Wonderland (R: SION and Wild One)

[lemmy]

The seven o'clock rule has been going on for a hundred years. Ever since the kids changed the world into the Wonderland. Kids age five through thirteen have to go to bed really early, even during the weekands, and it was a Friday night of a beautiful Spring. School ending was just around the corner and you'd expect a kid to be staying up as late as they wanted, and doing whatever. But not for kids. They thought that going to sleep walker created better dreams for children. But it wasn't true, of course. Serena thought of it as the past. And especially here at the village, Yoshohi, they were very strict about what children did at night. That's why they had kids stay in a building. They each got their own rooms though, almost like a hospital but the rooms were much more comfortable and more modern. Maybe even boring. Outside, of the rooms, there was a small cafè that the kids went to, to get food in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Serena didn't come down like she was supposed to, she'd thought of just staying alone. Infact, she just thought about sneaking out of the building. There was a window to the left of her bed right over her nightstand. They'd probably go looking for her and if she was going to get away with it if she just locked her door, top and bottom, act like she's sleep. She got to stay quiet. Then, she'd sing in wolf tongue, calling for her wolf friend, Callie, and sneak out the window, wandering the forest with somebody. At least she didn't go alone.
The reason why they didn't want kids to wander off at night, even if they were with someone, and going to sleep so late? Because, kids five through thirteen were Dreamers. Dreamers were kids are whatever they dreamt of, would be good to come true. Kids get lost almost every month, having nightmares. All the district wants is for them all to dream a good dream and wish away all the creatures which lived outside the gates of all the kingdom. Serena almost have nightmares. Going to sleep early, or not. Serena is was 10, having to lose her parents at an early age, and hardly not able to spend time with your older brother and sistser was hard for her.
Looking around, going over to her door and locking both top and bottom, she then put her ear to it, making sure no one was nearby. Then turning off her lights, and heading towards the window, she opened oit and then sang softly in wolf tongue. It was a hard think to learn, but Callie was always patient with Serena. The three year old wolf, beautiful dark gray fur shinning in the sunlight, and hazel eyes always soft and gentle. Serena was glad that Callie never aged from three years. Soon, the wolf appeared, looking up at window. "Again, young one?" she asked Serena. Nodding, Serna jumped down from the window. "I have to go visit more of nature, Callie. For mother." Serena answered, petting the wolf's soft fur. Callie sighed. "Guards are out a lot lately, so be careful." Callie murmured. Serena nodded. "Okay." Turning, the wolf started to lead Callie through and towards the village to get to the woods.

Colton stood alone at night kicking rocks into a small pond, remembering the time a mermaid got lose into the Kingdom in the village of Yoshohi, and took his mother in. When his dad tried saving her, the mermaid took him in too. He rememebered seeing his mom and dad's blood come to the top of the forest, and how much weight he had to stop Shanti from going in there, while she yelled and screamed and cried out. He felt like he'd failed it for his sisters. And now, he had to get married, start a family while he still had to practically watch out for Serena and Shanti. They were still practically children. Sighing, he sat down and picked at grass. The Willams always used to be a happy family until this happened. They eventually killed the mermaid, though. She was dead, and the Kingdom was safe once again... unless something else lurked the shadows. The Kingdom was split into three villages. Yoshohi was the village the princess lived in. And then the other two. He thought it was kind of cool to live in Yoshohi, especially since it was the place where the Royal Family lived. He looked at the night sky, still tearing out grass.

Shanti stayed in the house, looking out at her brother. It wasn't much fun, knowing that her sister was out in that building of important kids, and Shanti felt lonely without her. Without mom. Without dad. She turned away from Colton and thought about when she was a Dreamer. She used to be all postive and peaceful, and always used to have good dreams. That's probably why he name was Shanti.

