Escape from Binkoid Village: Ch 4 New Room, Weird World

I yawned and stretched groggily and dazedly stood up. The guard was still there.
A strange growling noise came up from below me. Oh, it was my stomach. I was incredibly hungry, for I hadn’t eaten for almost a day. I had a massive headache, and was terribly uncomfortable. I stood up and hit my head very hard on the ceiling of the cage. It ached for about five minutes, but nothing could even compare to the empty hole in my stomach. I needed food urgently. I had never been this hungry before. It hadn’t even been a day!
The guard made a very loud snore then jumped up, as if he scared himself. I giggled quietly as he examined my cage to make sure I didn’t leave it, or try to get out of it. He paced around and around, making me dizzy, as my eyes followed him.
Edwin came walking slowly down the stairs, still in his lab coat. I could tell he had been sleeping, because of the sheet bite on his face, and one side of his hair sticking up. Plus, he had a small amount of dried drool of his cheek, which made my stomach churn.
When the guard caught sight of Edwin, he quickly stood up very straight and tall, adjusted his hat, and wiped his face, as if to look like he had been on guard all night. I rolled my eyes and lay back down to go to sleep.

“How did the cage monkey do?” Edwin asked tiredly, gesturing over to me.

“Well, she fell asleep at around 12:45 and snored, which kept me awake all night long.

I rolled my eyes again, half asleep, because I knew that he really hadn’t been awake. He was sleeping when I got up. What a jerk, and a liar! I wondered if Edwin is paying him for this! He probably was. What a sick person, lock some one he didn’t know up in a cage, and treat them so horribly… at least give them food!

“Well, thanks for watching her…. I will see you at around 10 or 11 tonight?”

“Sure will Edwin, she is an easy one.”

Jeff walked out the door fast; he must have been in a hurry, but who knows.

“Well, I am going to have visitors soon, so I am going to move your cage to my special room. Bullet proof, and totally sound proof, so don’t strain your voice from screaming to let you out, because, huh, no one will be able to hear you. Okay, well, times ‘a’ wasting!”

Edwin then, walked over the corner of the room, and pressed a button, that moved my cage roughly, into a stranger looking room.
Its walls were really tall. I looked up at the ceiling; it was probably 20 or 30 feet up. I shivered, it was awfully cold.
Then, I actually looked at the walls, and it was like nothing I had ever seen before. All of the four walls were labeled, one saying FAIRIES, another saying LEPRECAUGNS, the third wall saying GENIES, and the last wall saying WIZARDS.
I thought to myself, could there really be those things in those boxes and jars?
A brilliant thought popped up in my head… I am going to knock down a jar from the GENIES wall, and take a genie, and then make a wish that I could be away from here!
Then, reality popped back into my head. There are no such things as genies… but then again, it was worth a try, meaning this was my only choice.
I took a rock from my pocket, I had no clue where it came from, and I threw it as hard as I could at a genie lamp.
The lamp fell, and I was extremely grateful it didn’t break.
The lamp was close enough to me, that I could touch it with the end of my finger, so I did. It rolled over and then I snatched it inside my cage.
I did exactly what a movie would of done, considering what I did to make the genie come out was something I got from a movie.
Without thinking, I started to rub the genie lamp, and in a split second, a giant genie appeared right before my eyes!
He was way overweight, and his short black hair was in a high ponytail. He had a pencil moustache and a curly beard. His beady, squinty, eyes looked at me, and he changed his position, from sitting on his knees, to cross-legged.

“Hello, I am Charles the genie, and you have been lucky enough to rub my lamp. Now you have three wishes, choose them wisely, because I am a trickster. Now there is no way out unless you wish for me to go away, but this is your big shot, so go! Pick your wish. The only rules I have are you cannot wish for anyone to die, get injured, or lost. Okay, go for it. Three wishes.”

“Umm… okay. I wish that I was anywhere but in this science place.”

“Okay, you have successfully wished your wish. Bibbity bobbity… oh wait, I hate that movie. Um… wish complete!!” he said, and with a blink of an eye, the world around me went colorless.

I didn’t see anything, for I was in a world of white, and black. There were squiggly lines, and loud noises, kind of like music, only in a weird kind of way. Then, I was dropped, like a worm from a mother bird’s mouth. I hit the ground with a thud, but I realized I wasn’t alone. I turned my head and guess who I saw?
EDWIN.

He turned and looked at me, stood up, twirled around, and blinked wide-eyed some more. Then he fell as if he had passed out.
About 30 seconds later he felt his forehead, and screamed, more like yelled.

“WHY ARE WE HERE? WHAT DID YOU DO? YOU GOT INTO MY GENIE LAMPS DIDN’T YOU! OH I KNEW THAT WAS A HORRBILE IDEA!” He dropped his head on the floor and took a deep breath.

