Alice silently nodded before getting up. "Am I dreaming?" She asked softly as she looked around before focusing on Krishna.

Cally looked at her. "Don't think so, Al."

"That's great, can't we go back and are we dead?" She asked as she yawned and stretched her arms, her fedora falling over her face.

Ori’s eyes flew open and she sat up straight, arms instinctively going around her chest. “What happened?” She said in a low, raspy voice before coughing and repeating herself.

"I have no idea." She replied as she touched the water of the lake. "Shouldn't we go back?" She asked unsurely as she looked into the water.

Cable looks at the two girls closest to him. "I woke up with my hands still in the water. I don't think that we can go back that way." With a shrug he turns to look at the town, and the fields of corn. The endless fields of corn.

"You know the scene in Last Jedi when Rey falls into the hole thing on the island and theres like a mirror thing and it manipulates around her? Maybe its like that." Alice suggested and picked off a cob of corn.

(They're still waking up)

Cally smacked the corn out of her hand. "Don't touch the cornfield!" She hissed, as if something in the cornfield was listening. There was a low rustling sound coming from inside it.

"Why don't we touch the cornfield?" Jay asked with a sudden urge to touch.

"Because there is a rule against it, always has been. Ever since I can remember, my older brother can remember and probably since my mother too. This is stupid, we probably shouldn't go around breaking more rules after breaking the first one got us in this mess. If you all want to go into the corn field I will follow, but don't say I didn't warn you guys of the consequences."

Cally looked sheepish. "Because it's one of the rules. Don't you hear it?" She gestured towards the endless cornfields, and the quiet rustling sound that seemed to be getting louder every second.

"Oh nut, what if this is actually hell." Alice said nervously and dropped the corn before stepping back. You could see rustles in the cornfield. Something was happening.

Lili was still being pulled along by Jay but had made her way to the corn feild with them. She had snuck to the side of it and went in, following the rustling noise, 'If this really is hell, then the rules aren't as foreth coming here… are they?' she though, pushing herself through the leaves one stalk at a time.

Ori pushed herself up, standing straight. “How do we get back? Can we walk around this lake?”

Lili heard voices ahead of her so she went towards them.
