Take me to Wonderland! No seriously someone take me because I really want to go! Sorry it's been so long since I've updated, I've been working on my other stories, plus school. Well it's here now, so enjoy.

Disclaimer: I do not own Pandora Hearts, I just give Break candy :3

Reim just stares at me through his glasses. I giggle at his nervousness, even though it hurts my chest every time I do. I flinch and he becomes aware that I'm still in great pain. But I just smile back at him as if nothing is wrong. He then finally decides to move towards me, he pulls up a chair right next to the side of the bed. He sits down and takes out a small notebook and pencil, ready to take notes.

"How are you feeling?" He finally gets the nerve to say.

I gently nod my head, "Pretty good." My bright red hair falls in front of my face, I quickly push my bangs back behind my ear. He takes note of that.

"We've noticed that you didn't have an illegal contractors mark on our chest..."

"Oh," I say in a joking tone, "You've been looking at my chest now have you?" I smile, as his face turns bright red.

"Not like that, Miss...," He pauses, clearly not knowing my name.

"Lucinda," I say, "Lucinda Weinstein."

"Oh, well. To be honest, I was quite surprised to find you outside of the Barma gate."

I'm taken aback. "So you were the one I saw. Well thank you for finding me." I smile at him.

He just pushes his glasses higher on his nose. "May I ask? How did you get in the Abyss and how you got out?"

A lump forms in my throat, "Well I was dragged in, and found this hole. I fell in and landed here." I don't want to tell him what exactly happened, but that was just the basis of what happened. I don't want to tell him about Somina.

He writes all that down in that handy dandy notebook of his. When he finishes, he looks up at me, his golden eyes cold and harsh. I return the glare back at him in the same way. He knows I'm hiding something, but I'm not willing to tell the tale.

He sighs, "Well how do you explain that injury?"

I snort in an obvious manner, "A Chain attacked me." He scribbles it down in his notebook as I roll my eyes.

Suddenly there is a knock at the door, and it creaks open. "Reim... may I enter?" says a voice, Reim must recognize the voice and invites it in. The door opens a bit more and there I see it. A wine red eye. My blood runs cold, I feel a shiver going down my spine. The door opens to reveal a man with short choppy white hair, as his bangs covered the right side of his face. He's wearing a purple dress shirt and a long white coat, the sleeves are long and cover his hands. A doll on rests on his shoulder. But his eye, it looks just like! My head throbs, my memory invades. The Chain's glowing wine red eye in the darkness as it raises it clawed paw to slice me. I shiver. "Perpare to DIE!" It echoes. I scream at the top of my lungs, pointing that the man in horror. The Chain, it's back, it's found me and now I'm going to die! Reim and the man were in shock, as I scream. "IT'S YOU! GET AWAY FROM ME!"

Reim shoots the man a look, "XERXES!" The man just shrugs. Reim turns his attention back to me. He tries to calm me down but I'm too focused on the man in front of me. His eye glares back at me in a murderous intent. "It's the Chain!" I scream at him. The man gives off a confused look, as Reim and him exchange glances. I shake uncontrollably, as the man steps forward. "STAY BACK!"

He freezes, "Look I'm not a Chain, and I'm not going to harm you. I promise."

I relax a bit, and I realize that the Chain and him look completely different. I know he is telling the truth. I just nod, and he steps toward the side of the bed. Reim glares at him, "What did you do this time Xerxes?"

"Nothing stupid!" I jump back. Did that doll on his shoulder just speak? I turn my attention towards the man, he has a smile on his face. The man, known as Xerxes, holds out his hand in welcome. "I'm Xerxes Break, and the little one here is Emily." I cautiously shake his hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you," say the doll named Emily. I smile and giggle. The smile on his face widens.

My voice becomes low, "I'm sorry about earlier. It's just you reminded me of someone or something." He lets go of my hand and just waves it around in a carefree manner.

"It's alright, I mean you just got dragged out of the Abyss. You must have experienced many traumatizing things." Reim elbows him in the side.

"Don't say that to her," Reim harshly whispers.

"Well it's true," he whispers back. They continue to argue. I look down at my hands and grab onto the sheets of the bed. Tears start to run down my cheeks. The men stop bickering when they hear me crying.

"What are you going to do with me?" I ask, afraid.

"We're going to cook you up and eat you," Break says. I shoot him a look and Reims hits him upside the head.

"Ow!" Emily yells.

"I'm serious!" I yell at him and he gives me a serious expression.

"Nothing, besides we don't know if you have family or..."

"I don't have one," I cut him off.

He raises an eyebrow, "Oh really?"

I nod, "Yes. My family has been dead for many years." To him this seems funny because he's smiling away.

"I see, well since you don't have any family," he leans in closer to me. He becomes inches from my face, "So? Would little miss red head like to join Pandora?" I blink a few times to make sure I heard him right.

I point to myself, "Me?"

He nods and backs away, "So how about it? Or are you not brave enough."

I huff in annoyance and glare back at him, "I'm in."

Break claps his hands together, "Wonderful!" Reim stands there confused on what just happened.

"Wait! What!" he exclaims.

Xerxes turns to him, and loops his arm through his. "Come on Reim! Let the lady get some sleep." He starts to drag Reim out of the room. He turns back to me. "Farewell! Have a nice nap!" He gives me a huge smile, and I return the gesture. I wave goodbye as he leaves the room with Reim.

I lay back down, staring up at the canopy above the bed. I wonder about that strange man, Xerxes. Well I didn't get my answers but I will soon, I know it. I start to close my eyes, to drift off to sleep.

I guess the journey starts from here on out...

Well that's all folks! Hoped you enjoyed, and review. Thanks!
