"Hello..." the cat boy purrs, circling me with his tail wrapping around my arm.
"You were a cat," I state. "Am I in a differerent dimension or something?"
He continues circling me, his tail remaining wrapped around my arm. "No, you are simply in Wonderland. An odd name for a land as twisted as it is," he answers. "My name is the Cheshire Cat. And what is yours?"
I remain calm. "Alice. Could you escort me back to where I came from?" I ask.
The Cheshire Cat stops circling and stands in front of me, his tail now wrapping around my wrist.
"Are you inquiring about the place above Rabbit's rabbit hole? I can take you there, but only for a price," the Cheshire Cat answers.
"Yes, that's it. But I don't have any money or anything valuable," I reply, looking down at myself. Odd, my dress is different now. It's dark blue with a steam punk design.
He laughs, revealing a mouth full of fangs. "No, no. What I require is your attendance at the tea party. You will get to formally meet the others." The others? Well alright.
"Okay, I'll go to the tea party," I agree.
"Wooooonderful," the Cheshire Cat purrs. "Follow me, if you please." This doesn't sound like a bad idea at all.
-.-
That damn cat tricked me.
He told me to wait right here and he said he would be right back. He turned invisible and went somewhere, leaving me standing in front of some weird gate made of skulls. Skulls with horns, huge eye sockets, etc. I stare at the gate for a moment and then go back to observing everything else.
