Chapter Text

((Y/N)'s POV) Age: 7

Last week was my grandpa's funeral and I didn't know how to feel about it. He wasn't around a lot because he lived so far away and when he was around, he made us read a lot. I wasn't a big fan of reading, but some books were a little good and not meant for babies. I just like to play video games and outside more to do things like swim or ride my bike with my friends. Now, that he was gone, my mom got his house, the money he had, and we were all moving out there. Me, Mom, Dad, and my 3-year-old brother. My parents would read to my brother from the books Grandpa gave us, bought me, or bought him. They even made us read at least 10 pages a day because Grandpa always says...

(Y/N)'s mind-Imagination is an adventure.

We made it to the house and the movers beat us here since we took a while to say goodbye from our old home, and stopped for food too. I helped bring some stuff out of the car that was mine first, like my Nintendo Switch that died on the way over here. I had to read a book called Percy Jackson And The Lightning Theif. It was a little hard and different from the movie. Better than reading a baby book in front of people. The first thing I did was put the stuff in what was going to be my room and put my Switch on the charger so that when I was done unpacking other small things, I could play with it. When I got back outside, my dad gave me a box that had the word "Books" on it. I knew it had to be the baby books for my brother.

(D/N)-Here, take these to the library. It's the smaller building by the garden area.

I walked with the box to the library and it looked like it was as big as if you cut the house into 3 pieces. Still big though, but when I got to the door, it was locked. I put the box down and opened it to see the baby books and some had shows on T.V., like A Max and Ruby book, Chowder, Winnie The Pooh, and some others. I went back to my dad and found him in the house telling the men where to put our things.

(Y/N)-Dad, the library is locked. I can't get in.

(D/N)-Oh, I think I have the key... Actually, just take them and find out which key it is. Daddy is busy and Mommy is taking care of (B/N) upstairs.

(Y/N)-Can I play a game after?

(D/N)-Did you get your pages in for the day?

(Y/N)-I read 15 from a big book on the way here.

(D/N)-Awesome, you got your games back when you get those books in the library.

I went back to the library and tried key after key to get the stupid door unlocked, but there were so many keys on the ring. Almost everything here had a key lock on it. Except for the gate to get into the front yard... Never mind, I see a door by it.

(Y/N)'s mind-Who's gonna come all the way out here anyway?!

I finally got the key right and opened the library. It looked a little dark, so I turned on the lights, but only a few came on. I opened up some curtains in here to see how many books were in here and there were enough to fill all 4 shelves on a wall and a small row near the middle of this place. There was one part of the library upstairs that was bared up with another gate, but it opened with the same key to get in here. I just wanted to see what you would lock up in a library and there was a small table, a comfy chair, and a wooden pedal stool with a glass cover on it that had...

(Y/N)-A pen?... Metal bars with a lock, and a pedal stool for a pen?... Wait, is that a pen?

I saw a small thing of ink next to it, but I just left this cell or whatever to get the books from outside in here and left to go play video games.

(Timeskip To Tonight)

(No POV)

Late at night while the family was asleep, the new books in the library began to glow a soft light for a few moments with sparkles coming off of them to dance around the library. The glow went away and the library returned to darkness. The glass ben upstairs twinkled a bit too.

(Timeskip To Morning)

((Y/N)'s POV)

I was online playing with my friends after breakfast and we were playing Mario Party, but after this game, my parents wanted me to play outside or something. I kept on getting robbed of my coins because Carlos and Ben made a team and did not steal from each other.

(Y/N)-You two are so annoying like this!

Carlos-You were doing good at first.

Ben-We leveled the playing field.

I hated this and by the time the game was over, my Dad came in and told me to get some shoes on to go outside, but...

(Y/N)-What can I do outside with no friends around here?

(D/N)-We got a pool and you like swimming. There are 'tons' of books in the library you can read. The classic fairytales are much cooler than the kid versions... You can't read those just yet, but there is a good number in there. You are bound to find something... Tell you what, if you play outside until dinner, I'll throw in ice cream Sundaes tonight for dessert.

(Y/N)-Deal!

He left and there was no way I was gonna be bored all day just for some ice cream, so I had an idea. I slipped my Switch into the back of my pants a little and put a charger in my pocket. I walked right past my parents and went outside to the library and pulled my stuff out when I got inside.

(No POV)

(M/N)-You think he knows there are no outlets in the library?

(D/N)-He'll figure it out. Some ice cream later will turn that frown upside down.

((Y/N)'s POV)

(Y/N)'s mind-WHERE ARE THE PLUGS?!?!?!

