Summer POV:
"YOU WHAT?" Autumn screamed at me, chucking a big fluffy pillow to my face, knocking me over. She was sitting at my vanity, braiding her long black hair, and applying beauty products to her skin.
"Okay, calm down, he kissed me, not the other way around." I said, hauling myself back up.
"YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND!"
"SHUT UP!" I screamed at her. " I REALIZE THAT!"
"AND HE TOLD YOU TO BREAK UP WITH HIM!"
"THAT DIDN'T MEAN I DID!"
"BUT YOU SAID YOU DID!"
"FOR A DAY! A DAY!" I countered.
Autumn put her hands to her face, inhaling a deep sigh, and muttered "My best friend is a retard..."
I glared at her. "You can't say that much, you slept with Blood!"
Her face turned into a scowl. "I told you, he climbed into bed with me, I had a fever, it was against my will, and I also don't have a boyfriend!"
Point taken.
I sighed. I had told Ace that I broke up with Derek, but of course I lied. What was I supposed to do? My phone and Autumn's dosen't have any signal anymore. Not that any of the Roleholders could tell, of course. After about half a day of pure torture of Ace ordering me around, Autumn had suddenly appeared at Heart Castle, declaring that she would stay here for a couple of days. I wanted to ask her why, but then Vivaldi interrupted ordered us to have tea with her, and then yelled at Ace to get back to work. (Now that I think about it, what was Ace's job? How can someone like him even have a job?) Once it turned to night, she lead Autumn and I into our rooms, telling us to relax and sleep, since we had a "big day of shopping tomorrow".
I sighed, flopped back on the huge mattress, and hugged my body pillow. "So, why are you here again?"
"I am never going back there again."
"He's gonna hunt you down."
"Blood?"
"Yeah."
I could hear Autumn consider this for a minute. "Eh, maybe. But I'm not scared of him, so whatever."
I shot up straight when I heard these words. Not scared of him? Dosen't she know who he was? "Uh, Autumn?"
"Yes?"
I played with my silk gown nervously. "Um," I said. "He's...Blood's...He's the leader of Wonderland's mafia, the Hatters, you do know that, right?"
Autumn stopped braiding her hair, slowly turned to me, her eyes wide with question, but they seemed hazy and cloudy, as if only hearing me but not seeing me. "What?" She said, her hands still in mid-braid.
"Blood is the leader of a mafia, Elliot is his second in command." I said, hugging my pillow tighter. "That's why I didn't want you near them, and I thought you knew..."
Autumn's eyes still hadn't blinked, although they now seemed to come into focus. "Who told you that..?"
"Vivaldi and Peter."
Autumn blinked once, then twice, and after the third time, her lips peeled back and erupted into laughter. She threw her head back. I stared at her, stunned. Of all the emotions I expected from her, laughter was not one of them. "Why are you laughing..?" I questioned, somewhat scared. Why the hell was she laughing?
"THAT RETARDED PERVERTED ASSHOLE IS THE LEADER OF A MAFIA?! NO WONDER HE CAN'T GET A GIRL!" She howled, and fell to the floor, drowning in giggles. After what seemed like ten minutes, she finally composed herself, and wiped a tear that formed from the corner of her eyes. She stared at me, her face still red. "It's probably only title, Summer. Don't worry! Elliot's one of the nicest guys I know, and Dee and Dum are just kids. There's no way they're actual mafia people, right?" She seemed to be consoling herself rather than me, but I nodded anyways, not wanting to scare her.
"Right." I said, robotically nodding my head.
"So Summer, I've been meaning to ask," Autumn said, making her way towards the bed. She sat down, leaning in close to me, her minty breath tickled my ear. "Do you like Ace?"
I screamed out loud when she said that. Me? Like Ace? HA. HAHAHA. HAR-HAR-HAR. SO FUNNY.
Well...
Maybe.
"Um..." I whispered quietly, embarrassment laced in my words. "I...I don't know."
In a flash, Autumn pinned my wrists beside my head, her body caging my own. I stared at her, wanting to laugh for some reason. I knew she felt the same though. Best friend instincts? Who knows?
