My Monster Family (Eyeless Jack x Reader)

Part Four - Tomorrow

(Next update in about two weeks because it is the most major one and it will be very long. If everything goes well, it should be the end chapter however I may have to split in into two or three different parts because of its colossal size. Also, sorry I'm so late. Enjoy!)

Your point of view

"Are we...nearly...there,..yet?" I panted.

"Now now, Alice, be patient." Cheshire laughed as he merrily skipped in front of us in his cat form. White Rabbit was next to me, her arm around my shoulder to encourage me, her thumb rubbing reassuring circles on my blue and white dress. Yes, they had dressed me as Alice for our next visit to another king. They told me I had to pretend to be Alice for as long as I stayed here until I was finally sent back home. Great.

"The Castle of Spades isn't too far off now. You can't complain (Y/N), we took the train for the most part." White Rabbit remarked.

"The train! You call that a train, do you!? That was half an hour of madness with strange creatures staring at us with creepy smiles whilst the insane vehicle we were in raced at the speed of light. And that is in no way or shape part of my definition of a train!" I exclaimed, shivers running down my spine from the mere though of what had happened previously. And I though the mansion was crazy. The other two giggled at me and continued walking as my paranoia levels slowly decreased.

"Come on Angel, calm down. Look around you, there's plenty of beautiful things to admire in this dimension too. We know you don't want to be in this world and you have better things to do back at home but still, you're here so you might as well make the most of it, right?" Cheshire suggested, slightly turning his head to look at me.

"Yes, you're right about one thing, I definitely have better and more important things to do back at home. I have to save my dad and my best friend, Ame. I don't have time to waste in this world!" I exclaimed.

Cheshire sighed, "Be careful who you risk your life for, (Y/N), the person you take a bullet for is usually the one pulling the trigger." He looked at me seriously, his warning settling deep within me and sending a shiver down my spine. "Now observe the beauty of this world before you leave to go back to yours."Taking his advice, I took a deep breath and relaxed my shoulders, taking a look at my surroundings.

We were indeed in quite a beautiful field, following a nonexistent dirt trail over the hills, sprinkled with golden wild flowers. Far way to the left lied an emerald forest that stretched on for miles, sitting on the horizon. Then on the right, the golden hills turned to green ones, high grass swaying like waves in the sea as the gentle breeze whispered sweet words to it. Far away in the distance, a big black and white Castle stood behind a hill, the details too far away to see yet it remained undoubtedly well constructed.

Our destination; The Castle of Spades.

Imposing and majestic and somehow something told me the owner of it wouldn't annoy me as much as the previous monarch we encountered. Although I knew our visit would be short, it was clear that it was to be purposeful and that alone filled me somewhat with dread. What if I mess up?

Granted, we're trying to spark a war between kingdoms which should be quite straight forward but still, it does take tact to do so. However we do have the perfect plan and perfect way to annoy the king as much as possible to get him to declare war on the kingdoms of Hearts and Clubs. If we can just get the King of Spades fired up and somehow get the King of Diamonds involved too then the war will start and I'll be able to get back home.

Reason enough to be fired up, right? But still, all this walking is killing my feet, they almost feel like they could fall off! At each step I take, a cell in my soles dies with an agonizing cry that resonates through all the other cells by throwing an icy chill through them. And the castle is so far away!
