After watching the mud squish under her shoes for awhile, Breanne looked up and shouted, "Dusty! Look at all the beautiful flowers. There are thousands of them. Mom and Grandma would love it here." Realizing that she may never see either of them again, she fell to the ground and began to cry.
Dusty knelt beside her. He gently brushed her long, golden hair away from her face and whispered, "Don't cry Sis. We'll find Mom and Dad soon."
Breanne reached up and hugged her big brother. Together they sat among the soft colored flowers, trying to catch their breath. The sun was going down and Dusty was beginning to worry. Clutching the mysterious stone in his hand, he wondered, "What if we can't find Mom and Dad? How will I take care of Breanne alone?" At that moment, he looked down at her. She was fast asleep. Feeling tired himself, he leaned against a tree and closed his eyes.
Dusty felt the early morning sun warm his face as he opened his eyes. He was surprised to find that he and Breanne had slept there on the edge of the meadow all night long.
Feeling rested, they quickly ate the fruit and crackers that Breanne had packed, and raced across the meadow. There, they faced the tallest, most crooked trees either of them had ever seen. Coming to an instant halt, Breanne cried, "Dusty wait!"
"It's ok they're only trees." insisted Dusty. "They don't look like the pretty trees at the play ground," argued Breanne. "Catch up, Breanne. We have to keep moving," he ordered. "Isn't there another way to get to the castle? Can't we go around these crooked ww--oods?" she begged.
"No! This is the fastest way. Now stop whining and let's go." he shouted back to her, as he stomped off onto the dark, twisted path. Still afraid of entering the woods, Breanne closed her eyes and dashed after her brother.
A moment later, Dusty thought he heard something. It sounded like Breane's muffled scream. Dusty turned back and searched the path for his sister. He didn't see her anywhere.
