Marcy's Pov:

When I found the strange music box in the antique store.. I didn't know it would actually work?! I mean I guess I was desperate since my parents told me we were moving. The only place that gives me comfort besides my room is the library. So of course I had found a book on really cool legends and found the music box! Since it was Anne's birthday, it was the perfect excuse to get it and to try it out! It was also I guess you can say a present! Again, I never expected it to actually work?! Anne and Sasha must be super pissed at me right now.. but it's worth it! That was the good news.. the bad news? IM BEING HELD CAPTIVE BY TOADS! After I fell out of the sky waking up the for the second time, I was in a prison cell. I was being guarded by two buff, big toads. They wore heavy armor with a tiny symbol on their chest plate saying "Toad Tower." I assumed that's where I was. Also their wepons were really cool! At first I was really excited! I got to use some ninja skills to knock out the toads! "Ok here's the plan.." I whisper to Sasha and Anne. But here's the problem. Sasha and Anne weren't there! I started panicking.. we all ended up in different places. "Oh no oh no oh no!!" I whispered to my self again. "Is our "guest" finally awake?" Said a gruff voice. The sounds of heavy, weighted boots filled the air. At first through the bars, I thought I was looking a shadow. But the beat came closer til I could finally make out the picture. It was a toad covered in heavy armor. One of his eyes had a scar over it, so I assumed he was half blind. The more the toad walked toward me, the more I shuffled til I hit the back of the wall of my cramped cell. I did not what I was dealing with, so I had to be cautious. After the toad made it to my cell bars, he just starred for a full minute. "Well.. don't you talk? Why not a hello? Or a salutations? Or even just a simple nod to your new boss." He exclaimed in his gruff voice. What did he mean by new boss.. "excuse me, frog- er toad. I dont know what you mean by "boss." I could just use your assistance if you could! See me and my friends opened up a music box and we got transported here! If you could help me find my way back-" He stopped me right there. "Excuse me..? This is your "home" now. You work for us now. Well actually you technically won't be working I guess I can say. You would just be watched or tested on." This was not good.. how could I find Sasha and Anne now! I'm stuck here now at toad tower..

A few days passed and of course I gotten bored. The only thing I ate while staying here was bugs. BUGS! I  decided to go "on strike" assuming I could get some real food for once but of course that wouldn't work. I learned the boss of toad tower's name. Apparently his name was "Comander Grime." Since there was nothing else for me to do here, I decided to take note on all of the new creatures here. If I was going to make an escape plan, I needed to know what I was dealing with. In the next week, I had filled out at least 78 pages in my journals about the creatures here, and 7 different plans on how to find Sasha and Anne. I decided to call my cell "my territory" since I would be staying there for a bit. Some good things did happen to me while I was staying in the cell! Toads seem to drop stuff from upstairs! The things I found were spare parts to machines, a huge map, and some batteries. The map was very useful to me! I found out two things using the map! Number 1: the place I am at is called Amphibia! And number 2: there are 3 regions of amphibia. Using my probability skills, Sasha and Anne ended up in the other two known as  "WartWood", and "Newtopia."  Looking at the map, WartWood is not that far from here! But in the other hand, Newtopia looked really far. Along with my "rescuing Sasha and Anne plans," with all the spare parts I found in my cell, I decided to tink around with them abit! I learned how to invent lock pick. I was sooo close to escaping! But I got caught by Comander Grime himself. I also made a tiny pipe so that when the toads drop spare parts again, I can use them.

A few weeks had passed and I was ready to escape! This was my final escape draft and I was sure it would work. My plan was pretty simple! First, I would wait until my guards fell asleep, (because they do.) then with my newly created lock pick, I would unlock my window cell and use my rope (that I made with cloth) to climb out of the window. Then after that, since these toads are really fast, I made some powder bombs to blind them while I ran away! Of course I would be wearing goggles while I did it so I don't go blind. And then after that I would travel to WartWood to get Anne or Sasha (who ever got transferred there) and then travel to Newtopia! And just like that, it was time to execute my plan.