This place has electricity in it, so where are the plugs?! My Switch soon died before I could play again and now I had nothing to do! I put it down on a table and thought about what my dad said, so I tried to find the storybooks in here that he said were better. The sunlight helped me with the lamps too. I looked on the small aisle and noticed a sign that said: "Do not read". There were even loose chains to keep them from falling.

(Y/N)-Little Red Riding Hood,... Alice In Wonderland,... Snow White,... Snow Queen,... Wizard of Oz, Goldilocks, and the 3 Bears... Why would you put this on a warning sign?... Maybe it was for Halloween or something.

With nothing else to do, I just played catch a tiger by its toe to choose and I got... Little Red Riding Hood.

(Y/N)-What's so bad about a fairytale story anyway. I already know what happens... The book just looks bigger.

Little Red Riding Hood takes goodies to her grandma's house and runs into the Big Bad Wolf, he gets ahead of her to beat her to the house, eats the grandma, tried to eat her, and then the woodsman comes in to save the day. Everyone knows that. I took the book with me to a comfy chair in here next to an empty fireplace with wood and stuff next to it, but it was too hot to start a fire and... I'm not allowed to make a fire by myself.

(Y/N)-Imagination is an adventure huh? What's so special about old and dusty books in a boring library?

I opened the book and started to read, but before I can even finish the first sentence, the book started to glow and sparkle a little. The library started to shake and I panicked before I threw the book down and watched it glow brighter.

(Y/N)-Huh?! MOM!!! DAD!!!

I tried to run out of here, but the windows were shining in a very bright light for a moment, so I covered my eyes until it stopped. My eyes stung a little, but I could still see and the ground was not shaking anymore.

(Y/N)-What just happened?... Mom, Dad!

I ran outside, but I didn't see the house anymore... I was in the woods and heard birds chirping when a deer ran by a trail. My head was starting to spin while I was trying to guess what happened. A book glowed, the library shook, the windows flashed or something, and now... I'm here... I went back into the library and opened the book again, but this time, nothing happened. I put it on the table and went back outside to look for help and ask where I am. When I walked down the path I tried to call out for someone until I got scared of what or who else might come... I still called out, but not at much until I saw an old-looking house. I walked up to it to see if anyone was home and it looked small and there was even a well next to it. Before I could make it to the door, I saw it open, so I hid behind a tree to see a girl come out while talking to her mother. I couldn't hear them, but I think I know who that is and if it is 'her' then I know what they are talking about.

(Y/N)-I'm dreaming... Yes, this all has to be a dream.

I pinched myself, but it did hurt a little, and since that test failed... I tried it again somewhere else. I kept on doing it again and again until...

???-Hello?

(Y/N)-Ahh!

I jumped and looked up to see Little Red Riding Hood... The real Little Red Riding Hood.

Little Red Riding Hood-Oh, my apologies. I did not mean to scare you... I do believe I never saw you around here before. Did you just move here?

(Y/N)-Ummm... Yes. I'm lost... Do you know where I am?

Little Red Riding Hood-Why, you are in the woods of course?

(Y/N)-N-No. Where in the woods? What's t called?

Little Red Riding Hood-I... I am not too sure, but I am sure we are somewhere in Europe.

(Y/N)-Europe?!

Little Red Riding Hood-Is that bad?

(Y/N)-Ummm... I-I have to get home.

Little Red Riding Hood-I thought you said you were lost and Mother says these woods are dangerous if you do not stay on the path... Come, my granny needs this cake and wine to feel better, and after Mother can help.

(Y/N)'s mind-Cake and wine?... I thought it was just cookies, but there's an adult drink in here?... What else is different?

She took me with her down the path and in the book it says it's a long walk and we meet... Oh no. I tried to tell her that we have to hurry, but she said if we go too fast by running then the cake might get squished or the wine will bounce out. I don't know what to say to make her believe me. I know I am in a fairytale or something, but I can't just let someone possibly die! Dream, coma, or whatever!

(Y/N)-Listen, we need to run!

???-And why do you need to do that? *echo*

(Y/N)'s mind-Ohhh no.

We saw the Big Bad Wolf come out of the bushes and Little Red Riding Hood didn't look scared at all, but she wasn't scared in the other stories... EVEN WHEN HE WAS TALLER THAN US!!!

He slowly walked up to us and had a smile on his face, but I know this part of the story and know that he is lair... I was just never scared before.

Big Bad Wolf-Well hello there Little Red Riding Hood. Who's your friend?

Little Red Riding Hood-Hello, Mr. Wolf. This is (Y/N) and he is very lost, so I am helping him after I bring this cake and wine to my grandmother.

