Crona in Wonderland

*Do not own Soul Eater or anything having to do with Soul Eater

*Notes*: Fem Crona and will loosely follow the EXACT story of Alice in Wonderland (No adaptation is the same).

Chapter 1: The Road to Nothing

Crona laid in her bed casually looking at the ceiling. she couldn't sleep, she was too busy thinking. Her mother, Medusa the snake witch had been acting rather odd lately, almost kind? That wasn't like her mother at all. Crona wouldn't call herself a masochist but she was so use to her mother's usual scorns and evil personality.

She didn't like it but not because she wanted her mother to act cruel but because it seemed like a small yet growing misdirection for something to come.

Crona continued to pointlessly count the tiles of her bedroom when all of a sudden her door cracked open. she had been lying in the dark for quite some time so it was natural instinct for her sensitive eyes to avert themselves from the entering light. She was eventually able to look back at the door way. Her eyes widened as she realized that it was her Medusa Sama.

"Me-Medusa Sama?" she questioned squinting her eyes just to be sure that it was the snake witch.

"Yes child, it's me." Medusa said almost snickering. Why?

The snake walked forward, in her hands was an old book that literally looked as if Medusa had just pulled it out of some box in the attic (that analogy was more than the truth). She walked up to Crona's bed and sat down next to her forcing some tension on the pink haired girl. "Um, Medusa Sama?" she started. "Wh-what are you doing? What is that?"

Medusa smirked as she rose the book to let Crona fully see the front cover. "It's a book, Crona and quite an interesting one too." She came closer to Crona, the child was very much not used to this (Whatever it was). "I want you to read it Crona." she said softly.

Crona looked at her confused. She Wanted her to read it? Why, was a snake going to pop out and try to eat her? Okay maybe that's a bit much even for Medusa (thought Crona). "Um, Why? What is it, Medusa Sama?" this made Medusa's smirk look a little bit more like a kind smile.

"Well, Crona, it's a fantasy book called Alice in Wonderland. I want you to read it so you can tell me how it is. I've heard that it's quite famous so I wanted to give it to you so that you could read it. I'm sure that it would be nice to have something to read rather than just stare up at the ceiling and count tiles (she hit the mark)." Crona was stunned. Did those words really just come out of Medusa's mouth?!

After a moment of hesitation, Crona's eyes met with the cover of the book. Alice in Wonderland, huh? Crona had never heard of it but then again she knew not much of any media the world had to offer (I guess in a sick twisted sort of way Medusa a an overprotective mother). Medusa held it in front of Crona who continued to stare at it.

Medusa's smile faded. She looked at her child whom simply stared at the worn out book. But the snake's smile soon returned as s thought that Crona might be too confused to know how to react. Medusa came closer until her body brushed against Crona's causing the child to blush in confusion. "If you'd like I could read it to you, Crona." She said in an archly yet motherly fashion.

Crona's blush darkened as she quickly looked at her mother. "R-Really? Y-you'd read this to me?"

"Of course, silly. I'm your mom, I'll gladly read something to you if you'd like." she said with a kind smile. Crona's heart skipped a beat. She had noticed Medusa gradually grow nicer and nicer over the last few days but all of a sudden it was like she had forgotten about all the things she had done to Crona.

Crona clutched her arm. "Um...?" Medusa looked at her daughter confused by her body actions. "What's wrong, Crona?" Medusa asked with genuine curiosity. "N-Nothing bad is going to happen right? I mean nothing's gonna jump out and scare me will it?" this made Medusa laugh much to Crona's growing confusion.

"No, sweetie. Why would anything like that happen?" the words were enough to blow Crona's mind. Was Medusa Sama really trying to be nice? Or was it a trap? A trap? Even Crona was starting to think it was silly that Medusa was setting all those up just to have a screamer at the end of the book.

Crona's confusion started to fade as she thought that this was a nice moment waiting to happen and she couldn't help but want it to happen at this point. She accepted her Mother's odd and sudden gift in the form of what was being offered. she leaned in a little. "W-will you really read it to me?"

Medusa smiled once more. "Of course, honey. If you'd like me to."

Crona's lips formed a faint smile. "I...I think I'd like that."

Medusa chuckled faintly. "Great, then why don't we begin." she leaned closer to Crona and wrapped an arm around her pulling the child closer causing her to blush again. Medusa opened the book. "Alright..." she began. "Chapter one: the road to nothing (like I said: it LOSELY follows the EXACT story of Alice in Wonderland)."

Crona's faint smile grew. Her mother was actually being nice and kind to her, and enough for her to read to her like this. Crona also felt happy feeling no foreseeable threat from what was happening.

