Flowers Aren't Always Sweet:
Jack shook the soot off him and licked his paws to clean himself up. He then looked at the large girl and jumped over on her head to look out the window.
Patrick and Jeremy were discussing on how to get the so-called monster out of the Rabbit's house.
"Perhaps we should use a more… energetic remedy." The Dodo suggested lighting his smoking pipe once again.
"Sure! Anything but hurry!" the White Rabbit said as he hurriedly pointed at his pocket watch.
"I propose we..umm…." the bird man started to think of a way, that he had forgotten the lighted match in his hand. "Owwww!" he yelled in pain as the match burned his hand. "We should burn the house down!" an idiotic idea came to bird's mind as he began to break some of the wooden furniture and throw it on the face of the house!
"Oh no! Not my house!" Patrick panicked and tried to stop his friend.
"Oh No!" Gwen said ,a little scared of Jeremy's foolish plan. "What am I going to do!? I'm stuck!" she tried once again to pull the house off the ground, but it was secured to the earth.
"Here!" suddenly JC's tail appeared in front of Gwen's face! His tail was holding a small bottle that contained a purple liquid.
"What's this, Chess?" she asked, taking the vile with her giant fingers.
"It's a milk that the Mad Hatter made from many mushrooms in Tulgey Woods. I stole when he wasn't looking." The cat said the last part proudly.
"What's this gonna do?" Gwen asked, while examining the tiny bottle.
"Drink it and you shall find out." Chess said coolly.
"After everything that happened to me here, I'd rather starve myself to death than be experimented on!" Gwen said angrily, but she was right! Almost everything she ate in this world it always got her in to many unusual troubles!
Trot! Trot! Trot!
Trotting from the distance was heard by almost everyone in the Rabbit's house.
"Oh no! The Knave of Hearts! He's coming!" The White Rabbit panicked once again.
JC's eyes widened when he heard the horse trots and began to usher Gwen to drink the potion. "Come on! Drink it up! Hurry!" the cat boy opened the vile and tried to make the girl drink the liquid substance in his paws, but she refused!
"No Way! I told you I'd rather starve than eat or drink anything that'll change me!" Gwen said angrily, while Cheshire Cat frowned at her refusal then he got an idea.
*Chomp!*
"YOW!" Gwen yelled in pain as Kitty Cody bit her nose hard and shoved the whole bottle into her mouth!
Gwen swallowed the bottle whole and furiously grabbed the cat!
"YOU!" Gwen roared ferociously, but then noticed that Jack was getting bigger! Or was she getting smaller?
"What's going on!?" Gwen asked fearfully and held on to the Cheshire Cat's spiked collar, while still shrinking!
Gwen had stopped shrinking, but she still hung on the cat boy's collar.
"What's happening!?" She asked in her new tiny voice and looked up at the now giant cat.
"I told you to drink the milk. Didn't I?" he said calmly, as he reached his paws to grab the pale goth that was hanging from his collar.
"WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME!?" Gwen yelled at JC, who was still smiling wickedly and that horrendous Glasgow smile made it more wicked.
"Don't worry. You were as big that you filled this house. Now you are as small as a tasty mouse. It's life is always danger ,yet he's still an explorer! Go find the caterpillar and he shall explain this world's horror!" Chess said in rhyme as he told his next riddle to Gwen, who just frowned.
"Why can't you make sense!?" Gwen yelled.
"I'm not making sense!? Or you just don't want to listen." Jack said the last part calmly. "I may not be much, but I know more about anything than what you do in your entire lifetime." He said sinisterly. "Besides it's good to be this small. You can see things that cannot be seen by all."
*Neigh!*
A horse neighs near the rabbit's house! Both Jack and Gwen look out the window to see!
"It's the Knave of Hearts!" Chess says. "Quickly! We have to hide you!" the cat boy says fearfully trying to find a place to hide the small goth girl.
Gwen was scared at the mention of the Knave. Sure she hasn't met or seen him, but seeing the White Rabbit's reaction and the Cheshire Cat's horrific wound, she knew he was a force not to be reckoned with!
"Hide in my collar! I'll try to sneak you past the knave and into the forest. Once there search for a small dog and it'll take you to the caterpillar!" JC says as he hides Gwen in his spiky collar, behind his head, and went outside to see the Knave with a small army of white knights that resembled glassy chess pieces!
