YAY! Second chapter up 8D *Personal-Accomplishment* Sorry last one was so short, it was meant to be more of a pilot (I guess?) Once again, I apoligize in advance for grammer issues or any spelling mistakes. OH, and I just watched Kuroshitsuji 2 episode 6, (SPOILER) That fight scene went from epic, to extremely gay REALLY FAST. First it was like, "*PEW PEW PEW* IMA KILL JUU!" to like... Spooning in the moonlight ಠ_ಠ Anybody think that was a little weird? BUT ONCE AGAIN, I'M OFF TOPIC. (Why do I talk about this stuff with ya'll again? xD)

Enjoy!

I get up, wipe the sleep out of my eyes and proceed to wobble to the bathroom. "Well THAT wasn't the most pleasant way to wake up..." I say to myself, while grabbing the nearest hand-towel and wiping my disgustingly sweaty face and neck.

I sigh and look at the clock "7am..." I grumble.

I usually dont wake up until after noon, but I guess this couldn't be helped. I fix my frilly, white night-gown and go downstairs. "Happy Birthday MariMari!" My mother says, literally tackling me to ground "H-Huh?" I say, still trying to recover from last night. "Don't tell me you forgot it's your birthday. Honey, I knew you were a bit of an air-head but-" "MOM!" She slightly nuzzles my cheek, getting her ginger pieces of hair in my face. I can't help but agree with her though, How can someone forget their own BIRTHDAY? Oh,yeah. I forgot I'M THAT SOMEONE. "Well, your fifteen now. I'm sorry I can't throw you some huge birthday-party. We just can't afford it right now..." For some reason, I didnt mind at all. "Mom it's fine. I didn't really want one anyway." She stands up "No, it's not fine! Every girl should be able to have the best birthday party on her fifteenth or sixteenth birthday!" I interrupt her "You said it yourself! Maybe next year!" "I swear Mari," She starts "Your so optimistic..." She says while ruffling my hair. I wasn't always like that though, when my father died...It was like the world itself was falling right under me. Nothing was ever the same after that. Not me, not my mom, not our personalities, NOTHING. And my first birthday without him, wasn't going to be the same either.

I spent the rest of the day exploring around our new house. I discovered that the hallway paintings' eyes DO in fact follow you wherever you go, Bats and dust-bunnies live in the attic, and the front yard has the most beautiful plants growing. The only thing I hadn't even considered going to was the backyard until I actually thought about it. I was probably just seeing things last night wasn't I? I decide to sit in front of the white roses and discuss it with them "What do you think Rose-bush? Do you think I'm just losing my marbles?" I say to them, acting as if they would actually respond back. I think I must be going insane if I actually consider making friends with bunch of plants. I get up and dust my jeans off "~OH MARI ADRIANA!" My thoughts were once again interrupted by mother. She has horrible timing doesn't she? I guess I can think about it later though...Its unimportant anyway.

By the time night fell over us, and I had my birthday dinner- Both me and my mother were already tired. My arms ached from carrying boxes and moving furniture, so I went up to my almost empty room, changed to my regular white night-gown and laid in my bed. Unfortunately, my curiousity got the best of me a decided to peek through the window "...So I guess I'm NOT going insane. It's still freaking there!" But...How was there a deep forest growing in the back, but not ONE tree in the front? I'm not some sort of Nature-Expert, so maybe that's...Normal? "No, that can't be right!" I speak aloud to myself, shaking my head. I really need to stop talking to myself! This constant pondering and trying to find logic in this, went on for what seemed like HOURS. Until finally, I came to the conclusion "I'm not getting anywhere with just sitting and trying to find logic behind this. If you want something, you have to get it yourself!" So with that thought in mind, I put on my white bunny-slippers, open the window and sneak out- Because I know mom would have a HEART-ATTACK if she found out I'm jumping out windows at a quarter to midnight.

I don't know what came over me, it seemed that the deeper I went- the more I came closer to becoming lost. No matter where I turned, everything looked the same. A tree here, a shrub there. It's like I'm just going around in circles, and eventually it started raining. It started as a drizzle here and there, but then came the storm and the strong wind. Frustrated, but not giving up yet- I keep trying my best to find my way out. My heart was beating as loud as a drum from running, my arms and legs ached still from before and tripping and getting up again. "WHY CAN'T I GET OUT OF HERE!" I yell at the sky. I kept running, until I finally trip for the third time. I just lay there in the leaves and dirt, crying and hoping that if there WAS in fact a God out there, that he could hear me. So, I close my eyes, and try to sleep despite my pain.

"Hey bitch! You awake? Come on, we aren't going to dispose of your body if your dead!" "Black!" "What? It's fucking true!" "Miss please wake up..." "Dumbass, Can you hear her clock ticking?" "I can check, but I've never seen her here before." "Do you think she's-" I open my eyes to the mysterious voices who I assume were talking about me, only to see two fire red-haired guys standing over me and...What on earth are they wearing? I groan out a response "What's going on...?"

"Well what do you know? Sleeping beauty is awake We-" The twin on the left responds, only to be inerrupted by the one on the right

"Sleeping BEAUTY! HA! She's more like a sleeping MESS! What the fuck are doing here in your shitting PAJAMAS?"

I look down at myself to see that I am in fact, a filthy mess. My night-gown has mud, dirt and other mysterious subtances on it- not to mention I'm missing one slipper. Great. Just. FREAKING. PERFECT. But still, who the hell does this guy think he is ANYWAY? "Your one to talk! Who the hell dressed YOU up this morning? You like you just came from the CIRCUS!" I spit out "WHY YOU LITTLE-" The calmer twin pulls his brother back and gets on eye-level with me "I'm extrmely sorry miss...I am White Joker, that is my brother The Black Joker. Who might you be?" "I'm Mari...Mari Adriana Vasquez." I mumble out "Nice to...meet you." I say, wiping the dirt off my face.

I look around and see actually see...a circus behind me? "May I ask where I am?" The White Joker replies "Your in Wonderland." I thought that place only existed in fairy-tales! Wait...Am I dead? Or have I gone insane? Maybe I'm just dreaming. To answer the question, I lightly pinch myself.

Ow! Okay maybe I'm NOT dreaming.
