Lately I've been only posting other stuff and never gotten to the new story so enjoy the new series. Not necessarily Pierce x Alice so beware wink wink*
It was a huge mistake. Not even the word "huge" can express this situation I am in right now. Number one, it is because I am being dragged along by Pierce and number two, I turned small. Yes, small as to meaning I became like one of those dwarfs you read in fairytale. And what can I do right now? Just get carried away by Pierce to who knows where we are going and hope that I can turn myself back to normal.
It all started when I was having my usual walk in the forest. Spending inside the Clover Tower is just not my way to spend the whole day. Working with kind people in the Clover Tower makes me happy, but the sunshine and gentle breezes that you can only experience in nature is indispensable. While I was having a leisure walk, Pierce suddenly jumped to me and whimpered over how the cat, aka Boris, was going to eat him. I just sighed and went along with his panicked state for a bit until he suddenly came up with this brilliant idea of bringing me along to his escape and ultimately announced that he would invite me to his house. He swiftly got out a suspicious looking bottle and urged me to drink it. Of course I was going to refuse it, but I carelessly drank it; how stupid of me. And the next thing I knew was that I turned small; the end to my flashback.
Now Pierce jubilantly looked at me. Despite my lack of understanding of this peculiar dormouse, I can swear that he is enjoying this situation. I am on top of Pierce's hand right now and I can see even a slight change from down here. That's when I noticed that Pierce was about to talk, I swiftly closed my ears and waited for the impact. Pierce elatedly talked, "Hey Alice where should we go now? Ehehehe, my idea was excellent. I can now take you wherever I want. Should we go have a date at the town or should we go to my house?" His voice may not be that loud in actual size, but if you're as small as a pinky the volume changes.
"I don't care; just turn me back into the normal size and also don't talk so loud, my ear hurts."
Totally not listening to my request, Pierce went on with his loud talks, "Eh! But you look so cute in that size! Stay in that form forever, I will make sure to treasure you. Chu~"
"If you dare do that then I will call Boris out and make him torture you as long as he desires. It will be splendid to watch him eat you up with his famous knife and fork," I tried to make myself look scary, but the size just resulted as an unsuccessful attempt.
Though I was not very threatening, the words which I emitted made the timorous dormouse frightened, "N-no! I don't want that! Cat is really scary! I'm scared of the cat!"
"Then do as I tell you and turn me back into the normal size."
His ears drooped sadly and made my heart ache, "Ok, I will do it…"
"Good."
Feeling relieved now, I watched Pierce search for something in his coat, "Huh? Uhh… umm…"
"What is it now Pierce?" I feared that it was not something good.
"I…think I dropped the bottle that turns Alice back into the normal size…"
"No. Way."
"I swear I put it in my pocket just a few minutes ago. Where did it go?" Pierce frantically searched for the bottle.
I desperately thought of possibilities to where Pierce could have dropped the stupid bottle, "Let's try to go back and look for it, one more time. It might be near than you expect." But no matter where we looked, we couldn't find it.
I just sighed and looked at Pierce, "Pierce, do you have the same bottle?"
"No, it's the last one I had and it takes a long time to order the same one."
"Great, so I have to be in this size for who knows how long?"
"I'm sorry Alice…" I could see large orbs of clear liquid forming in his eyes.
"…Please don't cry Pierce, it adds on to my headache," I was the one who wanted to cry, but obviously I cannot when I see people crying right in front of my face. Such case was when I had to attend my mother's funeral. Father and Edith cried so hard that I just couldn't release my tears. That was just how I was raised I guess. Now I see Pierce about to cry. I just swallowed all the complaints I was about to say and just sat on his hand.
Pierce wiped away his tears and looked at me worriedly, "But…"
That's when someone approached behind us, "Hey Mouse! What are you doing here?"
"K-knight!" Pierce straightened his posture and looked wearily at Ace.
"Ace!" Great, another pain in the ass came.
"Huh? Did I hear Alice call my name just now?" It seemed like I was too tiny for him to notice.
"Ace, over here!" I waved my hands to get Ace's attention. I wasn't expecting much of a help from him, but might as well utilize anyone I know to get back to my normal size.
Ace finally looked at my way and dropped his smiling façade and stared at me blankly, "…Alice? Is that really you or did the Wonderland folks finally couldn't suppress their affections for you and made a miniature figure."
"IT IS ME!" I stomped my foot and I felt Pierce flinch in pain, my bad.
Ace laughed until his stomach was in pain, "Wow! How did you become so tiny?"
"Complicated, just don't ask," I just rolled my eyes and waited until Ace stopped laughing.
The knight of hearts looked at me intriguingly, I felt myself having goose bumps, "Alright then, but it truly is not fair that the Mouse gets to monopolize you…hey Mouse, give Alice to me."
Hearing this, while trembling in fear, Pierce took out his dagger, "N-no way! I promised Alice that I will treasure her! Even if I have to confront with you, knight."
"Hm, well then I have to take Alice by force," Ace gave a sinister aura as he unsheathed his sword.
"Wait! Both of you stop! Ahhhh!" After that, my vision got blurred by the violent movements. Finally not able to take the ride, I lost my conscious. The next thing I knew was that I was in Ace's red coat pocket and was heading to yet another unknown place.
"Ace, where are we?"
Ace looked at me and gave a facetious smile, "Somewhere in the forest or should I say, forest of somewhere."
Its fun to write in first person; I'm feeling like I'm Alice so I'm enjoying this~
