Maka's Adventures in Wonderland
Chapter 2: Falling
A Soul Eater Fanfic
Disclaimer/the obvious stuff: Don't own Soul Eater, Alice in Wonderland, etc.
I held onto my abductor with all my strength, shutting my eyes and praying to the powers that be for forgiveness. Seriously! I haven't done anything wrong with my life, and if I kicked innocent puppies in my past life I'm sorry. I swear, I've never felt this afraid in my life, mostly because I stay at my father's estate. However, based on my self-defense instructor's lessons, I realized I needed to calm down and observe my surroundings. Which is easier said than done. Why, you ask? Because it was frickin' pitch black in the hole I was falling in. It was cold, dark, and seemed endless! To make matters worse, I'm being slung over someone stranger's, albeit a handsome one's, shoulder, and I was holding onto his… waist? I couldn't help but to get increasingly irritated.
So, I decided to take action. I groped the air for one of those ears I saw earlier, sitting on top of his head, snatched it, and pulled it to my face.
As I did this, I felt his head snap towards me. "Oi! What are you doing?!"
I blew a fuse. "Oh, I don't know, being kidnapped by a thing that has no manners and enjoys snatching girls from their gardens? I can't help it but to attempt to run away from it."
The guy glared at me. Well, I bet that he's glaring at me, but I can't tell, since there's no light.
"I'm not a thing! I'm a noble anthromorphe in Her majesty's court (A/N I have no clue if someone coined the term yet, but its mine now). Obviously, you've never seen one before, child." he snarled.
I snorted. "You, noble? I don't think so. If you were noble, then we wouldn't be descending towards our eminent doom! Also, for your information, I am not a child! And what the hell is an anthromorphe?!" I shouted. I felt him cringe and pull his soft ear out of my grasp.
He replied in a snobbish tone "Anthromorphes have features of certain animals, and abilities relating to their animal base. In my case, I have excellent hearing, the ability to run quickly and jump far distances. All anthromorphes have more physical endurance than humans and typically work for the red queen. I too am working for the queen as an…escort, of sorts." The anthromophe paused. "And don't worry, there are only 2 minutes and 37 seconds left through this portal!"
Wait, hold up, I've never heard of any of the stuff he just said, and that queen was mentioned earlier. I bet this guy was a cult member for lunatic bunnies. Or kidnappers. Or some combination of the two. Hell, he probably drugged me, and I'm having hallucinations. The queen's probably the boss for the lunatics, possibly a brainwasher.
"Ha! You're funny, but I can't wait to wake up from this dream. I'm dreaming, right? Or maybe I'm going insane!" I slapped myself, hard, just to see if I could wake myself up. I giggled and felt my cheek burn from the impact. Wow, I must be really high, 'cause I was feeling pain in a dream. My companion, however, wasn't as amused as I was, and slung my body across him to carry me bridal-style. I felt his hand caress my cheek.
"Ugh, damnit, I'm supposed to make sure you came to the queen spotless. Now I'm really going to get a mouthful from her about my misconduct." he muttered. I continued to laugh like a maniac, oblivious to the increasing amount of light coming from below us.
The anthromorphe, or whatever he is, gripped me a wee bit tighter than before. "Hey, Maka? Hold on tight," he said "because in a ten seconds, we'll arrive at our destination". I did what he asked, because my conscience was telling me that this was just a really weird dream. I was looked down and saw what appeared to be a ginormous pink mushroom. A pink mushroom.
"Hey! Freak show! I see a mushroom!" I yelled happily. Also, I could see color again, and the face of the anthromorphe who was holding me.
"My name's Soul, thank you very much."
"I'm sorry, but I couldn't care less."I shut my eyes, and waited for the dream to end. But, since the world(s?) hate me, I didn't wake up, and we crashed into the mushroom.
Surprisingly, we bounced on the mushroom a few times. It was as bouncy as the trampoline I had when I was younger. Eventually, we stopped bouncing, but I was overcome by a wave of dizziness. There's only so much a girl can handle in a nightmare. I heard Soul stand up beside me and he grabbed my wrist and pulled me up gently. After he steadied me, I slowly opened my eyes, and gasped. I saw colorful mushroom, tall as trees, everywhere I looked, in every shade of the rainbow. They surrounded us, and I suddenly felt very, very small. And the grass beneath the mushroom was a lush shade of pastel green, with tints of other colors mixed in. I rubbed my eyes and looked again. Same scenery. I groaned, realizing that I wasn't dreaming, because everything looked realistic. And that bastard the bunny mutant smirked at me and said three words that would change my life.
"Welcome to Wonderland."
Heh, poor Maka. I kinda feel bad for her now, since she has no clue what's in store for her. Next up, the two will start their trek through the mushrooms and meet someone a bit…peculiar.
Ok. I admit it. Screaming as you fall down a hole ain't Maka-like at all, but seriously, what sane person wouldn't. .. OOC alert for this chapter; she's being hysterical, in a crazy way.
I apologize for how badly I wrote this, but I really want to get over the falling scene.
