Arthur in Wonderland

Chapter 2 - Meeting Mischievous

When Arthur walked out he wasn't sure what to expect but I'm pretty sure he didn't expect a dark mysterious forest. There was only 1 path heading east. That was the only way to go so he had no idea but to see where the path leads. The path, unfortunately, lead to cross roads with a tree in front where the roads crossed.

"Left or right?" A voice purred from the bare branch on the tree.

"Who are you?" Arthur asked.

"I'm just me, kesesese." The voice said "Why do you ask? Am I not me and are you not you?"

"I ask for your name." Arthur said slightly annoyed.

"Names are silly things aren't they?" The owner of the voice dropped down from his perch in the tree " Since you want to know I am Gilbert and Gil by some."

"You look someone I know... you even have the same name!" Arthur exclaimed.

"Do I?" Gilbert said "What's your name?"

"My name is Arthur."

"Well I don't know you but I do have a question for you."

"What is it?"

"Have you seen a person? He's tiny and I mean really tiny, no one notices him..." Gilbert rambled on while Arthur got a good look at him he was Albino that's for sure, he also had a German accent, and he was a neko... 'Strange' Arthur thought. He's clothing was gray pants with a shirt that had long purple sleeves, black back and the front was black and purple. His ears and tail were purple and black. "and he has blond hair, violet eyes and-" Arthur cut him off asking "Is he missing? If so how long has he been missing?"

"Yeah he's been missing for 3 months..."

"Wow... Anyway haven't seen him sorry."

"It's ok... I just miss him."

"You really love him don't you? What's his name?"

"His name is Matthew, and yeah I really do love him..."

"Well I better be off now."

"But which way shall you go left or right?"

"I think I will go right."

"Hey Arthur good luck, there are a lot of bad people here... they won't think twice about hurting you."

"Thanks for the advice."

"Oh and, be careful with the people you meet, they're not always as they seem."

"Thank you, I shall be off now."Arthur said then turned away and walked down the path on the right.

"That poor guy, he's not from here..." Gilbert said silently to himself and walked down the path on the left which lead to the place where he and friends meet up at. "I just hope mien Birdie is okay..."

Arthur got to a Victorian looking house. To him it looked like it could be Roderich's house and he was right. He didn't really feel like going up and knocking so he put the book in his mailbox. He walked away still on the path and he ran into 2 people. One of them had blonde hair and the other had brown hair and strange curl.

"Hallo. Who are you?" The blonde spoke first with a German accent. So the blonde is also German...

"Ve~ maybe it's an alien!!" The brown haired Italian one chirped.

"Not a bloody alien!!!!" Arthur scolded and after that the Italian started crying.

"Feli, it's okay." The German comforted the small Italian.

"I'm sorry I'm just having a bad day and to answer your question I'm Arthur"

"I'm Ludwig and this Feliciano."

"Nice to meet you and all, but I seem to be lost."

"Well, you can come with us we're going to meet up with some of our friends."

"Thank you that would be really nice."

"You're welcome, now come on we must be going." Ludwig said as he walked off down the path with Feliciano holding on to his arm so with no intentions of being lost in these woods forever, he followed them.

They got to clearing and the only one there was the neko Gilbert from before and he looked sad and distant as he held to a white cup with maple leaves on it. Arthur wondered if there will be more people coming or if it was just them. Of course there are more people coming... good people and unfortunately bad people.