"YOU~!" She hollered at me. "YOU'VE KNOWN HIM FOR LIKE, WHAT? TWO DAYS? HOW CAN YOU LIKE HIM? YOU'RE LIKE THOSE STUPID SHOUJO MANGA GIRLS WHO CLAIM THEY'RE IN LOVE BY THE THIRD CHAPTER!"
"Alot can happen in two days."
"You're right. I can knock out memories in two days." She stated coldly.
"What about you? Do you like Blood?"
Autumn recoiled from me, laid beside me in bed, and softly said "I just can't forget Adrian, y'know? I can't shake away the guilt...I don't think I could ever like anyone again." She turned to face me. "Even if I did he'd have to really be something, unlike that ass Blood."
I flipped over and faced her. "Mmm..I'm tired. Can we sleep now?"
She closed her eyes, her thick, long black eyelashes grazing her cheekbone. "I'm already alseep. Night, bitch."
"Stop swearing so much." I said, shoving my head face first into the pillow.
"That day will come when you stop being so stupid, eh?"
"Yeah, yeah yeah, night mom."
"Night."
Autumn POV:
Dreams.
Remember what I said about dreams.
They scare me.
Dreams are an escape from reality.
Not always good.
When you wake up from a nightmare, you are faced with harsh reality.
When you dream, nothing is real.
It's all made up.
You're sub conscious is taking over your mind.
Your fears come to live.
Everything you hate becomes real.
Even if it's only for an hour, a minute, a second,
All your biggest fears come back...
And that's exactly what happened.
Summer POV
Dreams.
Dreams are an escape from reality.
They're like heaven in your head.
Dreams help you escape reality.
Everything that's not real suddenly becomes real.
It's like Ecstasy.
I'm addicted.
It's my drug, my escape
Anything can happen in a dream
Wether it's you or me
You're deepest desires come true.
Your sub conscious is taking over your mind.
Everything you've ever wanted becomes real.
Even if it's only an hour, a minute, a second,
All your dreams come true...
And that's exactly what happened.
Nightmare POV:
In my realm, I saw the two girls confused and startled at their dream.
In a place of nothingness, their thoughts echoed in my head.
I hate dreams.
I love dreams.
Shut up, Summer.
They're an escape from reality!
But what happens when we wake up? What is at the end of a dream, retard?
Reality?
Exactly. No matter how good, or bad your dream is, you always wake up. What is the point of a dream, if reality is always there to slap you in the face?
You think too much.
Shut up, faggot.
I approached them, easily floating over. "My name is Nightmare," I said. "And this is the dream realm."
"Well, no shit." Autumn said, huffing. Pointing out the obvious, much? She thought.
I chuckled. "I am an incubus, a dream demon. I am worse than Satan himself. Satan drops you in hell, I drop you into dreams."
"I'm not religious," Autumn chimed.
"Neither am I, and also, how the fuck is a dream worse than hell?" Summer said, shaking her head. Is he mental? What's wrong with my dream?
"I'm not mental," I said, grinning as she widened her eyes.
"H-how did you know..?"
"I can hear your thoughts."
PERVERT! They both screeched in unison.
I felt vile in my throat, and coughed up some blood. Ugh, I hate my condition. "I'm not a pervert." I said weakly.
"EW! DON'T GET THE BLOOD ON ME!" Summer cried, clinging onto Autumn, who rolled her eyes and thought that's disgusting, even for a dream.
"You were saying, Nightmare?" Autumn prompted. I could feel her emotions, as she was getting annoyed at how long she was asleep. "Something about Satan, whatever?"
"Ah, yes." I started, peeling myself upright, acting confident. This was my realm, after all. "I am worse than Satan himself. He brings you to hell, I bring you into a dream. Now Autumn, what is worse than a dream?"
"Your fucking face."
I coughed up Blood again. Ouch, that one hurt. She wasn't kidding either.
"Are you okay?" Summer asked, wanting to approach me.
"Don't touch him Summer, he'll infect you and then rape you. Speaking of which, is this a dream? It feels like reality, like you're actually here with me Summer, not just my mind."
"Me too."
"I'll have to ask you when I wake up. Or just slap. That is always easier."
"DON'T!" Summer screeched, hurting my ears.
"Fine." Autumn huffed, but I could tell she was joking inside. They then both turned to me. "Can we go now?"
