Crona in Wonderland
*Do not own Soul Eater or anything having to do with Soul Eater
*Notes*: Fem Crona and will loosely follow the EXACT story of Alice in Wonderland (No adaptation is the same).
Chapter 2: It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
After much falling, Crona had finally hit the ground. "OW!" is what she said out of instinct but it was strange, as high as that fall was, the impact was practically painless. Is that possible? Perhaps she WAS dreaming but it felt so real. She got up and looked around but everything was still pitch black. Where on earth was she... if she was even ON EARTH.
As she looked around the possibilities of finding anything in this abyss became slimmer and slimmer until Crona's eyes eventually caught glimpse of a small light. she squinted trying to make out what it was but all she could tell was that it was some kind off rectangular light. She looked both ways. "Well..." she began. "Curiouser and Curiouser." Why did that sound familiar? Oh that's right, it was in that story that Medusa Sama had just read to her.
Crona started walking towards the rogue light. Was she scared? Hell yes but I not there then where else? It was the only place or thing at all the she could take a step in the direction of. As she walked closer and it neared her as well, Crona's fear started to grow deeper.
There was no way that this could be happening, right? But no matter how much Crona wanted to deny this, it was happening and even if she was asleep she would not be waking up any time soon. She was only a mere few feet from the light now. She could not see past it nor through it, as if it were a two dimensional human sized bug zapper.
Crona raised an arm and put it through just to make sure that what she was looking at was indeed a door and it was. With every regret, fear, and reason not to, she reluctantly passed through it and closed her eyes as the light shined even brighter around her.
When she opened her eyes she was surprised to find herself in a small room. She turned around and saw that the door that she had passed through was gone. That really scared her. What if she couldn't go back! Well first dear Crona, you must no WHERE you are before you can know if you want to leave. She looked around. All she noticed was a small table and a tiny door much to small for her.
On the table was a plate of odd looking cookies and some sort of drink. There was also a key, could that be for the door? It all confused her but what really confused her was what she noticed next. She looked down at herself and saw what she was wearing. she blushed at the sight of herself in a frilly, puffy, black dress, something that she'd never be caught wearing.
She was a little embarrassed to be wearing such a thing so it was a good thing nobody was around to see her but then again, where did this thing come from? She approached the table wearily. The cookies had a sign next to them saying eat me and the liquid was labeled drink me. Eat me? Drink me? What was this? But then she heard a familiar voice.
"Oh dear, oh dear, I'm going to be late." she turned around and saw that it was Kid but...He was tiny, much smaller than her at least.
She blushed. "K-Kid..." the sight of him running while no bigger than hand almost made her want to laugh but what was he doing? Where was he going? He ran between her legs and dashed off behind her. She turned around and called to him. "Kid!? What are you doing?! What's going on?!" but he paid no attention and continued forward.
He approached the small door at the other end of the room and pulled out a key to unlock it. He did so and passed through it hastily closing it as he exited the room. "Wha?! HEY WAIT! KID?!" she yelled a bit irritated since that was the second time that he ignored her. She walked up to the door and attempted to open it but it would not do so. He locked it! she thought to herself now agitated.
Then she remembered the small key on the table. Could that possibly unlock the door? She got up and walked over to acquire the key and then went back to the door. It was a little hard for her to accurately insert such a small key into such a small door. But when she did and the door opened she was able to see just what lied on the other side.
"Oh my..." she thought aloud. It was a vast beautiful colorful world of filled with all kinds of different things. "How am I suppose to get in there?" she wondered. She got up and remembered those mysterious cookies and liquid. She walked over and eyed the plate of cookies. she picked one up and pondered as she examined it making sure it wasn't poisonous or something.
She then looked at the door and back to the cookie. "Well...I suppose there's nothing else I can do." she then took a bite out of the cookie. Her eyes widened when she realized that it was actually quite tasty. "Huh, it's pretty good." she said as she finished the bite in her mouth. But then she felt odd. Not so much a pain but still something inside of her did not feel right.
And suddenly without warning, Crona instantly grew to a size that could barely be accommodated by the rom. she hit her head on the ceiling. "OW!" she cried out as her hands raced towards her head. She opened her eyes and saw how much she had just grown. "AAAGGGHHH!" she shrieked. "What happened?!" she shouted as she looked at herself.
She then picked up the remains of the cookie and eyed it angrily. "Eat Me, huh? Why would I ever want to be this big?!" she through the half eaten cookie across the room and watched it shatter against the wall. Her anger then changed to sadness. This was the complete opposite of what she needed. The door was too small for her to begin with and now she was 8 times her normal size.
She started to pout but then remembered that there was something else on the table: that liquid labeled "drink me". She looked around for it and noticed that the table along with it's contents had been knocked over but she saw bottle in front of her foot unharmed. she picked it up and examined it carefully for anything like an ingredients list but nothing. It was just a bottle full of God knows what.
