If anyone is confused about any of the story, then ask, and I'll gladly tell you. Enjoy the new story, Unknown Foreigner: Three Hearts!
Nightmare finished his work for once. Why, he wanted to see his favorite foreigner. He had known Natalie for a long time, and they had gotten very close. She was like a sister to him. He would always listen to her, and help her out. He enjoyed the time they would spend together when he finished his work.
He stood up, and walked out of the room. He started to wander through the halls, trying to find Natalie. After about 10 minutes, he found Grey.
"Grey, do you know where Natalie is? I can't find her," said Nightmare. Grey looked surprised.
"Lord Nightmare, she left a few time changes ago," said Grey, a worried look on his face. Nightmare couldn't believe what he was hearing. She's been gone? Nightmare rushed off to the window, wanting to know what time period it is. As he neared the window, he knew something was wrong. He looked out the window to see it was night time.
"Grey," Nightmare shouted to the man running up behind him, "How long has it been night time?" Grey looked at his boss with concern. This was the first time he had seen Nightmare this frantic.
"About 20 minutes, why?" replied Grey.
"No. No she couldn't. Why would she? She wouldn't, would she?" said Nightmare to himself. He started to walk to the front door, mumbling to himself. Grey was getting more concerned.
"Nightmare, what are you talking about?" Nightmare stopped walking, and turned around. He looked at Grey, fear, and confusion showing in his eyes. He turned back around, and continued walking to the front door.
"When Natalie came here, she was very shy. She didn't want to be alone, so she stayed with me all the time. She finally warmed up to you, and spent time with you, but as a cat. She would always come back and tell me what happened that day once it turned night. There was never a day when she didn't come. She should be here. If she's not here, then she must not be able to. What that means, I can only guess."
They had finally reached the door. Nightmare stepped out into the night air, shuddering at the sudden change in temperature. Nightmare looked around, then turned around, facing Grey. "Where can she be? Where can she be," said Nightmare, more to himself then anything. He started to head inside, when he, and Grey, felt a cold breeze run through out wonderland.
"No, no it can't be," Nightmare said as he ran off to his room. Grey just stayed there, looking in the direction of the breeze. There is only one thing that gives that kind of breeze. An outsider leaving wonderland. Grey looked out towards the forest of doors.
"Now what could have made her go back over there?"
On the other side of the tower, Nightmare was tearing his way to his room. When he finally got there, he opened a drawer in his desk, and began to rummage around in it. When he found what he was looking for, he held it up to the light. It was a vial, half full, and full of black gunk. It was Natalie's vial she drank from when she first came here. Why would she have left? That is the only reason for the liquid inside to turn into that black stuff. There is no reason for her to leave, not with out telling him first. Why would she leave?
Boris was sitting in a tree, waiting for Natalie to come and apologize, since she has gone to all other territories. How did he know? He saw her when he left the castle. He saw her come from the mansion, and leave for the circus, so she should be here soon. Just as he was getting bored waiting, he felt a cold breeze come from the circus. He immediately ran for the direction of the breeze signaling Natalie's leave from wonderland.
After running a while, he finally found Natalie's scent. He noticed another smell with hers, but that left the door Natalie's scent ended at. He chased after it until he found Layla humming to herself. He was taken aback. He didn't know there was another ajin in wonderland. He ran up to her, and pinned her to a tree.
"What the heck do you think you're doing?" Layla shouted at Boris. Boris just glared at her, and started hissing. Layla started growling at his hisses.
"What the heck did you do to Natalie? Who are you?" Boris replied.
"Fine. I used the doors to make her leave, just like you can, and I am Jokers, so don't even think about hurting me. He'll kill you in a second!" shouted Layla.
"You can leave, but I expect to see you again,"Boris said, as he let go of her. Layla picked herself of off the floor, and ran for Joker.
Nightmare was alone in his room. It had been ten time changes since Natalie had left. He knew a few other role holders were sad about her departure. Surprisingly, Elliot was one of the ones who missed her, along with Boris, Grey, and himself.
He knew he should make her return, but it had been a year for her, and she was enjoying herself with her old friends. They still talked every once in a while, but it was different in the dream realm.
He turned to his desk, and began searching for another outsider to bring in. She would need to be different, and make some one happy. He was reminded of a girl Natalie had talked about. Her name was Melody, and she might just do the job. She would definitely go for Boris. How did he know? She was a cat.
Hi! This is the second book for Natalie in wonderland. I told my friend Emily Trancy that I would put her in, so I made her Melody. I think I should explain what an ajin is. In the series Dawn of Arcana, there are half human, half people called ajin. They look like how Boris and Pierce look, and they have super human attributes. I wanted to use that word, because cross breed is an insult. I hope that made sense. I hope you all enjoyed this new installment. See you in another chapter!