" No!" A women screamed out, slapping the guards in the face when her daughter was getting taken away. " Don't touch her!" The young mother yelled throwing a glass vase at one. The guard got angry, he back handed her into a wall. The women lied there crying, " No!" She screamed once again. Her daughter, Alma was only a few mouths old when she was taken away from her mother. They said that, the only reason she was getting taken away is because was a witch. No longer were they supposed to stay with their parents, givin to a more wealthy family in Yoshohi. A family who could raise a child without having to steal for food and clothes in the poor dicstricts. The baby was handed over to, two lovely couples of the last name; Baillie. The baby was no longer Alma, but Darianne Lee Baillie was reborn. After years of being with the new family, Darianne had found Indian Grave in a wolf trap right outside the kingdom, rocks and sticks were being thrown at the beautiful beast. Darianne stepped up and scared the kids away from him, bringing him home. Soon they became friends, when age turned 15 her parents died of a vampire attack that had sunk into the castle walls. Killing her mother and father while she was at school. Darianne grew up alone fro. That day forward, now she is 17 years old and very powerful witch. She felt determined to kill vampires from there on out. She found a mentor for her wishes, training her all the evil and good spells that a witch upholds. Once she passed all her classes, Darianne got to know the true power of a blade; the way it twirls in your hand. Someone once told her, that the blade is apart of you, your the master and your guiding it towards its destination.
At that time Darianne did not know how to handle the blade, and how to make it one of you. After a year of practice, she had mastered the twril and power of the blade within. Ancell then Darianne has been most anxious to fight, but she was nervous wince in a few weeks it will be her birthday and he will be turning 18. The will to marry, she didn't want that but knew it was the Kingdom Code of Law.
Darianne and Undaunted Grave went out to the village, guards dipped there head to her as they passed by. She did the same, the suddenly she leaped up ontology of a large building, gripping the sides of it with her hookblade. Pulling herself up she stared out into the vast Village. She glared around, scanning to find Colton. She chuckled, watching him carefully. Then picked up a rock and threw it at his back. Not hard ht hard enough to get his attention. Indian Grave sneered, leaping off the building and tackling him. He locked Coltons face and growled playfully. Darianne smiled, jumping off the side of the roof, leaning up against the brick wall. " Hey I'm sorry about your parents. They were nice and always knew how to make someone laugh." She said chuckling herself, smiling warmly as she spun her blade in the center of her palm.

( Ill introduce Liam and Steffie later. )

Colton jumped out pf his skin in surprise when he felt something hit his back and when a wolf jumped upon him, playfully. At first he thought it was Callie, Serena's young wolf friend but then when he looked to see a dirty white wolf. He gently pushed the wolf offf, seeing a girl jumping off the roof noticing it was Darianne. He looked at her when she mentioned his parents, who died about three years ago. He scowled at her and turned away. "It's okay. Knowing that my little little sister is off in that stupid building. And then Shanti is taking on the responsibility of a Perfect Being." he muttered. "I remember having to being in that stupid Dreamer building. Do you?"

[All kids get the dreamer power til 13 so... she could not use her witch powers until then.]

[°∞ßlûē•ßãbÿ•Døll∞°]

Darianne smiled and signaled for Grave to stop. He put his tail back in a submissive way, sitting next to her as she went to sit next to Colton. " Yeah. I remember, only faintly though. I pushed myself not to remember that place. Nor my parents death.." She said, looking towards the next as the sun was coming up over the castle walls of the Kingdom. Grave sighed and seen a rabbit, he stalked it then pounced, Snapping it neck, gulping the plump body down. Darianne watched as the clouds moved slwoly from one end of the valley to the otherside. Her eyes shone brightly, making them go to a neon green.

[Guest]

I'm not you average dreamer, I don't live in a large building unable to sleep at my house at night, I don't live inside the castle walls protected, I don't live with kind people...I'm abused. I have nightmares a lot and live in one day to day basics. For I'm Anna a 7 year old girl who lives in the middle of no where and is...unknown.

A diary said sprawled out on the ground, lost and close to the kingdom, in a woods. Five miles away from it a weeping girl laid, blood on her face and bruises covering her body. She was tied to a brick wall of a house, held by hand cuffs way above her head. Blood dripping from her wrists. "You ready to say sorry?" A voice said walking out and looking her in the face, "No! I hate you!" She yelled. A firm had smacked her then the woman vanished back into the house. Anna laid there in the mud waiting and hoping someone would find her, no save her.

Karen looked out her castle, sighing. She looked below her and gulped, I can do this. She told herself and stood on the window seal. Ready, set, fall. She told herself and leaped, hoping for the best. She landed perfectly fine and got up walking away unnoticed. She was running off, for in two days she was turning 18 and being married off to someone she didn't even like, he was a cruel jerk. She kept running till right into a guy she hadn't noticed. She fell down then got up looking at him, "Sorry." She offered a hand to help him up, the boy's name was Colton but she didn't know it.

Amy laid in her bed asleep while her half brother, Nick paced around in the kitchen trying hard to understand a spell. No mater how much he tried it didn't work right. Sighing he closed the book and gave up for the night. He placed the book in a hidden spot where it was safe and walked towards his room. As he passed Amy's room her
noticed her night stand was on and the book she was reading had fallen down. He turned around and walked in turning off the light and putting the book where it was safe. Once done he closed her door and went to his room and slept.

