STORYTIME: The Rabbit Circle-- Part 3

...The black rabbit stood on his hind legs and stepped into the circle. Wind started to blow, each time faster and harder. It encircled Annie and the rabbits. Annie´s hair flew in her face and she could barely see anything. The ground started to shake under her. It seemed to be opening up. The rabbits seemed bigger now or maybe she was getting smaller. Then she felt something graze her hand, it was the black rabbit´s paw, it wanted to hold her hand! Annie slowly stretched her hand toward the rabbit who immediately grabbed her, and looking straight at her, pulled her down through the hole in the ground. They landed with a big THUMP. Where were they? The wind was gone, and they were not in her yard anymore. First of all it was daytime. She was standing in a beautiful garden filled with flowers and trees. The sky was so blue it almost hurt her eyes. The five rabbits were still there, though much bigger now, almost her size. She was still holding on to the black rabbit´s paw. He looked up to her and and still holding her hand pulled her toward a big tree. At the bottom of it there was a small hole, and inside lay the most beautiful white baby rabbit she could ever imagine. It seemed weak, maybe hungry or thirsty. Annie saw something hanging from its neck. It was a bell. She stretched out to touch it, but when she did all she could feel was water. The bell was made out of water...
