The Rabbit, the Violinist, and the Tree Runner
Author's Note: Okay I read the fanfic over and decided to keep it as is even though it seems to be going fast. Sorry that's just the way my mind works, and thanks for the reviews. Also sorry I haven't updated in a while, I've just been lazy.
FYI: 2 New Chapters
Everyone- in Wonderland
Peter smiles at Iris who seems to be enjoying herself. Martella on the other hand is screaming insults at Peter and keeps saying that they're going to die. She clings to her violin case and tries to keep her drawings from flying away.
Iris looks down and sees they are advancing towards a blinding white light. Thankfully Martella is to busy trying to get her drawings that she doesn't look down or else the screaming would get even worse.
Iris closes her eyes and pulls her knees to her chest like she's doing a cannonball into a swimming pool. Peter watches her with amusement and the bright light engulfs all three of them.
Martella is the first to wake up. She slowly gazes at her new surroundings, thankful to not be falling anymore. They landed onto a stone floor that looks out to the clouds. It looks like a rooftop or a balcony. When she finally gets a grasp on reality she immediately reaches for her violin. It's laying next to her and she let's out a relieved sigh. Iris on the other hand looks like she was knocked out. Martella is just about to shake her awake when she shoots up and scares her just as much as the falling did.
"Sorry! Didn't mean to scare you, I have a bad habit of waking up that way," Iris apologizes. She looks around and waves to Peter who is walking towards them.
"Sorry I was gone I had to get something from the queen," he informs them, "You seemed like you would be out for a little bit so I made a quick run to the castle. Looks like my timing was right."
"So we're in Wonderland right now?" Martella asks not sure whether to be happy she doesn't have to face school anymore or be scared because she followed this strange rabbit man to this place with out thinking it through.
"Yep, you're in Wonderland! Now I need both to drink this," he tells the two girls.
"Why in the name of sanity would we drink that?" Both of them shout.
"We really don't even know your name or what's in those vials, so I'm not drinking that," Iris points out. Martella nods in agreement.
"Okay then," Peter tells them and he takes out one of the hear stoppers and drinks the contents of the vial. Then he walks over to Iris and kisses her, forcing her to drink the liquid, just like he did with Alice.
At first Iris stumbles back, unable to say anything. Then after thinking it through she steps forward again and slaps Peter.
"You idiot! That was my first kiss!" she yells at him, blushing. He simply smiles and advances towards Martella.
"Oh no, you are not doing that to me to. Just hand over the stupid thing," she demands.
"Fine, here you go," and he drops the light purple vial into her hand. She makes a face a she drinks it but finishes it off.
"Now why did we have to drink that?" Martella asks.
"It's called the Potion of Hearts. Now that you've both drank it you must participate in the game. I have to go now, see you later," he waves goodbye and turns to leave, but not before flashing a mischievous grin at Iris.
"Can you believe that man?" Iris blurts out.
"He still didn't give us his name. By the way neither of us thought this through, did we?" Martella asks. Iris shakes her head in shame at herself.
"What do you suppose we do now?" Martella questions.
"I guess just take a look around and find some place to stay," Iris answers. They gather up Martella's things and head down a small trapdoor they found in the middle I the floor. Before they left Iris looked over the edge and found they were at the highest point of a center tower that was guarded by twelve smaller ones. It seemed like the small towers were the hours of a clock. When Martella heard this, she began to feel queasy so Iris led her down the trap door carrying her violin for her.