"Well if one made me grow than maybe the other will made me shrink." she thought trying to be optimistic. "And if it makes me grow again maybe I'll knock the roof out and get out either way." she said sounding annoyed again.
She eyed the bottle one more before opening it and very reluctantly taking a small sip fearfully waiting to happen whatever would happen. At first nothing. She looked at the bottle angrily. "Well that was pointless." she said right before throwing it at the wall as well also watching it shatter.
Crona's face then became saddened as she curled up and hugged her legs together. She almost felt like crying, perhaps being so big had also amplified her emotions.
But then she felt something, something in her chest. It was a similar feeling she had before growing. Oh dear, she wasn't going to get bigger was she? But what followed caused Crona's eyes to widen. She began to shrink!
And just as fast as she had grown, she shrank to doll size. she gently fell to the floor and stood up to see that she only stood about six inches tall. She blushed. "Gee, if this was maybe on someone else I'd think it was kind of cute."
She turned around and looked at the door that she was now small enough to enter. She smiled but then frowned. "Well it might be dangerous to go through now being this small." she looked around to see if she could find the plate of cookies that she had knocked over earlier.
They were, in fact, only a few feet away from her. She walked up and broke of a small piece from one of the discarded cookies. She searched the dress that she was now wearing for any pockets of which it had two. She placed the crumb into the dress's pocket and walked off. "If it worked once than maybe I can use it to grow larger on the other side."
She walked outside the door and beheld all the strange things before her. It was definitely more colorful than the eerie vector forest that stood around Medusa Sama's castle. Anyway she walked forward continuing to admire everything around her but then she remembered: where was Kid?
She looked around but there was no sign of him. She then eyed her pocket thinking about returning herself to normal size with the small remains of the cookie but the only thing keeping her from doing so were her surroundings.
It almost looked as if this world was meant to be inhabited by small creatures, or people, or whatevers. Even the sidewalk that she had just noticed she was standing on was much to small for a person her own actual size.
So she decided to stay this size until something happened forcing her to do otherwise. She looked left and right, up and down, everything was so beautiful. But she couldn't let the aw of this world distract her; where was Kid?
Crona thought to herself that he must be long gone by now. She sighed, what a situation she had gotten in. She continued to walk down the sidewalk until she came across a few signs. They where anything but straight and they pointed in every direction.
Crona approached them reading what each one pointed to. "Tulgey Wood, Mad Hatter, March Hare, Castle of Hearts, Jabberwocky, White Rabbit's house? What on earth...?" she was so confused. She didn't even know what a "Jabberwocky" was and was Tulgey even a word? But White Rabbit's house?
She remembered that Kid had rabbit ears. Could he possibly be there? Well all the other things were either to obscure or something that Crona didn't even know what to think. So she took the path that led to the house of this alleged White Rabbit. Or WAS Kid the White Rabbit? Crona was willing to believe anything at this point.
As she walked forward She started to hear something that got mildly louder as she walked along the path. It almost sounded like someone was humming, or maybe it was singing, no it was humming.
As Crona got further she eventually saw a tall man sitting in a lawn chair. He was eying a small pocket watch as if he was waiting for something. Crona approached with caution but as she did, she couldn't help but feel that she had met the man before but he was wearing something that she would never recognize on him.
As she walked towards him he continued to watch the time and hum without a care in the world. Did he even see Crona? Regardless, she was now only a few feet from him and he still paid no attention to her (if he was aware of her presence at all).
"Um, e-excuse me...?" Crona asked timidly. The man stopped humming and looked at her. "Oh my, hello." now she recognized him. It was that man from the DWMA: BJ! But how could he be here? Then again, how could Kid or Crona herself be in this world?
"M...Mr. BJ...? she asked confused gaining an equaly confused look from him.
"Ma'am, I know not of this "BJ", I am a Dodo." after a moment of hesitation, Crona had to restrain herself from bursting out and laughing right away. He said that so casually, as if she could taake it seriously. But after examining his attire, she could see that he did look quite different. He was wearing a dark blue coat and wore the kind of hat that Napolian is usually portrayed with (I don't know the name, so sue me). It took her a moment but she could see some tail feathers on him (which wanted to make her laugh more).
Crona snapped away from his odd appearance. "Um, sorry, you looked like someone I knew." he nodded his head. "Quite alright."
"Um, can you tell me where I am exactly?" she asked
"Hm? But don't you know? There's quite a handful of road signs over there." he said pointing to the signs that Crona had already past by.
She grimaced. "Yes, well, those didn't help me much; believe it or not." she turned to him after eyeing the signs. "I don't suppose you can tell me where I am EXACTLY?"
"Sorry I can't." he said pulling out his pocket watch to veiw the time once more.