[°∞ßlûē•ßãbÿ•Døll∞°]

Darianne jerked her head up to see the Princess fall into Coltens arms. She glared at her, then suddenly she snapped out harshly. " Excuse you." She said with a slight sneer to her sword. Grave growled sharply at the new girl, pinning his ears back, but she calmed his down.

[Guest]

Every one who knew her knew Karen was easily Irritable. She turned to look at the girl and snapped angrily back, "I said sorry! What's you problem, huh?!" She said then noticed the wolf, "And a pet shouldn't be threating a member of the royal family unless it wishes to have it's head removed." She said turning to walk off, "If anyone asks if you've seen me say no." She said tossing them four golden coins to bribe them. She then took off at a run again, ecscaping the eyes of the gaurds as she left the kingdom, heading down a path.

[°∞ßlûē•ßãbÿ•Døll∞°]

Darianne quickly flashed a silver blade by her throat. " And don't you ever threaten him again. Or you shall have your head removed. I don't care how royal you are, but trust me I will kill you. Without any refers or hesitations. If you wanna go, lets go right now." She said threatening her. She was getting tired of the Princess always thinking she was harass since she was royal. Darianne lowered her blade she. She turned to leave, eyes narrowed. Grave let a growl ripple, he snapped at her heels.

[Guest]

Karen sneered and ducked down and turned, "I wasn't threatening him just telling you what my father would have done" she said before yelling "Gaurdsssssss!!!!!" She yelled, "I don't have the time to fight."She said to her as they came, Karen screamed like she was being attacked. The guards ceased her and took Karen, "Princess are you OK?" "Yea let go of me." She said heading for her castle. Once there she opened the door. Her mother and father ran to her worried and panicked.

Later-
"Why where you even out there?" The king asked, Karen tensed and searched for a answer then sighed, "I was looking for something I dropped yesterday when you guys allowed me to take a walk." "Well next time take twenty guards!" Her father yelled, "Yes father." "Go to bed" "Yes father" She said and stood walking to her room. It was rare the princess got to go outside, she never spoke to anyone but the guards and her family unless told to speak by a parent which was rare. That had been the first time she had spoke to a peasant with out a speech. She sighed locking her window and laying in her bed as guards where placed in her room to watch her. Outside the kingdom the which girl was being dragged in and taken to the dungeon and put in a cell. She'd be punished for threatening the princess.

[°∞ßlûē•ßãbÿ•Døll∞°]

Darianne grinned when the guards came to take her away. " Ah uh ah uh." She said shaking her finger. Quickly age twirled her blade in her palm. Cocking her head as the guards stopped. " I would like to send a message to the Princess. She smirked, " If she dares threaten me and my wolf again. Tell her to take it up with me instead of having guards come to save her sorry ass." The guards sneered and still tired to grab her. She snarled, Grave lunged at one and tore at his leg. Darianne leaped up over another guard and quickly did a leg swipe with her hook blade. She watched as flipped in the air and landed harshly on his face. She threw up a quick hand to stop the rest of the guards and they dropped instantly to the ground, gripping there heads screaming out. Grave aborted and Darianne grinned. Glancing around her she sighed. " What a sham." Then she met Coltens stare. She sighed and drooped her head.

[lemmy]

Colton felt someone trip over him and got up to help the girl, realizing it was Princess Karen. He smiled gently. "It's okay," he said and leaned down to pick up the gold coins. They would help in case of emergincies. He might even save up to get Serena out of that thing you call a nice and loving home for the Dreamers. "Thank you I promise not to tell." he said. Then Darianne jumped in, she sounded madder than ever. He listened to the brawl between the girls and then when Darianne threatened Princess Karen, he jumped in touching Darianne's shoulder lightly. "Don't ." but the brawl continued. When she called for her guards, they came and took Princess Karen away. When the guards came, and started to hear Darianne, he put a hand on her shoulder, trying to calm her. "Darianne. Just let them take you I'll get you out of-" he started but then she broke out in a fight with them. Blades. And everything. He looked, taking steps back, gapping. "What's going on...?" Shanti walked out of the house, looking around. "What's going on?" she asked. She gasped to see the screaming Guards. Colton met Darianne's eyes. His flared with anger. "Her sorry a** didn't have time for you. She's a princess and there was no time for your worthless sh*t Darianne. For this time, your going to be lucky if they don't throw you out to the Vampires, werewolves and zombies." he growled and turned to Shanti, who's mouth was still open eyes wide. Colton walked over to Shanti, putting an arm around her shoulder and bringing her close, as if to shun her from the eyes of a horrible creature. He looked at Darianne and shook his head before opening the door and shooing Shanti into the house.

