Cheshire's eyes widened as the deep fog rolled away, a deep murky woods surrounded him, the trees were nearly 90 feet in height and had very thick trunks; the lowest branch was at least 7 meters up in the air. It wasn't very bright, quite murky in fact, a strange blueish mist settled around him. He slowly stood and glanced around him, "Niko..? Pikotana! Is anyone there!?" the sound of something moving through the tree branches attracted his attention, "Hello..?" he backed up against a thick trunk, "wh-who's there!" his voice was frantic, "please help me..." he coughed and threw up a bit of crimson red blood.

When he finally stopped throwing up, he raised his head up, "It's alright now, okay..." he heard the sound again directly above him. He spun around, backing away from the tree; he saw a black shadow slip into the branches of the tall tree, "show yourself!" he hissed, sounding more brave then he really felt.

A young girls face peeked out from behind of a thick branches a good 25 feet in the air, she clung tightly to the tree, "who are you?!" she had long blood red hair which came just past her waist, midnight black eyes with white irises, deathly pale skin, that seemed to be slightly grey, and long black finger nails, "ANSWER!"

Cheshire stood frozen, gaping at her, his eyes widening, "gk- gk- gk-" he put his hand to his mouth and began puking blood again, the ground became stained with red, 'This is so unnatural... why... why won't this stop!?'

Once Cheshire was finally able to stop himself from coughing up any more blood, he was on his knees, shaking and panting slightly. With some effort he lifted his head and said, "Wh-what are you?"

"Answer," the girl shreiked, "you didn't answer me!" she cat-cried at him.

"I-I'm Cheshire..." he stuttered, "I mean you no harm!" he back away, "I'm part of the Alice Cadre which-"

"WHO ARE YOU!?" she was seething, "answer me correctly, you moron!"

"Wh-what do you mean? I just told you!" Cheshire cried, he felt his throat tighten.

The girl jumped from the tree and landed, perfectly unharmed, crouched in front of Cheshire; she wore an all black catsuit, which covered all of her body from her toes up past her mouth and to her nose, "no, that's you're name and... occupation," she stood, her head hung oddly, "who you are is..." her eyes trailed all over him, "strange... complicated... and..." she snapped her fingers, "you will be Curious..." her hostile look disappeared and was replaced by child like charm, "that's okay, right..."

Cheshire stared at her, "uh... y-yeah," he looked over the odd girl, "and you..?"

"Unsound... delirious... deranged..." she declared, "my name is Eerie, by the way," the girl tucked her hair behind her ear.

'Eerie..? Delirious..?' Cheshire lowered his head, 'how interesting...' he still was unsure of the girl and her meaning of 'who', but he thought it wise not to mention it, "where am I, I seem to be lost..." 'sort of...'

"Kirnyarhk Forest," said Eerie, "located at the South end of our here the Underland, you see, and quite close to Yamaochiimi too!" she said matter-o-factly.

Cheshire nodded slowly, 'The Underland..?'

Eerie began walking away, "Come on, come with me while I make rounds, 'kay?" she glanced over her shoulder, "and tell me more about yourself..."

Cheshire inhaled, "Okay, miss Eerie..." he followed behind her, 'Gah... what is this feeling... my head is so hot...' he looked at Eerie, '... and I feel so uncontrollable...'

NASHI! NASHI! NASHI! Haha I'm sure next to nobody will get my little pun/joke up there, but that's fine 'cause I'm still laughing!
