Previously, on MAIW…

The world hates me. I was expecting that book to knock him out for a good twenty minutes, but my luck loves to run out on me.

"Maka?"

I hightailed and ran as fast as I could to the clearing. For some reason, I was stilling holding onto the odd book about symmetry. Hopefully, my abductor hadn't seen me, and I doubt he had.


The ground blurred below me as I felt a surge of adrenaline. The sound of my footsteps echoed in my ears and I felt a bead of sweat trickle down my forehead. My hair was sprayed about as I ran towards the Red Queen's Castle, or what I thought would be the Red Queen's Castle. The signpost was quite odd. I mean, it switched directions at the last minute! And then the laughter I heard as I ran from the mushroom forest… well there certainly was something living in those woods.

My stomach announced its complaints with a loud grumble. I groaned. That bastard just had to snatch me right before lunch!

I shortened my stride to a slow jog. I felt out of breath and sweaty, but continued nonetheless. By now, I think I've been sprinting for a good ten minutes, but I don't have a watch or anything for the matter. In fact, all I have at the moment are my clothes on my back and the book on symmetry in my hand.

Obviously, I was still wearing the same clothes I was wearing back on Earth, a light green windbreaker and a pair of black leggings. I was wearing a white tank top underneath, which covered my ever-flat chest (being seventeen and having only an A cup really sucks). The outfit wouldn't be good for the cold, but nice enough for cool spring weather.

It seemed pretty warm around here, so I don't have to worry about my clothing that much, besides the fact that my clothing doesn't belong to this world. But the landscape here was equally as odd as the mushroom forest I landed in.

For starters, there was more light, which should be expected. Without the towering mushrooms, the sun was visible in the sky. Or at least I hope it's the Wonderland equivalent of the sun.

And the colors! They were so bright, popping out everywhere. Everything I see is so goddamn colorful, like the rainbow decided to puke happiness on the ground.

The grass was the color you imagine bubble gum to be; bright, pink, and sugary. And to call it grass would be a stretch, since it seemed much thinner and glossy, almost like candy floss. Hell, it even smelled like it! I could feel how soft it was, since it felt like I was walking on cotton balls. If I wasn't running for my life, I would've bent down to inspect it, and maybe taste some.

There were still a few more mushrooms scattered along the path, but they were smaller, around a meter to a meter and a half tall. And neon.

Yes, neon. Neon green, neon blue, neon pink, neon you name it. They even had neon polka dots. Some flowers grew beside them, a cluster of lilies, bluebells, and poppies. They looked pretty normal, compared to all the bizarre stuff I've been seeing.

I collapsed on the soft pink grass, laying down with my limbs sprayed about. Honestly, I've never been this exhausted in my life. I began to recall a show I saw on TV, some survival program. What did those survival people do in these situations? Gather food? Get water? Make a shelter? I don't even know what I can touch around here. In fact, what do I even know about Wonderland? I mentally listed everything I knew so far.

-I came via portal to Wonderland

-The bunny freak was actually an anthromorph named Soul

-Anthromorphes are basically people with extra abilities and share characteristics with a certain animal

-I was ordered to come by someone named the Red Queen

-Soul is looking for me right now

-I have a book on symmetry

-I found a signpost which had me running towards the Red Queen's castle

-I'm hungry. And yes, hunger is a priority in the middle of nowhere.

I sat up and glanced at the sky. I knew I had to go to the Red Queen's castle, to the woman who ordered my arrival in this strange land. But why? What made me, of all the people in the world, special enough to send the anthromophe to abduct me? And how did Soul even know my name?

Perhaps I shouldn't go to the court of the queen. I had no clue who I was going to face, nor did I know what they had sin store for me.

My stomach growled yet again. I stood; dusting some tufts of the pink grass on my pants, and faced the path I came from. Or what I thought was the right side of the path. I couldn't remember which side I came from. I muttered few words that would make a child run home screaming for the mother, feeling myself break into cold seat. This was really bad, a disaster on so many levels. The way I came from was indistinguishable: both sides of the path looked exactly the same.

I felt panic rise inside of me, reeling off me in waves. I'm an idiot. I should've figured a way to track my progress around here, like using pebbles or something. At least it was a 50/50 decision, since one was bound to get me to the castle, and the other would leave me right back to Soul. So much for optimism.

"Ex-excuse me…" I jumped, and almost screamed. That's it. I can't stand all this shit and stress happening around. My eyes narrowed and my mouth opened, ready to verbally abuse whoever just scared the living shit out of me.

"Look buddy, what the hell do you want?!" I spun around and faced the poor soul who decided to feel my wrath.

What stood before me was definitely an anthromorphe. A pair of black cat ears perched on the top of the anthromorphes's head, twitching in between a mop of pink hair. The anthromophe stood uncomfortably, shoulders slouched and limbs huddled together, with a fuzzy pink tail quivering in her hands. She wore a black hooded jacket which clung to her somewhat petite figure, and black jeans underneath. Her eyes were a deep onyx, unsettling and unusual.

"I… I was won-wondering i-if you were lost…" she stuttered.

I scoffed.

"Psh! I'm fine, I totally know where I'm going! In fact I was planning to go that way, to the castle. So, see ya!" I power walked out the right, secretly hoping it was the right way.

"Um… you're go-going back to the mu-mushroom forest…" she whispered. I stopped midstep and turned around slowly, facing the stranger again.

"Whoopsy, daisy. I meant to go the other way! Thanks for catching that mistake." She blinked a few more times, and let her posture shrink a bit more.

"Th-that's to the la-lake…"

She slowly raised her tail and pointed to yet another path. I frowned. How odd. I didn't see that one.

"And th-that's to the ca-castle…"

Crap. At this rate, I was going to be lost here forever. I laughed shakily and began to walk on towards the path her tail was pointing at.

"Thanks!"

I hustled to the path, my hand gripping the book hard to steel my nerves. My eyes viewed the ground as I continued to sprint off. That is, until I ran into something.

As I spun around falling to the ground, I looked up and there the cat-anthromorphe stood before me. But this time she looked different, to say the least. The anthromophe I saw before was the complete opposite of who I saw before. A crazed grin stretched across the entirety of her face, revealing a set of sharp white teeth. Her eyes were wild and looked at me, yet still seemed to not focus directly me. Her tail swished back and forth, reminiscent of a metronome.

"I… I can't handle strangers, especially ones that are human." She murmured as she leaned towards me.

I crab walked backwards, trying to put as much distance as I could from her.

"Hi again?"

How did she get here that fast without me noticing, and why was she even here? Before I knew it, her arm snaked out and grabbed a hold of my leg, but my training kicked in as I released a front snap kick.

She snatched my leg mid kick, and as her tail slid my hands together. I felt the fur bind my wrists together in a matter of seconds. If possible, her grin grew wider as her eyes began to dilate. She leaned further, so that we were nose to nose. Her tongues slid out between her teeth, a wet pink thing that touched my cheek. She licked the side my face, leaving me shuddering. I winced in pain as the anthromorphe began to giggle.

She muttered a few more words, almost inaudible. "I can't handle her wrath…Now I've separated from the queen's puppet, I suppose it's time for you to play with me. I love breaking my toys, and watch them sing. You need to make music for me, little human!"

She tightened her grip on all of my limbs and squeezed hard, hard enough to make me arch my back and release a bloodcurdling scream.
