Do you believe in fairy tales?
The forest was beautiful, the sun shone through the leaves of the tree tops casting the shadows on the ground for me walk over. I walked down the path scrapping my fingers across the tree trunks as I walked past them, I could smell the smell of the wilderness and I could hear the sound of birds singing in the tree tops. My light blue dress flowing in the air around my knees, my long blonde hair shimmering in the sunlight and long red cape dragging along the ground behind me. Feeling the breeze in my face bushing my hair back behind my head, the wind was cold but now cold enough to freeze my ass off. A white rabbit hurried along the path by my side as if he was running from something but, what…? The sound of heavy breathing filled the forest air as I slowly turned around to face a blacked furred and angry wolf starring face to face with me. I swallowed hard looking into its dark black bead like eyes, my heart raced in my chest getting faster and faster as he stepped closer to me.
He smirked showing his large pointed teeth "Yummy. Little girl"
I span around and darted down the path, I could hear the foot steps of the wolf chasing after me, he was fast but I knew I could be faster.
"Help!" I yelped running through the bushes "Help!"
I looked behind me to see if he was still chasing me, but he was gone. I turned back round to see where I was going but I tripped and was now falling down a dark hole.
"Aaaaaa!" I screamed hoping someone could hear me but I was too deep in the hole.
I continued to fall until I hit the bottom, hitting my head against the cold hard floor. I lay on the floor starring upwards towards the small light that was let in from the outside world.
"Ow…" I groaned sitting up clutching onto the back of my head as a throbbing pain pulsed in my mind.
My vision was blurred but in front of me I could see something white starring back at me, it jerked backwards and started to hop away, it was a rabbit.
'Wait…?' I thought to myself 'Where's it going? There must be a way out'
I crawled after it and came face to face with a small door, I slowly turned the knob and opened it to be welcomed by another door behind it.
'What the…'
I opened the door and crawled through and came face to face with the white rabbit again, it starred back at me before hoping off again through another door.
"Come back!" I called out after it, but it ignored me.
The doors seemed to be getting smaller and smaller as I crawled through them. The white rabbit kept hopping away, so I continued to chase after it. As I crawled through what seemed to be the last door, I was in the center of an overly large room. The tiles where white and black checked and the walls were painted red, there was a large table in the room and as I walked towards it, it got bigger and bigger.
"Whoa!" I exclaimed as I looked up at the massive table that stood in front of me.
A soft movement brushed past my leg and the little white rabbit run out in front of me running across the room to the door that was opposite me.
"Hey! Wait!" I called out again starting to get annoyed.
"Can't wait I'm late for tea!" The rabbit called back stopping in his tracks and pointing to his pocket watch.
My jaw dropped while the little white rabbit ran through the door, I was speechless.
'The rabbit can talk…?'
I shook it off and continued to chase after the rabbit, I ran through the door and on the other side I was greeted by a hallway and the walls was filled with mirrors. I walked down the hallway casually starring in every mirror as I walked past it, I stood in front of a mirror and interested me, I was standing there standing face to face with myself and there was a boy standing by my side one hand placed on my shoulder, I tried to see who he was but his face was blurred. I walked closer to the mirror to see if I could get a clearer look but the image became blurrier and blurrier.
"Don't get to close!" A voice warned me coming from behind me.
I turned around and stood face to face with the little white rabbit.
"You get to close the mirror can suck you in, I've seen it happen" He carried on.
"What's you name?" I asked curiously walking towards him.
He looked at me for several minutes before blinking and answering my question "Soul"
"Soul…" I nodded "Where are you going?"
"Tea" He pulled his pocket watch out of his pocket showing me the time "I'm late!"
He placed it back in his pocket and took off once again, I ran after him running right behind his fluffy tail as he hopped along the floor.
"Wait!" I said breathing heavily "Let me come with you!"
He didn't reply he just kept hopping along, before I knew it I was standing in the middle of a dark forest. The light sky had turned to dark black and the humming of the birds was missing from the tree tops.
'Am I out…?'
"Meow. Hello" A voice from the trees said.
I span around but there was no one or nothing around me "Who's there?"
