Now, if you've ever played with a kaleidoscope, you know with all the colors and such, you can kind of see it as a kid's version of LSD. That was what I was experiencing. Now keeping up with the theme of things in, ahem, Wonderland, I was dreaming inside of a dream. Now as logic came into play this sort of created a small time paradox; okay in a nutshell I was lost. After thinking about this for about, 1 minute tops, I was surrounded by a cluster of stars. My self control was long forgotten with my curiosity at play, as my trembling hand reached out the small shining orbs. I immediately felt my usually cold fingers become toasty, and a slight pressure as if the warmth spilled through the gaps of my fingers and onto the back of my hand. My body began to fill with warmth, it felt…tranquil. I heard a soft chuckle from behind me and I let go of the star and whipped my head towards the sound.

The source was from a man with silver hair (I guess he's old). He had gray, carefree eyes that made him seem aloof, and I immediately disliked him, he seemed like the type of guy who didn't work hard and gave no respect to anyone. Over his right eye was an eye patch that was black and gold, and he was dressed in a nice enough suit with ruffled cuffs. Emerging from what I assumed as his tail bone was a black devils tail that swished from side to side with glee. I narrowed my eyes at him; the warmth silently hummed in my body so I felt somewhat confident.

"Very cute, now I understand why Peter wanted to bring you here," he said, with a small grin. I remained quiet, in my dreams if I didn't feel a dark presence I would talk. This guy gave off no feel of a threat, but from watching crime shows I had come to this conclusion, it's always the person you least expect. And besides this was Wonderland, everything was made to screw you over. I had to either decide whether or not to talk to this freak.

"Do not fear me, Audrey, I will not harm you," he said," My name is Nightmare, I am an incubus."

"So you molest women in their dreams?" I asked. What? Incubi were commonly known to rape women in their dreams, same story for succubi except with men. He gave an incredulous look and was flushed before he calmed down.

"No, but-"He calmly started before I cut him off.

"So, does that make you Freddy Krueger?" I asked." Do you kill people in their sleep? Cause if you are, I liked you better in the movies." I looked him up and down, yeah; Robert Englund won points in the style category.

"All right we don't have a lot of time-"Nightmare began again to cut off once more.

"Wouldn't that make you a pedophile also? Because I'm 14 and you are obviously older than me-"I started saying.

"All right SHUT UP!" He snapped at me," Look, you're playing a game. You are in this game until the vial fills up again with blue liquid."

"Okay, but the drink Peter gave me tasted like shit, if I must say. And you said something about him bringin' me here, who the hell would like me?" I asked, with a small smile.

"Oh, well, I merely opened the hole, he did the rest of the work," I felt my jaw drop. This guy helped him? I was going to throw him a pit of lava!

"Oh you can't do that, I control this world, soon you'll wake up; it was nice to chat with you, go back to the nightmare," he said, a smile on his face but his eyes were cold and calculating. I felt myself sink into the background as he gave me a small smirk with a wave.

Jackass! I thought.

I had blinked before finding myself in a tank, the ones where they hold the clones in, the ones in science fiction shows. My arms flailed, and I tried to scream. Soon I was falling into a dark, sinister hole. Angel stood at the top with tears soaking his fur, I reached out to him, but soon I felt the skin on my back start to burn. I howled. I turned my head to find a flame incased hand with demons and ghouls screeching at me. I screeched this time; the darkness incased my being as the hand snatched me in my decent. I opened my eyes and screamed. With Dee and Dum shaking both my shoulders, they screamed too. Okay, waking up screaming wasn't on my to-do list. I looked past both of the twins and saw the two little girls again, one had a wicked smile but the other looked guilty. I blinked a couple times before they disappeared and soon the twins bombarded me with questions.

"Nee-chan, are you all right?" Dee asked, with a sincerely concerned expression.

"Yeah, you sounded like your limbs were torn off!" Dum said, sounding somewhat concerned and somewhat excited at the promise of dismembered limbs.

"Yeah…" I said trailing off as I put on a troubled expression. My nightmares weren't like this, most of the time they were short and quick. But this…was much more sinister. Well, another person hates me in the world

"I'm fine though, honest," I said with a small smile, before my stomach roared like a t-rex." But, I'm not entirely sure about my tummy."

