Chapter 1: Prologue

Summary:

Run..run..as far as you can go. But will you escape? Nobody knows.

Chapter Text

Daylight beam through the trees and down to the earth, leaves from trees sway side to side to follow the breeze of the air. The silent ambiance of the forest is louder than the birds chirping around. Until the silence was broken by heavy and quick footsteps.

The grass underneath the running man keeps crunching as he ran on them, sometimes making a squishy noise whenever he steps on wet areas. The man continues to run, breathing heavily and nonstop. Who is this man exactly?

The young man has pale skin, and his hair is wavy and light blue with pointed blue cat ears on the top of his head. His eyes are vivid aquamarine cat eyes, his pupils are vertically slitted. This young man's attire can very much say not proper for this event for his attire is a full-fashioned blue millitary uniform with plenty of gold badges with a detailed blue-white cape, and wearing a pair of white pants.

But why is he running?

Once in a while as he runs away from something he would turn to see if the creature he's running from is chasing him. Is this even a creature? Or is he running from his past...

"Cheshire." Someone called. "Cheshire." There it is again. "Cheshire!" And that finally awoke him. "..ah, you're late to get up today." The young man named Cheshire turned up to the lady in front of him.

The lady has warm-to-tan skin, along with short, almost wavy, blond hair along with her signature white streaks. Her eyes are black and is wearing red lipstick.

"I am so sorry miss True if I ever bother you.." The lady who seems to have the name True Proof laughed and held him by the shoulder. "My boy! What? No no! You are not a bother at all! In fact you help me around here." She ended with a chuckle. "Now come. We have visitors." She winked as she left his room. The cat turned out to the window and gave a heavy sigh.

"Another dream."

He got up from his bed, tidying up the bed and working his way to fetch his casual attire. After a few minutes he turned to his standing mirror at the side of his room to check his attire. He gave a smile, running towards the table near his bed to take the hair tie and out the room he goes.

As he was running out of his room he saw a man coming his way. A man with short and colored white with a streak of red hair, eyes and earrings with the same color, and is wearing a white tuxedo vest with a red tie with a long-sleeved shirt underneath and trousers. And a monocle that sits on his left eye and a wristwatch is tied to his left wrist. Ah it's the Requiem.

"Morning Bi'an!" He didn't stop running, but instead being the magical cat he is, he poofed out of his way just to poof back on the other side. "Morning Cheshire." Bi'an responded with a chuckle afterwards as he continued to walk towards his destination.

He reached the stairs, but instead of running down, he sat on the handrail and slid down. True can be seen at the door talking to the visitors, this made Cheshire poof away from the handrail early and poof back out beside True. "Ah! Cheshire you're here! Come! I believe they aren't visitors. They're here to stay, they said they needed someplace to sleep in." True said with a smile.

"Greetings," Cheshire started. "I am Cheshire Cat, pleasure to meet you." The cat bowed. The man in front of him seems a bit like him. Although he has long curly, and blue hair. Presumably, it is just as long in the back and covered by the rest of the hood. His eyes are a golden yellow which matches the design in his gauntlets and jacket.

Cheshire then turned to the man's outfit, his outfit consists of a long iridescent blue jacket with both a hood and a built in collar. The hemming of the jacket is a golden leaf pattern which extends to wrap around his face.

The jacket itself if covered in a shining leaf pattern that is visible from certain angles. Underneath the jacket he wears a pale blue button up shirt with bright blue frills peeking out from the top. His pants are a plain grey, with his boots matching the jacket's colors. On his right shoulder, there is a glowing flower with many leaves sticking out of the top of it.

Perched on his hood, and occasionally flying around his figure, there is a small blue butterfly. Must be his companion, Cheshire thought. "Clarity." That snapped the cat back to reality. "Pardon?" The cat asked. "Clarity is my name." Cheshire nodded in reply with a smile and then turned to the female beside him.

Her hair is tied to a ponytail and is a deep pink color. She wears dark lipstick and her button eyes are edged with gold. Her eyebrows are now dark magenta, still her face seems to be upturned in a worried expression, but it quickly changed to a bright smile when she noticed Cheshire is staring at her.

As Cheshire finished scanning her face, he scans her attire. She wears a dark buttoned up jacket with a piece of fabric at the back like a partial skirt. She wears grey pants and black boots. Inside the jacket there are also red sleeves, and a bright purplish pink flower is attached to the left side of her chest. A pink choker is around her neck while a black leather hat with gold decorations sits on her head.

"Nostalgia." She said. "You're quite similar to Clarity." She chuckled as he turned to Clarity and back to Cheshire. "My! You both do look alike!" She clapped her hands as she held on Clarity's shoulders, shaking him in the process. "Dude! You have a twin?! Why didn't you told me!?" Clarity took her hands off him gently. "Gia, I do not know what you are talking about. I clearly don't have a twin." He turned to Cheshire and back to Nostalgia. "I believe you're just seeing things."

True just laughed softly at the two's conversation. "Now why don't I show you around? This manor is very big you see." She turned as she starts walking.

"Ma'am, if I may ask, where exactly are we?" That made True stop on her tracks. "Why.." she gave a smile and turned to them.

"The Oletus Manor, of course."

End.
