As she opened her eyes, she was greeted by a canopy of green and brown above her. Leaves. Branches. Trees. There was no sunlight to be seen, just a muted grey green light, as if she was seeing things through a haze. She tried to sit up, but failed on the first few attempts, a dizziness so acute that she wondered if she was going to faint again. Once she was sitting up, she placed a hand at the back of her head and probed gently. Yes, there was a bump there all right, but how did she get it? How did she get here, to this forest? There was a groan from her left and she glanced down to see an equally confused Caden staring up at her. She reached down an arm to help him up. "Abigail? Where are we?" "I have no idea. I was hoping you would be able to tell me." "The last thing I remember, was that we were on our way to Kansas for a conference." "Oh, that explains it then," said Abigail. "Explains what?" he asked, rubbing his head and wincing when he found the tender spot of his own bump. "We most be over the rainbow," said Abigail.
