Chapter Text
“Ahhh—oof-m-“
I was hitting the sides of the rabbit hole, and getting covered with dirt.
What am I doing? What am I doing what am I doing-?! Ahhh!
I felt around for the white rabbit. He disappeared?!
“Where?!”
The hole above had closed up, leaving the place dark.
Ah.
I’ve seen this before.
Am I really falling hundreds of feet down a rabbit hole? Like the one in my dream?
Dream?
I’m dreaming.
It’s a hallucination! It’s a dream, just like the others! Close your eyes and force yourself to wake up, Sigma!
I’m forced to open my eyes when I suddenly plunge downwards as if I fell off a cliff. When I opened my eyes I saw…furniture? I think? It’s too dark!
“What the heell-? Hugh-“ My body smacked a table.
I held my stomach, just free falling.
Not sure why it took me to long to realize I was genuinely free falling, but I’m fucking falling. Is the fall endless? Am I going to die?
Oh, not the thoughts about death, this isn’t the time, keepittogetheriswear-
I suddenly slow down. Like a train stopping on its tracks from 50 miles per hour to 5 in less than a minute.
After moments, I open my eyes once more, to find…exactly, furniture. Exotic furniture.
A lantern flicked on, and the dark faded into light.
I float past a mirror and speaking of exotic, damn, what’s going on with my appearance? What happened to my dress and hair?
My brunette hair turned…half white and half…purple? And my layers were…bad. My floral dress had been traded in for a light blue dress and creme (white?) apron. My headband stayed the same though.
(Sorry I didn’t mention the change in appearance in the first chapter).
The mirror shattered, but it was silent.
I spotted a variety of books on a table…yet all the words were gone. How am I supposed to know what kind of book it is without words?
I picked up the book, and all I saw was sheep running and hopping a fence. Ah, a children’s book. When I flipped more pages, it showed a sheep tripping, falling, and snapping its neck.
It died, obviously.
Death.
I slammed the book closed and threw it away, knocking over a bottle. It still floated in the air though. I picked up the bottle and read the little note on the lid.
“Drink me.”
Uh, no thanks.
“I’m late! We need to get a move on! Quickly”
Oh, the rabbit! He’s back! “Mr. Rabbit!” I called.
I plunged the rest of the way down the hole, eventually landing on what seems like a dome with Victorian paintings across it.
Why is the rabbit on the ceiling?
“Well, I’m going to leave with or without you. Catch up to me later. It’s not that much time left until you run out of time.” The rabbit hopped away in some door.
“Wait! Please! Is this real?!” I called, but I didn’t get an answer. Why doesn’t anyone answer?
Is my hair gone? I felt the top of my head after not feeling my hair on my shoulders, it wasn’t gone, it was standing straight up. I blink. Am I the one that’s upside down?
As soon as I finished that thought, I once again tumbled to the floor. “Agh!” Now I have a headache.
The room I was in is kinda shaped like a circus tent with a dome for a ceiling. In the middle of the room there was a table. The walls were covered with Victorian paintings. One thing that was off, I was surrounded by doors.
Why does the weirdest shit always happen to me?
After a few minutes trying each door, I finally found one that opens, but it was just another door. I open the door again, another door.
And another.
And another.
With a red door waiting for me at the end. The design looked as if it was a futon. Optical illusion?
And are those glasses?
“And- wow this is really small.” I mumbled before trying the open the door, “I can’t even touch the little doorknob-“
“Ow! Breach of privacy!” A voice?!?!?
I gasped, “You’re talking!” I stood back, “You’re a talking doorknob!”
“No, really? Wouldn’t have known.” The doorknob spoke. “And, call me by my name, Sigma.”
“How do you know my name?” Once again, someone she’s never met before knew who she was. All the more to say that this is a dream.
“…I’m Katai. Remember me?”
“…” I shook my head.
The doorknob went silent.
“H-hello?”
“No way you can’t remember how mad you were?”
Blink. “I have no idea what you’re talking about. Say, have you seen the white rabbit?”
“You mean Kunikida? Gosh, is this your first time being In wonderland or something?!”
“What? I’m where?” Wonderland?”
“Ah let me shut up. Yes, Kunikida-I-I mean the white rabbit is beyond this door.”
I peeked at the door. How was he able to fit in through the door? Maybe a hamster could fit through that, not me.
“Got you thinking…how did the white rabbit get beyond the door! You have to drink the potion.”
“Why do I have to drink the potion?”
