A/N: DISCLAIMER! I OWN NOTHING! (LITERALLY. I'M ONLY 13 SHEESH.) BTW, the first ten sentences are true.

It had been a very normal boring day so far. I got dressed, washed up, grabbed my bag, and listened to "Alice of Human Sacrifice" before I left to walk Ms. Jackie's dog, Gabe. I tied my hair into a simple ponytail and left.

When I got there, I put Gabe on his leash and started the walk. I jogged past Building A and noticed that there was this beautiful antique teacup filled with what looked like honey. Of course, I didn't taste it. What? Did you expect me to be like one of those other idiots you find in stories like this?

I preceded the walk like normal and occasionally stopped to check the time or pull Gabe out of a bush. When I had been walking the dog for about 15 minutes, I noticed a rabbit hole under a small, tree. Beneath the uncut daffodils and roots, I found a joker card.

Since I knew that story very well, I should have done the smart thing. Should have dropped the card and run back inside. Of course, in slides my adventurous trait, and down the nearly endless pit I dropped, passing marmalade bottles and antique dolls expectantly. Although I knew there were less appealing things below, I couldn't help being thrilled.

I hit the ground with a thud and screamed in pain. I had landed right on my butt, and trust me, when you've fallen that far, yeah it's painful. I rolled over onto my side and forced myself right-side up. From there, I just walked in whichever direction my feet took me.

I passed through beautiful woods with beams of sunlight breaking through here and there. "Meiko" I thought to myself. Whoosh. I heard something brush by me. "I-it's just a… a rabbit is all. Meiko… was …" I turned straight ahead and got myself back together. It was going to be a long time before I got out of her awful territory. "Why couldn't Teto be here with me right now? It would have taken a lot of edge off things." I started humming 'Kasane Territory' to keep myself calm (which wasn't working too well) and held my head higher than anyone in the history of high heads. Skrit- skrit- skrit. "What the heck?!" Something sounded like it was scratching concrete… or something. I started running- no SPRINTING. I didn't know what I was running from. I didn't even know WHY I was running from it. All I knew was… I wanted to keep my distance from it. I suddenly was greeted by a too-bright light and had to squint to keep myself from going blind. Once I came into focus, my heart dropped to my feet and I almost threw up. It was an unbearable sight for anyone. "OH MY GOD! MEIKO!"
