Be careful what you wish for.

[Alyce Leos-Crane]

Don't wait up for me ,

I've got a restless mind

"Get your head out of the clouds Alyce" the sound of her mother voice rang out through the car. Alyce looked at her with an innocent smile, there was no doubt in either of her parents minds that Alyce was a daydreamer. She was still having a hard time readjusting to the thought of moving to a whole new place. She had friends in her old school and it was her senior year, she was still a child for another year but now she was going to have to redo everything she had built in her old life. Her mother had rented a place called the pink palace strange name no doubt but Alyce decided to give it a chance even if she didnt feel like she`d ever truly love it like she had their old home. Alyce got out of the car when they pulled up to the old house. A shiver went through her spine as she looked at the house. It was different to say the least. Alyce`s father had already arrived at the house this morning to set up so her room was already picked out. She entered the house and ran straight up the stairs to begin unpacking her things, when she opened the door she saw a box on the bed. It was a white box wrapped with a pink bow like a present, quickly she moved to the box drawn to it and when she opened it she merely blinked down at the doll that looked like her. Alyce picked up the doll and put the box under her bed smiling softly. She was a little old for a doll but she thought the gesture was sweet. 

As she walked down the stairs she could hear her parents fighting about work, it wasnt to uncommon so she began to look around almost like she was exploring her new habitat. Moving to the living room she noticed a slight difference in the wall and quickly moved to examine it. There was a door a small door that she could crawl through if it would have opened. Alyce frowned slightly and ran her fingers over it, perhaps it was a secret nook from the old house? Alyce pursed her lips feeling drawn to the door and that was when she heard a voice behind her making her jump. She turned to see her mother staring at her. "Did you hear me Alyce?" She asked. Alyce shook her head no and her mother spoke once more sighing. "You need to be careful, your father failed to mention to me about the fact that every couple of years people go missing from this house. Just promise to be safe?" Alyce nodded quietly in response unsure what to say, people had gone missing from her new home? This could only mean one thing Alyce had to explore. She made it a point to do some detective work and without her brother living with them she had no one to talk to and nothing else to do. Alyce got up and moved to go look around when she reached the kitchen she found a key with a button placed on the end of it. She held the button key in her hand and raised a brow, where on earth could this go? She examined the key and then a light bulb hit her, the key held a child like resemblance to the door. She moved quickly and pressed the key into the lock but when she pulled the door open nothing. there was a prick door in her path. She sighed softly and decided maybe just maybe it had been a play place for a child at one point in and time and as the house aged it became unsafe so they closed it off.

She went about her day and explored her new home and surroundings and when it came time for bed alyce pulled her vintage nightgown over her head and slowly climbed into her bed. She had put the doll with bright blue button eyes on the shelf across from her. As she laid in bed she smiled softly thinking about all the wonderful things that could happen. Eventually alyce feel asleep and she had begun to dream but the sound of a mouse awoke her. Alyce sat up quickly at the sound and noticed a small white mouse on her bed looking at her. She tilted her head to the side as the mouse jumped off the bed. Alyce was curious about mice so she carefully got up from her bed and moved to follow the mouse, It ran through the door and alyce moved to open it seeing the once bricked door was gone and beautiful pathway was allowing her to go to a door on the end of it. Alyce crawled through the door her hair falling around her shoulders and when she emerged from the door her eyes lite up, it was beautiful. She moved to explore the house but stopped when  a women who looked like her mother with button eyes smiled. "Hello Alyce" she beamed. Alyce looked a little confused and after a few moments the mother explained what this place was. Alyce was highly amused her mind had done quite the trick on her this time, but she played along and asked to be excused to go and examine the rest of the house. The mother agreed and Alyce headed up the stairs to her "room" where she noticed something soft and fluffy on her bed. "OH A KITTY" she squealed and moved to the bed reaching out a hand to stroke the kittys soft little head, she loved animals. In a sense animals were her passion, she had plans to be a vet when she went to school but right now all she saw was this cute little fluff ball of fur to love and cherish. "Hello kitty, what is your name?" Alyce raised a brow as she moved to sit down with the cat. She hoped the cat didnt have button eyes but hey she wouldnt complain to much,

