"My heart pounding I ran though the abyss, various chains chasing me laughing those cynical laughs of mockery as they are about to grab you. I crash into a wall with no where to run my small pale hands clench into fists and I squeeze my eyes shut. But as one is about to stab me I fall into a hole, vanishing from the monsters I fall into a room with shelves lined with marionette puppets, porcelain dolls, and various other things like jack in the boxes. In the room a girl with long silver hair and pale skin is sitting down besides her there was a half human half cat boy. She looks at me as she lifts her head from the tea cup, "Hello, you finally arrived" she smiled innocently without a flaw. The cat licks the tea in his cup "You want to make a deal?" the girl says. "A deal?" I ask I only wanted one thing and that was impossible. She walks almost floating over to me and brushes the hair out of my eyes she frowns with the corner of her mouth. "Too bad you already have eyes Cheshire, hers would have made a wonderful substitute. Sliver almost white." she laughed. She lifted my chin up with her finger to look me in the eyes " You want your beloved out of the abyss. Don't you, Victoria?" She whispers to me in my ear as she gets up and circles me. "How do you know?" I ask drawing my sword that hung around my waist she was now sitting back on the couch sipping her tea. "I know," was all she said " You can have any wish you want you just need a contract Victoria." "I can?" I asked looking at her still gripping my sword. "Of course, you just need a chain... I'll send you back now to find one but here's a tip. He's already out of the abyss." With that I fell again on to a wet ground back where those chains where chasing me. I muttered an ouch and looked up to see a chain, it stood tall with blood red hair and lips to match the dress was white and on the waist there was a belt with a queen of hearts card. Her hair was in a bun and she looked down at me holding an ax "Care to make a contract?" she smirked down at me. "I demand a wish in return!" I said as I stood up the woman seemed to smile as she said okay "What's the wish then girly?" I yelled "I want Xerxes to be happy!" "Absurd wish, but now ask me "Oh please may I make a contract with you?" now ask me." She lifted my chin with her finger staring into my eyes. I gulped "Anything for Xerxes.." I thought I then said "Can I make a contract with you?" She frowned and rolled her eyes "You said it wrong!" and then I blacked out... I woke up at Pandora and everything happened from there."
I woke up sweating I clutched my heart and I breathed heavily. I guess I screamed during the dream because Sharon was on the side of my bed looking at me with wide eyes. I quickly said "Sorry I uh, it was just a memory..." I went in the nightstand and dug out a lollipop. She said Are you okay? But anyways there was letter for you at the door, it has your real name." she handed me a small letter. I grabbed it I immediately recognized the handwriting "Allan!" I cried in joy as I ripped it open. I scanned through and my hand flew to my mouth I grinned happily and grabbed Sharon in a hug. I quickly got up as I asked Sharon as I whipped out the few dresses I brought with me "What day is it?" "Uh April 3rd why?" I turned around and said wide eyed "He'll be here tomorrow!" She was still trying to catch up to me "Him? Wait do you mean Allan?" "Yes! He's bringing my siblings." I ran my fingers through my hair. "What time is it? 10:00 , you overslept our meeting." "Mrs. Sharon can you give me about five minutes tomorrow to get out of the house dressed as a girl, because I don't think my sister and brother are going to recognize me as a boy." She thought for a moment "Of course what time?" I grabbed the letter and read through it quickly "Around 11:25, he'll meet me in town around 12:00 so that will give me 35 minutes to get to the hotel where I'll meet them."She smiled "Consider it done."
The day was agonizingly long, Break kept giving me heart attacks as he popped out of no where. I smoked about a pack of cigarettes from nervousness and Alice yelled at me about smoking. But at the end of the day it was almost done and as I made my way to the loving bed that awaited me upstairs Break stopped me. I turned around to see a pale hand grasping my own I gulped, "Mr. Break please let go I wish to go to sleep." "Mr. Enright, I've been doing a little research and you were never born. So that leads me to believe you are a-" "Shut up Xerxes! You always think you're right but in this case you aren't!" I seemed to yell. His mouth was open with surprise taking the chance, I quickly jerked my hand away kicked him in the chest with my boot down the stairs and ran to my room. I slammed the door and locked it then I slide down it burying my head in my hands. After grieving momentarily I quickly opened the door to see Xerxes on the top of the stairwell "Sorry!" I said then shut the door. Without bothering to change I plopped into the bed and was swept into the world of my past.
Bad chapter? I know it was hard to adjust from the long flashback in the beginning to Victoria's day.. Plus I try to keep each chapter at least around 1,000 words (this was 1,042 words just made it) So sorry if it sucked.. I'm in the middle of writing other stories as well so I'm trying to dedicate an even amount of time to each one. So like always reviews are welcomed! So anyways bonjour! :D