"Meow. Up here"
I looked up and sitting on a branch in a tree was a purple cat wearing a black witch's hat.
"Oh hi" I stuttered clutching hold of my arm.
The cat jumped down from the tree and landed in front of me "My name's Blair"
I crouched down I front of her stroking her soft fur "Hi Blair, my name's Maka"
She blinked and looked at me as if she was in shock "The Maka?"
"What…?" I asked confused. I stood back up off of the ground "What do you mean 'the'"
She ran past me running through the bushes "Come! You're late for tea!"
I ran after her "Where are we going?"
"Worry about that when we get there!" She huffed and continued to run forward.
The sound of faint voices in the distance were getting louder as we got closer, we ran past a bush and as we did the sounds of giggling filled the forest.
"Liz, Patty!" Blair called standing in front of the bush.
"Yeah!" A blonde haired blue eyed girl jumped out of the bush and starred face to face with me for a moment before a darker haired girl appearing at her side.
"Maka" Blair looked up at me "Meet Liz and Patty also known as Tweedledum and Tweedledee"
"Maka?" Liz's eyes widened and stepped closer to admire me "Is that really you?"
"What's going on?" I asked starting to get freaked out "Who are you people?"
Patty looked up at me with sad eyes "You don't remember us?"
I let out a deep long sigh and shook my head "No, I'm sorry"
They looked at the ground in despair before Blair continued on running forward "Come on!"
Liz and Patty chased after her and then me, we continued on running through the bushes one behind the other.
"Well at least The Mad Reaper will be happy to see you" Patty giggled.
"The what…?" I questioned "Whose he?"
Liz let out a sad sigh "You don't even remember him?"
I looked down at the ground watching my feet run in front of the other "Was I suppose to?"
"Let's just say, don't say anything that may hurt him" Blair said with a sad tone in her voice.
I felt sad about that I had met these people before but I couldn't remember them, who was The Mad Reaper?
"Were here!" Patty cheered in excitement.
Blair ran through the leaves and disappeared leaving me Patty and Liz on the other side, Liz and Patty smiled at each other before pushing their way through the bushes too. I was left on my own listening to their voices.
"Reaper…?" Blair's voice sounded distinctive.
"Blair please. Leave me alone" This voice was different, it sounded male and sad.
"We found her!" Patty's voice blurted out "We found Maka"
"What…?" His expression changed, it sounded relieved.
"But the thing is Reaper" Liz said sadly "She doesn't remember you, she doesn't remember anyone"
"Oh…" His voice went back to sad again "Okay, but it is her?"
"It's her" Blair giggled.
"Well, where is she?"
"One second" Liz and Patty called.
They walked back out of the bush and grinned at me, Liz took hold of my hand and pulled me through the bush, on the other side there was a long table, sitting at it was the white rabbit from before Soul, and sitting opposite him was a new blue rabbit, he was rolling around laughing hysterically and sitting at the top of the table was a young boy, he had jet black hair with three white stripes in the left side of his hair but not on the right. He seemed extremely happy to see me, the smile of his face said it all. His skin was light pale and he wore a dark black suite.
"Maka" He took a step closer towards me "I'm so glad to see you!"
He threw his arms around me pulling me into an embrace, I placed my head on his shoulder as I felt one of his tears running down the back of my neck, I didn't remember who he was but for some strange reason I didn't wanna pull away from the hug.
He stepped back to look into my eyes but his smile faded "You really don't remember?"
I looked around the forest I seemed to remember it somehow "I sorta remember this part of the forest"
The blue rabbit started jumping around on the table continuing to laugh, he picked up a china cup and threw it in my direction "You're late for tea!"
Before the cup could smash against my skin, the boy put his hand out and caught the cup inches away from my face. The blue rabbit wrapped his arms around his waist and fell off the table still laughing.
"Black*star…" Soul sighed "Calm down"
The boy standing in front of me and held his free hand out "Well anyway, my name is The Mad Reaper but you can call me Kid"
I accepted his hand and shook it gracefully letting the smile widen on my face "Nice to meet you. Kid…"