EVERYONE WANTS TO FEEL SAFE

IN THE DARK

Mattie had more business in this Other world, anyways. There wasn’t anyone outside that he had to watch over for now, and for the most part, his daily activities resumed as normal. Eating might as well have been his profession, thankfully, through the many layers of fluffy golden fur he adorned, his layers of pudge could not be seen, and he was a rather large cat in general. Perhaps it was just his breed? Mattie treaded across the path of the Other World, careful to avoid her. It was really quite obvious she disliked Mattie’s presence, and Mattie was careful to avoid her, he typically only talked to the other inhabitants… Those who were trapped forever. Such a somber thought to come to mind, Mattie preferred not to dwell on such things. Too morbid for his liking.

Disguised as this new girl’s mother, she was distracted to not notice Mattie slip upstairs, and into the bedroom of Alyce. Hm, nice place, though Mattie knew it for what it really was. Mattie curled up on the end of the girl’s bed, resting his head into his white pays, his ears flattened to his head as he rested. A catnap really was overdue for the golden cat. If only he could curl up here and doze off into the realm of the unconscious, surely that would have not had as many repercussions as he had hoped, but Mattie wasn’t all that much of one for forethought. Rushing into things recklessly, he had gotten into far too many close encounters with the feral stray dogs of the neighborhood, who misinterpreted his swishing tail as a treat, pfft. Mattie certainly wasn’t fond of his fluffy blonde tail being gnawed on either.

Mattie perked up considerably, noticing that Alyce had entered the room, going over to him and stroking his head. Mattie purred excitedly, running his head underneath her hands. Mattie never minded people petting him, he was really much more of a social animal than anything. “Please, just Mattie will do. I like that way better than my real name anyways”, Mattie said, rising up on his paws and arching out his back, before curling his fluffy golden tail around his legs, the appendage swishing slightly. Mattie was glad that he could at least talk here, his voice was disabled anywhere else, and the benefits of communication with this girl would be helpful. Hopefully, she wouldn’t have been so confused as to how Mattie was able to speak, but surely that couldn’t have been the most extraordinary thing that Alyce had experienced during her stay in the Other World. Cats didn't talk, but Mattie was no ordinary cat, that was commonplace knowledge about Mattie, especially when he trotted around here. Back to the regular world, it was easy for the cerulean eyed and golden furred tomcat to get lost in the chaos that each passing day brought, and oftentimes he was all but forgotten. Not that that meant that he would ever fade away, no no, not ever. Mattie was merely lurking, he always had good intentions in mind, but it wasn’t any easy task to read what the tabby was thinking, especially for humans. He really could have used a cute tomcat to settle with, or perhaps he’d be kept on his feet by all that was happening now with Alyce.

Mattie blinked at Alyce with his soft blue eyes, which certainly weren’t covered with buttons, unlike most of the other inhabitants here. Truly unfortunate for the children…Gah, Mattie couldn’t dwell on such things now, they weren’t relevant to what was at hand. From the bed, Mattie crawled up onto the posts, and leaped as far as he could, striding gracefully on the dresser, his clean paws careful as to not scuff anything beneath him, mostly because that was a surefire sign of his presence. Mattie wouldn’t have wanted any harm to come to Alyce either, Mattie held no faith in the Other Mother. He knew exactly what she was capable of, and he had seen it happen many times to other children that had gotten lost in here. Mattie could only act as an advisor to Alyce, in the end he could not make decisions for her… After all, this place was sealed off for a reason. Curiosity killed the cat, and for Mattie’s sake, he could only hope that statement wasn’t to be taken literally, he preferred he kept all his so called nine lives.
