Chapter 10: Maka in Wonderland
I lay on the couch in the living room, it was late morning but felt like midnight. Mama's house was very quiet when its just us two, but soon I will be in a new city, and Mama will travel everywhere. Mama walks into the kitchen which was connected with the living room, she ties on a white apron and turns on the burner. She turn towards me and smiled.
"Maka I'm making apple tarts sound good to you?" I nod, Mama always made treats, but not like cookies or cakes no she makes her treats out of fruits but I never complained they taste as good as a cake, I'm sure.
"Maka you only have three days until you go to Death City, excited?" I nod, but I didn't really want to, I said yes when they asked me if I wanted to go though. Mama turns away, she was a very pretty woman, blond hair that always stayed down and emerald green eyes, people say we look alot alike but I see no similarities whatsoever.
"Oh shit, uh Maka." I stare at Mama.
"Yea?"
"Can you please go get some apples at the store, I don't have any right now."
"Yes Mama." I got up and walked towards my room, I walked up to my dresser and rummaged through trying to find something to wear. I pulled out a yellowish dress, it'll have to do I guess. I slipped the dress on and went through my hair, I put it up in pigtails. I grabbed my pink bag or purse, and walked out the door to the store.
I walk into the store which wasn't all that busy, but this town that I live near is very small. I walk to the fruit section and bought a bag of apples, I payed for them and left. I started down the long walk back home which would take an eternity if ya ask me, then I noticed something in the wooded area near my house which Mama told me to never go into or I'll be grounded forever. Something didn't look right, I walked alittle closer to the object figuring out it was alive but not any species I know of. It was small but had a huge head, big ears that look like something on an elf but much bigger, its hands were pretty big to, and its nails were painted black. The little thing looked at my, I jump back, it looks like it has a mask on and he has very sharp teeth, and he has horns. He smiles at me and began to talk.
"What are you waiting for?" I stare at it.
"What, you mean me?" He asked me again, but I shook my head.
"I don't understand. Are you asking me what I'm waiting for?" No answer, he chuckles then asks another question.
"What are you missing?" What the hell does that mean? I stare at him.
"I am not missing anything!" He chuckles, again.
"I'm leaving, my Mom told me to never talk to little demon freaks." He gives me a bored look.
"Oh ha ha ha." I started walking near Mama's house.
"You are so naive." I stop and look behind me to catch a glimpse of the demon, he continues.
"You don't even know what you're missing in life, Maka." My eyes grow wide, he started to run. I ran after it, him, whatever! I easily caught up to him, I was always a fast runner for some reason. I saw him stop in front of a black tree he smiled and disappeared into the tree.
"What the?" Where did he go? And how did he know me? I never met that freak. I walk up to the tree then touched, it started making ripples.
"Its like water." It was a black liquid but what? I stick my hand into the tree. I walk into the black tree, I had to know who that demon is. The blackness of the tree. It was creepy I have to admit but okay where the hell is that demon? I started to wonder if I'll even get out of this tree and back home. I tripped over something.
"OW god..." I saw what had tripped me, and I picked it up. A tiny chair. I looked forward to see that I was bigger than everything. I saw the demon he chuckled then ran into what looked like a mirror. A tiny mirror. I look down then a weird figure with what looked like a skull over his face.
"Hey mister can I go through." The man responds.
"No nononono no, you are to big you'll squish me like a bug, see I'm small." I sigh. I saw two random drinks on the counter. Stupid enough I drank one. I started growing bigger.
"AAHHHH!" I touched the ceiling.
"Mama always told me I would get bigger but this is ridiculous!"
"Nononononono now you are to big I look like a piece of dust!" I give him a look.
"Let me drink this." I drank the other glass. I grew smaller.
"Whoa... now am I the right size?" The guy nods.
"You are now the right size." I touch the mirror and my arm could move through.
