Scarlet Vision | Twisted Wonderland

The next morning arrived quickly, and [Name] was awakened by a loud banging noise that sounded like someone was kicking their door. It was so loud that it made their head throb. They opened their eyes, and a scowl appeared on their face as the knocking continued, even louder than Ace from the previous night. They let out a groan and rubbed their forehead, feeling annoyed and frustrated.

As they rose from their bed, [Name]'s head shook side to side, feeling a bit disoriented from being abruptly awoken. They slowly turn to Grim bed and shook him gently. "Grim, wake up," they said softly, trying not to wake him up too abruptly. "I think someone is trying to break down the door. I am about to kill someone."

Grim let out a yawn as [Name] got up from the bed. The room was chilly, and the warmth from the blanket made them reluctant to leave it. But the knocking on the door was getting louder and more persistent, and [Name] knew they had to get up. They groggily rubbed their eyes as they stumbled to the edge of the bed and stretched their arms.

Once there, they pushed the blanket off of Grim and onto the bed. Grim shivered a little as the warmth left him, but he didn't complain. [Name] then pushed themselves up from the bed, their feet touching the cold floor. They looked around for their slippers, and once they spotted them, they shuffled towards them.

As they slipped their feet into the slippers, they felt a rush of warmth, and a sense of relief came over them. They stood up and looked at Grim, who was still lying in bed. "Come on, Grim. We can't leave whoever is knocking waiting." They said as they walked over to the door.

"Who is that?!"

As the banging on the door grew louder and louder, [Name] couldn't help but cackle. It was clear that whoever was knocking was either incredibly strong or incredibly stupid. It was only a matter of time before someone got hurt. With their sleepy feline companion trailing behind, [Name] made their way to the door, stifling a yawn as they went.

They reached the stairs and held onto the railing, making their way down to the lounge. The sound of hurried footsteps echoed through the house as Ace made his way to the front hallway on the second floor to confront the Perfect of Ramshackle. [Name] listened quietly, wondering what was going on.

[Name] nodded in greeting to the boy when he met their eyes. The trio then made their way to the front door, with [Name] tugging on the handle and opening it to reveal Deuce, decked out in his school uniform.

"I knew I would find you here."

"Good job. Do you want a gold star?" Ace sarcastically said as he twirls around and trudges his way to the kitchen.

"Good morning, Deuce," [Name] greeted the blue-haired boy as they turned around and headed to the kitchen. They could feel the sleepy feline brushing against their legs as they walked. "Close the door after you, okay?" They added before disappearing into the kitchen.

Ace sat down heavily on the chair in front of the island counter, looking at Deuce with a curious expression. "Anyway, how mad is he?" he asked, fidgeting with his fingers.

[Name] stifled another yawn and rubbed their eyes, feeling the exhaustion weighing heavily on them. They snapped their fingers and a delicious breakfast materialized on the counter, consisting of eggs, bacon, and pancakes. Steam rose from the plates, tempting the trio with its mouth-watering aroma. Next to each plate was a cup of freshly squeezed orange juice.

As Grim yawned and rubbed his eyes, [Name] scooped him up and placed him gently at the end of the counter, in front of a plate of pancakes. They walked around the counter and took a seat on the stool next to Ace, who had already taken a seat at the other end of the counter. Deuce also took a seat, eyeing the delicious spread in front of him with a smile.
