Libby awoke in a small cot in what looked like a circus tent. A broken melody played off in the short distance. Although distortion couldn't keep the tune of twinkle twinkle little star from reaching her ears.

Libby hoped with all her heart that Jack was at the other end of the musical trail. Her hopes came to a halt at the realization that she was in entirely foreign clothing.

A black leotard hugged her small frame along with a metallic baby blue skirt. Black and Baby blue arm and leg warmers and matching dance shoes were also present. Her hair was done in delicate ringlet curls. The most disturbing part of the situation was the polished silver locked cuffs around her wrists, ankles, neck, and chest.

There were no chains or rope connected, just loops indicating that something could be used to bind her.

Elizabeth's curiosity about the music's source drew her from the sleeping chamber.

She followed the sound deeper until a woman's voice was heard singing.

Out of impulse she sang along.

([L] is Libby and [S] for the stranger)

[S]  Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky!

When the blazing sun is gone,
When there nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.

[L] Then the traveler in the dark,
Thanks you for your little spark,
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.

When the blazing sun is gone,
When there nothing shines upon,
Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.  

 The music box stopped suddenly.

Libby out of fear that she did something wrong, dropped to her knees and shielded her self with her arms.

''Oh goodness me, I hadn't realized you were awake or I would have prepared something for your supper, Dearie'' The lady said helping the distraught woman off the floor.

Libby could have sworn she was hallucinating when she got a look of the woman.

''W-wha?'' she staggered back in disbelief.

''Is something wrong, Scarecrow and Puppeteer weren't too rough on you were they?'' the woman checked her head and everywhere else visible.

''N-no I'm okay, it's just-'' Libby trailed off.

''It's just what? It's alright, you can tell me'' she soothed.

''You remind me of my best friend''

''What's his name?''

''Jack''

''Pfft, are you kidding me?!''

''Wha-''

''Laughing Jack is your friend, right?''

''Yeah'' Libby grew suspicious of her sudden giddiness.

''He's my twin brother. I'm Jill''

''Ah! It's so nice to have a friendly person to talk with in this rat-hole''

''Your telling me! Me and a few friends of mine have been held captive for years''

''Don't worry, I'm sure that Jack and the others will find us''

''Well, in the meantime, let me introduce you to the gang''

Jill walked over to a small group of individuals and introduced them to the newly captured female. 

The first to greet Libby was a male as tall as Slenderman. He had a cheerful smile on his face and rainbow polka dots all over his black suit and hat.

''Hello little one! My name is Splendorman, but you may call me splendy'' he said shaking her hand.

''I'm E.J.'' greeted a male wearing a blue mask that dripped black liquid from the eyesockets.

A man with longer red hair wearing a rather nice suit and top hat chuckled,

''JASON!'' she semi squeaked as she hugged him.

''Glad to see you're okay kiddo'' he smiled rubbing her back.

Splendor handed Libby her bag that was taken from her.

Something rustled from inside, struggling to get out.

Carefully, Libby unbuckled the straps holding it closed.

A dirty brown teddy bear crawled out.

''Charlie? how'd you get in my bag''

''Doesn't matter, we need to get you outta here, pronto'' the bear ushered pulling pulling at her leg warmers.

Jason picked Charlie up.

''Now hold on there pal. I have something for the little lady'' Jason said turning towards a tent behind him.

A brown, patchwork rabbit hopped into sight.

''You wouldn't leave me behind, would you Eli?'' he asked hopping closer.

''Oscar, is that really you?'' Libby reached down to pick him up, but was stopped.

''Of course she wouldn't leave you, because she's not leaving'' gold strings became bound to the iron restraints and placed Libby in a large iron cage.

''Please no!'' it was too late the door was shut tight and locked.

She stood at the untarnished door shaking, her dainty hands clasped around the bars as she slowly sunk down to her knees and sobbed for the first time.

''Don't cry love. It'll all be alright, you'll see'' cooed a voice that was vaguely familiar to the distraught female.

She looked up and saw the face of the person she dreaded along with his corrupted cohort Candy Pop.

Libby was horrified,

''This....this isn't possible''

''I'm afraid so my dear''

Meanwhile~

The two living toys escaped the circus prison and scurried towards the woods.

They got halfway through the woods when they had to stop and rest.

''We'll never get there in time'' Oscar heaved.

Charlie looked at the trees around and luck was in their favor.

''Hey think you could give me a boost up there?''

The rabbit looked up and saw a very iconic page.

''Charlie, you're brilliant. We could use it to summon them''

Oscar laid down on his back and reared his legs up. Charlie stood on the rabbit's large back feet and was launched upwards.

Swiftly the bear nabbed the page and waited for the cavalry to arrive.

At the mansion~

The residents were in a state of panic over the news that Dark and Ben delivered, but none of them more so than Jack.

Sally frantically looked for her stuffed companion that went missing that morning.

Slender silenced the noisy pastas.

''Someone is in the forest and they took one of the pages''

''So what Adrian, let 'em take the stupid page'' Offender grunted.

Suddenly Slender shuttered in obvious pain.

''They're ripping the paper.....we leave now'' in a flash everyone was at the location of the page.

There standing by the tree was the stuffed bear and rabbit holding the torn page.

''Bout damn time you got here. We need to go, like last week'' Charlie announced hopping into Sally's arms.

Jack wasn't interested and stayed put as the others traversed without question.

Oscar hopped over to the clown and tugged at his pants leg.

''Didn't you hear us?''

''Oh I heard ya cottontail, I just don't care''

''So, you don't care that Candy Pop has Elizabeth?'' he said puffing his cheeks and scrunching his wee nose.

''Libby'' was the only response he had as he scooped the rabbit up in his arms.

''She's being held in his crazy carnival, right rabbit?''

''Yes''

''Then let's go'' a puff of smoke teleported them to the outside gates.