“ What happened?” Edwin asked, in a friendly-ish kind of tone, which I had never heard him speak before.
I told him everything, all the way from waking up in the morning yesterday, to now. I had only been with this guy for a day! It felt like a week or so.

“Well maybe you should not have even come here in the first place! You should not have been curious and opened my door! I hate you! I hate you for everything you have! I am a scientist… or well I wanted to be. But now everything is flat out ruined because you came along! And I guess I did do some of it… but wait no! You started it by walking in… and I hope you know that is trespassing! I could tell on you to the local police… IF WE WERE IN OUR CITY!”

Edwin looked away, and got up. He went to go hide under a rock, or something.
Then, I looked around, and really saw what kind of new world we were in.

It was ridiculous and every single little area was labeled with a sign.
The first sign said:

“Welcome to Binkoid Town
(The bad half)”

Hmm… I thought to myself, what a strange name, and the “bad side”? It scared me, but strangely, made me want to walk around the town and look.

There was a gigantic toe looking thing that was hairy, like human hair, and was labeled “ Hairy Toe-Poid Forest, Home of the Toegars.”
Everything ended in “oid”, and I was very confused.
I walked into the forest, or so called forest, and it was totally strange. Shoes, stinky shoes, were hanging from trees, the ripped up kind, that were faded red, or black.
Then, I heard a noise, like a rustling noise, and I turned around to see a bush moving.
“Who’s there?” I yelped, pathetically.
A strange little toe looking creature slowly marched up to me.

“ZWAAAAAK!!”, it screamed.

It made me jump.
Then, it ran off.
Seconds later, two more came out. It had brought a friend. Then three, four, five. Six more came, and then seven, eight, but after that, I pretty much lost count.
There was a whole army of those toe creatures, and I was one little, helpless human.
Uh, oh.
They were peachy colored, and short, at about 3 feet tall. They were walking on two feet, and had two beady eyes, and a tiny little nose, followed by a peephole of a mouth. The little guys looked like a normal, but big toe, yet walking, and with human-ish features. Well, it looked like a toe that was sticking upwards.

“ Zeeeeeeeekk! Boo bah zenny flah!!” said the toe standing in the front.

“I come in piece?” I almost stated, more like questioned. I had no idea what to say, let alone if they spoke English.

Then, the smallest out of all of them, walked up to me.

“Hello, my name is Troncha-oid, and I am the only one that speak English out of them.” he said, with a heavy accent.

I could barely understand him, and you could tell he was having trouble talking in the English language.

“ Um, hey, I am really sorry I bothered you guys. Coming here was an accident so I will just go and leave you guys alone.” I said walking away.

“NO!! Lea-der.” Troncha-oid yelled to me.

“Um.. what? No, I think you guys have made a mistake… I am just a…”

“Lea-der!” they all chanted.
I was really confused and nervous, I could feel my palms sweating like crazy, I was afraid I would flood the city with my sweat!
Then, a large toe came forward at me, with a necklace beaded with fresh flowers, and he put it on me, over my neck.

“Lea-der.” They said all at once, again, but this time, they were pointing at me with their one hand.

“No! I am not your leader! I just came here, because I was tricked by a genie, and I don’t know how to leave! I am NOT a leader, so leave me the heck alone! Okay?”

“Zee zoo bee troo da loing goid!” someone said.

“What?” I asked, half annoyed.

“She says you are scaring her because you are shouting.” Troncha-oid translated.

“Well him them I say I will keep yelling if you don’t let me go! Seriously, I have a lawyer!” I screamed him.

“Um, Zee-boo-goid is a girl.” Troncha-oid said nervously.

“Uhhh!!” I yelled, and then I ran out of there as fast as I could.

“ZWEEEEKKOOOO!!” Troncha-oid screamed.

I was guessing that meant attack because they pulled long spears out, out of nowhere, and came charging at me.

Troncha-oid yelled, “ You accepted the necklace of royalty. You leave—and you die!!”

I didn’t listen, and kept on running, I didn’t care if I was their god, I would keep sprinting.
Finally, I was out of that place, and the army was out of my sight. I was definitely not going back there, but I was not quite done exploring.
I looked to my left, and I saw a little swamp labeled “ Sulky Swamp.”
Oh, this is the bad side, I thought to myself. And I strangely I wondered where Edwin was. But, I hated him, and I was glad he wasn’t with me.
I took two steps toward the swamp. I noticed the moon against the water, and it was getting late, and I was sure tired, and hungry.
I found a safe place to rest, underneath a big tree. I laid down, and rested my head against my hands.
I had so much to think about, yet, I was too tired, so I just fell asleep.
