my homework." I replied.
"Good. I'll call you when it's time to pick them up." Allison said. "You're father and I are going to clean up the grounds." I hated when I heard that…she didn't have to tell me. It was a code for her and Dad wanted some alone time. I mean seriously? I knew they never cleaned the grounds because everything would stay the same. It wouldn't change if there were dead flowers when I left there be dead flowers when I came back.
"Okay." I said I really wasn't going to discuss what I knew with her. It was just one of those things you keep inside and hope is not actually true. "Do you want me to drive or…?"
"It's a nice day you can walk." It wouldn't be a long walk. All we had to do was go left when going out the back gate and through the woods and then we'd basically be there. If we went to the right we'd end up at the lake and where that creepy bed used to be.
I nodded. "They ready?"
"Almost they're finishing up breakfast." Allison turned to leave. "Oh and thank you."
"You're welcome." I wanted her leaved and looked at my little unconscious friend. I didn't want him escaping me while I was gone. "Where did I put that rope?"
Candy and Jack were happily playing with Sophie in the yard. Jamie and his friends ran past, I heard someone counting so I thought that they had to be playing hide-and-go-seek. I just headed back on the path on my way home. There were a lot of trees I had yet to get a leaf from. Of course I had to figure out if I'd already gotten a leaf from the same kind of tree. Can't teachers realize that a lot of the trees are exactly the same kind? How was I supposed to get seven different leaves?
"One, two, three, four, I got two at home so that makes six…. I need one more…" I said walking towards home. I would go on a different path. Maybe I'd find some trees, plus I had to check on unconscious boy too. But I had tied him to my bed. It was highly unlikely that he was going to be going anywhere for a while. When I took my next step I released there wasn't any solid ground and I started falling then I was sliding. I did what any normal person would do if they fell into an unknown tunnel and was sliding into the unknown. I said every curse word that came to my mind at the top of my lungs.
"Calm down there, shelia."
"What. The. Hell."
"Language."
"You just kidnapped me." I stated.
"Not kidnapping."
"It's kidnapping." I looked at my hands. "And you made me loose my biology project. Thanks a lot."
"Sorry."
"It's alright I'll find more later….what'd ya want?" I asked. I'm not quite sure why he'd take me down the rabbit hole. I certainly wasn't in his inner sanctum. I had to be just some random tunnel that led to my town.
"You know Pitch?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you know where he is?"
"Yeah." I replied.
"Is he dead?"
"Not yet."
"Has he tried to harm anyone?"
"No he's been unconscious for the longest time." I said. "Plus he's tied up in my room so he can't even harm anyone if he tired. Unless he has some really cool voodoo that he could do to escape, but I think he'd be a little weak to do anything. At least for a little while." If my little guest destroyed my bedroom that would be another story, he'd be dead meat. "Can I go now? I got homework to do?" I said. Yeah I really wanted this project done it was due Monday and I'd already slacked off so much. I doubt my teacher would take the excuse of 'I found the boogeyman unconscious and took him home after that when I tried to collect the leaves I almost had them all, but then I was kidnapped by the Easter Bunny' I could just see myself being admitted into the psych ward now.
"Sure, I'd just thought ya'd want ta see the warren…."Bunny trailed off.
Damn him. I did want to see the warren. It had to be even more magical then Disney World would be. "Does it have trees?" I asked maybe I could just kill two birds with one stone. At his nod I said, "Let's go."
I was right it was an even more magical place then Disney. There were all kinds of rainbow streams filled with colorful dyes. There were flowers almost everywhere and they'd produce all the eggs. There were vines that painted stripes on the eggs. There was just so much to look at. There were trees that I of course took leaves from. Bunny assured me that the ones I took leaves from were also found in North America.
"This is just too cool." I said wandering around. I had to watch my step not only for the sake of not stepping on and egg, but also that I didn't step into a stream or something. I really did not want to go home and explain why I was covered in 'paint'.
I had a lot of fun just looking around. Bunny kept a close eye on me though. I don't think he wanted me to hurt myself or ruin any of his hard work. I was chasing some of the eggs when I heard a familiar ringing.
"Hello?"
"Gen, I need you to go pick up Candy and Jack."
"Alright." I said. Allison and I said our goodbyes and I turned to Bunny. "Looks like I've been called home." I frowned. Before I knew it another tunnel was under my feet and I was back to where I first fell into the hole.
Picking up Candy and Jack was easy enough. I went back to my room to find that my guest still wasn't up. He hadn't even moved from where I tied him to my bed. I should be worried about him, but why would I? He's immortal and if he does die I'd just have to bury the body it's not like many people can see him anyway so disposal of his body would be easy enough. Digging did sound like a lot of work. Maybe I could get Bunny to do one of his magical tunnel things or maybe I could just dump him in a lake. That would probably be my best bet.
"Just focus and finish your homework Gen." I spoke to myself. I really needed to get this done. Maybe if vamp-boy isn't better until tomorrow I'll google what to do.
A/N: and there we are with chapter 5 I will be nice and issue the same challenge I did with Fairly Human if I get 20 reviews I will update this tomorrow. Let's see if you're up to the challenge!