"No. I have some things to ask you." I said, holding my head with one arm.
"No, you cannot have my virginity." Autumn stated, her voice blunt. He really is a pedo.
"STOP!" I cried, coughing out blood YET AGAIN. "I'M NOT A PEDO!"
"Stop it Autumn! He seems sick! For real!"
"Yeah!" I cried, getting up again. "I'm sick!"
"Hospital!" Autumn said angrily.
"I HATE hospitals! NEVER!" I cried, bringing my hands to my head, thinking of Gray attacking me once I was out of here.
I hate hospitals too! Oh my god! #newfoundrespect. Autumn thought. She grinned to me. "Fine."
I smiled, taking my hands off my face. "Okay, what is Wonderland to you?"
"A dream." Summer stated.
"I don't know, a rabbit sex lair?" Autumn said, gaining a look of disbelief from Summer and I. She looked between us. "What?! Sidney and Peter are rabbits, and brought us down here, down a rabbit hole, may I add, so this must be their sex lair. Next question."
"Moving on.." I said. "Do you know why you two haven't been here before?"
"Do I care?" Summer said, now also irritated. "I'm bored!" She whined. "I wanna dream about Derek!"
"I wanna wake the hell up." Autumn said, examining her nails. "This is boring as fuck."
I sighed, knowing it was pointless to try and make them both think Wonderland as a dream. "Do you want to know why I brought you two here, then?"
Their attention snapped back at me. "WHAT?!" They cried in unison.
"I brought you to Wonderland."
Are you serious?
I'm gonna fucking kick your ass, Nightmare.
"WOAH WOAH WOAH." I said, as they both ran to me, trying to punch or kick me, their anger flying everywhere.
"WHY DID YOU BRING US HERE?!" Autumn screamed, trying to grab the tail of my coat.
"I BROUGHT YOU HERE BECAUSE AUTUMN WAS SAD ABOUT ADRIAN AND SUMMER WAS SAD ABOUT-"
Summer, in rage, jumped up and had managed to pin me down, Autumn aiding her.
"WHY. DID. YOU. BRING. US. HERE?!" They screamed, caging me between their petite bodies.
"WHY DIDN'T YOU SLEEP TOGETHER EARLIER!? ONCE YOU SLEEP TOGETHER, I CAN ONLY START TO ACCESS YOUR DREAMS THEN!" I cried, struggling to get out.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SAYING?!" Autumn yelled, about to punch me in the face. "STOP TRYING TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT!"
"OKAY, YOU KNOW WHAT?! YOU'RE WAKING UP NOW!" I yelled, snapping my fingers. As fast as lighting, black clouds surrounded the place, and the two woke up.
Autumn POV:
I.
HATE.
NIGHTMARE.
FUCKING FUCK FUCK FUCKITTY FUCK SHIT.
WHY THE HELL DID HE FUCKING BRING US HERE.
Once I had woken up, I stomped around, flinging everything everywhere. Pillows, blankets, covers, perfume bottles, clothes...I was in such I rage I didn't even notice that I flew my phone across the room, hearing a loud crack! sound coming from it. Of course, at the moment I didn't care, and proceeded to countinue screaming and hollering, demanding an explanation from, well...anyone.
"HE IS GOING TO DIE!" I yelled, jumping up and down, pounding on the floor. God Jesus asdfghjkl. I hate this place. I WANNA. GO. HOME.
"Calm the hell down!" Summer ordered, pushing her face back into her pillow. "It's still night period." Her muffled voice said.
I huffed, my chest heaving up and down. "I thought you were mad, too?"
"I am, but I'm also tired...Can't you do that someplace else?"
"I HAVE NO WHERE ELSE TO GO!"
Summer flicked her head up, her eyes had turned cold, her expression said "I'm fucking annoyed as hell with you" and she coldy stated. "There. Is. Other. Guest. Rooms. Goodnight!" And whipped her head again into her pillow.
Well.
"Fine," I mumbled, grabbing my purse. "I'll bet somewhere if you need me." I stormed out of the room, not bothering to flick off the lights, slammed the door, and walked down the cool night hallways.
