Hey guys I'm back with chapter 4! I haven't been really busy lately so that's why I've been updating fast. Not that I don't have I life! I do...I have a life... -Hides in emo corner- yeah... enjoy...
I woke up the next morning in the Hatters Mansions guest room. Last night Nightmare had told me all about Wonderland and the territories, the random time changes and a potion I had to drink or would disappear. (So basically all he told me is how messed up this place is... I think I might like it.)
I looked at the bed side table and there sat the very drink that wasn't there when I went to bed, the creepy incubus had told me to drink it when I got up. It was a clear blue in a glass vile bottle. I really didn't like the idea of disappearing, he didn't tell me what would happen so I'm not sure if I would die if I didn't drink it or go back to my world but, I didn't want to test that out.
I picked it up eyeing it. I mean what if it's some kind of trap and its poison! Should I really trust an incubus?
...
"What do I do?" I groaned, I was confused, you see I've never been good at taking orders I just end up thinking about them too much.
After much arguing with myself out loud I decided if what demon man said was true I might die by disappearing, if its poison I die, either way it seems I could die and I really wanted to know what the strange liquid tasted like...
I took the top off and drunk the strange liquid till the bottle was empty. It was a strange taste like bittersweet. Then there was a knock on my door.
"...Yes?" I said out loud not certain what to say. I never really was one to knock so when other people did it I felt awkward, I mean why knock? I didn't get it.
A maid walked in, she had short brown hair and- well, no eyes at all! So that's what Dum and Dee meant, Nightmare did tell me about the people called faceless but not that they didn't have actually faces! But, I guess I should have seen that one coming.
"Forgive me Lady Skylar, but I just came to give you some new clothes rather than you wearing the same thing from yesterday" She said kindly, I guessed if she had a face she would smiling.
"Thanks! And you don't need to call me 'Lady.' Skylar is just fine." I replied taking the clothes happily. I didn't like how she called me by formalities like I was higher than her.
"Oh I couldn't possibly do that! That wouldn't be right..." she said frantically waving her hands out in panic.
"I don't care. But, if it's such a big deal... well, what's your name then?" I didn't fully understand why it wouldn't be right with her calling me my name, where role holders and the faceless really that different?
"I don't have a name miss, no faceless does." She explained like it was normal to her. I couldn't believe they didn't have names, no one told me about this just that they where the workers here.
"Well... I don't have anything to call you so, can I name you?" I asked smiling, the way I said 'can I name you' sounded creepy like naming a pet or something.
"Name me? Ah, Lady Skylar I don't know, were not really-" she started to say but I interrupted her.
"I'll call you Maria? It's easier to name you something rather than nothing, please~" I pleaded with the best puppy dog eyes I could give her.
She stared at me for a while then gave in "Okay, if it makes you happy Lady Skylar."
"Result! Thanks Maria!" I cheered doing a fist pump. I was really happy she let me, I didn't like the idea how she wasn't given a name, how do these people live like that? It's so...sad.
"No, thank you, goodbye." She said politely bowing and leaving me to get dressed.
I finally saw what clothes they had supplied me with to my terror it was a dress. I hated dresses, there uncomfortable and frilly...
I frowned and reluctantly put the frilly mess on myself. It was a light gray with an apron pocket on the skirt and was layered underneath to give it the puffy effect. It wasn't as bad as I thought but I felt stupid and misplaced, like, I dressed up as Santa and it turned out to be Easter. Which I did do one time, but that's only because I couldn't find my bunny costume!
I pulled my hair into a messy side pony tail and kept my combat boots not liking the heels that had come with the dress and walked out of the room to start a new day.
I didn't really know what to do know, Incubus man didn't tell me, so I decided to go outside to see if the twins and Elliot were out and there they were in front of the gate.
"Nee-san!" Dum and Dee cheered hugging me nearly suffocating me, they didn't understand personal space do they.
"Hey guys...invading personal bubble." I said uncomfortably, yesterday I let it slide because they stopped me getting shot but today is a different situation.
"Huh?" the twins said not letting go and just looking confused.
"She meant let go." Elliot said pulling the twins off me.
