As she took her first step into the unknown world, she felt a bit squishy and kind of fuzzy. But she took the risks because she felt deep inside that she could find Lily. Mouse Lily truly meant a lot to her. So Lavender went in. She was amazed to see that the new world looked nothing like she had imagined. It was bright and colorful, and the thing that she will always remember was probably the size of the mushrooms there. They were the size of trees, and very bright. As she was exploring, Lavender noticed a path leading somewhere. She decided to go and check it out. “What can be worse?” she thought. As she was walking along the path, all she could think about was Lily.

All of a sudden, she saw a beautiful wooden house and wondered what that could be. She decided to explore a little, since she had no idea where to go, because the mushrooms and the path were starting to feel like a maze with no actual ending. The house she was thinking of entering looked a lot like an old, vintage hut. Entering it, she was astonished with what she saw.

Inside the hut, there was a witch who was making some potion in the pot. The hut was normal size and made out of wood. Inside, there was some decent space, but everything looked so old and crusty. It also smelt really bad inside. Lavender saw that the water in the pot was bright green and lit up the whole room. She was shocked. She couldn't believe what she saw on the shelf. In the jar, she saw Lily. Lily looked different from the last time she saw her. She was pale and had dark red eye. Lily had no reaction to Lavender visiting her. It's like she had no memories with her. Lavender wondered if Lily was even real. Then she turned to the left and saw a bunch of similar mice. She was trying to find the real Lily, but to her surprise, she couldn't find her. She started hearing weird noises. Upon checking the sounds, she found the real Lily, and now Lily was able to talk. Lily screamed, "Get me out of here, please! They are using all the rats for soup", as she got chained up by the witch. Lavender was shocked and tried thinking of a solution to get Lily out of the cage. She found a screwdriver and noticed there were screws on the metal chains.
