Splintered- Alyssa & Morpheus

Chapter 4

IF YOU WILL BE OFFENDED BY AN EXPLANATION OF RAPE CULTURE IN THE SPLINTERED TRILOGY SKIP THE NEXT PARAGRAPH

I've completely forgotten about all of this. I'm sorry. But I just reread the trilogy yesterday, and I'm just not still where I was a year ago. I can't stand the rape culture and Morpheus constantly ignoring Alyssa's boundaries, and I just read over my story again and I have it too. I'm so horrified at my writing from two years ago - "you know that you want me, Alyssa" - and this is why I say now that there is a problem with our media. I thought that this was beautiful, romantic. It disgusts me now, and I know the original series was littered with things like it, from Morpheus constantly pushing himself on her and turning to make out with her right when Jeb walks in (whom I don't like any more now, but I understand isn't worse than Morpheus) or when Taelor (is that how you spell her name) comes, constantly lying and trying to manipulate her, making her have sex with him (the 24 hours after she defeats the red queen) in return for her boyfriend's peace of mind, and trying to make Jenara think they were together - "if you had come a moment earlier you would have found me with my hands up Alyssa's skirt" or something - and much more. I'm not trying to insult any fans of the series, and please don't hate me. If you have a counter argument, or can explain why I'm wrong, feel free to leave it in the comments, but don't let it get too ugly. I might agree- I don't let myself close my mind off to the other side of the argument.

With all of this in consideration, I've decided it's fair to give you all the beginning of chapter four, as I had wrote it a year ago and don't want it to go to waste. If anyone wants to continue the story feel free to use my plot or to just say that you are writing a continuation of what I've written. And I know that it's only like 3 hundred words, but I wrote a bit and promptly forgot about it again. I chose to leave in my blabbering, as I don't think it's true to my past self to take it out and pretend it never existed (although I'm tempted)

So with no further ado, a ridiculously short excuse of a final chapter with no sort of conclusion whatsoever.

SORRY! I've sort of forgotten about this fandom completely for a couple of months, then I saw the book on my shelf and reread the trilogy and I'VE FALLEN IN LOVE AGAIN. So I'm back!

Also, I'd like to say: Teen Fandom ClubGet your geek on with fellow geeks! (*whispers* fangirls and fanboys gotta stick together) Every month at Teen Fandom Club

It was ten in the morning. The sun was shining brightly. The birds were singing. Someone was walking their dog on the sidewalk outside my window. A perfect day. But it was so... normal. Mundane. I sighed and reached for my cell. 3 missed calls. One from Jenara, and two from Jeb. I called Jenara back.

"Hi Jen."

"Lyssa! Where were you?"

"Slept in."

"You have  to come to Persephone's. She got all these amazing new things in- I found some that would be perfect for you." I looked over at my wardrobe, most of the clothes from Wonderland. Nothing would compare to anything made by... Morpheus.

"Sounds great."

"So are you free today?"

"Yeah."

"Great. Meet me at Persephone's at 3."

"Sure."

"Jeb misses you. What are you doing all day?"

"Trying to sleep." Trying to see wonderland again, if only in my dreams. Needing Morpheus.

"Well, call him. He's worried."

"I will."

"Bye."

"Bye, Jen."

I put my phone back on the table and groaned. I didn't want to see Jeb again, but of course he was the reason I left Wonderland. So I should definitely go see him. I put on fishnet stockings with a miniskirt and a wonderland butterfly- patterned top and began walking to the door, while texting Jeb. He was overly excited to hear from me

and it was pathetic.

 and it was so sweet. We planned to meet at the park near our houses.