"Do I?" He nods, I walk through the mirror. The floor under me started moving. Signs started lighting up. Then one sign said, going down?
"Going Down? No." I started falling.
"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH" I fell into a pool of water.
"NO IT'S RUINED!" I stare up at some caterpillar with the face of a human.
"Uh... what is this?"
"Your tears. A PERFECT NUMBER OF 8,888!" I was confused.
"Listen I don't want to be yelled at so where's a door?" The caterpillar sighs.
"Right there." I ran through the door. And I was on the ceiling. I fell.
"Owww" "My my who do we have here." I look up and saw a girl with black hair up in a pony tail, she was wearing a silver dress.
"Well not to be rude we always welcome guest." Her big blue eyes looked at me calmly.
"I am the duchess. And this is my kitty." I saw a purple like cat sitting on her lap. The cat glared at me. I shudder.
"Please come and sit, your name is?"
"M-Maka." She clasps her hands together.
"Splendid!" I smile, she seems so nice. The cat comes on my lap. She starts to purr, then comes near my ear.
"You're a stranger. You'll die." I shudder and shooed the cat away. A pumpkin faced flashed, I back away.
"Uh... I'm hungry, have any snacks?"
"Sadly my cook and waitress are amazingly bad at their job, can you go and get the food." I nod, anything to get away from that cat. I walk into a red door and I was outside and a house with no walls. I walk into the house and saw a girl with long brown hair and dark blue eyes and a cook hat.
"Damn I am no cook why do I have to cook, just because is not a good answer Duchess!" I walk over.
"Uh hi." She looks at me and looks back.
"I am no cook." I stood there watching then tea spilled on me.
"Sowwy ehahahahahahaha!" I turn and saw a blond girl with big blue eyes, and a big smile. She was still smiling.
"Hihi I'm the waitress for the Duchess and big sis over there is the cook." Not to be rude but they were terrible, the cook threw in everything and the waitress trips on solid ground.
"Cook give me that!" I tasted her cooking and added this and some of that I don't know I was grabbing at the nearest things.
"Here now try it." She tried it and smiled.
"See you should be the cook." I shook my head no way I'm staying here for long.
"Waitress watch." I grabbed a tray and started walking around with it and adding a few items.
"Now you." She about tripped again but I caught her and she laughs.
"YAY! Ehahahahahaha!" I smile and gazed at the sky, it's not different from my home place. Then I saw the pumpkin face and the cat creeped down then like that gone. I was scared now. I walked over to a lonely tree and rested my eyes. I open them to see I was in another room in a house.
"Hey a person." I look up and saw a guy who looked as old as my Papa sitting on grandfather clocks, someone explain why he has a screw in his head.
"Uh hi, a who are you?"
"Father Time." Okay walking away now, I saw a pair of black bunny ears, a rabbits here? I yank on an ear and a high yelp came from it.
"Owwy why did you do that?" It was a boy with uneven pink hair and big blue eyes about to cry, I must have yanked to hard. He stood up and stared at me then smiled.
"YAY A GUEST!" He hugs me then spins.
"Uh hi where am I?"
"The tea room silly." Tea room, I looked around, this place is... whats the word... oh quaint. I look at Father time.
"What time is it?"
"How should I know." He lights a cigarette and lays down. Wait he doesn't know wha... never mind. I walk around seeing all the tables and noticed a boy asleep.
"Why are you asleep?" No response, I poke him.
"NO WAIT DON'T WAKE HIM!" The bunny tackled me.
"What the hell was that for?"
"Don't wake him up or we'll be in trouble." I give a confused look.
"Why?"
"He was banished by the queen, he was loud and annoying." I sat up, Bunny twitched his ears. He giggled. I poured some tea into a cup and walked around, I tripped over a rock. Why is a rock here? It spilled on the sleeping boy. His eyes opened and grew wide.
"HYA HAAAAAAAA!" He ran off.
"What happened?"