Big Bad Wolf-How nice of you... Where does your grandmother live again?

Little Red Riding Hood-A good quarter of a league farther on in the wood. Her house stands under the three large oak trees, the nut trees are just below. You surely must know it

Big Bad Wolf-Little Red Riding Hood, how pretty the flowers are about here. Why do you not look around? I believe, too, that you do not hear how sweetly the little birds are singing. You walk gravely along as if you were going to school, while everything else out here in the wood is merry.

She looked around and smiled a little before she looked back at the Big Bad Wolf. He did sound so convincing, but I knew this was the part where he goes ahead of her to eat the grandma and get her.

Little Red Riding Hood-Perhaps some flowers would help cheer her up. Thank you kindly, Mr. Wolf.

Now,... he looked at me when she went off the trail a little to pick some flowers.

Big Bad Wolf-I am terribly sorry that you are lost and far from home, but I am sure if you were to come with me, I could swiftly take you out of the forest.

(Y/N)-... Thanks, but I'll stay with Red.

Big Bad Wolf-Red?... Is that a nickname for Little Red Riding Hood?... Well then, I suppose I can't force you, but do stick together. It is rather dangerous out here.

He took off and my heart sank. I'm not letting Red go to her grandma's house because if this story is darker than a kid's book, I don't know if she dies too... I'm not sticking around to find out. Red came back to me with flowers and hummed a little song until I grabbed her.

Red-Look (Y/N). Do you think my grandmother will like the flowers I picked for her?

(Y/N)-Red, listen to me! You can not trust the Big Bad Wolf! We have to go!

Red-Red?... Also, do you mean Mr. Wolf? But, he's very nice and caring.

(Y/N)-He is a liar!

Red-I... see that you are scared, but I do not like you telling me lies about my friends!

(Y/N)-Well... I can prove it! Come on!

I took her with me and she started to talk about needing to get to her grandmother, but her grandmother is probably already eaten. We made it back to the library and I brought her inside and closed the doors before I grabbed her book from the table. I opened it for her to look inside and she looked confused.

Red-I do apologize, but I can not read very well.

(Timeskip 10 Minutes)

I read some of the story for her as best as I could and when I stopped, she looked like she didn't believe me... Why would she? Anyone can write or say anything and call it true... The wolf is just so tricky.

Red-Please, wait here and I shall return with my mother to help you.

(Y/N)-Red!

Red-My name is Little Red Riding Hood, to you. Good day.

She left the library and I tossed the book onto the table. I was starting to think if this is just a coma from that earthquake and if I should just stay in here to wait to wake up.

(Y/N)-This is stupid!

(Red's POV)

I wasted so much time already, but at least the cake and wine did not get damaged. I kept on going to my grandmother's house. On my way there, I took a shortcut off the trail and when I saw the trail again, I saw Mr. Wolf and... he was walking from the direction of my grandmother's house wearing her clothes.

Mr. Wolf-Oh Little Red Riding Hood!... Where are you?! *echo*

I thought he was just being silly, but then I saw something dripping off of his mouth when I got close enough. It was hard because his fur was black, but I saw the trail he left was red.

Red's mind-Red?... Is... that-?

Mr. Wolf-Come little one! I came to help you to your grandmother! She is so 'terribly' ill! *echo*

I remembered what (Y/N) read to me and when I did, I dropped the basket and the cake and wine spilled out onto the ground.

Red's mind-... Granny?... Mr. Wolf?... Big Bad Wolf.

I noticed that he stopped in his tracks and shook the clothes he had on him off. I quickly started to run and the place filled with books was closer, so I headed for (Y/N) first. After a while of running... I could hear him.

Big Bad Wolf-Please dear! It is only more wine your granny had!... There is no need to be afraid! *echo*

Tears started to come out of my eyes when I felt so scared. (Y/N) was right! MR. WOLF IS A BIG BAD WOLF!!!

Big Bad Wolf-RED?!?!?!... LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD?!?!?! *echo*

((Y/N)'s POV)

If this is a dream then I tried to dream up some power for my Nintendo Switch at the very least, but nothing was working. Pinching myself still hurt, so I explored the library some more and was about to go back upstairs to the room with the desk and weird glass dip pen until I heard screaming. My body jolted a little and when I heard the screaming again...

(Y/N)-It's just the story... A fairytale... What am I doing?

I ran to the doors and opened them to see Red running down the trail. She was crying and looked very scared.

Red-(Y/N)!!! YOU WERE RIGHT!!! PLEASE, HELP ME!!!

Big Bad Wolf-OOHHHHH RREEEED!!!

I looked behind her and she turned while still running to me, and we saw the Big Bad Wolf at the top of the small hill before he ran down to come after us.

