Chapter 2 - Toy Initialization

Sitting in a corner of an unknown room, Rey had no idea what had happened to him. The only thing he realized was that the world had become bigger. He could feel the length of his arms and legs become shorter. More to that, he had a brown fur of a soft toy which made him realize the position he was in.

Cold sweat dropped down his back. He tried his best not to panic and to think positively. Think positively, think positively he convinced himself.

"I really became a toy. My wish came true. I'm no longer a human" thought Rey trying his best to control the turmoil in his brain.

Silence remained for few minutes and Rey could no longer calm his mind.

"Bullshit! Like hell can I think calmly. You must be joking right? I just wished. I didn't want it to come true. Which moron wants to truly live as a toy?"

"I was that moron who wanted to be a toy" sighed Rey weeping for wishing to be a toy.

"Yes this is a dream! This must be a dream! I didn't know that I was so weak to take criticism that I even started dreaming of me becoming a toy. A goodnight sleep and I will wake up in my original body. There's no need to panic" wondered Rey and closed his eyes to sleep,

An hour passed by and Rey woke up. He was still in the same room. He was truly anxious now. But since it was just an hour, he convinced himself that his main body was having a very good sleep. A thought popped in his head to explore the room before drawing conclusions.

"Let me explore this room in my dream. They say people can dream about the things they have already seen before" thought Rey and started walking with his tiny legs.

The room was painted pink with a centrally placed bed. No matter how Rey saw it, he could make out that it was a girl's room. His next step caused him to scream out loud. He felt a doll-like bear move towards him as he walked.

"This can't be right?" thought Rey respiring rapidly hiding behind the bed next to the closet.

Rey waited for a long time with the make-up kit in his hand as a form of defense. Time passed on and Rey had calmed down quite a lot. He took a brace step to move towards the closet. Even this time he saw the bear-like thing walk towards him. Fear seized his heart but he still started walking towards the other bear waving his hands. Surprisingly, the doll-like bear started waving too. That's when Rey realized the similarity between their actions.

"Don't tell me that this is a mirror" thought Rey as he touched the glass exhaling from his earlier anxiety.

But a bigger tension engulfed his mind. "If this is a mirror, doesn't it mean that I've become a toy bear" said Rey anxiously. "But that's not the bigger problem. This room!" said Rey gulping his saliva.

"Sis, I'm back" heard Rey. A voice of a young sweet girl running in the hallways could be heard.

"Wash your hands and let us have dinner later" heard the voice of another girl.

These two voices cast Rey into a deeper despair.

Am I gonna be played and tortured by these girls. No! I'm never gonna let myself be tortured by these young girls. It's time to get out of this dream. What should I do? How can I return from this dream pondered Rey gritting his teeth fearfully.

"Maybe a fall from the bed can make me rise. Yeah that will definitely wake me up" said Rey to assure himself.

Rey hopped on top of the bed to prepare his fall. The bed was so high that he had use the blanket to climb on top of the bed. The depth of the floor from on top of the bed was like the height of a three-floored building.

"This should do. Just like inception, I'm gonna be back in my body" thought Rey and jumped off from the bed. The jump was spectacular but the landing was bumpy. He landed face first against the ground.

But what awaited him wasn't waking up from his dream, but pain to his entire system. Rey screamed from pain.

"What wrong Rily? Are you alright?" heard the anxious voice of the elder sister running towards the bathroom.

Rey sat up on the ground full of pain. "Why didn't I return to my previous body? Why does it pain so much? Did I just say pain?" said Rey turning white as a paper.

"Nooooooo!!!!!!!" heard another scream.

"Rily, don't scream in the bathroom" heard the voice of the sister.

Rey lost all sense of rationality when he realized that it wasn't a dream. He started running around the room bumping his head against all objects. Rey bumped into the closet and fell face down.

"So I really became a bear doll, huh? Wait was my soul transferred into another world? Then what happened to my body? Is my body dead?" thought Rey and started running all over the room like a headless idiot.

This time Rey bumped into a chair and hurt his head. "It hurts! It hurts!" cursed Rey

Rey looked at his surroundings to find about things familiar in his world. He looked up at the clothing, make-up kits, speakers and all electronic accessories. Rey was astonished to find this world similar to his earth. But a pile of notebooks threw cold water to all Rey's delusions. There was a diary of New Hope's International High-school i.e., the school which Rey attended. This made Rey scold his own delusions. Even though things didn't turn around his way, Rey started to console himself reminding himself that he was alive. The only thing Rey feared at the moment was the girl who lived in this room. He was afraid to be ill-treated by the owner of the toy bear.

Rey slowly started to search for the name of the person. His findings brought uncontrollable fear and shivering down his spine.

"Why her? Why her of all the people? Am I born unlucky or what?" cursed Rey as he saw the picture of Reena holding the bear with a man whose face couldn't be seen because of the glare.

He went down with a sense of shock remembering the events. He could no longer believe that it was a real world. He tried hard to recall all the previous events that occurred in his original body to find out a clue which would explain his present situation aptly.