"Uh-He..a.. woke up." Bunny looks scared.
"CRAP WE HAVE TO KNOCK HIM OUT!"
"How do we do that?" A sword formed in his hands.
"I'll be right back." I just walked away.
"Hey girl!" I look up at Father time.
"What?"
"I'm thirsty." I looked at a tea pot then Father time, I grab the tea pot and threw it at him. He wiped it off of him, he screamed a bit.
"I'm done." Bunny was covered in blood.
"Where is he?"
"I'll go get him." He drags the boy back and cleans off the blood. I sat down and hit my head against the table. Something hit my head lightly so I grabbed it, it was a note. It said 'be back soon'.
"Hey Bunny what is this mean?" Bunny read it and screamed.
"QUICK YOU HAVE TO HIDE!"
"Why?" He pushed me under a table and mouthed sorry.
"Father time you won't say anything won't you?"
"I make no promises." I peeked out from the table and saw a hat appear out of nowhere. I went back under, I'm scared. A mysterious voice began to speak.
"Hello Rabbit, Time what goes on?"
"Nothing, hehe." Bunny sounds nerves.
"So Time what happened while I was gone?" Father time spoke up.
"Someone threw a tea pot at me!"
"Okay everything sounds normal so far." Bunny giggles again.
"Rabbit what are ya hiding from me?"
"Nothing!" I heard someone coming closer.
"Okay this is where you hid the last one." He kicked me I covered my mouth.
"Whats under there a rock?" Bunny spoke up.
"No Steve is under that table." I was kicked again, all right one more time asshole. I was kicked again, before he could get his leg back I grabbed it and pulled him.
"AH WHAT THE FUCK AH GET IT OFF!" I let go and backed away, an arm came down and grabbed my pigtail, he pulled me out.
"Rabbit who is this?"
"Let go of me." Bunny cried.
"Don't hurt her!" I look at the guy who attacked me, he wore a weird suit and a top hat. His hair was white and eyes were red, and creeping me out.
"I'm Maka a girl who is lost and found herself here, so I'm trying to get back home, so let go of me."
"Oh sorry but you're going to die here anyway." I stood there then bit his hand. "Ah fuck ya little!" I backed away.
"Who are you anyways, you just attacked me." He looks away. Oh not going to tell me. Bunny hugs me.
"Can we keep her please?"
"I am NOT a pet!"
"No!" Bunny hugs me tighter.
"Please?"
"No!"
"Please?"
"No we'll get in huge trouble if she's stays. Remember the last one?" Father time holds up a skeleton.
"She rotted over age." I screamed.
"I'll take good care of her and hide her from the knights just please?" He sighs.
"All right fine, but she's not my responsibility."
"I said I'm NOT a pet, doesn't anyone listen to me?" He looks at me.
"Since you're staying I might as well introduce myself, names Mad Hatter." I giggle.
"Silly name."
"Hey I introduced myself little bitch." I went under a random table and saw a rock.
"Whats with the rock?"
"That's Steve." I waved high to Steve, his face changed. Okay creeped out. I didn't come out for a while, I wanted to go home! I fell asleep.
"What time is it?"
"I DON'T KNOW!" I sigh.
"Not asking you." I crawl out from under the table to notice Bunny awake.
"Hey." Bunny smiles.
"Morning Maka Chan." I have never been called that. I hate it. Hatter wakes up.
"Rabbit better hide your pet the guards are coming." I go back under the table.
"Why do I have to hide?" Bunny comes under and hands me a cake.
"Because the queen hates trespassers and she makes her guards check everywhere." Bunny crawls back out.
"I need a fork." Hatter threw a fork at me. I put the cake down and sigh, I whispered to Steve.
"I hate hiding Steve and I want to go home." Steve made a sad face.
"I don't like this place, I was going to go to a new school but now I'm stuck." Steve still had a sad face. I picked up the fork and took a bite of the cake.