It was pretty eerie at night than it was during the day. Only several guards and maids walked around, and the place was illuminated by candles. As I walked down the hall, memories from earlier today flooded into my mind.
.
~Flashback~
.
I woke up with the blinding evening sunlight in my eyes, my head against a bare chest(but it was a six pack, damn), and a very, very familiar silky, raven black hair tickling my neck.
I slowly turned my head around to see Blood's sleeping face right above my own.
HOLYSHITWHATTHEFUCKOHMYGODWHATTHEHELLHAPPENEDAMIPREGNANTOHMYGODCANIHAVEABORTIONOHMYGODIMGONNALEAVETHECOUNTRY.
WAIT.
IF I KEEP QUIET, I CAN PROBABLY GET OUT OF HERE WITHOUT GETTING CAUGHT, YEAH?
...
...
...
YEAH!
I very, very carefully slipped out of the bed, hardly making any sounds. I felt heat rush to my face when I saw myself only wearing underwear.
Stupid fever.
I very carefully slipped on a baby pink cardigan I recognized as my own, along with a simple mint green tank top and denim shorts. I put on my flip flops, grabbed my phone from the couch, and made a beeline for the door when I felt a hand grab my wrist.
"Going somewhere, young lady?"
I slowly turned around, seeing Blood's smirking face above me. He was still topless, but he had on pajama pants, thank the LORDS.
"Yes..." I replied dully, pretending that my heart wasn't just about to, oh, you know. JUMP OUT OF MY FRIGGIN CHEST!
"And just after we spent the night together? Are you seeking comfort from other men, jumping from bed to bed?"
"Yes." I said, not even blinking. The guys at school call me a whore, slut, etc etc all the time(though most of the time they weren't serious...I think). This really didn't affect me at all in any way. Whatsoever. THINK WATCHA WANT BITCHES, BUT I KNOW THE TRUTH!
"..." Blood looked uncomfortable as it seems that I didn't give him the answer he wanted. I tapped my foot impatiently.
"...Can I go now? I have to get to Heart Castle."
Blood composed himself at the mention of Heart Castle. "So you'll be sleeping there, then? With Vivaldi, Peter and Ace? You're going to be having a threesome, aren't you?"
"Yes, quite so thanks. Bye." I whipped around, walking out of the room. I ran to my room, slamming the door shut. I turned around, and the entire place was...
Trashed.
My bed covers lay in pieces on the floor, my pillow was out of fluff, the vanity was destroyed and in pieces, the closet was ripped from the walls, and a single lightbulb hung from the ceiling, compared to the chandelier that once occupied there.
Well, Blood wasn't kidding when he said Elliot and the twins destroyed my room.
I growled, as now I'd have to move all my shit from one place to another. I scrounged around the room, looking for a plastic bag, or any bag really, to hold all my stuff. I found the most weirdest thing underneath what used to be my bed. It was a painting. Out of curiosity, I pulled it out, and on it was no doubt Blood, and another girl.
The girl had long honey blonde hair, wavy, down to her waist. She wore a blue bow, and a little Lolita style baby blue dress. She wore a black lace handcuff, and knee-high white socks. Her aquamarine eyes shone bright in the painting, and her pearly white teeth shone against her pale complexion.
Whoa, she's pretty.
What stuck me most odd of all though, is the face that she and Blood were...well...they looked like an item. Blood had his arms wrapped around her, and she was hugging intimately at his chest. Huh. So this must be Blood's ex or something?
Maybe if I hadn't been interrupted at that point, I would've stayed at Hatter mansion. Maybe I would have grown to even like Wonderland. Maybe I would've wanted to stay in Wonderland. Maybe things could have ended differently.
But they didn't.
I was just about to toss the painting on the other side of the room, when a maid behind me said "Miss Autumn~" I turned around, startled at the sound of another person in the room.
"Oh, Hi Julia." I said, turning around to face her.
"You know my name?" Julia looked surprised and confused, as if she wasn't used to being called Julia.
"...Yeah?"
"Oh, you must remember my number~"
"What're you talking about? I remember your face."
"My face~?"
"...Yes?"
"You can see my face?"
"...Are you trolling or what?"
Julia laughed, and dismissed the question with a wave of her hand. She then changed the topic. "I see you've found a picture of Master Blood and Miss Alice there~"
Ah, so this was the infamous Alice.