My heart started to race as he quickly gained on her, but she was so close. I closed one of the doors and locked it, and got the other door ready by locking it, but held it open for her.

(Y/N)-HURRY UP!!!

She kept on running and Big Bad Wolf is getting closer, but when she got inside I slammed the door shut just before he made it. He ran into and clawed at the door while Red and I both fell to the ground.

Big Bad Wolf-OPEN THIS DOOR!!! LET ME IN!!!

The doors were moving and I don't know if they would hold against him. Red was crying still and hugged me tightly while we looked at the door. I never thought a story from a fairytale could be so scary...

(Y/N)'s mind-Fairytale?... THAT'S IT!!!

(Y/N)-I GOT AN IDEA!!!

I got Red to let go of me and ran to the small aisle of books and pulled a random book out from behind a loose chain and opened it.

Red-H-How is a *hic* book going to-?!

The ground started shaking again and the lights came back on just to flicker. Red ran to me and held onto me while she kept on screaming and pulled me under a table with her. The light from the windows flashed in here and when the light calmed down, the flickering stopped, and the ground wasn't shaking anymore...

Red-*Sniffle* Wh-What did you do?

(Y/N)-I... still don't know.

Nothing was banging on the door now, and the yelling completely stopped. I peeked out the windows to see... a bird, but something about it looked weird and Red came out from the table.

Red-Is... he gone?

(Y/N)-I think so... Are you ok Little Red Riding Hood?

Red-... Red... Please, call me Red. Also, yes. I am not hurt.

I went to the door and opened both of them to see the outside with Red and she looked surprised, amazed, and still scared.

Red-M-Mr. (Y/N)... Where are we?

I looked at the book I opened and the title said...

(Y/N)-Alice in Wonderland.

Chapter Text

((Y/N)'s POV)

Red wanted to go out and explore this place, but I told her that it was a bad idea and Wonderland was a very weird place with some things being just as bad as the Big Bad Wolf. I tried to read about a few things because she said we would need help to beat the Big Bad Wolf or even food and water to survive. She's right, but I have no idea how this story will be different and it will take me a while to read a book this long... We were both getting hungry now. She said we can stay close to the library in case something happened and try to find food, so I said we have to see the library the whole time. I left the book here and told her what I know from the movie and the small books I read.

(Y/N)-Ok, there's Mad Hatter, Dorm Mouse, The Hare, Queen of Hearts, Alice, The Chesire Cat, Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum, and... who else am I forgetting?

???-... Late... -very, very late! *off in the distance*Red-What was that?

(Y/N)-Oh... Mr. Rabbit.

We didn't see him and we weren't going to follow him to the Queen of Hearts anyway because she was just mean and evil. I told Red if you make her mad, she will have your head. We tried to look for food, but all the lunch we had so far was plums yelling at u, strawberries singing with some flowers, and cookies that said, "Eat Me". I stopped her because I know cookies and mushrooms here can make you grow and shrink a lot here.

Red-Is there anything safe to eat here?

(Y/N)-I told you this place was weird. We should just go to a place with better food.

???-Um, excuse me. Hello?

We both turned and we saw Alice come out from some bushes and she looked about normal size right now.

I had no idea what to do now because we just came out here for food and come to think of it... How far did we go to find food? I don't see the library anymore, but I know how to get back to it.

Red-Greetings. May we ask for your name?

Alice-Oh, my name is Alice.

Red-My name is Little Red Riding Hood, and this is my new friend (Y/N). He calls me "Red" after he helped save my life.

(Y/N)-Hi.

Alice-How brave of you. Perhaps you can help me. I am looking for a way home. I followed a white rabbit and now that I have lost my way, I just want to return home.

I have no idea how to tell her that this is either a dream from the books I read, plus a movie, or if this was real and we came here in a magic library... That actually isn't too far off from this place. Suddenly, we heard chuckling. I looked up to a tree and I knew who it was before I even saw them slowly appear. He looked like the old and newer movie versions of him put together... He looked a little creepy.

Cat-So you wish to go home and you lost your way? If your way leads you to new friends then you can always try the Queen's way.

Just then he did something to make a door into the door appear and open up for Alice to look inside. Red and I looked in too and saw a castle, but I know who it belongs to.

(Y/N)-DON'T GO IN THERE!!!

Alice-What? Why not?

(Y/N)-THE QUEEN WILL HAVE YOUR HEAD IF SHE GETS MAD!!!

Just when she had a look of shock on her face with a bit of confusion.

Cat-Opsie.

