A?What a caterpillar?" asked Abigail with a frown upon her face.
"Not just any caterpillar, watch!" replied Laura.
Laura picked up the toy, with a single motion flicked her long black hair out of her face, and chucked it in the air. The caterpillar disappeared from sight. A few seconds later a multi-coloured bridge appeared Abigail gasped, stunned unable top move, she did not believe what she saw. Poor Abigail maybe she was a tiny bit too down to earth, as she was too scared to dream!
"Come. On" Laura cried, grabbing her friends arm.
Abigail too stunned for words just didn't say anything it was only a few seconds later when she heard a waterfall that she realized that she was moving.
"Where are we?" asked Abigail in a shocked voice.
They had come out inside a cave; at the entrance door there was water streaming down! Laura did not answer Abigail's question but merely smiled and put a finger to her lips. How are we going to get out without being wet? Abigail thought. Then as though in an answer a large opening in the waterfall appeared! Wow! She thought, wonder where we are.
Then following Laura through the fall she came out to discover a plain of grass! With a small group of trees standing in the middle of it! But it was a long walk! For a brief second Abigail closed her eyes hoping that she was dreaming. She didn't have a huge imagination. She didn't like strange things.
Then Abigail heard something not from her ears but from her mind; 'You asked where you were, that shall be answered but you are not inquisitive, why? I wonder why. Your friend has gone, as you will discover when you open your eyes. You are in the land of the mind. Nothing but you can help you escape, why you are here, I do not know, it may be to discover yourself but you will see as you come to a discover this place. Only when you accept and believe what you see and not before will you return to your world. Follow the path to the trees.'
Then Abigail opened her eyes, they had only been closed for a second yet the words had come faster than lightning. She saw that the words were true as her friend, Laura, had disappeared then she remembered the words. What did it mean?only when I believe what I see? If I saw it then sure it has to be true!
Just then Abigail saw a path, which had not been there before, it seemed to lead to the trees. What could be there? She knew it would take her a while to get there but was sure there she would find out to get home there for the words had spoke true of her friends disappearance. So she set off walking, after a while when she was closer she heard a buzzing noise, which sounded like chatter. Coming from the cluster of trees. She sped up to find out the source of the noise. Then when got there she found it, she was sure she was just visioning it, there were ten maybe twenty snake like people that all looked like the toy her friend had showed her Except these were much prettier and the material seemed to be glowing a wonderful pink colour. But they were talking, in English.