It was quite sometime later before Medusa eventually realized that Crona had fallen asleep in her arms. Medusa couldn't help but smile at the sight. She closed the book after placing a marker in her place. She got up and covered Crona up right before walking outside the door shutting it gently. "Sweet dreams, Crona." but sweet is not exactly the word to use for what dreams Crona would soon have but there's no way Medusa could know about that...right?

Crona tossed and turned. It felt so hot, she was burning up. The covers felt like they were trying to suffocate her. she twisted and contorted her body vainly attempting to force it out of the un-seeable position it was in. But when it almost seemed like she was on fire Crona forced herself up...Where was she?

She looked around but everything was black. eventually her sight returned to her just enough for her to just barely make out where she was. Her room. Odd. did she have a nightmare? No. She had no recollection of a nightmare, it was more like something was trying to "get" her but even that felt farfetched in comparison to what she actually felt.

She looked around trying to remember what the last thing to happen was...that's right, Medusa Sama read her that story but where was Medusa Sama now? Crona looked around but her mother was definitely not in the room and the time on the clock was further along than she remembered so she figured that she must have fallen asleep.

After a moment she laid her head back down and went to sleep...or tried to fall asleep. For some reason, no matter what position she got into, Crona couldn't get herself to sleep. after some tossing and turning, she sat back up and stared into space. She looked at the clock again: 4:00...

Not exactly the best time for her to wake up nor be unable to fall asleep again. The night was gone but sun rise seemed so far away. She sighed to herself and thought of what to do when she suddenly heard something...

It was a strange noise form the other side of the door that caught the girls attention. it sounded like a thud but it started to get louder and faster, as if someone was running down the hall getting ever so closer to her room. It was actually starting to scare her a little but the crashing BOOM sound that followed caused her to jump out of the bed.

After that was a long silence. Crona sat silently simply staring at the door. What was that?! Was it Medusa Sama? Was she hurt? Or was someone else in the castle? Either way Crona was scared. But if it was her Mother and if something bad did happen, Crona couldn't just sit there and do nothing. She slowly got out of bed and crept wearily towards the door.

She stood in front of the only thing keeping her from that outside hallway and put her hand on the knob opening it slowly. She peeked outside not noticing anything. She took one small step out and looked around. She gave a look of confusion. There was nothing around indicating that anything had been broken, so what was tat loud noise?

Crona stepped outside completely and looked around some more. She didn't see anything and she couldn't hear anything but she knows that she couldn't have imagined the noise she heard. As in offish though she stood (HAHA!), a new noise entered her range of hearing from behind her causing her to turn around swiftly.

She heard the fast footsteps of someone running down the hall, TOWARDS HER! Please be Medusa Sama an nothing more she thought to herself as she hugged her body in fear. The footsteps grew louder and faster, nearing her with every second, escalating her fear to it's peak. But what she saw as it finally came within her field of vision immediately changed her fear to confusion...

A young man with black hair accompanied by three white stripes dressed in a black suit zipped right past her. "Kid?!" she thought to herself. There was no doubt about it, that was kid. Of all the friends Crona had made at the DWMA, she had actually become attracted to Kid, next to Maka whom she was also attracted to. But there was something about Kid that she liked, something that she adored... But more importantly, WHY WAS HE RUNNING AROUND IN HER HOUSE AND...WHY DID HE HAVE RABBIT EARS!?

Yes. For some odd reason Crona could see rabbit ears on Kid's head. Where they fake or...or was she still dreaming. Either way she had almost failed to notice that he was about to run out of her sight. She snapped back to reality. "W-Wait, Kid!" she called out. "Where are you going?!"

Kid stopped at the opposite side of the hallway but rather than answering her question he just stood there. He then pulled out a small pocket watch from his coat. He opened it and eyed the time. "Oh dear, oh dear, at this rate I'll be late for sure." This confused Crona. He put away his watch and Ran off.

"Hey! Wait a minute!" she yelled as she ran after him. She made it to the corner. "Kid?! What are you talking about?! Late for wh-" she stopped when she saw that he was no where to be seen.

"But where did he.." she then heard something on the opposite side of the new hallway she had entered. There he was again checking the time. How on Earth did he get all the way over there. All she could hear him say was "oh dear, oh dear". He ran off yet again and she chased after him. What was going on?

Crona kept running and running for what seemed like hours. Shouldn't she have reached the end by now? She kept running and eventually...

Crona ran up and was met with an unexpected surprise. The Hallway ended and so did everything else. Without warning she fell into a bottomless darkness that came from nowhere. She screamed as she fell into the unexpected hole that had instantly appeared. She kept falling and falling. Where was Kid? Where was the bottom? Where was anything? She just kept falling until eventually...crash...

Well I hope you guys enjoyed the first chapter, I know I enjoyed writing it. Anyway, the next chapter will most likely be posted a day after this one is up and running. sorry if there weren't enough "Wonderland" moments yet but don't worry we'll get there.