"And Mama, is she worried, I've been gone for maybe a day." Steve made a shock face. I heard foot steps.
"Hello we have..."
"Yeah we know, now just get it over with." The foot steps filled the room, I hugged Steve. I didn't breath.
"We're done here men lets go." The footsteps vanished. I crawl out.
"I don't like hiding."
"I don't like you." I threw a cup at Hatter.
"Damn lady why do you have to be cruel?" I growl. I went back under the table. Bunny gave me a pillow, I lay on it and took a nap.
"Hey Maka Chan." I woke up and saw Bunny smiling.
"Maka Chan, Hatter and I are going to visit the Queen, I'm going by force. We'll be gone for about an hour, kk?" I nod. I heard them leave. I finished my cake and walked out.
"Hey Father time." He lit a cigarette and waved. I looked at the place, it was a mess.
"What happened?"
"The guards that's what." I hate messes just hate them. I started cleaning.
"Stop." I stare at Father time.
"What?"
"Wear this." It was a maid's outfit.
"No way in hell." He threw it at me.
"It's not for me Maka I want to give a friend a big surprise." I sigh.
"Will you tell me what time it is if I wear it?"
"Fuck you, just put it on." I went under my table and turned Steve around.
"No peeping." I took off my yellow dress and slipped on the maids outfit, I took out my hair ties and put the head thing on, I have no clue what its called. I slid the net leggings on and put the maid shoes on. I crawled out.
"Well?"
"Nice." I started cleaning again, it was horrable. I found a broom and swept the floor and dusted the glasses and sleeping beauty. I cleaned the whole place and it looked much better. Bunny walked in.
"You know I hate the Queen you bringing me wasn't a good idea a..." I wave.
"What's your problem Rabbit?" Bunny pointed at me. I shrugged.
"I cleaned the place." I heard Father time chuckle. I walked closer.
"Uh guys...you okay?" I put a finger up to my mouth and thought. Hatter covered his face.
"TAKE THAT OFF!" I look.
"I can't Father time said..."
"FORGET ABOUT WHAT TIME SAID A GIRL YOUR AGE WEARING THAT IS INAPPROPRIATE!" Bunny giggles.
"You like seeing Maka Chan in that don't you?"
"WHAT NO WAY!" I giggle.
"Take it off Maka Chan." I nod and ran under the table. That was funny. I got changed and turned Steve back around he had a bored face.
"Sorry Steve." I lay down and look at the table. I wanted to be at home now. I saw a pumpkin face.
"You'll never go home." I hiss at the cat.
"You're missing something ...Maka." She disappeared again. How did she? I don't really care. I stare at the table again.
"Hey." I glance at my side, out of all people why Hatter?
"What?"
"Can't talk to you?" I nod. Hatter chuckles.
"So do you like it here?" I sigh.
"I wanna go home." He messed with my hair. For awhile it was quiet but we didn't care. I yawned.
"You can go now." Hatter got out and left. Why am I here? I want to know, I remembered that demon saying I'm missing something but what? I fell asleep while the question was still unanswered.
"Tell me please!" Bunny is begging again.
"If you don't shut up I'll make you a fuzzy hat." Bunny held his head.
"No don't make me a fuzzy hat, I'll make a terrible hat, blood and flesh everywhere!" Hatter sighs. Being here three days, I've gotten use to everything even time telling. But I still miss home and Mama. I've missed my chance at the school.
"Hatter please!"
"You're not taking Maka anywhere she'll be captured in minutes." Bunny got his sword.
"I'll protect her." I smile and hug my so called 'master'.
"No that sword is a piece of junk."
"Who you callin junk?" I panic.
"Did the sword just talk?"
"Yea problem lady?" Hatter got up.
"If she doesn't come home don't blame me." Bunny jumps in joy and grabs my arm. We ran out a door and I was in the same exact place I started!
