Chapter 13 - Wonder Burrow

Once we where ready, we snuck out the room and down the stairs but there was no one guarding the door, weird....

We walked out the door of the school and in front of the forest. It looked even scarier that before.

"So, in which groups do we split up in?" Liam asked. "You go with Natalie while me and Adrien go together. But I think we have to split up in the mansion. " Maya advised. Oh God, she paired me with Liam.

"That's fine with me." Liam shrugged, not really bothered. We then went under the banned and I immediately fell back, we all did. "Oh God, this is too much." Adrien groaned, sitting up. Liam pushed himself up and stretched his hand out to help me. I took his hand and he pulled me up. I did the same for Maya and Adrien.

"Ok, that feeling only get's stronger when something bad happens." Adrien grumbles. "Guys, what's that noise?" Maya shrieked. There was a deep growling coming from inside the forest. It sounded like...Gooey?

"Guys, is that Gooey?" I asked. Then, a figure appeared.

"Guys uhm, Gooey looks...strange." Maya whisper yelled. He did look weird. He seemed to have his head covered in blood and like half of his body was pure black.

"You guys left me here to rot with the spirits, now you shall pay!" He yelled, running as fast as he could to us. With instinct I dragged Liam to the right and Maya dragged Adrien to the left. We ran as fast as we could. Then I saw a big rabbit hole that I'd never seen before. It looked so, strange. Like a, portal. Without thinking, I dragged Liam to the hole but then he suddenly pulled me back.

"What the hell, Nate. You really think going down a strange ass portal will help us?!" Liam shrieked. Then there was a growl coming closer to us. "Do you have anything else in mind?!" I exclaimed, glaring at him. He just sighed and took my hand, pulling me into jumping in the hole. Then my head began to spin. "Liam...." I muttered. Everything then began to change colours, a rainbow spiral glowing around. I clinged to Liam's side as he held me tight. I shut my eyes as our speed increased strangely.

"LIAM, WHATS GOING ON?!" I shrieked as our speed went faster, as if this hole didn't have an end. The pressure increased and I felt my face almost pulling of. Then we hit a.....bouncy-castle?

"Where are we?" I said in awe, looking around. "I don't know." Liam sighed out. It was like we where in a whole new world. Like a cute lively version of the forest with so many colours and rainbows all around. The bouncy-castle looked amazing. I stood up, looking around. It was almost mesmerizing.

"Oh Jeez! Who are you 2?" A tiny female voice said. We climbed out to bouncy house and stood in front of a big bunny. Not to big but around my waste to shoulder. It wad a....dress?

"Oh, hello there." It said, smiling at us, it was freaky. "Where are we?" I asked, confused and kind of scared. "Oh, you are in Wonderland Burrow." The sweet bunny said.

"Like Alice in Wonderland?" Liam asked, confused. "Oh no, no no. Alice in Wonderland is far from this burrow. This is Wonderland Burrow in the Dark Forest kind. It's the only lively place IN the whole of the Wondering Forest." The bunny explained, leading us through a colourful village. We stopped in front of a house. A beautiful colourful one in fact. It had so many flower pots filled with bright and colourful flowers at the front. The girl skipped to the door and knocked on it.

A minute later, a beautiful bunny around Liam's height. "Polly, I've been looking for you. I even sent Robert out to look for you. Come help me with lunch-" The female tall bunny paused once she noticed us, a smile placed over her worried frown.

"Oh, guests. I've not seen a human in ages. Where did you find them, honey?" The tall female bunny asked. "I met them at the entrance. Can they come in, mommy? Pleaseeee?" Polly, the bunny, asked, pleading.

"Sure why not." The mother bunny said, smiling sweetly and letting us into her warm home.

"Honey, go check on the twins." The mom said, gesturing to Polly. Polly nodded and ran up the stairs.

"How did you guys get here." The mothers voice said, with anger. I was suprised at her sudden change. " We where running away from The Shadow Colossus. And when found a whole and jumped in." Liam explained. Her facial expression changed from anger to worriedness.

"Follow me." she exclaimed. Leading us into the living room. On a rocking chair sat an old wrinkled male rabbit with glasses on his nose. He appeared to be sleeping and snoring loudly.

"Dad, wake up. We have guests." The mother said. "Oh my lord, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Julia." she apologised.

"I am Natalie and this here is Liam." I said, introducing us to her and the man.

"Julia, why did you wake me up to see a punch of human teens in the house?" The old man grumbled, picking up his glasses from the desk beside him and slipping it unto his face.

"They got chased into the hole by one of those monsters, dad." Julia sighed, palming her face.

"Oh! How did you guys even wake up the monsters, they've been asleep for years?! You meddling human children always doing things." He grumbled, sitting up a bit.

"No, it was nothing like that. I was just curious-" I started.

"No, I don't wanna hear it. All you good for nothing human children messing things up for us down in the Wonder Burrow!" He yelled, slamming his fist on the desk. I jumped a bit but soon got myself.

"It's nothing like that, sir. I dragged 3 of my friends into the forest first at at MAC, I let curiosity get the best of me so it has nothing to do with 'all human children'." I explained. He just looked at me in pure rage. I had enough of this place and I wanted to get out of here. "Where is Polly?" I asked, getting uncomfortable. "Oh, she is upstairs, you can go see her if you want." Julia said with a warm smile. I smiled back, dragging Liam to the staircase and up.

I dragged his to the nearest empty bedroom. It looked like it belonged to a boy with the blue everywhere. I shut the door and looked at Liam, worried.

"Liam, I don't wanna be here with talking rabbits and who knows what. See, I wanna leave this place." I said, convincing him. "I know, I want to leave too but there's something about this place that I think can lead us a step closer to destroying those monsters. I've been to this part of the forest and I have never seen this rabbit hole before. I think the forest is helping us to kill all the monsters." Liam said, exciting filling his eyes.

"How can we be sure? It may just lead us to a dead end." I tried talking sense into his crazy theory. "Just trust me, Nate. Trust me on this one." He sighed, looking down at me while taking a hold of my hand.

Oh wow-

Maybe this could finally be the time we, you know, kiss! We are alone anyway so-

We lean in to-

"Who are you!" A male voice yelled. We pulled apart quickly.

We turned in shock to see a rabbit my height, a male one. It glared at us.

"Robert, who are you talking to?" Polly asked, walking over to his side.

"Oh, those are my friends I met at the bouncy-castle." Polly said, smiling at us. The male was about me height. He just looked at us, suspicious.

"How did you guys find this hole? It never lands on this forest." He snared at us.

"What do you mean-"
