kh_drabblechallenge: [195] chance meeting
title: wandering star
wordcount: 369
notes: alice and ansem, in a different wonderland. this took wayy too long to finish lol
There was no where to be and it turned Alice's head so, or perhaps only her heart. But she moved resolutely through the not-place, because, while sitting would be pleasant, when she got up again she might stand upside down or inside-out and somehow, more nowhere then before.
She moved for a very long time but didn't find a single place. She was becoming quite worried, and she was wondering what might happen if she started to cry without her eyes, when she saw a stain on the dark.
It shone like oil and was vaguely human-shaped. Was it someone else's lost heart? No...no. Alice had a Wonderland thought, Everything is opposite from what you expect here. But of course, not-here.
She asked without her voice, "Please, is there a way I might go back to somewhere?"
"There could be," It's words sounded sweet to her, which was odd, as this surely was not a sweet place. "If you will sit with me."
She said she could not and the stain was displeased - she could tell. So she explained she was afraid to be more lost.
"Why would you be?" Gentle laughter bubbled in it's words. "I can take you to a place, my dear. But you must stay with me for the door to open..."
She crept nearer to it, not to stay, just to see what was this - but when she brushed against it, it shrieked as though it was on fire. It's screams felt much more right to Alice. They were scary and cruel and...empty. The stain writhed, pulled away, and it was cursing.
There had been a door, though. She had seen that. But it wasn't a door she could take because she had understood what it was in the encounter.
The stain was just a dark spot that couldn't touch her heart - but someone else's? Her friends - the Cheshire Cat or Sora and his friends? She thought of the science-book words, black hole, and she did not like them, just like she didn't like the thought of standing up and being lost.
But it was gone now, drained away, everything was solid black, and she had a completely everyday thought, Do keep going, and forget about the doors into madness.