They gave each other disbelieving looks before smiling and leading me from the warm bed and out the door. Every step I took, I flew about 3 feet (my wound hurt every step), and soon we were outside at a table. It had teapots scattered at nearly every end of the table, with large plates of food, and I smelled an amazing smell. It was bacon. Oh dear, sweet, delectable, mouthwatering bacon! I zoomed to the chair nearest to the bacon, and sat down, panting, with my tongue out like a dog's.

"Morning," I heard a familiar voice call. I growled at shifted my gaze away from my meat. Blood stood there, suit and all, with a smug grin on his face. Ass.

"Why aren't you dressed?" Elliot asked, walking behind Blood, fully clothed as well.

"Sorry," I said," I ain't gonna get all shnazzed up so I can eat my breakfast." I mean that would be ridiculous. Elliot was making his way over to me when the twins eagerly took the two chairs next to me.

"Sorry Newbie Hare," Dee began.

"But, you were too slow!" Dum finished. Elliot started grinding his teeth before he went on the opposite side to sit.

"Now boys," I said," I'm open to share." Blood, who was sipping his tea, spit it out with his eyes wide open. Elliot blushed, and the twins joined me in a hearty laugh.

"But we don't want to share you Onee-chan," Dum started.

"We want you all to ourselves!" Dee finished, both of them were smirking. I leaned my head back and cackled madly, before well, shoving my face into my bacon. I had an assembly line thing going, one hand one bring my mouth bacon while the other dug for more. Though, both Blood and Elliot looked as if they were going to hurl. The twins' mouths had formed o's, probably shocked at my disgusting eating habits.

"So," Blood began," How long are you going to stay with us?"

"Um, I'm not entirely sure, but I guess until I can leave or until someone else offers up the space," I said." Come on! Wipe the frowns off your faces and smile more. You're face might freeze that way if you let it sit."

I felt terrible, but the truth is never welcoming. I simply sat, not even bothering to eat my bacon; damn guilt trips!

"I'm gonna get Jake, maybe he can show me where a bathroom is," I said, standing up. But before I left, something hit me. "Hey, have any of you see Angel?"

"I think I saw him heading for the rose gar-"Elliot began, before his ears dropped and Blood set down the tea cup in his hands.

"I reckon I'ma have to go get him aren't I?" I said, a little frightened, as Blood sat quietly in his chair no movement whatsoever.

"Yeah," Elliot said calmly, before I legged it like roadrunner to the rose garden, wherever that was. But knowing Blood, it had to be huge to sustain his seemingly giant ego. I ran my ass off, well metaphorically of course, though the thought of my ass bouncing up and down on the side walk is nonetheless morbid yet somewhat hilarious.

I need help.

I stopped when I first saw the rose garden; I won't go into explicit detail but for entertainment purposes I shall say this: It was fucking huge. But as I tried to enter, destroying some rose along the way, bullets showered at my feet, thankfully not hitting them. And as I shifted my gaze upwards I found myself gaping at Blood Dupre, with a scowl on his face, and a submachine gun resting on his hip.

"Okay, I think we're both in the wrong here, I won't go in your rose garden and you need to stop overreacting." I said putting my hands in surrender position. His gun transformed into a cane and I let out a relieved sigh. Then he grabbed me from the front of my gown.

"Don't go into my rose garden," He hissed at me. I merely glared back at him, causing a staring contest between us, but I heard a large ripping sound. And we both blinked before looking down, to find the back my gown flailing forward with an awkward breeze and the cloth going farther and farther from my skin.

"You lousy, no good, rotten, low life PERVERT!" I screeched, before I kicked him in the nuts; did I mention I'm a second degree brown belt? Blood simply whimpered and dropped to the ground, holding himself in pain. And believe me, my face was beet red as I readjusted my gown. Elliot and the Tweedles (sounds like a band name) rushed over, but the deed was done and Blood was still down.

"Elliot, could you find Angel for me?" I asked, stepping over the fallen man," And could you guys help me find clothes?" The three just nodded as we went our separate ways, ignoring Blood.

After my epic nut shot, I found myself in a disastrous situation. All they could find me was Lolita clothes….you know, with all the frills and crap? I think I felt my soul start to deteriorate.