The door flipped up off the ground and Alice flew in it when it slammed shut. Red ran to the tree and tried to push it open. I tried to help her, but it was no use.

Red-Hey, that was very rude! Let her out!

Cat-Let her out? How can you let out what is already out on the other side?

(Y/N)-OPEN THE DOOR!!!

Cat-Oh, it's not a door. It's a tree.

(Y/N)-I'm gonna rip your tail off!

Cat-What? This tail? ~

He pulled on his own tail until we heard a small pop when it came out and then he tossed it in the air while Red screamed. He only laughed when he floated in the air to disappear. I watched the tail fly away and I felt so annoyed, but then Red took my hand and started to pull me to go with her.

Red-Hurry, Alice needs help!

(Y/N)-We don't even know where the castle is.

Red-We can see better on top of that tall hill, now hurry!

(Alice's POV)

I tried to find a way out of the garden when I heard singing and saw dancing cards. They sang about painting the roses red "Or they will lose their head". That was mere moments ago... Now, I was bowing with the cards as the queen walked by us and I wonder how much it would take to make her mad.

That cat tricked me into coming here and the thought of losing my head made me unable to stop shaking a little. She was in a good mood until she touched the white roses and got red paint on her hand.

Queen-Who has been painting my roses red?!... WHO HAS BEEN PAINTING MY ROSES RED?!?!?! SOMEONE'S HEAD WILL ROLL FOR THIS!!!

Card#1-I-It wasn't me! It was the ace! He collected the seeds from the merchant!

Card#2-Don't listen to him, your majesty! He planted the seeds and know it was the wrong ones! The 3 even came up with this idea!

Card#3-The 2 ordered me to plant them!

Queen-ENOUGH!!! OFF WITH ALL THEIR HEADS!!!

The cards were grabbed and taken away while begging for mercy and a tear came out of my eye from my heart being filled with fear. (Y/N) seemed terrified of her and I don't know how he knows her. She looked at me with a stern look.

Queen-Who are you?!

Alice-W-Why, my name is-.

Queen-Oh my. You are just a girl. ~

Her attitude was completely different, almost like she was soft and gentle now. Even though her voice sounded soothing, the fear she made me feel still lingered. I tried to speak again, but...

Queen-Stand up straight! Chin up! AND STOP TWIDDLING YOUR FINGERS!!!

Alice-Yes, your majesty!

It slipped out from fear crushing my heart, but she seemed pleased with how I sounded. The cheers and screams could be heard down the yard and when she turned her back to me, I looked at the noise, only to see an axe coming down with... blood already on it. I turned back to the queen and tried to be as perfect as I could, but I do not want her help in getting home. I would much rather have (Y/N) help me find my way, and even if he is unable to, it's much better than this.

Alice-I-If I may be excused, your majesty. I just wandered in here and would like to be on my way.

Just then, she turned to me and looked angry which made my whole body shake again.

Queen-YOUR WAY?!?!?! HERE, THINGS ARE MY WAY!!!... *sigh* Do you know how to play croquet?

Alice-... Yes, your majesty.

Queen-THE LET THE GAME BEGIN!!!

(Timeskip 10 Minutes)

((Y/N)'s POV)

Red really wanted to help Alice, but when we got to the top of a hill in a forest, we saw the castle was kind of far. When we made it, the whole place was surrounded by a bush, so we had to walk around until we found a way in. I told her that we had to be really quiet and if we saw a card or rabbit, they will take us to the queen too... I don't know for sure, but her not seeing us would be best. When Red and I finally found Alice... I saw this scene of her being used as a hammer thing to hit a hedgehog by a flamingo. Red looked really scared when she saw her with the queen.

Red-(Y/N)... What happened in the story?

(Y/N)-I never read this book before. I don't know.

Red-We have to help her.

(Y/N)-How do we get her out of there without getting caught?

(Queen of Heart's POV)

Of all the things that this girl could not do, it seemed fitting that she would be used as the mallet instead. All of a sudden the crowd was taken by something and I looked to see what it was... Another child is such odd clothing, and this one was a little boy. He slowly walked over to us and he looked frightened, so I put on a warm smile as I walked over to him. I do say that he did have an appeal to him, due to his unique clothing choice and he was adorably small for his height. I do think a few drops of potion to put him at my knees would be suiting.

Queen of Hearts-Hello there little one. Were you brought here the same way as this girl?

???-Um, yes.

Queen of Hearts-Don't say 'um', that is the talk for the dimwitted.

???-Of course... I'm here to see if Alice-.

Queen of Hearts-I don't care. Come along.

I took his hand and halted the game for the time being, but nobody is to leave the garden until I return. I brought the little boy into my castle and summoned guards to bring me a pedal stool to place the child on.

