New Chapter!

Disclaimer: I do not own TVD

Chapter 3: It's time to leave.

I was officially screwed.

It wasn't an 'I am in the States kind of problem'. It was bigger. I saw the Welcome to Mystic Falls sign and at first, I thought nothing of it. I had thought it was the live remake of the town the TVD creators did to attract Fans. Well, how wrong was I? Much wrong, let me tell you. Much dead wrong.

I searched for the souvenir shop. It did not exist.

No one was there too.

The police station was empty. The phones did not work. Correction. 'It could not reach anyone' I had chosen to call. Duh! I was calling my family. Though, apart from my family, I did not think my classmates would care for or even notice my absence. I was not a loner per se. Sometimes I needed to stay alone. Far away from the overwhelming crowd and their judgmental eyes.

I had opened the police refrigerator door. There were beer bottles and a sandwich. Thinking back on it. If I had not had been damn hungry I would had passed. It was also stealing. At that moment I had only seen food. My stomach had woken up again and had urged me to silence it. I had no time to comply that I had already eaten half of the bread and ham.

I had sat down on one the rustic uncomfortable chairs. Maybe the policemen would come by. It would be better to stay here for now and then, I would find a way home. The windows light dimmed rapidly. I looked outside.

The night had fallen on the town. It was almost completely hidden under one thick shadow. My clock said that it was only five. How come it was this dark at five? Was it because I was in America? Was it normal?

I tried to search for a cot or a bed. In the back of the police station were bunk beds. One small problem. They were in cells. It was only for one night right? It was just till I waited for the cops to come and bring me home.

At nine I eat the other sandwich that was chilling in the fridge. I drunk some beer. There was not any water. Only from the sink. I argued with my mind, telling it to shut up. I knew I was stealing, in a police station no less. I would not hide it. I would tell them that I was starving. They could have some more. Me? I would not eat mom's cooking anymore. I missed it already. Being almost a day away from my parents had not made me homesick. This was new. I was really really far away. I could not contact them. The people here were missing. The animals were missing. There were old cars outside. The phones here were big and old. It was silent. I was in… Mystic Falls?

I had a hard time believing it. The sign had been real, my sore fist was proof. What had to happen for everyone to desert this town?

If and I am only thinking, so it would not be able to come true. The devil would not appear if I had not called him. If I was really in Mystic Falls. In the Vampire Diaries verse, then… where were the characters?

Two hours later, sleep took over and my body slumped down on the prisoner bed.

When I woke up, it was ten. I had needed sleep. No cops had come in. I opened the fridge again. I remembered that there had been one sandwich left. I reached out to take it and paused. Three sandwiches.

Three sandwiches?

Was… what?

Wait… what?

I blinked. My brows furrowed.

« What happened? » I croaked out. My throat sore from sleep.

There were three sandwiches in the fridge. Yesterday I had started with three sandwiches. Eating one as soon as I had opened the door. The second a few hours before turning the lights out. I had left one sandwich. And…

« Fuck! » I slapped myself. « Fuckityfuck.» I slammed the door shut and ran out of the police station. « Nononononononononononononononono! »

I ran faster and faster. Leaving the town behind. I was not dumb enough to run into the woods. I ran down the road. Some cars parked along the houses. Old, ancient cars. I ran even faster. My legs felt like jelly. I felt myself slowing down inch per inch but I pushed as hard as I could. Anything to run from the truth.

I could not bear to face it.

What would happen then?

I broke down again.

I slumped down on the cold tarmac. My legs were aching. I cried for what seemed hours.

I only wanted to go home. Why could I not go home?

I went to retrieve the grimoire from its original spot. As everything went back to its place from one day to another. The old trunk was at the end of the bed. I had wondered if it had been Sheila's or Aby's. The trunk was as dusty as yesterday. Surprisingly the interior was clean and tidy. It was clear that the one who had hidden the Grimoire in there did not want it found. Though, looking in an old trunk would be the first quest to search in for anything 'witch'. Old, rustic and with a monstrous web spoke loudly of witches.

The book had been heavy in my arms. I had brought it to the living room. I had sat on the couch and carefully placed it down on the coffee table in front of me.

Surprisingly the Grimoire was not in the old trunk.

I went back to my reading place and there it was.

On the coffee table was the grimoire. The same grimoire I had taken yesterday. It had not moved.

I rushed back to the trunk and looked inside. Empty. I did not know what I was trying to assure myself of. Were the objects I displaced were not supposed to go back to where they were?

Was I wrong then? Was I not in a Prison world?

TWENTY HOURS EARLIER

ONE IN THE AFTERNOON

I knew where I could find my answers. I did not know if Bonnie's house would have them but it was the best place to search.

Now I needed to find it. Were there no maps around here? Could the Gemini Coven not send me a birdy? Or another coven? No? Okay! Thanks.

I walked on, opening each door until I found the one I was searching for. It was not easy. They all looked the same. But when I saw Cuddles in a small bed, I knew I had found Bonnie's house.

I hugged Cuddles to my chest as I made my way through each room. I arrived in front of a large rustic trunk. It was spot on. I lifted the lid. Urg. Heavy. Inside was the answer to all my prayers… hopefully.

I read through the old book. Trying to make sense of the Latin words. I had never learned Latin. French and Spanish I knew and I could slightly decrypt it. There was nothing about a prison world or anything of the like.

PRESENT DAY

NINE IN THE MORNING

I flicked through the Grimoires pages again, assuring myself of what I had not found out yesterday. How had Bonnie found the spell to get out if it were not written in there?

I left the book on the coffee table going to the kitchen. The fridge was full again. It would be the only good thing about this. I would not need to leave and buy food. Here was cereals, vegetables, and meat.

After showering I wore one of Abby's, I think, dresses.

I went back downstairs looking the place over. What would I do to spend the time if I was stuck here?

FOUR FIFTY IN THE AFTERNOON

I enjoyed the last brush of the rays on my skin before the sky suddenly darkened. Looking up, you could see around disc moving over the sun, projecting a lard shadow over the mystic town. It was the solar eclipse. I did not know much about it. But I remembered that on May 1994, a solar eclipse had happened. The Gemini coven had used its strength to curse Malachaï to an unending loop. Reliving the same day over and over again.

The facts were laid flat on the ground for everyone to see.

1. From one day to another, its object goes back to its original place even if eaten and digested.

2. No person was seen since my arrival, nor animals

3. Old cars. Old telephones.

4. Miss Cuddles was not buried… yet

5. The solar eclipse

6. Mystic Falls sign

The only thing that did not glue was the Grimoire. But I resolved that because it was already magic, it did not stick to the loop spell. And maybe because the spell was done with a Benett's blood? It was a Benett's Grimoire. Or, just because it was owned by their family made it immune to others spells…

A review?

What do you think? Were you expecting Alice to be in the Prison world?

(She is called Alice. Fitting no? It isn't Alice in Wonderland :/ but Alice in Prison World!

She doesn't have the same personality. It is just to give the girl a name. I'm mixing a lot of other female characters to give her a real background and feel )

When do you think she is going to meet Kaï? When would you want them to meet?

Did you enjoy reading?

If it's only to say 'liked' then I welcome it with open arms!

Comments is my muse's fuel!