"You're serious?" I asked wanting to rip the lacey monstrosity off my body. I was grateful mind you, that they didn't murder me on the spot, which was weird assuming he was their boss. In real life I would have been thrown out, or possibly shot on sight. I cringed at the thought of being shot, but regained my composure and tried to bare the yucky feeling that came with this Lolita nightmare.

"Sorry this is all we could find," Dum said, without any remorse whatsoever.

"B-but," I stammered," there's got to be something; it has no pockets! Or shorts!" I exclaimed, not once in my life, except for my toddler years and weddings have I ever worn dresses voluntarily.

"Well, Onee-chan, you're gonna have to sit tight in that until you find something else," Dum replied. I don't like wearing dresses. Period. They make me feel vulnerable. I wanted to argue but I knew the situation wouldn't be helped, so I'd have to stay in this dress until I could find something else. Fuck.

"Well, thank you for finding me this at least. It'll have to do, but I hope Angel's O.K." I said.

"Well I'm alive aren't I?" A familiar voice called. I felt tears build up and whipped my head towards the familiar sound. There was my gray tabby all bundled up within Elliot's arms. I squealed like a fan girl meeting Edward Elric, and ran over to the rabbit man. I scooped the cat into my arms and planted a smooch right between his ears.

"You arse! I was worried, and I had to kick Blood in the balls! There are Blood's ball germs all over my foot!" I exclaimed at him. But then I remembered Elliot. I stood up on my tippy toes and kissed him. Bold move I know, but honestly I was only tall enough just to be able to kiss him on his chin. I hate being short.

"Thank you for finding him," I said, with a small smile. Again screwing with Elliot was so much fun! I wanted to burst out laughing! His face was as red as a baboon's butt!

"Hey! How come newbie hare gets a kiss and we don't?" The twins asked in unison.

"Simple, he found my baby and you got me a dress, which I could easily be prayed on by perverts for wearing," I answered. Just then Blood walked passed, growling death threats under his breath.

Speaking of perverts, I thought to myself. But, for shits and giggles I planted a kiss on each of their cheeks.

"So, today's mission is to get to the Castle of Hearts to kick Peter White's scrawny ass!" I proclaimed; it was about time this man, rabbit….furry (yeah let's go with furry) learned his lesson!

"Why?" The three males questioned.

"Because, he chose the mistake of screwing with me, and I am going to show him what for!" I hissed. Elliot and they twins had their mouths open agape.

"What?" I asked.

"You had intimate relations with him?" Elliot sounded horrified. I felt the bile creep up my throat when he said that.

"Wow, um, O.K. I didn't think your mind would there thatfast but, not I have not and don't plan to," I said with a scowl on my face; bad mental image right there. "Let us flee into the distance!"

I picked up Angel and ran down the hall, well Elliot caught me by the collar and turned me towards the way we needed to go and after being grabbed by the collar about 5 more times, I let him lead the way. Elliot stayed quiet for most of our journey through the mansion, mostly because the twins were chatting away barely letting him speak, and even when I tried to talk to him the twins would up skirt me. Which I solved by a quick spin-around back fist to the head; don't worry I didn't hit them that hard…I think.

"There's the front door," Elliot told us, before I sped past him to kiss the ground outside.

"Sweet freedom!" I cried, before hugging the grass.

"Onee-chan?" Dum called. "Your skirt."

I sat up so fast I nearly gave myself whiplash. Embarrassed I was. Yeah, I know Yoda fail.

"Okay not a good way to start our journey," I said to myself. I raised myself to find all three of them blushing, before Angel trotted towards me.

"Perverts," He said comically casual, which had me cackling madly.

"To the Castle of Hearts we go!" I proclaimed, thrusting1 a fist into the air. We continued to walk through the forest, cautious of what would lie ahead.

1 That one made me burst out laughing right there. XD

I am so very, very sorry for the late update, and I know that it's much shorter than a usual chapter! But, I was tired of looking at it taking up space on my laptop! So, yes I promise it'll be much better chapter 4! Scouts Honor… even though I wasn't in Scout's…'cause I'm a girl…

Anyway, peace out suckers!
