The Pool of Tears
Disclaimer: Hey! It all belongs to Tamora Pierce, Lewis Carroll.
"Weirderer and weirderer!" said Kel, because she was now growing to an extraordinarily huge size.
"You ate me!" Yelled a voice from inside her tummy. And next ting she new the little cake was climbing up her throat and forcing its way out her mouth. "I can't believe you actually ate me! What did I ever do to you?" As it talked it seemed to be transforming.
It's icing was turning red and stringy. The rest of it was becoming body shaped and slowly it turned in to a person as big as Kel.
"Owen! What are you doing here? Why were you a cake?"
"I cannot believe you jolly well ate me! That's just jolly well not on!" With that he sat down and started to sob. His tears formed a giant puddle at his feet that was growing larger by the minute.
"You should to be ashamed of your self Owen, a big girl like you sitting there and crying!" Snapped Kel, she was getting worried about the amount of water filling the room.
"Did you just call me a girl?"
"Umm…no? I
don't think I did…"
"Yes you did!" But his accusations were cut off when they heard the sound of
pattering feet.
"Oh, the Queen, the Queen! Won't she be savage if I keep her waiting?"
"Neal? Said Owen "Why do you have ears and a tail?" Neal jumped at the sound of a giant voice and dropped the fan he was carrying.
"Owen? Why are you so big?" Kel didn't want to be rude and interrupt their talk but she had a very important thing to tell Neal.
"Neal!" She yelled "You…you…you made me follow you into this mad place, I'm probably going to be on punishment duty for ages and you got me covered in Orange Marmalade!" Kel then picked up the tiny fan and proceeded to try and hit Neal with it.
Owen looked at the enraged Kel then at Neal, he then promptly shrank himself and together he and Neal ran away as fast as they could.
Kel was getting very frustrated and because she was so big she couldn't catch them. They soon disappeared out a door, locking if firmly behind them.
"Gods this place stinks…" She muttered as she fanned herself to get some of the smell away.
This place must be getting to me…She thought. The smell and the fumes from the lamps were getting into her mind and before she could stop herself a poem popped out of her mouth
"How doth the little worrier
Improve his shining mail
He feels a whole lot sorrier
If he don't, and he should fail
How cheerfully he seems to grin
Before he runs you through
He says, "It's just a little pin
It won't go straight through you."
As Kel was saying this she noticed that she was shrinking, she concluded that the fan was doing this and tried to stop fanning but she couldn't! She kept shrinking down till she was too tiny to hold the fan in one hand, at which point she dropped it.
Fed up, Kel marched towards the door, determined to smash it down and get to the garden. But one the way she slipped and fell into the pool of tears that Owen had left.
"I do wish Owen hadn't cried so much! But at least all the orange marmalade has washed off." She muttered as she tried to swim to the shore, but it seemed to be gone!
Presently she heard a splashing and decided to swim towards it to investigate. She swam out a bit and saw some sort of animal the same size as her. It'll eat me! Kel thought as she tried to swim silently away.
Unfortunately the animal heard her and started to swim towards her.
"Jump?" Exclaimed Kel.
"Was it you who cried so much Kel?" He asked
"No! It was Owen!"
"Then you must lead us all to the land…" Jump stated, for many other animals had fallen in the water by this point. Some of them she knew, there was Peachblossum and Crown and many of her other sparrows, and lots of animals she didn't know.
So with the confused Kel in lead they all swam to the shore. And not for a long time did Kel think to ask what they were doing there, let alone how they could talk…
Authors Note: Hey! Wow, I'm updating within a week *Looks shocked* It's amazing!
The original poem thing that's in Alice in Wonderland is
How doth the little crocodile
Improve his shining tail,
And pour the waters of the Nile
On every golden scale!
How cheerfully he seems to grin,
And neatly spreads his claws,
And welcomes little fishes in,
With gently smiling jaws!
I'm just telling you all that because I think it's a really cool poem thingy, it's all like 'Look at me I'm an evil croc!' I make sense to myself…. Anyway, please review! Tell me if it's good, tell me if it's bad, tell me if you think I'm insane. Just please tell me something!