Gwen could see the knave and knights from behind the cat's head and her eyes widened at what she saw!
"That guy looks like… Duncan!" Gwen thought and she was right. The Knave resembled her alleged boyfriend back in the real world, except the knave had a short ,fully black hair, no Mohawk, an eye patch on his left eye with a broken, bleeding heart imprinted on it, and wore a black and red knight uniform. The knave was smiling… or smirking at the men near the Rabbit's house.
"Hello Chess." The Knave says to the cat as if they were best friends. "I see you're smiling. That must mean you're good." The Knave says sadistically as he eyed the nice wound he inflicted on the cat earlier.
"And I see you're still the queen's bitch. Aren't ya ,Deuce?" The cat retaliated as his smile grew wickedly and then stood close to a rose bush, with his back facing it.
Deuce furrowed his eyebrows and glared at Jack. The Knave approached the cat with a malicious expression.
"Where is the outsider?" he asked maliciously as he had a staring contest with the cat boy.
"How do you know I have an outsider?" JC Retaliated in a challenging tone.
"Cornwell saw her today.. She was in your territory." Deuce said.
"So? The Duchess must have eaten her ,with salt and pepper." Jack said, grinning mischievously as he rhymed.
"Not THAT territory, you imbecile!" The Knave yelled angrily. "I meant Tulgey Wood!"
Gwen peeked her head from behind the cat boy's neck. She saw the large chess pieces with blood drenched on their hard bodies, carrying multiple weapons, mostly medieval ones. But then something caught her attention! The Knave's horse! It was the same horse that she encountered in the woods the first time she came here!
"Your horse has corn for brains and yet you believe him!?" Chess asked rudely, but he was right!
"You are too close to losing your head!" Deuce said threateningly.
"Who said I can't lose my head now?" JC says mischievously as he grabs his head and… DETACHES IT FROM HIS BODY!
Upon doing so, the Cheshire cat's collar fell off with Gwen in it! The goth girl and the collar slid down the cat's skinny tail and flew in to the rose bush.
"Oof!" Gwen fell into the thorny bush. The blue haired girl got up and dusted her dress and her hair. "Oohh! That cat is so reckless!" Gwen muttered furiously to herself.
She looked around her to see everything was a thousand times bigger than she was. It kinda scared her.
"Oh God! What am I gonna do!?" Gwen complained. "What if a giant bird comes and carries me off for dinner!?"
"I don't think a scrawny dish like you would be appetizing." An unknown female voice said, which made Gwen jump in shock.
"Who said that!?" the goth yelled, trying to find the source of the voice. "Hello?" she said again wandering in to a field of variety of flowers. Some weren't even indigenous to the forest fauna.
Gwen noticed something peculiar in the field. It was a loaf of bread…
"Why is there bread in the middle of the forest?" Gwen asked herself, as she came close to the loaf, but suddenly…! The bread separated and flew away! The bread was nothing more than butterflies with bread-like wings and butter colored spots!
"Strange butterflies!" Gwen said . "Then again! It doesn't really surprise me." She remembered the fruit bat and the banana beaked toucan she met a while ago, only to be eaten alive by the Cheshire Cat.
She then remembered Jack's collar! Gwen went over to the large spiky collar and examined it.
"Name: Jack Cheshire. Owner: Wilhelmina, the Duchess. Dwelling:…." Gwen was suddenly interrupted as the collar was swept away from her. "HEY!" The collar was hung by a vine.
"How the hell did it go up there!?" Gwen yelled, then made her to a flower's stem and climbed it to retrieve the collar. "This is so bothersome." She muttered still climbing the flower.
"You know it's rude to violate someone's personal space." A haughty feminine voice said! The voice was very close to Gwen!
"What!?" the pale girl asked turning her head in different directions to find the source of the voice. "Who's there!?"
"You're on me." The same voice said, while Gwen looked strangely at the stem she was climbing and slowly began to look up to see the purple flower petals.
"Did.. you… just.. talk?" Gwen asked/ stuttered, pointing at the flower.
"Well of course I can talk." The flower answered with a usual haughty tone. "Would you mind getting off me!" the flower shook it's stem causing Gwen to fall down to its roots.
"OW!" Gwen yelled in pain, but she should count herself lucky that she didn't break anything.. well other than her butt.