Queen of Hearts-Arms up.

He did as I said and I inspected his body. He has the right features, his looks are up to standards to that of the royal bloodline. Also, with the king gone for simply being too annoying with his talks about me being too harsh and me taking his head, I am in need of an heir after he failed to give me one.

Queen of Hearts-You are nearly perfect, but nothing that can't be fixed. Congratulations, you will be my son, the prince. Your name and you will address me as "Mother" from now on.

???-... I'm the, what now?

Queen of Hearts-That is an odd name.

???-N-No, that's not my na-.

Queen of Hearts-THEN WHY DID YOU NOT SAY IT?!?!?!

???-(Y/N)!

Queen of Hearts-I will let it be pardoned this time on the account that you are my only son, but do not let this happen again!

Just then a guard rushed into the throne room and looked a little panicked. I walked up to him and he stood up straight before he could make me lose my temper... I will have him beheaded later for him not letting me lose my temper.

Guard-Your Majesty! Another girl came and ran off with the other little girl!... She threw rocks at us and it really hurt.

Queen of Hearts-I have no need for them. Tell the others to be ready for some great news. I have just acquired a new son. Doesn't he look adorable? ~

I stepped out of the way to present my new son to my guard, but he only looked confused.

Guard-Your majesty?

Queen of Hearts-What?

I turned to see (Y/N) was not where I left him and then back to the guard when we heard a door slam shut. I now lost my temper in a way that I did not like at all! My blood boil and my first thought was me naming him my son and he dare run away from his new mother! He must know that other girl, so I ran to the doors and swung them open with my skin turning bright red from all my age.

Queen of Hearts-GUARDS!!! BRING MY SON BACK ALIVE AND OFF WITH THE GIRLS ' HEADS!!! *ECHO*

((Y/N)'s POV)

I ran as fast as I could away from the castle! Red should be heading back to the library with Alice, and I still hate this plan! I heard guards come running out into the forest and I was getting a little tired, but did not want to stop! Actually, I ran faster when I heard...

Queen of Hearts-Find the boy named (Y/N) and bring him to me! His mother! *echo*

There is no way I am getting trapped in Wonderland with someone that will kill others for stupid reasons! I kept on running and the guards didn't sound like they were getting farther... They were getting closer to finding me until something made me look behind me, and I saw the Queen of Hearts running after me with her heels slowing her down.

Queen of Hearts-(Y/N)!!! YOU COME HERE RIGHT NOW!!! ACT LIKE PRINCE!!!

Cards were behind her, so I kept on running and the library should not be far. The queen was slowing down, and she didn't let the cards pass her. It might be that she cares about being in front, and that's better for me.

(Alice's POV)

Little Red Riding Hood and I made it to the library where we should be safe and we just have to wait for (Y/N). I don't feel that it was right to leave him with that awful queen. Soon, we did hear noises outside and that's when (Y/N) came over a hill. He was running as fast as he could and the queen was soon behind him. Red and I closed one of the doors and left one open for him.

Alice-Please, hurry!

Red-You can make it!

He kept on running and when the queen tripped over, she tumbled down the hill to make her cards trip over her. (Y/N) made it in, completely out of breath, so we closed and locked the door. We went to his side and got him to lean on me to rest, but it didn't last.

*POUND*

*POUND*

Queen-OPEN THIS DOOR!!! GIVE ME BACK MY PRINCE!!!

Alice-Oh, dear! What do we do?!

(Y/N)-*Pant* *pant* Book. *pant* *deep breathe* Open *pant* a book.

Red ran to push on the door to help even a little as they were moving at each pounding sound. (Y/N) pointed a small row of books behind small chains, so I ran to it. I don't know how this will work, but I grabbed a random book and opened it. Nothing happened at first, but then the ground started to shake. I dropped the book and ran to (Y/N) with Red to hold on to him. He risked his life to save mine, so I could at least do this. I was so frightened and closed my eyes while crying a little until a bright light shined through my eyes and everything stopped... I opened my eyes to see Red and (Y/N) were both ok, and there was no longer any screaming from the queen.

Alice-What... happened?

(Y/N) fell to the floor to catch his breath still and Red pulled his head onto her lap while I got up to look out the window. I saw we were in a forest that looked normal. We were not here before and that's when I looked at the book I dropped. I walked over to pick it up and it was called...

Alice-Goldilocks and the 3 Bears... I never heard of such a tale.

I put the book on a table to help (Y/N) and gave him a kiss on the cheek to express how thankful I was to him and Red gave him a kiss on his other cheek.