Serena wondered the streets quietly, making no sounds. Her wolf easily slunk through the houses towards the alleyway, now it was Serena's turn. She watched the guards and the servilance cameraed streetlights and slowly slunk around the bright lights and towards the alleyway. Last light. She was almost there, she gasped, noticing she almost slipped on a rock and went back almost touching the light. She backed up and jumped over the light and sighed with relief. "This stuff makes me feel like I'm some kind of agent." Serena breathed. Callie smiled, chuckling. "It seems so." she murmured. She turned and lead her through the ally, stopping at the scent of blood. Serena heard a whimpering sound and slowly made her way towards it, seeing a girl propped against the walls, gasping with all the bruises and cuts on her. "What happened to you?" she asked, leaning down and viewing the bad marks across the little girl's face and whole body.

[°∞ßlûē•ßãbÿ•Døll∞°]

Darianne sighed and nodded towards Colten. She narrowed her eyes at the guards when they grabbed her. Darianne didn't kill them, she wouldn't almost couldn't. The only thing she killed were vampires. When she heard Cltens last words she turned her head to say she was sorry but it was too late. Grave growled when they took Darianne away, " No. Calm down boy. I'll be back." She said softly. Grave whimpered and nodded. She looked back infront of her as they shoved her harshly toward the castle. " Hey! Watch it!" She snapped.

Steffie watched as the guards took Darianne away. She seen Colten trying to stop her but that didn't work. She sighed and watched as suddenly she let them take her. Her wolf growling and whimpering, she walked over to the large white beast and stroked his coat. When he jerked away she calmed him down. Steffie shook her head and walked over to the boy. " Hey is this ah. Her wolf?" She asked. Loki g up at him. She was turning 18 tomorrow and felt the sudden weight of merriage being brought on her.

[Guest]

Anna's eyes flickered open to hear and see the girl. She stood and jerked away, pressing her back agents the cold stone wall. Her eyes widen to see the wolf and she froze, not even breathing. It was like some one casted a time freeze spell, but only Anna was froze. Adventuly she started to breath but didn't move, just starred into the beast's eyes, completely scard.

[lemmy]

Serena saw the girl's eyes flicker open and throw herself against the wall, shaking a whimpering. Serena looked to see she was looking at Callie, who looked at her with gentle eyes. "There's no need to be scared of Callie. She is well... trained." she said quietly. She cocked her head. "Aren't you supposed to be in the building where they keep Dreamers?" she asked quietly.

[Guest]

"N-no, mother says I belong here hidden from all deep in the woods. C-callie l-looks like the best, f-from my nightmare, but much s-smaller." She stuttered moving her blue eyes to look at the girl. "W-who are you? I-I'm Anna." She asked.

[lemmy]

Serena watched the little girl. Talked about the beast from the nightmare, about her mother saying she should be hidden. "I'm Serena, Anna. Were gonna get you out of here." she whispered quietly and helped her up. "I'm surprised the guards never caught you out here. They would have carried you to a safe place. It's a place where I live. It's.... nice." she murmured and met yer eyes. "Anna. You belong somewhere that's at least safe enough to have dreams. Not in a nasty old and dark ally."

[Guest]

Anna looked up at her then at her hands, "I don't have the keys, mother dose." She said looking to the house knowing where they where kept. "Mother is a witch, a very powerful one" She warned her.

[°∞ßlûē•ßãbÿ•Døll∞°]

Hey I g2g... Ill be back in like an hour or two. Going to Six Flags.

[lemmy]

Serena cocked her head. "Keys for what?" she asked. "Follow me." she said and looked around before leading her towards the building for Dreamers. "These people know how to take care of you." she whispered.

[Guest]

"The cuffs." Anna said rattling the chains. She watched and listened Serena.

[Guest]

(Bump)

[lemmy]

Serena nodded slowly. "Ahh..." she whispered. "Callie.... can you see if you can break the chains of the cuffs?" she asked. Callie nodded and gave a small but gentle snarl and grabbed onto the girls chains, pulling hard with her teeth.

[Guest]

"Ahh that's got to hurt the teeth." Anna said grimcencing. The chains then busted and made her fall forward, straight into mud. She got up weakly, "I haven't walked into a few days." She said stumbling around, struggling to get her balance.
