My Escape

Chapter 3: Back down the rabbit hole

"Oh, look this outfit would be just precious on you" "Mum,Its my birthday party not a wedding reception."Evening laughed as Mrs. Watson placed the dress back on the rack with a tiny frown "What's this I hear about a wedding? You ain't gonna bring any man to my house." Mr. Watson grinned tasselling the girls hair "Pops, I'm turning 17 soon. besides who would date me? I'm not pretty like the other girls" Evening said looking down with a faded frown "Don't you say that Honey Bee, What about that boy you keep eye fluttering too at your school?" Evening blushed "Mum, I don't 'flutter' my eyes, and besides he's already got a girl friend" Mr. Watson jumped in the topic "You mean that Valley lookin' girl? Whats-er name. Veronica, oh, kid she's Everyone's girlfriend. If I wasn't so old and wrinkled...ahem and married she'd be my girlfriend too."He said getting a glare from his wife making Evening laugh "Wait till we get home, George. Trust me honey, just be you and guarantee you'd get ALL the boys, and I will help you laugh at everyone of 'em" Evening smiled "Thanks Mum and Pops. Can we go to a different store, the all the white and pink in here is gonna make my eyes melt" She offered stepping out the store entrance to the rest of the mall. Evening was walking next to Mrs. Watson who was having a tiny spat with her husband. She wasn't paying attention, she just walked along with them letting her mind wonder to her 'dream'. 'Lets see They did show me how it wasn't a dream but... its so strange. That I can enter their world in my sleep. If I was able to do that...then why haven't I done it till now?' He thoughts were cut short "Eve, watch out." Mrs. Watson's call was in vain as Evening collided with someone and landed on the floor. The Watson's went to rush and ask about her wounds when she raised a hand to stop them. Without looking at the other person "I-I'm sorry I wasn't looking where I was walking"She said turning her eyes to the person "No it was my fault I should of moved" The voice was familiar to her and she instantly looked at her obstacle "Oh, hey Weathers, why are you here?"The boy held his hand to her "E-Elliot, No reason, just Shopping for my birthday. Why are you here?" She asked nervously taking his hand to stand "Just hanging out, I guess. Who are they?" He asked pointing to the Watson's "Oh they-" "Who are we, and who are YOU talking with our Eve"Mr. Watson threatened causing Eve to plant her face in her hands "Pops please," "Have you been trying to move onto Ev-" "Oh hush, George, Ignore him Hun, He's just an old coot. I'm Nellie Watson and This is George, my husband, are you a friend of Eve's?"Mrs. Watson asked sweetly. Evening blushed in embarrassment "You could say that, we're in the same class. I'm Elliot Wallace, My father runs a hospital not far from here." He said shaking hands with the Watson's as he spoke Eve was signaling to Mrs. Watson from behind him letting her know he's the one she's been crushing on and stopped her funny gestures when the boy turned "You know, I'm sorry about earlier" The dirty blonde boy smirked "Do you want to come hang with me? that if its okay with Mr and Mrs. Watson" He said gesturing to them Evening held in a smile "I dunno, Is it alright? Mum, Pops" "Oh go ahead Honey, George and I haven't been out alone much, enjoy yourselfs" "and don't lay a hand on her."Mr. Watson threatened again "No worries Sir"Elliot replied holding his hands up defensibly "Come on Evening"He said leading her away "I'll see you two by the fountain!"She called to the Watson's.

Evening was in pure bliss, walking next to the boy who she thought never noticed her. "H-hey Elliot, Why'd you invite me. What happened to Veronica? You don't seem to be someone who just hangs out alone at the mall" He smirked at her "We had an argument and she just walked off, I was on a date with her today and she got mad that I wouldn't get her some $200 bag.." Evening frowned "Not to be mean, but isn't that a little too pricey,even for her?" "You can say that. Anyway your birthday is soon right?" "y-yea I'm turning 17 this coming Friday" His smirked didn't fade as he grabbed her hand and pulled her to a small shop "Elliot, where are you-" He stopped in front of a class counter releasing her hand "pick one"He said pointing at the glass case. She looked in the case and saw different necklaces and charm bracelets that priced from $30-$99 "That's way to much, dude. You can't waste your money on me" She declined "Just pick one, its your birthday soon right? so just take a pick"He beckoned. she sighed nervously looking to the case. but she couldn't help but notice how friendly Elliot was.

In school he hardly ever looked her way, and the only time the spoke was when he needed help on an English assignment or Math homework, something was strange and she didn't like it. She was happy that he was talking to her but it feels forced. Her eyes wondered around bashfully for the cheapest thing until a glimmer caught her eye. all alone in the corner was a necklace, The Silver pendant was a small locket with a heart and arrow engraved on it with a single Turquoise jewel in the center, she let her eyes wonder to the tag that read 32.99 "then...This one."She said tapping the glass gently, he looked "Don't you want something better? I don't care about money you know"He said leaning on the case. she shook her head "Its fine, I like simple things"she said softly "Okay then" He sighed as if he wanted her to get something pricey. He called the clerk over and paid for the necklace. He smirked and placed the small gold colored box in her cupped hands "Happy Early Birthday" He said, a smile escaped her lips "thank you"She said pocketing the case not wanting the necklace to tangle with the one she was wearing. "Lets get you back to your...parents? You don't look alike, no offence" "Something like that,They're not biological."She said stiffly not wanting to get into the subject. She was glad that Elliot was talking, let along buying stuff for her but she still had a gut feeling that something was wrong...