“Just drink it!” Katai groaned and the room sighed with him. “Make my life as a door easier!”
I picked up the potion and examined it. A blue color with green sparkles. It looks like something a child mixed together, usually poisonous. “Hey are you sure this is safe to drink?”
“Ughh!” Katai groaned and closed his eyes, appearing asleep.
Ok. Good talk. I opened the lid, and wafted the bottle. Smells like cotton candy…I sipped it. Tastes like…if vanilla birthday cake was a flavor.
When I looked up, I’ve noticed that the table seemed larger, so as the doors. “What the hell?” I looked up.
Did everything get bigger, or did I just get smaller?
‘Oh, I’m small enough now! I can actually get through the door!’ I thought when I walked up to Katai.
I twisted the knob.
“Ow!” Katai exclaimed, “I’m locked!”
“Locked?” I kissed my teeth, “Are you kidding me? Make an exception.”
“A key. Get the key. On the table.”
When I looked back at the table, the key appeared?! It wasn’t there before!
“Hey, that’s cheating-“ I ran back to the table. Damn this key!
“Not my fault you didn’t grab it,” Katai yelled, watching Sigma attempt to climb up the table,“I’m literally giving you instructions.”
“How do I grow up again?”
“Look in the box.” Katai closed his eyes again.
I looked around for a box. Sure enough, there was a box. When I opened it, it was filled with a buncha little cakes. “Eat me.” Obviously, this is to make me grow up again, so I shoved the whole cake in my mouth.
Real bad idea. I grew up, but I grew up. I was a bit too big. I ended up getting the key though. “Bottle, wheres the bottle?” I strained as I searched the floor. I can’t find it!
“You lost the bottle?!” The knob shook with frustration. “What didn’t Kunikida understand? This is the wrong Sigma!” He accidentally said out loud.
“Wrong Sigma?” I peeked down at him, “What’s that supposed to mean?!”
“It means that-“ Katai was cut off by a loud groan in the room.
Only then did we both realize how loud it was. The sound of rain was deafening, but we couldn’t ignore the groan in the walls.
“What’s that?” I asked…sounded like a-
“Flood!” Katai yelled, “Flood! Flood!”
The buliding was a time bomb that had exploded. The ceiling caved in, and water started to fill the room.
Katai gurgled as the water force forced him open for her.
Now the room was filling with water at an impeccable speed.
When I found the bottle, it was too late to cry and get cover. Looking back at it, I think that it was stupid that I chugged that little bottle.
I shrink and conveniently fell into the bottle.
Katai groaned in pain. Loud. Deafening.
I didn’t even need the stupid key! Katai opened on the sheer impact of the water!
The water flowed out the door as if Katai was vomiting.
“Help!” I screamed. “Katai! Are you okay?” I called, but I didn’t get a response. The water flowed like the sea, and just like that, I was out of the door. With new lively but dark surroundings. “Help me!”
Many different creatures and beings flowed past me. “What in the world?!” I screamed as I saw a mixture of a peacock and a squirrel float past me elegantly. To be completely honest, I think I’m just hallucinating.
A wave of water washed over the bottle, “Help me!” My calls were drowned out by the water. Great. Now I’m wet.
☆༺𐮙𐮙༻☆
Eventually, the water subsides. When I step out of the bottle, I’m wet. And the mud is everywhere.
Great.
Now what?
Where do I go? Explore?
I could just explore….I am dreaming, right? It’s fine, you’ll be fine.
So I hiked up my dirty skirts and started trudging onto the first path I could find.
As I trudge and shiver through these woods, wondering why I havent woken up from dreaming yet, I hear these annoying voices from annoying people who are not to secretly following me. Get off my case with this ‘She’s not the real Sigma’ bull shit.
“This is why I should be the one doing the hunting! You clearly don’t remember how she looked like!” One voice angrily whispered.
The voices are literally following behind me.
“I didn’t have my glasses, you little dimwit! Stop breaking my shit!” Another responded.
“Shush! There’s children around!”
“Profanity!”
Two voices responded. Twins?
I finally decided to turn around and address them, but they were discreetly hiding behind trees, now silent.
“Hello?” I called. “You know I can see you.”
“No you can’t.” The boy twin said.
“Shut up!” The sister pushed him. She gasped and flinched behind the tree when she saw me looking.
“Okay, I’m going to need some answers….now.” I demanded.
No one moved.
“…please…?” I pleaded instead.