"W-Why not...?"
"Because I'm waiting for the race to end."
"What race...?"
"The one they're about to finish."
"Who's they?"
"Dear me, you sure do ask a lot of questions. No wonder you're lost."
Crona was getting mad. "Well maybe if you'd answer my questions a little more-" she was stopped by his hand in her face as he quickly rose from his chair. "Oi, it looks like they're coming up now!" he said looking down the road.
Crona looked in the direction he was pointing in and eventually noticed the supposed racers. Oh dear God! Faster than you could say fuck, several people zipped by Crona leaving her in a cloud of dust. She coughed as she tried to fan away the dust with her hand. As things became clear she could see just whom exactly was running around. It was many of the people that she recognized from the DWMA.
Kim, Jakie, Ox, Harvar, Kilik, Fire, and Thunder. But they looked different. They had many traits causing them to look like animals. Kim for example had mouse ears and a tail to boot. Crona stared at them confused; if BJ was not himself, perhaps these were not the people she new either.
They were on the ground panting from exhaustion. Just how far had they run anayway? They slowly got up and through their hevy breaths argued amongst themselves who was the winner of this "out-of-nowhere" race.
"I WON!"
"NO, I WON!"
"IN YOUR DREAM! CLEARLY I WON!"
"HOW DID YOU WIN?! I SAW YOU COME IN DEAD LAST!"
"I PRETTY SURE I WON!"
"YOU GUYS!" they were all silenced by the Dodo's sudden outburst. They all looked at him waiting for him to finish his sentence. He looked quite angry but calmed down rather quickly. "You guys, clearly it was NONE OF YOU who one because the race isn't over yet."
They all looked at him dumbstruck. "WHAT!"
"But where is there left to run?"
"We've been everywhere."
"Yes, Everywhere."
"Ah, but have you been nowhere?" the Dodo said raising an odd unarguable point.
They all stared at him and began to ponder. "You know what? I don't think we have been nowhere!"
"Yes! We've been everywhere else! So of corse nowhere is the only place left."
"Well in that case..." the Dodo began. "UI guess who ever finds 'nowhere' first wins!"
They all gave a salute. "AYE, CAPTAIN!"
"THEN HEAD OFF!" he shouted. and with the flick of his finger they scattered to god knows where. Crona was completely frightened. But not in a fearful way. No, more of a way that showed that she had know idea what the bloody hell was going on. "What just hsppened...?" she said nervously.
The Dodo was reseting his watch for a new race (that would probably never end). "To answer your question you are in wonderland."
She looked at him. "Huh?"
"You asked where you might be. You are in wonderland, ma'am."
"Wonderland?"
"Yes..."
Crona was silent for a moment. She looked around. Wonderland, huh?
"Well now that you know where you are, where do you plan on going?" the Dodo said pouring himself a cup of tea.
"What...?" Crona said confused.
"They're all in a frenzy looking for the road to nothing (Ah, he said it :D). But where, ma'am, are you plannign on going?"
Crona stared at him not knowing what to say. She looked down at herself and was reminded of the frilly black dress she was wearing. What a great question but it's not like Crona wanted to be here...perhaps that was the answer. "I guess I'm looking for home..."
"Ah...? Are you sure that's where you're longing for." He asked contradicting her. She looked at him even more confused.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Are you sure you want to go home? Are you sure you want to go back?" there was an eerie tone in his voice thta could freeze over Hell. He continued to stare at her. Sehe was actually starting to get scared; for there was a dark prescence coming from him. She thought for sure that he was about to try something until...
"But who am i to question YOUR sense of direction? You seem to be doing fine." Crona took a sigh of relief. In that instant, it felt like he was going to kill her.
"Although, if you're really in that much of a fix, I suppose you could seek advice from the queen."
"...The Queen...?"
"Yes, know one holds more power than she. Perhaps you could ask her how to get home. If anyone knows anything like that my moneys on her." he took a sip of his tea.
Crona thought to herself. Maybe that would be best, not much else she could do. "Well in that case do you know where i could find her?"
He looked at her. "Of course, she Lives that way." the direction he pointed was more than a little unhelpful. Where he was pointing didn't really lead to anywhere.
"Um, are you sure...?" she questioned.
"Yes. Just head straight and then straight and then straight some more. You'll eventually find her, I garuntee it."
She sighed. "Do I have much of a choice...?" she started to walk off. she turned her head and thanked him before setting of to find this so called Queen...
Well there's chapter 2. Chapter 3 will not be up until a month after this one because I'm going to my dad's house. But anyway, next chapter will show off a few more characters from the Soul Eater universe. I hope there aren't too many annoying spelling errors. On chapter 1 my keyboard kept messing up on me and now the spell check won't work for chapter 2. Oh well, REVIEW!