I looked at the painting. Come to think of it, didn't Blood once act really weird, saying how "Alice and I were the same"?
...
...
...
Is Alice is weakness?
...
...
...
DUDE THAT MUST BE IT!
Excitement ran through my veins. That perv has a weakness! AND I CRACKED IT! YES!
"Uh, Julia?" I asked, just to be sure. "Is-Was Alice Blood's lover?"
"Hmm? Oh yes, dear~ But then Alice returned to her world~ and Blood was devastated."
"Poor guy." I said, although inside I was more like BAHAHAHAHA YOU SOOOOOO DESERVED THAT!
"Yes~ that's why Blood wants you~"
Wait what.
"Excuse me..?" I asked, my voice laced with confusion.
"Oh~ You didn't know~?" Well obviously not, smart one. "Blood wants you to stay in Hatter mansion so he can have you to himself~ He wants you to be a replacement for Alice, basically~"
...
...
...
"Oh, I see..." I said, anger boiling inside of me. EXCUSE MOI? REPLACEMENT? HELL NAW, I DON'T TAKE NONE OF THIS CRAP! "Excuse me," I said as I weaved my way through the rubble.
"Oh, but please don't tell Master Blood I said that~" Julia said, her eyebrows knitting together in concern. "He might do something to me~"
I smiled. "I won't reveal your name, promise!" And with that, I bolted down the hallway, running madly to Blood's room, and whipped open the door, with him in the middle of doing documents again (Boooor-ing!)
"YOU!" I screeched, pointing my finger to him for emphasis. "I AM NOT A FUCKING REPLACEMENT FOR YOUR DAMNNED ALICE!"
He looked up at me, his face still as expressionless as ever. "And whoever planted that idea in your mind, Autumn?"
"IT DOSEN'T MATTER! I'M NOT A FUCKING REPLACEMENT! AND GOOD DAY TO YOU, SIR FUCKER!" I said, and stormed out of the room, hearing him chuckle underneath his breath.
In rage, I turned around again and screamed "AND I'M NOT STAYING HERE EITHER! I'D RATHER LIVE ON THE STREETS!"
"Oh? Is that a challenge, miss?" Blood said coolly, amusement sparking behind those fucking jade eyes.
"NO! IT WAS SARCASM! SO FUCK YOU!" I yelled, and turned away once again.
SERIOUSLY, HE DOESN'T GET SARCASM DOES HE?
I stormed down the hallway, into my room, grabbed a random bag, and started to shove all my belongings in it. I then marched down the hallway, gaining a couple of what the hell are you so pissed about stares, and continued to storm out to the gates (which were unguarded, you terrible gatekeepers you.) and then made my way to Heart Castle.
.
~End of flashback~
.
I sighed, walking down aimlessly down the never ending hallways. Does this place never end? I wandered around for a bit, until I ran into Vivaldi.
"Oh, um, hi Vivaldi." I said, embarrassed at all my stomping down the hall. She probably heard me.
"Oh! We are glad to see you, Autumn!" Vivaldi cried, squashing me with her frikin triple D boobs. HOW THE HELL ARE THEY THAT BIG!?
"How come you are not asleep? It is good for the skin, you know."
"Oh, I was just...ahh...wandering around, since I wasn't tired. I'm pretty sure it's only 8pm in my world right now, and I haven't adjusted to these...time changes."
Vivaldi smiled warmly. "How about we take a nice, long bath together then?"
"Are they co-ed?"
Vivaldi scowled. "We presume you are talking about the Hatter's mansion style of baths? We have not only bathtubs, but also showers. And we certainly do not have such as thing as co-ed. Men these days. They are nothing compared to us women, live-givers. We are far off better than those pigs. We will take care of you properly, Autumn." Vivaldi purred, stroking my hair.
Well, she seemed like such a pretty elder sister, and I really like the part of how she's a feminist.
I LIKE HER.
"Sure," I said, now hugging her back. "I'd love to take a bath with you."
"Excellent!" She chimed, and grabbed my wrist to guide me to the bathrooms.
Sorry to end this so suddenly, but i felt like this was WAAAAY too long.
so, please review!
peace.