Alice-Oh, thank you! You are a true gentleman to save my life!

Red-We did it!

His cheeks got a little red which was rather a little funny to see. We helped him to a small couch in here and sat next to him to rest as well. I was older than (Y/N), so I had him lean on me while I lied on the armrest and Red rested on him.

Alice's mind-When I make it home. I will make sure that Mother and Father know how truly brave you are... Maybe even discuss marriage for the boy who saved my life.

Chapter Text

((Y/N)'s POV)

Red, Alice, and I were looking for food since we were hungry and I didn't care which story we were in because I just want to stock up on fruit and water before we leave. We don't leave sight of the library, we don't do anything else to get attention from a little girl or 3 bears or anyone. We know we are just getting food and we put them into a box, and when it was full we just got 3 vases to fill with water for us. This is the only time we left the library, but not too far. Alice was walking right next to me and smiled as we talked until she looked back and didn't smile anymore.

Alice-Pardon me (Y/N), but... Where is Red?

I looked behind us and I didn't see her. There is no way we are that far ahead of her, so had to have left us to go somewhere else.

(Y/N)-Red!... LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD!!! *echo*... *Sigh* Help me find her.

We put our vases down and called out to her, but she didn't answer us until we were getting close to the library again, and we could hear her from far away. We ran to where we heard her until we saw her on a path from the top of a hill.

(Y/N)/Alice-Red!

She ran to us and looked excited when she grabbed our arms.

Red-Come! I followed someone to a house and they might be willing to share some food travelers like us!

(Y/N)-What house?

Red-It looks pretty, so they must be nice! Come on!

(Y/N)-Woah, woah, woah, woah... Woah. This book is Goldilocks and the 3 Bears, so that means we are not going to any houses.

Red-But Bears live in a cave and this world looks normal.

(Y/N)-Three bears go out for a walk and a little girl breaks into a house, tried everything in there until it was just right, and she runs all the back home when they come back.

Alice-But didn't you say that these books are different from what you read on others?

(Y/N)-I'm sure it will be... mostly fine. Bears can't be that fast if they are that big, right? Plus, if you leave them alone they won't do anything.

Red-No they won't.

(Y/N)-Huh?

Red-Mother always told me that bears will attack if they are hungry or just angry. I grew up in the woods and a woodsman even told me that most animals will attack.

Alice-And if she broke into their house... Wouldn't they get mad?

I tried to come up with an argument, but that was really hard. I tried making things up, but even they shot those down. I kept on going until they both had enough and took my hands to pull me a little to walk with them.

Alice-We will read the ending to see what happens. If she will be fine then we can leave her be.

(Y/N)'s mind-Please don't die, please!

We made it back to the library and Alice grabbed the book, and we all found a place to sit down for what felt like storytime.

Alice-*Ahem* Where could the culprit be? They all ran upstairs and tiptoed in amazement over to Baby Bear's bed. In it lay Goldilocks, sound asleep. Baby Bear prodded her toe. "Who's that? Where am I?" shrieked the little girl, waking with a start.

They both looked at me and I can tell this will end up with a bad ending, and we will go save her... I don't want her to die, but I don't want to go near bears. I'm allergic to sharp teeth and big claws that want to kill you!

Alice-Taking fright at the scowling faces bending over her, she clutched the bedclothes up to her chin. Then she jumped out of bed and fled down the stairs. "Get away! Away from that house!" she told herself as she ran, forgetful of all the trouble she had so unkindly caused. But Baby Bear called from the door, waving his arm: "Don't run away! Come back! I forgive you, come and play with me!" And this is how it all ended. From that day onwards, haughty rude Goldilocks became a pleasant little girl. She made friends with Baby Bear and often went to his house. She invited him to her house too, and they remained good friends, always.

I was actually surprised. Nobody died, nobody gets tortured, and it sounds like she learns a lesson. They felt better about my plan of leaving her be and letting the story run its course.

(Y/N)-See, everything is ok. She even makes a friend, so can we just collect the water and go?

Red-That was a nice ending and they sound lovely.

Alice-They do... Perhaps we could ask for some help to get water and more food than fruit.

(Y/N)-Well... They are friends even after breaking into their home.

It was settled. Red took us back to the house and just when the story looked like it just ended because we saw Goldilocks walk back to the house and to the 3 bears... I just didn't see the bears from the bush.

She looked a little older than me and taller. I felt nervous, but Alice and Red were the first ones to leave the bushes and I stayed behind them.

(Goldilocks's POV)

I felt relieved and sorry that I broke into the house and called it things like ugly. Mr. and Mrs. Bear were really not angry with me at all, and Baby Bear wanted to be friends. I was still lost and they said they would help me, but they looked at something behind me. I turned to see 2 girls and a boy with (H/L) (H/C) hair, and (E/C) eyes walk up to the house.

