I was in total shock.
There were so many questions I had and they would only give me ambiguous answers. I was so frustrated but now wasn't the time to cry I had to listen to see what was going on outside. I was able to climb to the little teapot spout and look out.
Mirai stilled talked in his happy voice but was a bit standoffish.
"good day guards, what business do you have with us?"
Takuto and Joshua sat at the table silently looking at each other with total poker faces on. They didn't want to give away my location I soupose…
"Just taking a nice stroll threw the woods." The guard had a devilish smile and long black hair that matched his all black outfit. He looked around at the table. "Oh I didn't know you all were friends?"
He walked towards the table and slammed his hands down. He laughed "ANYONE WANT TO PLAY CARDS WITH ME?!" he got up in takkun face and just when takkun was going to blow Mirai put his hand on the guards back patting slowly
"sorry nobody here knows how to play" he shook his head in a disapproving factor. "Nevertheless-" the horseman swiped at Mirai's hat and it landed hard on the ground.
Mirai looked hurt for a second but stilled smiled.
"your not men! You sit and have teatime! Your pansies especially bunny man!" he got back on his horse and trampled repeatedly on Mirais' hat. Before taking off.
Mirai bent down slowly and picked up his hat.
Joshua picked up the teacup I was in a poured a liquid in it.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING ILL DROWN!" I took one giant gulp of the liquid and couldn't breathe anymore. But I started to grow bigger.
I ended up breaking the teacup.
"Ha fat!" takuto smirked.
I wasn't paying worried about his smart remark, I was worried about Mirai, and he was still on the sitting on the ground clutching the hat to his chest. Face buried into the top of it.
"Mirai?" I asked but he didn't look up.
He slowly looked up with a sad smile on his face. "Don't worry my sweet al my pride and this hat has dirt on it….. I am fine"
But I saw a tear slip from his eye.
"Mirai I-"
"no no its fine! My hats only a little bent nothing I cant fix! Mirai put his hat back up on his head but instead of sticking straight up as it once did it was bent to the left.
"Theres something you all aren't telling me?" I got straight to the point beating around the bush will do me no good here.
They all looked away, nobody said anything for a while then all at the same time they looked up and stared right into my eyes. No one ones smiling.
"Against all odds you've come here al….and…I'm very sorry" Mirai started I slowly shook my head to show him I had no clue what he was going to tell me.
"I've been here for seven years….they call it wonder land! Hmph well its all lies." Joshua turned his head away from me.
"whats going on?" I pleaded. They had all gone from looking so strong to looking so defeated.
Takkun stood up, still looking into my eyes.
" We've looked….we've all searched so far but…Theres no way out of this…..wonder land…" Even the grumpy bunny looked like all his dreams had been smashed.
