Alys walked deeper into the woods and with each step clung to herself a little bit more. She looked around at all the dead trees, they were starting to really spook her.

"What have they done to my poor Dreamland?" Alys asked herself, "It used to be so bright and colorful." Just like door, she added in her head. She couldn't shake the feeling that she was meant to go through that other door, the slanted door with the swirling colors. That being pulled through this one was a huge mistake. Maybe this isn't my Dreamland after all, she thought, Maybe this is someone else's and maybe their Dreamland needs to be saved from who eve made it like this. She continued walking, toying with this new thought and trying to decide what she was supposed to do here.

She turned a corner and stumbled over something. At first she thought it was a log, but when she turned around and looked she noticed it was a girl about her age with long blond hair. She crouched down and was about to shake the girl awake, but stopped. If she awoke the girl, then that girl would see her and she wouldn't be able to hide in time. With a newly revised plan, she grabbed a stick and hid behind a dense bush. Alys poked the girl a couple times, gently at first but then harder.

"Excuse me," Alys squeaked, "Miss, excuse me. Are you okay?"
