17 year-old Brooke wakes up one morning feeling different. She feels sad and depressed unlike her usual peppy self. She walks outside and finds the birds not chirping and the sky greying by the second. A mysterious man comes out of her house and tells her that if she does not collect each of the 10 crystals hidden around the whole neighborhood within 5 hours the children will start taking their lives one by one. For each one dead she gets one more hour. For each crystal she gets an extra 30 minutes. When she finds the first one within 10 minutes she is flabbergasted, but how long will it take to find the rest, will her deepening depression take over before she can find the crystals?

The Painting
"It took me five seconds to fall. The impact on my chest jarring my body but not my mind. I suppose this is the point where your life is supposed to flash before your eyes as time itself freezes - and it did in a way. But I didn't relive my life physically like walking through an old memory, déjà vu in each step. It was a feeling, something that started in my chest and spread to my fingertips, one so unique to me that it encapsulated each significant event into one single second." For as long as May can remember one mystery has haunted her world. A dirty window before her, the grim obstructing her vision, she has lived with a loss she can't identify - that is until one rainy night. Gradually the spots of dirt May scratched at for so long wipe away with the touch of a finger. But when she looks in will she like what she sees - or will curiosity kill the cat?Complete

(Making her naive to the cruelty of the world.) She always wanted to see the world outside of the castle. Though everyone saw her as a weak helpless princess that needs to be protected, and hidden from the cruel world she desperately wants to see with her blue eyes. A witch shows up one late after noon and offers her magic mirror, that can show her the outside world from just looking into it. She only needs to imagine the place she wants to see and will be there. The princess though was being a jerk so the witch cursed the mirror. Making it so that the princess ever looked into it, she will become a fearsome dragon. "The princess will no longer be a princess and she will see the world she desperately wants to see. Her soft skin will turn scaled. Her silk like hair will disappear and be replaced with sharp horns. She will be the monster outside as that she is inside." Whispered the witch.Complete![Twisted Wonderland x reader / Fall into Wonderland [HIATUS]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/389596280-256-k101471.jpg)