"URG NOW I'LL HAVE TO GO ALL THE WAY BACK!" I started saying unspeakable things which made Bunny faint.
"Bunny?"
"I'm okay." Thank the lord.
"Hatter was right I shouldn't have taken you somewhere." Bunny grabs my arm and walks me back. I open the door.
"Hatter?" Hatter was sitting in a chair with regret on his face. Bunny screamed, I about did to. I saw the Queens guards.
"Take her away, three days here I never!" They grab my arms and take me away.
"Hatter they're taking Maka Chan!" Hatter nods. I saw the guilt on his face.
"You told them?" I about cried.
"I'LL HAUNT YOU FOREVER YOU ASSHOLE, REMEMBER THAT!" They walk me into a pitch black room and one light shown. A woman sitting on her thrown, the Queen.
"So you are the one who hid, Hatter was right clever." She walks down, her hair was an awkward blond and a braid was at the front, her eyes reminded me of snakes.
"Your punishment is death. Today is your last day, make it last in the cage." They threw me in the cage and pulled me higher. I was on the next level where it was grass. I was trapped, tears of sadness and rage streaked down my face. I waited for my death.
"Nya I told you hehe." I look around but saw nobody not the cat, damn that cat.
"This place has every messed up human here but I bet there are no frog people." A frog came by me.
"Ribbit Ribbit." It changed into a human.
"Damn uh... ah a werewolf!"
"Yo." A wolf man aw shit uh...
"Ah a dude with lots of shirts and scarfs riding a bike!" Ha nothing like that here.
"Oo look at me I'm ona bike!" Ah...damn ran out of ideas. I felt myself being lowered. I saw Hatter.
"Get away from me!"
"SHHHHHHHH!" I whispered.
"Go away I fucking hate you!"
"Shut up I'll get you out." He opened the door. I stayed in one spot.
"I'm not moving." He picked me up.
"Fuck you asshole let me go!"
"Shut up!" He ran through the doors and went past a tree. I was in the spot where I started ...again. I saw the Duchess, cook, waitress, Bunny, Sleeping Beauty who was awake, Father time, and Steve. The cat appeared on my head. I reached for her so I could KILL her! I look at the ceiling.
"Hey I'm a symmetrical butterfly!" Hatter threw a rock at one of his wings. Duchess comes up.
"Maka you know why you're here?" I shook my head. The cat gave me a pumpkin.
"With that you'll go home." I look at all of them. The cook and waitress cried and hugged me.
"Yea I'll miss you guys to!" They walked behind the Duchess, I hugged Bunny.
"Thanks Bunny." He hugged me back. I look at Father time. "Come here ya little maid." I hugged him. I saw Steve, he had a crying face.
"Bye Steve."
"Ah I never knew Steve could do that AHHH!" Bunny hides behind Father time. I look at Hatter.
"Thanks to you I've could have been killed!" He looks at me. I hug him.
"Thanks for getting me out of that." Hatter pushes me away.
"Geh... yeayea I'll miss you to just go I hate long good-byes!" I smiled. The demon grabbed my leg.
"You are still wondering Maka right?" I nod.
"You'll know once you meet your new life."
"New life?" Everyone nods, butterfly boy falls from the sky. I laugh.
"Blow on the pumpkin." I blew and I was surrounded in orange dust.
"Good Bye!" They all shouted at the same time.
"Bye Maka."
I woke up near a hole in the ground, apples were next to me and wears the tree? The black tree is gone. It was a dream? No it can't be.
"Maka there you are gone for two hours!"
"HUH?" Two hours, I wasn't gone for that long.
"Mama I was gone for days!" She laughs.
"My beautiful baby girl had a silly dream." I sigh and got up.
"Wanna help me cook?" I smile.
"Yes I would love to Mama!" I ran past her.
"Last one home has to clean when there done!"
"Maka get back here I ain't cleanin!" New life. Now I want to go to Death City and go to the new school. My new life begins!