The rest of the day Eve and her temporary family, enjoyed themselves going store to store and bought a few things. Right around sunset they decided to head back home. The car ride was mostly silent there were occasional questions or remarks asked to each other. "So did you have fun with, Elliot." Mrs. Watson grinned, Evening's eyes removed themselves from the rushing scenery outside the window and gave a confused brow, "I guess so.."She murmured "Did something happen?" "Not really, he was just acting weird...He would buy his girlfriend a pricey bag but he insisted I pick out expensive jewelry for my birthday present." "Maybe he likes you, I remember when I met Nellie I tried wining her over with jewelry even though I was broke as a mother-" "George... but he's right Honey, maybe that Wallace boy has some feelings for you"She Smiled at the girl in the backseat 'but still...something isn't right' Evening gave a smile "Maybe, but I can't jump to conclusions." "You'll never know, Eve...Who wants My famous spaghetti and meatballs for dinner" in a perfect harmony Eve and Mr. Watson dropped the subject and let out a "whoo~" with a laugh...a small habit they decided on when Mrs. Watson would make her best dishes.

The rest of the car ride was comfortable, and when they arrived home dinner went quickly, and almost quietly as Evening focus one thing on her mind 'I have to try tonight' her thoughts were cut by Mr. Watson "Eve, stop trying to predict the future with your pasta" "huh?" "you're staring as if you're seeing some vision" "oh I was just thinking, sorry Pops" Evening smiled forking the remains of her food in her mouth "My show is gonna start in an hour so I should head to the bath" She quickly took her plate to the sink Mrs. Watson was washing in and thanked them both before dashing into the restroom to get rid of the day's dirt and smells.

She didn't know what to do. She sat at the edge of the bed staring at the TV screen that was playing 'Bleach', she ignored the scene that was playing and focused more on her thoughts that wouldn't settle 'If it really was real, can I survive in a world full of arancar and hollows when I'm a human, but what if...maybe the fact the worlds are different- no, impossible, Aizen was able to crush me with his power so..' she saw the small boxed necklace on her night stand where she placed it. She smiled to herself opening the case and putting on the locket. It fit nicely resting between her collar bone and chest 'but then, there's Elliot... I'm probably over thinking it' She turned the tv off and sat in the dark silence of the room, wondering if she can really go back "I have to try"She mumbled to herself standing up and lifting the Dress of her nightstand, She stared at it "I can't go in my Pjs now can I?" she mumbled before a smirk graced her features, "Maybe Alice can go down the rabbit hole again"She joked to herself and changed into the outfit. She felt weird...did she honestly think she could go back any time she wanted? She still didn't abandon that it could be a dream, but she just had to try...she wanted to go back, she wanted to find her own special place, even if it was a fictional world, She needed an Escape. Lying in bed she relaxed her body, closing her mind from the outside world and clearing her thoughts, and let her self become taken over by sleep.

"Look, its her, I thought she vanished""How strange" Evenings eyes fluttered open. She saw the familiar white walls of Las Noches. She sat up and found herself in the familiar metal table she left the last time. She trailed her eyes and saw Szyel, and Gin "Oh, so I take it I'm not wanted?" She asked "Thats not it, we thought you left for good, is all" "How long has it been since last time? You honestly think that after I basically was dancing on your meeting table I'd just Leave and never come back...pft like hell"Gin kept his large grin "You have a point, you were gone for about three days" he answered "three? But it's only been one in my world!" "It could be the way the worlds are linked, its similar to the time differences in Soul Society, the Human world and Hueco Mundo but much shorter as time passes"Szyel answered with a hand to his chin "Either way we have to see Aizen-sama about this.." Evening sighed "uuuhg... there goes my neck"She murmured jumping off the table following after the Octova and Fox faced Gin.

"You know I'm starting to feel a massive tide of De'ja Vu..."She said looking up at Aizen who sat Self-righteously upon his throne. Aizen only looked down at her "pleasant, seeing you here Ms. Weathers, I was hoping you return." "how nice of you? I feel like you don't consider me as a friend..." Aizen smirked "You are correct, I have a reason for waiting for you to come back" "and that is?" His eyes sharpened as if he came up with the greatest plan "I will help you if you help me." "Dude, you're not making much sence. How Will I help you? I don't have any powers" "Exactly but what you do have is knowladge" Evening didn't like where this was going "just spit it out."She snapped "Whatever it is you want me to help with, how will you help me?" "If you help me, I can make sure that those parents of yours will never harm you again, and that your friend remain unharmed" she thought about the offer...'If I help him...I won't have to put up with it anymore but...' "It depends...what do you need me to do?" "You said you know everything about us and what will happen, correct?" He didn't wait for an answer and continued "I want you to tell us how we could over throw soul Society by avoiding any mistake we will or have made?" "What?" "must I put it simply, Tell me all you know and help us win." Evening didn't excpect this...well she did but she was hoping it wouldn't happen. Though it felt kinda good...to have the fate of Aizen's army dancing in her palm, but at the same time...why was she afraid?

Note: I'd like to appologize if this Chapter was Crap, or the fact Ulqui hasn't actually spoken with the girl yet XD I sort of want to clear a bit of Evenings Life outside of Hueco Mundo as well so some chapters will be partly espada-less... I'm bad at planing situations ahead but I assure you I'll try to get better! I can promise there will be some Ulquiorra Vocalization next chapter DX so don't kill me fellow Ulqui-fangirls and Poll voters!
