Chapter 4
~Shae's POV~
"Here, drink this rather than coffee," Theo said holding out a cup of tea.
"Is there any specific reason?" I asked.
"Well, tea is better for you and caffeine tends to make the medicine take longer to kick in," Theo said.
"How do you know that?" I asked.
"I read the label," he said.
"Alright, I guess," I said taking the tea from him and praying to god that it tasted decently or else I wouldn't be able to drink it.
I sat down and quickly tossed the pills in my mouth before taking a gulp of tea. It surprised me at the flavor. It was strawberry and vanilla. I absolutely loved that flavor, but I don't recall ever telling them that. Either they knew something I didn't or I must answer questions in my sleep.
I just sipped away at my tea happily until Benjamin came in with breakfast that consisted of eggs, bacon, toast, and fried potatoes. It was amazing and the best I've ever eaten.
Once we were finished I insisted on helping do the dishes. After that was finished we went back to the bedroom so that we could get dressed. I pulled on my outfit from the night before and grabbed my purse. On the way I pulled out my phone out of curiosity and found that I had fifteen missed texts and six missed calls.
-U done yet?- Chris sent.
-U want me to join you?- Jake sent.
-Coming back in?- Meg sent.
-Where r u?- Chris sent.
-Did u go back home?- Jake sent.
-Where the hell did u go?- Meg sent.
-Are you in the alleys?- Chris sent.
-Did u just get jumped by the gang?- Jake sent.
-What the fuck happened to u?- Meg sent.
-Alright I want an explanation now!- Chris sent.
-Txt us soon!- Jake sent.
-Dude, if we don't get a txt soon we're going to turn u in as a missing person!- Meg sent.
-Call or txt by three this afternoon or I'm turning u in as a missing person!- Chris sent.
-Call or txt we're frantic hun!- Jake sent.
-Seriously txt me asap!- Meg sent.
I got two calls from Chris, two from Jake, and two from Meg. I was just about to send them all a text telling them that I was fine when Theo popped up beside me.
"Whatcha doing?" he asked.
"I was just answering a few texts my friends sent me last night. They're getting a little frantic since I just kinda disappeared without a trace last night," I said.
"Wait you have a phone and it actually works?" Chesh asked.
"Yeah, why do they not usually work?" I asked a little confused.
"Not usually no," Chesh said.
"Go ahead and text your friends so that they don't get too worried," Benjamin said.
I nodded and quickly sent a text, -Guys I'm fine. I did in fact get cornered in an alleyway last night by the gang, but I'm completely fine. Believe it or not I fought my way out and fell down a hole. I can't tell you where I am because you wouldn't believe me. Love Shae-
-Dude, u finally txt us! OMG u got it right on the fucking nose. I swear Chris was just on his way out the door. About where u r there's nothing u can tell us that we won't believe hun. We've seen weird shit happen around u before who's to say it didn't happen again?- Jake text back.
-Alright believe it or not I'm in Wonderland. Although here they call it Underland. Where you guys are is Upperland,- I text back.
-Holy shit! U serious? Ur seriously in Wonderland?- Jake text.
-Yeah, and I have to say that the characters don't all look like the book and movies describe them as. For one as far as I've seen the only one they have right is the March Hare and the Mad Hatter,- I text back.
-Ooos, what do they look like?- Jake text.
-Well the Cheshire Cat looks human for the most part. He's got cat ears, a tail, and claws, and his hair is pink and purple. The White Rabbit, aka Theodore, is again mostly human. He's got rabbit ears and feet and white hair. The Mad Hatter also goes by Benjamin,- I text back.
-That is so neat! So r u kinda busy right now or do u have time?- Jake text.
-We're on our way to see the White Queen to see if there's a reason why they didn't change appearances Oh I forgot to mention that the people here change appearances based on what those of Upperland choose to perceive them as,- I text back.
-That's cool. So u have time to kill while ur walking?- Jake text.
-Yeah, it's kinda quiet since no one's talking over here,- I text back.
-How do their asses look?- Jake text.
-Amazing! Chesh's looks like it was sculpted by the gods, Benjamin's is thin but muscular, and Theo's is cute as a button,- I text back.
-I wish I was there,- Jake text.
-So do I,- I text back.
-Oh, hey, sorry, but I uh, gotta go, uh Meg is messing with me and I'm gonna go jump her ass,- Jake text.
-Have fun,- I text back.
"So are they all caught up now?" Benjamin asked.
"Yup and Jake and meg are the same as ever," I said with a fond smile.
"How's that?" Theo asked.
"Their torturing the hell out of each other," I said adding a laugh to my smile.
"That's a good thing?" Theo asked looking horrified.
"Not physically Theo, sexually," I said quickly to help him understand.
"Oh, I see," Theo said though he still looked a little confused.
"You don't know what that is do you Theo?" I asked.
"No, is it pleasant?" he asked.
"Yes, at least until the other person stops then you feel like killing them," I said.
"What?" he screeched.
"Okay maybe not the best figure of speech Um, let's see, yes it feels good but when the other person stops you're left there hanging and you know what I mean right?" I asked.
"You want to hurt them?" he asked.
"Yeah, even if you aren't violent by nature," I said.
"And how would you know this my dear?" Chesh asked.