"Stupid Rabbit! Don't get in the way!" the twins yelled frowning at Elliot who yelled back "I'm not a rabbit!" They were at it again...
I stood there awkwardly spacing out ignoring there fighting when I thought of something. "Elliot?"
He turned to me tilting his head "Yes?" the way he said that I couldn't believe he was the same person who tried killing me.
"If you're not a rabbit then what are you? Are you a hare by any chance?" I wondered out loud, if he says he wasn't a rabbit, he can't be the demon rabbit that got me down here and hares have similar ears like a rabbit.
Elliot then blushed his ears twitching "I s-suppose so." Again, is this the same person who tried killing me?
"Oh look brother, he's turning red." Dee said stage whispering.
"He's probably having dirty thoughts about our nee-san." Dum replied loud enough for Elliot to hear them who turned redder as did I.
"I wasn't I swear! Don't be so rude you brats! I would never do that to Skylar!" he started blurting out panicked as the twins just snickered.
"Um...i think I'm going to go for a walk, you know getting to know wonderland, bye!" I said turning away from them ignoring Elliot who was yelling he did no such thing and the twins tormenting him that he did, truthfully, I didn't want to find out if he was or not.
I was walking aimlessly once again, I didn't have a map so what did you expect I end up here and they gladly say 'here have a map! Enjoy your time here!' or something? No so I'm just winging it trying to find someplace interesting.
"Ah! Save me chu~"
"Huh- Hey!" I yelled startled to find a running boy hugging my back who looking awfully scared of something. He had bright orange hair with red highlights with a hat and wore a green coat with a cream shirt that was cut diagonally at the bottom. He also had these big brown ears and a small tail poking out from under his coat.
"D-don't let the big cat eat me chu." He stuttered gripping on to me tighter, now, if I couldn't get more confused on what was happening we get yet another animal boy.
"Time for lunch mouse~" a pink cat eared man teased to the boy who was clinging on to me for dear life. The pink cat teen outfit had a punk vibe to it consisting the colours of black, pink, red and gold. Also he had a cats tail swaying from side to side which had a fish charm piercing on it.
"Don't let him eat me chu!" the mouse boy yelled. I felt awfully sorry for him, maybe because it was something that my cat would do as well.
"Leave him alone! You can't walk around eating people!" I glared at the pink cat man protecting the mouse boy who was crying slightly.
"Huh? I haven't seen you around before, and you're a role holder, you must be the new foreigner everyone is talking about! Interesting I'm Boris" The punk cat said smiling at me seeming like he forgot the crying mouse. Really, it seems Wonderland had animal people who change moods quickly.
"I'm Skylar, nice to meet you." I said smiling confusingly at him; I was starting to get a headache with all this.
"Now, can I please have that mouse back?" he asked innocently to me very bluntly might I add.
"What? No! You're going to eat him!" I yelled at him, I didn't like how cats always try to eat mice now it's in a new level!
"That's what cats do. Please~" Boris asked again smiling but glaring at the mouse who was shivering, saying things like 'I don't want to die' and stuff.
"Well, you're half human so that's not an excuse." I said narrowing my eyes. I admit I love cats but what I'm seeing is so mean! Poor little mice person thing.
Boris muttered "Fine..." and I sighed with relief.
"Oh thank you chu! You saved me! I'm Pierce by the way chu!" The mouse boy said now smiling and happy, again with the personality changes people.
"That's okay Pierce" I said smiling, he was so cute! Its a nice change with seeing a live mouse then a dead one like my Dinah would bring me.
"Hey, have you been to the amusement park yet?" Boris said happily to me but still shooting glares at Pierce.
"Amusement park? Not yet, sounds fun though." I answered, an amusement park sounded fun, I've never been too good with some rides but that never stopped me before.
"Well let's go! I'll show you around there!" Boris said cheerfully taking my hand and dragging me to the way the amusement park was leaving Pierce who was waving goodbye to me.
So thats chapter 4! next chapter will be about the amusment park. Also review and tell me who skylar should meet next and if you have any other ideas just say. :) well thats all bye