"What a strange flower you are!" the purple flower said. (It looks like that purple flower from Disney's Alice in Wonderland. I think she's a Violet… I'm not a flower expert, if you haven't noticed)
"Huh!.. Oh no! I'm not a flower!" Gwen explained.
"Not a flower!" Another feminine voice said. It was a lily of the valley. "Could she be an insect? Is she good or bad for us? If she's bad get her out of here!" the same flower said quickly as she grabbed her lower leaves, lifting them up ,as if not wanting Gwen to touch her.
A large group of flowers suddenly became mobile and began to talk amongst themselves, and some of them were looking at Gwen rather nastily.
Gwen just looked at the group with annoyance. Some of those flowers reminded her of some of the girls back in the real world, some were on the show and some were in her hometown.
"What if she's with that monster that keeps digging our garden!?" A yellow daisy asked, which caught Gwen's attention.
"No it couldn't be! That creature doesn't seem to have any friends!" An old, almost wilted white rose said with a frail voice.
Gwen was getting annoyed with the flowers and their conversation, that she left, tiptoeing away from the plants.
The goth girl was somewhat far away from the flowers ,that she couldn't hear them anymore. She looked around to see something shining brightly.
It was a red rose! A very beautiful one! It looked so healthy and lush, that would put any garden to shame.
Gwen was gawking at the beauty of the rose. Something that was out of character for her, but this whole experience can make anyone forget about their image and just try to survive. The pale girl was walking towards the red rose, she reached her hand to touch the rose, but suddenly…
ROAR!
The rose moved! It opened its mouth to reveal its thorny teeth! The Red Rose looked at Gwen and began to fire thorns at her from out of its mouth!
"CRAP!" Gwen yelled as she ran behind a rock. The rose monster was still firing at her, that the thorns were starting to break the rock!
"WHAT AM I GONNA DO!" Gwen thought frantically.
*CRACK!*
The rock broke, making Gwen run for dear life!
"Good thing that thing doesn't have legs!" Gwen said to herself in relief ,but her relief didn't last long. The rose's roots suddenly erupted from out of the ground and began to use them as legs!
"Maybe I should just shut up!" Gwen said to herself, angrily!
The pale skinned goth returned back to the garden where she met those odd flowers. The flowers were still going at it, but stopped when they heard a roar! The group looked around and yelled.
"IT'S THE BLOOD ROSE!" a daisy yelled and ran away!
"YOU!" The same haughty violet, Gwen met, had pointed at her, accusingly! "YOU BROUGHT A BLOOD ROSE HEAR! YOU IDIOT!"
"What!" Gwen asked as she looked at the flowers running away, not noticing a thorn suddenly fired at her!
"OWW! DAMN IT!" Gwen yelled in pain, clutching her shoulder, where the thorn hit and took it out! Her wound was deep and bleeding, that the blood reached to her hand and to the ground!
The Blood Rose suddenly perked up and ran towards Gwen! The goth girl got up and ran off before the rose monster could get her, but then again it didn't look like it would chase her! The rose reached its head down and licked Gwen's blood that was staining the ground with its vine like tongue!
Gwen looked at the creature with wide eyes! It was attracted to her blood!
"CRAP!" Gwen cursed again as she found out why the monster suddenly perked up! She tried to stop the bleeding, but it was no use! The Blood Rose stalked Gwen with malicious intentions, licking its rose petal lips!
Gwen looked horrified as she curled up in a ball, waiting for the monstrous flower to attack!
*ROAR!*
Another roar suddenly erupted, but it wasn't from the Blood Rose! Out of the blue, a creature grabs the rose's thorn covered neck and tears it off, causing a splatter of blood to ooze uncontrollably!
Gwen noticed of this. She looked at the figure that jumped out and saved her too see it was a…
"A Dog?" Gwen said as she saw a giant, small dog. A Chow Chow to be exact.
The goth girl approached the Chinese dog carefully, afraid that it might kill her like it did with the rose.
The Chow Chow dog noticed Gwen and looked at her with a blood-stained face. The dog looked very happy!
"Why are you so happy?" Gwen asked the dog, but the dog didn't answer and just licked her, causing some blood to stain her.
A/N: This isn't a very good chapter, but I did my best. I just came back from a friend's house and it was kinda late when I wrote this, so I'm kinda sleepy.
