Chapter 3- Crazy
A little review of where the others are Amber looked around and scream, "I DON'T WANT TO BE STUCK IN A CRAZY TOWN!"
AMBER'S POV
I do not want to be here. Why did Nina have to fall down that stupid hole.
"NO MORE!" A voice shrieked.
What the…
"Who said that?" Jerome demanded.
"I did!" The voice said.
"Where are you?" I asked, looking around the room. There was a glass table, a key, a bottle, and a small door.
"I did!" The voice said.
"What? Talking walls?" Mara asked.
"While I never…" The voice said, sounding insulated. "I'm a doorknob!"
All our eyes turned to the small doorknob. "
What?" The doorknob demanded, sounding angry, "Never seen a talking doorknob?"
We all shook our heads. It made a HMPH an I looked around.
"Have you seen a boy with dark brown, a girl with dirty blond, and a white rabbit?" Patricia asked.
"Well, I never!" The doorknob sniffed. Patricia had it, she lunged for the doorknob and started pulling.
"Tell me before I rip you off this stupid door!" She yelled, I think she hit her head a little too hard.
"The bottle!" The doorknob choked. Patricia let go, smirked, grabbed the bottle and took a sip.
"It tastes…" I grabbed the bottle and took a sip myself.
"What the…" It tasted like bubble gum, cherries and… everyone took a sip and we all started shrinking.
"The key!" The doorknob sand, sounding drunk. I missed the key, shrunk, and found myself tiny on the table.
The others were on the floor.
"Oh gosh." I said, have I ever mentioned that I was terrified of heights? Well, it might come in handy.
"Amber!" Alfie squeaked, "Push the key down."
I closed my eyes, nodded and started the hard work of pushing it off. It was my size and I'm guessing you had to touch the key for it to shrink to your size.
As it fell, one of the keys sharp metal edges caught to my pants and pulled me down.
"AHH!" I screamed, pulling myself away from the key and free-falling. I closed my eyes and prayed for death to come quickly.
But, it never did.
When I opened my eyes I was in Alfie's arms.
"Oh my gosh, thank you Alfie!" I kissed his cheek and hopped off.
He got a dazed look on his face, cute.
PATRICIA'S POV
I grabbed the key, and dragged it over. It was a little too big, but than again, Amber didn't touch it when she was shrinking.
As I held the key it shrunk to the perfect size. I smiled and walked to the door.
"So where are my friends?" I demanded.
"In Wonderland." The doorknob said.
"And how do I get there?"
"Through me."
"And I'm guessing you know where they are in Wonderland."
"Well, they could be There. Or Here. Up. Down." The doorknob said, thoughtfully.
"Tell me before I rip you off your hinges." I threatened. I was in no mood to be stuck in Wonderland with a bunch of people who need to be at a asylum.
"At the Hatter's," The doorknob said, "But beware the Red Queen."
I rolled my eyes, opened the door, and the others and I walked out. The door closed behind us and we were on our own.
NINA'S POV
Fabian and I sat at the Hatter's tea, nervous.
"So, Fabian," I said, looking around quickly. "Just laugh way too loudly, scream, giggle, throw things, and tip over on your hand. Oh and-"
"Nina," Fabian said, who was sitting right next to me, "I know."
Fabian's 'Mad' outfit, had the same color scheme like mine. Apparently the Hatter believed Fabian and I are meant to be, even though he's only met Fabian for a minutes.
Maybe a day in Wonder- Underland.
Anyway, Fabian. He was in a dark blue tail coat with dark blue pants. He has a purple and black tie, and a black rose was on his chest.
He had a hat similar to the Hatter's, since people in Underland who were lower class and human, wore hats.
It was purple with black streaks with some dark blue thrown in. It was like we were going to a Mad ball. I heard the clinking metal in the distant and I ran through my parts.
I was Lacey, invited to the Hatter's tea party, I was Mad and I was married to Fabian, (AKA- Carson.) Simi-normal names, but here they were the strangest.
"BWHAHA!" I shrieked as the red card soldiers got here. I laughed, pounding my hand on the table.
The others snickered as they drank there tea.
Fabian threw his cup and we laughed harder.
"Silence!" A man with a scared face, in a red and black outfit, and was on a red horse with black hearts on it.
He jumped down and walked around the table. Coming to Fabian and I last.
"I don't believe I've seen you before."
Fabian and I look lost, it wasn't too hard, because we were. He slammed his hand on the table and got close to our faces. "And your names?"
"Carson." Fabian said.
"Lacey." I added with a giggle.
"And your married I presume."
We nodded harder and more then we should have, but it only helped the Mad look. The Hatter giggled creepily and the Hare was shaking so hard that I thought he might faint. The mouse was buttering a crumpet, (that's right, right?) and she suddenly laughed, threw the crumpet and stabbed the knife in the table.
"So your all Mad?" He knew the answer, but he was hoping, Fabian and I would slip and he could catch us and drag us to the Red Queen.
We suddenly laughed so hard that I was banging on the table, Fabian tipped his chair over, the Hare knocked his tea over, and the mouse was trying to catch herself on the table but she was doing a terrible job.
The man shook his head in disgust and in a minute the cards and he were gone. We kept the mad acting for another minute than we stopped.
Fabian set his chair right-side up and sat down, straitening his hat. My small hat, (that the width was as big if I made my hands into a circle.)
"Here," he said, putting setting my hat near the back of my head and more to the right side.
I heard footstep and we all froze.
It can't be the cards, I thought, they were just here!
Amber, Patricia, Mara, and the others walked through the trees.
"Stupid freaking roads." Patricia scoffed.
Fabian and I were so started that we didn't notice we had tipped our chairs, we leaned a little too far and down we came.
Our lips were only inches apart.
Amber ran to the table and looked down at us. We were going to kiss, but thanks to them…
We got up, set our chairs right, and straighten our hats again.
"What the heck happened to you two?" Patricia demanded, looking at us.
"Shh!" The Hare said, "The Red Queen can see all."
"Oh I doubt –" I jumped across the table, tackled her, and covered her mouth.
"Don't she's-" I made the crazy sign and got off her.
"What do you mean?" Mara asked.
I sighed, "Well, she likes to chop off people's heads, but if your Mad she let's you be. So we need remake you look Mad."
"Don't tell me I'll look like you two." Jerome said.
"If I have to, will it come in pink?" Amber asked, I rolled my eyes and Fabian, the Hatter, and I led them back to the house.
If you fell would you Drink the Bottle? Talk to a doorknob? Become Mad yourself and do so much more. Do you think they'll make it out alive? COMMENT!
