The girl with the blue eyeballs found Ruby..

***

After doing work in the library, Hazel went home, her hands carrying two packages of food for her Father and foster mother. Hazel hopes that her kindness may be cherished by Kammy. But when he wanted to turn the doorknob, the boisterous sound of quarrel was heard again from inside the house. Tommy and Kammy are having a heated argument, with Hazel's name occasionally being the subject of debate between them.

Hazel stood in front of the door, staring blankly at the teak door. His ears were very clear to hear the adoptive mother always protesting against Hazel.

Tommy hit the table, Dug!

"There's nothing wrong with the boy, you're just too mean to see his affection" Tommy snapped to his wife.

"You're not fooling me! Ever since she was in this house, I've always been so unsettled, what have you been hiding?"

"Stop talking like that. He'll be home soon, be nice to him, " Tommy warned Kammy.

"I'll keep acting like this, until the boy leaves our house" Kammy stood by.

Hazel drops her pack of food, she slowly steps back out of the yard, and Hazel reluctantly enters the house. Tommy, intending to pick Hazel up at the library, finds a package of Hazel's food on the terrace floor. Tommy knew the food belonged to Hazel, his daughter had heard again the quarrel between herself and Kammy.

"Hazel, my daughter .." said Tommy, who felt very guilty.

Tommy went into the house with the package, "Look, my daughter even brought us food, but what did she get? he heard your evil words!"

Kammy threw away his gaze, not wanting to be satisfied by Hazel's kindness.

Suddenly the rain fell so hard, lightning and lightning alternated making the night even more gripping. As soon as possible Hazel pedaled her bicycle to arrive at the library again. He thought it was more comfortable in the library than at home. Hazel doesn't want to make Kammy's heart fall apart because of her presence.

"Rain, please .. stop for a moment," he hoped as he pedaled his bike even faster.

Drenched, Hazel arrives at the library again, luckily, and asks Mr. Van Hill for a spare key. The atmosphere in the library was very dark, the light button was in the warehouse, while the phone at that time could not turn on due to water intake.

"Let's go ahead, turn it on, please" Hazel patted her phone.

Hazel walked to the warehouse while groping around it, the door of the warehouse was wide open, apparently Mr. Van Hill forgot to close it. Hazel blames the lamp after that blames the fireplace in the barn. Curious about Mr. Van Hill's activities in the warehouse, Hazel looks for clues to resolve her curiosity.

His eyes were fixed on the bookshelf by the fireplace, one of the books caught his attention, the thick blue-covered book with Ruby decorated it.

"This may be a book from the kingdom" he murmured as he flipped through the book.

He thought there was nothing wrong with taking the Ruby, other than beautiful, people said, only Ruby brought good luck to the owner. After all, the book is also obsolete, it seems Mr. Van Hill will not display it for customers, Hazel thought.

The title of the classic book, he slowly opened it, reading the beginning of the story of the country is very gripping. The story of the kingdom that was cursed to turn Castor Country into a Dead Country. But reading in the first chapter, Hazel was sleepy, unknowingly reciting the spell that was behind the cover.

The fairy tale book gave off a blue-colored light, following with a small wind vortex. Hazel's body was sucked, as powerful as she was against the wind currents that wanted to bring her into the book. His hand clutched tightly onto Mr. Van Hill's wooden chair.

"Please ..no, no" he said in a panic.

Half of Hazel's legs had fused with the whirlwind, her strength was not comparable to that of the whirlwind Hazel's body was sucked into the book. After sucking Hazel's body, Castor's book is sealed shut. The atmosphere in the barn was a mess, leaving a trail of Hazel with a fireplace still burning.

The sound of water gurgling disturbed his hearing, his body shrouded in a piercing cold to the bones, Hazel coughed up from her stupor. Observing the atmosphere around him, it was realized he had been in the middle of the forest, in front of him was a small lake. Hazel panicked, as she tried to stand up, she was again startled by the clothes she was wearing.

"Where am I?" Hazel wonders alone, she checks the dress she is wearing, there is a Ruby in her pocket. To make sure what happened to her was real, Hazel ran towards the edge of the lake, she saw the reflection of her face in the mirror.

"Mahhhp .." Hazel gasped to find the reflection of her beautiful face. No more traces of smallpox stuck to his skin, he transformed like a princess in fairy tales.

The beautiful dress she wore Hazelnut-colored, for life, only this time Hazel wore a dress as beautiful as that. But suddenly there was the sound of a ferocious beast roaring from the direction of the dead forest. There are no green trees, all the plants around Hazel are dead. Like Taka's life again in Castor Country.

The arrgggg!

The sound of the beast roared again, Hazel ran away from the lake again, she walked while glancing left-right to make sure she was safe from danger.

"How can I return to my world, please give me back" said Hazel, who chose to hide behind a tree.

Hazel recalls the story at the beginning of the book chapter of Castor Country, about the dead forest, all animals become vampires, even animals in Castor Country almost extinct all because of hunger. Hazel also recalls the story of Castor's palace where her King was ill at the time.

"I have to go to Castor's palace, maybe the people in the palace can send me home" he said. His body was already shaking from fear.

While walking through the forest, there was a lion blocking his path. The lion had terrible red eyes. Hazel screeched, she walked backwards avoiding the male lion.

"Go! Go!"

Hazel fell to the ground, crawling away from the lion as he approached. The branches of the Gazel tree hurled at the king of the jungle. But it seems that the lion frightened him, as if he did not dare to pounce on Hazel.

From a distance, there was another sound of horse-foot pounding running towards him, Hazel closed her eyes, she was resigned to what happened next. The Ruby stone that was in her dress pouch gave off light again. Hazel's body felt someone lift her up sitting on a horse. The Lion's voice roared again, visibly angry at the horse's presence with its master saving Hazel.
