The nameless girl and her ballet teacher Vanessa were exhausted as they picked themselves up off of the grassed land...They had been laughing uncontrollably about the sudden surprise of a different sort of laughing deemed to be from kookaburras within the trees...
The little girl had more energy and ran off further...deeper within the woods..
She was energised and excited...looking for further adventures...exploring...
As she delved deeper into the woods she noticed a change in temperature ...feeling that the air was cooler..
She continued to run feeling the freedom of following her spontaneity...
She left behind her all thoughts of the castle and the daily tasks..
Eventually she started to become out of breath and slowed down...finally dropping to the ground..
she laid on her back staring up at the sky noticing that the sun was appearing lower in the sky...the cool air even more noticeable...
She started to shiver.....
I had better return she thought....looking back behind her she had no idea of which direction she must go..
Again another rustle heard...
always much rustling within the woodlands...animals and creatures of all kinds abide there so obviously there will be rustling...
The nameless girl looked on starting to feel less brave than before...not quite the heroine now in her imaginative world...
The deer from the previous story (just in case you cannot keep up..very likely as is the nature of the thread...never mind..you can now) ...slowly emerged from the woody area...exposing herself to the nameless girl...
In all truth the deer was more frightened than the nameless girl...
There was an invisible sense of needing to help each other felt...
The little girl moved forward gently talking to the deer asking if she might help her find the way back to the castle...
The deer...loving the tone of voice...was bemused as well as a tad confused as she did not comprehend human language...
There was something in the tone of voice and those deep large beguiling eyes that pleaded ..beseeching help..
Well thought the deer...I have nothing else on today or tomorrow...so i suppose that I might just be able to manage brushing past her encouraging her to follow me to the edge of the woodlands where she should be able to one would hope by now...given the number of times that she has run into the woodlands...find her way home...
The deer leapt out from behind a tree....gently brushed past the little girl and looking back with a wistful expression managed to get the nameless girl to follow her..
Off they travelled...far and wide...well within the woodlands...
NOw unbeknownst to them ...the kookaburras were observing from above...along with buzzing bee...horrace the bat half asleep with one eye open..
The troupe all were off in the direction of the castle not together but hoping to arrive at the same place..
Little did they know that the mischievous imps who lived deep within the woodlands and had of course noticed the several visits from the little girl; were also alert and watching..
They were in fact fed up with the disturbances from coming and goings of all sorts of different creatures including a cat with slanted blue eyes..
A bat, a bee. a cook who every now and again came to the edge of the woods shouting out to the little girl "you had better get back here quick or goodness knows"..
What does "goodness knows" mean?
Who cares....
So whilst the nameless girl, the buzzing bee..gumnut bub..and hovering half asleep bat fumbled their way through the imps thought of a plan..
They had heard of rumours of treasure..
They had at one stage seen a chest which had since disappeared and they could not find..
First of all a meeting had been held by the imps and plans were set in place to thwart the merry troupe of friends..
Under no account must she or they reach the end of the woodlands...understood...
A trap had been laid...
Thump...bang...crash...ooh perhaps it had worked...
on inspection...no one of the imps forgetting or not listening at the time had fallen straight into the trap...
More thump ...bang ....crach...
bzzzzzzzz...ouch....bzzzzzzz. swat....ouch.....finally buzzing bee was trapped..
thump....bang...crash...little girl with no name tripped over buzzing bee and also fell in a heap exhausted...
Horrace landed on top ...worn out....covered them both with his expansive wings...
they all lay very still protected by Horrace eventually falling asleep..
The deer ever so quietly slid off back into the woods unnoticed.,,
Where are the kookaburras?
The little girl lay there wondering if she would be missed by anyone at the castle...
The cook had called out for her..
She had not seen the professor..
The ballet teacher had been part of the adventure at the beginning..
the piano teacher was not laying with her as was the post bat Horrace...
Who would miss her?
