"Cmon, Thomas!" Charlie said, "This can't go wrong."

Thomas wasn't so sure. Thomas did not think that the woods were safe.

"Charlie, these woods are haunted!" Thomas said. "People have gotten lost in them! And never come back!"

"Cmon, Thomas. Those rumors are fake! It can't be that ba-" Charlie cut off.

They had entered a clearing. Inside, there was a mushroom circle.

"A pixie ring." Thomas breathed.

"Its gonna be fine!" Charlie said. "See? I'm stepping in the circ-"

Charlie disapeared.

And the circle was getting smaller.

"CHARLIE!" Thomas yelled, jumping into the ring. "I'M COMING AFTER YOU!"

---

Charlie was scared.

He hadn't believed in fae, but obviously he was wrong.

He was currently falling through a... tunnel?

It looked like he imagined Alice in Wonderland to look like.

He suddenly heard screaming above him.

Thomas, Charlie thought. He's come for me! I knew I could break him out of his shell!

But... Now he's trapped too.

"THOMAS!" Charlie yelled. "ARE YOU OKAY?"

"YEAH" Thomas's voice reverberated. "I'M JUST A LITTLE SCARED!"

"YOU AND ME BOTH!" Charlie yelled back, then landed on the ground.

Where is Thomas? Charlie thought after a moment.

He's gone.
