Nami- Welcome back! In our last chapter, we found Sora! Where is he? Where are the others going? When will I stop questioning you with things that you might not know?

Kairi

Kairi rushed to the sphere that had Sora in it. Sora didn't seem to respond.

"What's wrong with him?" Kairi asked.

"He can't see or hear anyone," Ansem said smiling.

Kairi frowned, remembering that Riku liked Sora. "Sora is the one that took Riku away," Kairi thought.

"Why is he here though?" Kairi asked Ansem.

"He's here for bait. Riku will want to come if you have something that he wants," Ansem said, smiling. "Also, you can hurt him even more by him having the knowledge that you have Sora and not him."

Kairi smiled evilly at that thought.

"What do I do now?" Kairi asked.

"Come and I'll tell you," Ansem said with a wicked smile creeping across his face.

Riku

"We're in Wonderland," Leon said, as he stopped the ship. They all got up, and climbed out of the ship.

Riku staggered off of the gummi ship, not feeling so well. I preferred traveling through portals before…

The others were off of the ship, and they stopped. So did Riku. Wonderland was… worse than before. Way worse.

It was night time, and that's all that you could tell that was even partially the same. The moon was turned upside down. They were in a courtyard of sorts. Croquet flamingos were speared into the ground; card soldiers were impaled and left on sticks. The grass was green, stained red with who knows what. Riku stepped forward a little, and bent down. He found a broken pocket watch.

Iris smacked Riku, and took the watch. "Who did this…? Why?" Iris stuck the pocket watch in her pocket, and got on all fours before running off.

"Where is she going now?" Cloud asked. Leon shrugged. "She's probably upset. This was her home world anyways," Leon said, walking around.

What they saw as they walked appalled them even more. They found a cottage, and there was also Iris. She was sitting on a table that had red stains all over it. There was a singed green hat, a half tea cup, and all of the other tea cups were smashed. There was the body of a dead door mouse in a broken sugar bowl, and Iris was petting its head, cooing to it in some language.

Aerith walked up to Iris. "I'm so sorry," Aerith said. That's when Iris pounced at her. Leon shot his gun blade at Iris, and hit her ribs. Riku's eyes were wide open in shock. Iris yowled, and ran into the cottage, phasing through the door.

"What happened here?" Thorn asked, clinging to Zorn's arm, almost in tears. Zorn was on the verge of tears as well, but didn't show it as much. Cheza looked at the entire scene in sympathy, but she didn't cry. Yuffie didn't speak, and she was pale as a ghost. Aerith was passed out in Cloud's arms. Leon was cursing wildly.

"Should we go after her?" Riku asked.

"No. Let her calm down first. And let me finish cussing," Leon said.

Iris

Iris was in a dark area. There was only a pale white road, the rest was pitch black. She kept running on all fours, shouting a person's name in another language.

She got to an old house. She burst through the door, and past some stairs and down a hallway. She came to an area that looked like a living room.

"That was not part of our deal Ansem!" Iris shouted, pouncing on Ansem as he sat in an armchair.

"But it was never agreed to not be part," Ansem said, smiling.

"My father living was!" Iris shouted, tears of rage and sorrow forming in her eyes.

"He wouldn't let me achieve my goal dearie, so he had to be terminated," Ansem said.

Iris clawed Ansem's face while screeching in rage.

"You shouldn't have done that," Ansem said, glaring. He touched her shoulder, and she started to have this cold feeling. Iris started to convulse as her body's temperature plummeted. She was cursing in another language, and her tears started to freeze on her face. Her fur was starting to get frost over it. Ansem started to laugh. "I have had enough pleasure. Now go back and fulfill our deal," Ansem said as he left the room.

Iris gasped as her fur was defrosting. She stayed there, crying for a few minutes before getting up.

Riku

Leon finally stopped cursing, Aerith woke up, Yuffie got color back into her face, and the twins finally stopped crying.

"Where's your keyblade?" Cloud asked. Riku waved it at him. "Unlock that door with it," Cloud said, pointing at the door that Iris phased through about twenty minutes ago.

Riku walked over to it, and stuck the keyblade into the keyhole. He turned it and heard a light click, knowing that it was unlocked.

Riku opened the door and the others followed.

There was a black table in the middle of the room with wilted black roses in a vase, and a bottle of liquid with a small chest next to it. There was a bed that was split in half, and a shattered dresser. There was a small, blood red door with a black handle on it. Iris was in the corner, in fetal position, rocking back and forth with her ears flat on her head and her tail twitching, murmuring something that Riku couldn't hear.

Riku walked to the table as the others explored the room, looking at things. Cloud walked over to Iris, and started to comfort her.

Riku looked at the bottle. There was a tag on it that said 'Drink Me' and the small chest had a tag that said 'Open Me.'

Aerith walked over to Riku and looked at the bottle. "I wouldn't trust that, since we have no clue what's in it," Aerith said to Riku. Riku nodded, and walked to the door. He kneeled down and looked at the doorknob. Riku got shocked when eyes on the doorknob opened.

"Yes," said a droned, depressed voice coming from the keyhole. Riku saw a small purple speck under the left eye of the doorknob. Zorn walked over to the door, and looked at it. "Why is the doorknob talking?" Riku asked Zorn, hoping that she would know. Zorn shrugged.

Riku heard scuffling on the floor, and saw Iris crawl over to the doorknob. "What happened to dormouse? Why won't he move? And where is father?" Iris asked the doorknob as she clutched the cold, immobile body of the door mouse.

"The Cheshire Cat was killed by someone, and after that, things attacked. Everyone was killed," the doorknob said, looking at her. Riku scooted a bit out of the way incase Iris started to freak out. Iris's eyes were wide, and tears were forming in them.

"No! No! This didn't happen!" Iris said, crying. She set the door mouse on the table. She grabbed the vase, and threw it.

Cloud rushed to her. "Calm down Iris," Cloud said, attempting to pacify Iris. It didn't work.

"Father couldn't have been killed! No!" Iris shouted, tears pouring down her face.

Cloud dragged her to a window, and pointed at the moon. "He's gone. There's nothing that we can do about it," Cloud said. Iris screeched when she saw the upside-down moon. "He can't be there! No! When he's in the sky he's happy, not sad! He doesn't frown in the sky!" Iris shouted. The others were looking at her, feeling helpless.

Iris got back into fetal position, sobbing.

"Let's go," Leon said as the others walked out the door except Cloud. "I'll stay with her," Cloud said, sitting down, trying to talk to her.

Nami- Wow! I made this chapter longer than usual to make up for my last few chapters. Why was Iris talking to Ansem? What deal were they talking about? What actually happened to Wonderland? You'll find out in the next chapter of Angel of my Eternal Nightmare.

I want to get one thing straight: Cloud and Iris DO NOT like each other! They are just really good friends!
