After my encounter with Blood and tons of thinking, I decide to go explore the mansion. If I'm into exploring… I'll explore the rest of Wonderland as well. I got off my bed once again, took a deep breath , and opened the only door in my room. I was surprised as there was a man in an yellow tail coat, trimmed in black and purple, similar to Blood's wear. He had orange-blonde hair and usually large bunny ears. "Whaaat!?" I panicked. "B-b-unny m-man." I say without breath. I shut my eyes tightly then open them again. Still I see a man with bunny ears, "W-who are you?" I ask.

The man blinked a few times before answering. "I am Elliot March." He puffs his chest and introduces himself proudly. "You are?"

"Hazel Cuften." I smile warmly. "I'm staying here as a guest until I can find my way back to my world… And hopefully get my memories back." I explained to him.

His rabbit ears perk up. "Back to your world? You're an outsider like Alice?" He was very surprised.

"Y-yes… I'm an outsider." I answer.

I stared at his rabbit ears unconsciously. "Is there something wrong? You seem to be spacing out." Elliot asked.

"Uhm… Is it normal to have… Animal ears? I mean... Blood never informed me about… Hybrids of humans and… rabbits." I asked.

"It's normal to me. And I'm not a rabbit!" Elliot looked offended.

"Righhhttt." I said sarcastically, but Elliot didn't seem to catch it.

"So how can I help Hazel?" He asked. "You were on your way to somewhere right?" He asked.

"Yes I was. I just wanted to explore the house a bit. I mean, I should know where I'm going at least. If that's okay…" I said.

"Perfectly fine with me." Elliot smiled.

After exploring each room and the main parts of the mansion, Elliot began warning me of the places no to go. "Blood's room is off limits to those without permission. I will not hesitate to kill you." He said dead serious.

I gulped. "I- I understand." I wonder what Blood has in his room now that he brought this up.

"Also, please inform the maids or servants where you are heading if it's outside the house." Elliot said.

"Understood." It's like being told around by my brother. I quietly giggled to myself. "Hehe haha."

"Something funny Hazel? " Elliot seemed surprised.

"Haha, nothing! Just… When you ordering things around… It reminds me of my brother." I answered smiling.

"Oh…"

"He had that serious face like you." I said.

"I see. Well, I hope you return to him soon, you're fond of him, yes?" Elliot asked.

"Yeah…" I thought of a harsh time when my brother slapped me for disobeying him. "Yeah… Very fond…" I realized I was crying now. "Oh my bad." I started wiping my eyes.

"Hazel? Are you alright?" Elliot had his hand on my shoulder.

"I'm –I'm fine." I spook softly, hiding my tears.

"Oh, young lady. Elliot, did you make her cry?" Blood unexpectedly dropped in.

"N-Nonsense!" Elliot said.

"It's alright. He didn't do anything." I budged in. "I just had a sad memory of my brother. That's all." I spook honestly.

"I see… Hazel, would you be interested to join me and Elliot in our afternoon tea party with the leaders of this country? It'll be nice for you to get to know everyone." Blood offered.

"S-Sure!" So sudden? I'm not important to meet big leaders.

"Alright. I'll have the maid layout something nice for you to wear. Until then, have a nice day." Blood walked away as Elliot followed him.

"That's sure nice of him." I murmured.

"Malady. If it's alright, I'd like to see what dresses for you would be okay." A maid asked. She was faceless like the one this morning.

"Sure… Are you the maid from this morning?" I asked.

She seemed surprised. "Yes I am." She smiled.

We walked off to my room and were ready to pick out a nice dress.

Maybe being in this dream isn't so bad after all.
