the wonders of lands.

𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘪𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘦𝘯: see you again

I sat in the back of the chariot, my eyes slowly opening as I looked at my surroundings. My eyes closed again, every image changing as if I took long ass blinks or something. Then, I see the night sky, the pale white moon hiding itself into the clouds as we come up to Alice's palace, the sound of only the wind blowing its warm summer air and the crickets chirping as we got to the gate, it instantly opening. Then, I feel myself being taken out of the chariot, so I tried to hold onto something, anything. Yet I didn't have the strength for it at the time, my eyes closing slowly before I hear someone snickering.

I end in what looks like a cell made out of stone, no windows at all, only what feels like a hard rock bed as I'm put on it, the cell door that camouflaged the whole room disappearing as a man leaves right out, making me go crazy as fuck. I was happy that I'd gotten out of this coma, but I missed my friends. Where the fuck was Jasper, making me laugh all the fucking time? Where the hell was Ari, a friend who obviously had my back after we were on good terms?

Where the fuck was T?

Tyler.

My heart raced at the thought of where the hell he was. Was he dead or taken back to the palace?

No, Clem, I thought to myself. You would've seen him.

The questions flooded my mind, if he were alive, if he was still with Ari, but all that stopped once I heard a noise, as if something was coming in here.

Something, it was.

As I looked at the walls, a green smoke started to come into the room, slowly but surely coming for my face. I was scared at its sight as it had gotten closer, trying to get up from the bed.

But I couldn't. Something was locked tight onto my hands as for me not to do a single fucking action by myself. So, I watched as the green haze came to me, instantly going into my nose, making my nose burn and as well make me scream in pain.

My eyes closed slowly, me hearing a ringing sound as I shut them, thinking about Earth, and how much I fucking missed it, wondering where AJ and my mom were.

AJ's POV

I woke up from the knock from the door, getting up to open the door to Vernon, the same white cop who has been looking for my sister.

It's been about a month or two since I've been back in South Carolina. All I do is stay in the house or get some groceries for me and mom, worrying constantly about where the fuck my sister was at. As he got inside, he sat a our dining room table, his eyes filled with guilt and tiredness. "You want some tea?" my mom asks Vernon, coming down from her room. He only nods before looking up at me with guilt. "Why are you here, Vernon?" I ask smartly, looking his way. He doesn't say anything at first before I ask him again why the hell he's here, my mom putting me in my place after. "To talk about your sister."

That's when mom looks at him, as well as I.

"What about her?" I ask, looking into his eyes. He doesn't say anything. "What about her?" I say again, growing angrier and angrier by the second. "What the fuck about her--"

"The case." he answers finally, me still looking at him. We then lock eyes. "Its been a while and we still haven't found her. Therefore the case has been closed."

My fists ball up, getting angrier by the second. And then, I threw the mug filled up with piping hot tea that mom had made, going straight for the cop. I flip the table, making him get up, me then pushing him down to the floor, punching him again and again, mom trying to get him off of me, yet I'm stronger. I swing at him as she tries to get me off of him. My mom pulls me off of him after I swing for his gut, me then standing up, being held by the arm. I puff out air as the cop starts to speak, mom looking at me mostly as for me to not try and kill this man. But I don't hear him. I block his voice out before getting out of my mom's grip, running outside as it rained heavily.
