A Break from Sweets, {Pandora Hearts/Break Fanfiction}

Chapter 2: Interrogation Tea Party

Aurora's P.O.V.

    After they took me into the mansion, they cut the ties on my hands off. I wonder what year I'm in... They are obviously not that high-tech. I really didn't like the feel of this place. It was dark and cold, and I'm guessing doesn't know what hair dye is. We all sat down in what I'm guessing is the living room, and everybody just stared at me. Break was sitting on the arm of the couch that Sharon and Alice were sitting on. Oz was sitting with his legs on the arm of a magnificent looking, red arm chair with Gilbert standing next to him. Might as well ask Break what year it is. He seems the most friendly here, but he's definitely off a bit.

   "Hey... Break? Um... What year is this?" I asked as I looked up at him. He seemed a bit surprised that I didn't know but I guess anybody would if they were asked that question.

   "Well... It's 1854... When did you come from?" He asked me. He still seemed a bit shocked, but not as shocked as before. I probably looked more shocked than anybody by the looks of it. Everybody leaned forward and stared at me.

   "Uh... I... Well... Let's just say that this makes me about negative 160 years old," Ok, now everybody is staring at me.

   "Well... I guess that time in Abyss is weird... So it does make sense," Break leaned back a bit and rested his left arm on the side of the sofa. He looked up at the cieling and was silent for a little bit, along with everyone else, "Well, Aurora... Come with me for a bit. I would like to have a tea party." A tea party? Really? Isn't this guy like 20? Well, I guess it's not the weirdest thing that's happened to me lately. Sharon flashed him a look and then turned back to me.

   "I'm going to come, too. Just to make sure that Break won't have any sweets like he promised," Sharon smiled, stood up, and began to walk down the hall. Break came up to me and offered me his hand.

   "Coming?" Break smiled and I took his hand. He helped me up and followed Sharon down the hall.

Break's P.O.V.

   The three of us walked down the hall and I went through another china cabinet to get to the room with the balcony we use for tea party interrogations. I set up the table and sat down right when Aurora and Sharon walked outside.

   "Hello, Aurora! Please have a seat! Sharon, could you wait inside?" I folded my hands on the table, crossed my right leg over the other and smiled.

   "Waitwaitwaitwaitwait! How did you get out here so fast?!" Aurora yelled at me before she did anything. She looked so confused.

   "I don't use doors. That's how. I just walk into one cabinet and come out somewhere else. Now please, sit down," I responded and started to pour some tea, "Sugar? Milk?"

   "WAIT WHAT?! CAN YOU TEACH ME HOW TO DO THAT?" Aurora clapped her hands together and smiled, "Oh and two cubes of sugar and a little bit of milk." She sat down and took a couple of cookies off the platter outside.

   "Well... I guess I'll just watch from inside," Sharon said as she turned around and walked inside. She seemed a annoyed, even though this is how we always interrogate people. Why was it different now? Aurora took a few more cookies and ate them all extremely quickly.

   "I assume you like sweets?" I asked as I sipped on some of my tea. I wasn't allowed to put sugar in it so it tasted pretty bad, but I could live with it. I put the tea cup down and tried to sneak a sugar cube, but Sharon banged on the door and told me that I couldn't have sugar or else I would loose the bet. Fine, but this tea is so bad! 

   "Yes! I love sweets. It's, like, my only weakness," Aurora laughed and took another cookie. She leaned back in her chair and put her legs up on the chair. She was wearing lavender pants and a white blouse for some reason, which is definitely not allowed anywhere. Females always have to wear dresses. She was also wearing black sandals with short heels. Even though she wasn't wearing a dress, she was absolutely beautiful.

   "It's the same with me, but I made a bet with Sharon just before you came that I could go a week without them. It's only been an hour or so, but I'm already regretting it! Anyways, I would like to ask you what you remember about Abyss," I leaned forward a bit and drank some more tea. I couldn't stand the taste! And there were cakes and cookies right in front of me! I can't stand this!

   "Well... I didn't really see much. The scenery stayed the same most of the time. And lot's of weird Chains were saying that I looked tasty," Aurora said as she put her legs up on the arm of the chair and leaned back. She looked up at the sky and looked deep in thought.

   "Well... Can you tell me about you're chain? I would also like to see it," Aurora seemed so interesting. She was so pretty, but still funny and nice.

   "Uh... I don't think that he would like to come out right now, but I can see," She grabbed her hair and started playing with it, then she grabbed another cookie with her other hand and ate it in two bites. Then she got up and squatted on the ground, "Rascal, come out. He won't do anything to us. I promise," She put her arms out and then hugged them to herself, but not touching herself. She sat down and began to pet nothing, "Rascal, it's okay. You trust me, right?" I don't understand this. She treats her chain as a pet instead of a weapon.

   "Rascal... I promise I won't hurt you. I just want to see what you look like," I said as I smiled. Suddenly, a black and white cat appeared in her arms. It had bright green eyes and looked at me.

   "Hello," Rascal said as it jumped onto the table. It was a pretty fat cat with long whiskers and an average length tail. It looked surprisingly like a cat and not a demon or monster at all. It walked over to the cakes and started eating one, "This isn't chocolate, right? I can't eat chocolate," the cat said between bites. It looked at me and cocked its head to the side.

   "The one that you're eating isn't, but the brown ones are," I replied. I am very curious about this Chain. It doesn't seem like a normal chain. Cheshire is a cat Chain, but this Chain is nothing like Cheshire!

   "You're probably wondering why Rascal doesn't seem like a normal Chain, right? Well... I don't really trust you enough to tell you why he's like this," Aurora said. Her legs and arms were both crossed and she was sitting sideways, staring at Rascal. She had purple eyes like Alice and her eyes got all shiny and glossy and I could tell there were a few tears building up in them.

   "I am, but I won't pry if you don't want to tell me. I'll find out eventually, though. I always do," I leaned back in my chair a bit and looked directly into Aurora's eyes, "So... When you were in Abyss, did you meet a girl that looked like Alice with white hair? Or maybe a small white rabbit stuffed animal?"

   "I'm sorry, but no," Aurora said as she leaned back and looked directly into my eye. We were in the exact same position and it almost felt like a competition. Her eyes had so much emotion, it seemed like she was staring into my soul, "Quick question, why do you only have one eye?" How did she know?! I have my hair over the hole, I know it!

   "What do you mean?" I asked. I tilted my head to the left a bit and stared at her.

   "It's pretty obvious. You would be more focused if you had both and you wouldn't put your hair in front of it," She was smart, I guess, but this annoyed me. I didn't want to tell her why, "Well, I won't pry if you don't want to tell me. But I'll find out eventually, though. I always do." And with that, she stood up, picked up Rascal, and began to walk inside where Sharon was.

   "Wait! I wasn't done!" Rascal said as he tried to get out of her grip.

   "Well I was," Aurora said as she held Rascal tighter to her chest. She walked inside and began to talk to Sharon. Man, I hope I didn't piss her off too much.
