A drabble that was running through my head. Actually, this started out at seeing how fast I could type, and it turned into this. ^^; Don't really know how that happened, but here it is. (Btw, those of you waiting for Caged like a Bird, I'm sorry it's taking so long. The next chapter is almost done. I'll update as soon as I can.)
"Insane? Why on earth would you think that, love? I am not insane. I enjoy seeing others happy, that's why I make the cupcakes. They do make you happy, do they not? No? Well, why ever not? What are they made of? Well, love, I'm afraid that that's a secret only for me to know. Let's just say I made them with love. I do love you.
"What happened to those you came here with? Why do you think I would know? They must have wandered off, this world is such a dangerous place. Such a dangerous place. That's why I'm keeping you here, love, to keep you safe. We wouldn't want you getting hurt. Like the others, they're probably all dead because they wouldn't stay with me. They brought it on themselves.
"I'm sorry, that was a bit dark, wasn't it? Well, how about we forget this little talk and just have our lovely tea? Why aren't you eating? I made these cupcakes specifically for you, it would be rude not to eat them. Go on, I can assure you they taste great, the others who tried them simply died with how much they enjoyed them.
"You're not even drinking, love. Do you not trust me? What? The tea's a weird color? I assure you that it is wonderful tea. Here, I'll drink it to show you. See? It's just great. What is this about it being red? Oh, well, I suppose it does have a tint of scarlet, but why does that matter? Tea does not always have to be the same color, love. Come on, drink.
"No need to get excited. Sit back down, love, you are safe with me. Love, don't be so foolish, the door is locked. Well, if I left it unlocked something could get in, no? All I want is to keep you safe with me. Why won't you accept my protection? I assure you that I have no foul goals in my mind. This lovely meal is all I want with you.
"You're resisting me. You shouldn't do that, love. You're just like the others. They didn't want to stay with me either. I am not insane, love. I'm afraid you are the one who is confused. Out there is dangerous, in here it's safe, yet you still want to leave? I thought you were different. It turns out I was wrong.
"Now, I'm afraid, this will be your last cup of tea."
