              CHAPTER 3
             THE LAND OF STORIES


I saw lights buzzing around me. 
I was spinning through a never ending vortex (except I thought it was never ending.) 
All of a sudden I saw light I was falling from high up In the sky, down, down, down thump! (I fainted.)
Minutes later I woke up.
I flopped myself into a seated position, and then stood up. 
I looked at my surroundings, I was in a dark forest it was night time and very cold. 
And I felt like something was watching me from the trees surrounding.
I ran along the path until I found a door leading into a cave. 
I opened up the door and looked inside it was dark and dusty, but I could make out a kitchen and a living room in the darkness.
Then I saw a jar of sleeping fireflies.
I tapped on the jar and they woke up and light illuminated the room.
It was a underground home.
It looked as if the person that lived here either moved out, or was robbed.
I walked to the doorway and looked outside.
"I don't wanna stay out there." I whispered to myself.
So I shut the door and set up the fireplace and started cleaning up.
When I was done I got the cookies out of my bag and ate some.
Then I found a blanket in a cupboard and found a bed and went to sleep.
When I woke in the morning I had some cookies for breakfast. Then I found a book that had a map, I tore out the map, rolled it up and put it in my backpack.
Then all of a sudden I heard horses feet outside the cave on the path. 
I ran to the kitchen and grabbed a knife and slowly opened the door.
I saw a white horse with two hooded people on it's back. 
One of them hopped off and walked towards the door.
I opened it fully and got ready to fight.
Then they took their hood off and I screamed and fell to the ground. This character would be best described as a frog man.
"It's ok." The he said kindly. "Lots of people have that reaction when they first meet me. So let me properly introduce myself. My name is Charlie, but you can call me Froggy. All my friends call me that."
"Except for me!" Called out the voice of the person still on the horse.
"Yes darling I know." Froggy said. "Now miss what were you doing at my old house?" 
"It was the first welcoming place I saw where. I fell from the sky last night." I said. "Oh wait forgive me that probably made no sense to you."
"No actually that made perfect sense to me." He said. "I have met two children who fell from the sky about two years ago." 
"Really?" 
"Uh huh." He said. "And you are more than welcome to use my house. Or you can come with us to my new house."
"Um ok let me just get my stuff." I ran inside and put the knife In my backpack and went to the horse and hopped on, not knowing​ if I should be trusting this frog person or this still hooded person.
Who they are is still yet to be discovered.