Mama Bear-Dear, are these friends of yours?

Goldilock-No. I never saw them before.

They stopped a few feet away and the fancy-looking girl that was the oldest of the group took another step forward. She even had an accent.

???-Hello, my name is Alice. These are my friends Little Red Riding Hood-.

Little Red Riding Hood-You can call me Red.

Alice-And (Y/N).

(Y/N)-Hi.

The Bears introduced themselves and Mama nudged me, so I looked up at her to see her smiling ad urging me to introduce myself.

Goldilocks-Hi... I am Goldilocks.

Papa Bear-So, what are 3 children out here all alone?

Alice-We are... lost, Mr. Bear. We were in the middle of collecting food and water.

Mama Bear-Oh dear. Four children, all lost and out here on their own?

Papa-Please, come in. We will allow you to stay until we can find your parents.

Mama Bear went behind them and led us all inside. Baby Bear wanted to play and he looked only a bit taller than a teddy bear, so it was like having cute fun. I looked at the others and noticed that (Y/N) had odd-looking clothes on. I sat next to him on the chair that was just right for me while he sat in Papa Bear's chair.

Goldilocks-So, where did you find those weird clothes? They look a little silly.

(Y/N)-Uhhh... You know, a... guy on a cart.

(Mama's POV)

I heard the children play in the living room, or rather my son, Goldilocks, and Red. Alice and (Y/N) seemed to be quiet and reserved. I thought one house a bit of ways away would be likely for Goldilocks, but the clothes the others were wearing. Red seemed casual and from around these areas, but Alice's clothes looked more fancy, and I have never seen clothes like (Y/N)'s before.

Mama-Dear, what do you think of this situation? Four children lost and the other three were collecting food and water.

Papa-They seemed a bit dirty too. They must've been out here for a while.

Mama-You don't think they were abandoned, do you?

Papa-Well... Let us not rush to conclusions. We will care for the children until we find their homes.

I love him for being optimistic, but this had me worried for them. I don't know how far they have come or what could've happened. I peeked into the living room and looked at (Y/N) sitting on Papa's chair while Alice read a book off a shelf, and Red and Goldilocks were playing with my son. I just paid special attention to the young lad.

Mama's mind-What happened? What region did those clothes come from? Is that your home?

I went back into the kitchen and my mind went else wear to try and think of all possibilities, and one didn't seem so bad...

Mama's mind-Five children... A hand full, but they are all so cute and or pretty.

(Timeskip To Night)

(Red's POV)

We thought it would be a good idea to stay the night and think about what to do next and Goldilocks was a little mean and nosy, but she is just learning. We all got baths, our clothes were washed, and we made little beds. We all had a story time and Alice and I told half of our stories about (Y/N) saving us, and the bears and Goldilocks loved it.

Baby Bear-Amazing story! Are they real?!

Papa Bear-Now slow down there chap, it's just a story.

Alice-Actually, they are real. (Y/N) helped save our lives.

I nodded my head and they looked at (Y/N) who already fell asleep, so the parents took Baby Bear with them to his room and left the four of us down here with candles for light. I looked at Goldilocks and Alice and I scooted closer to her.

Red-Hey, so how are you? I'm 7.

Goldilocks-I thought it was 'rude' to ask a lady for her age... But if you must know, I'm 11.

Alice-I'm 12... I hope you find your home soon.

Goldilocks-How did you get lost anyway? I just got tired of my parents ordering me around to do chores... Then I got lost after storming off for too long.

Alice-Well... I'm not sure how it happened, but it started with me following a white rabbit and I tumbled down a hole... Just a little.

Red-I told you in my story. I was attacked by the lying Big Bad Wolf and (Y/N) saved me.

Goldilock-What about him?

Alice-We're not sure, but... he is a true gentleman to help us in our time of need.

Red-I'm not really tired... What else may we talk about?

(Timeskip 3 Hours)

(Mama's POV)

My husband was already asleep in his big bed, but I could not sleep. The stories of those children lingered in my head and one may have a hard time sleeping. I decided to go check on them. I tiptoed as quietly as I could down the hall with a candle for soft light. When I made it to the living room, I heard all of them either breathing heavily or snoring softly.

I gave them each a gentle is on the head and stopped at (Y/N) to play with his (H/L) (H/C) hair a little until he stirred in his sleep. The slight brush on his cheek made his body act and grabbed two of my fingers. His small hands compared to my big ones looked so adorable and couldn't ever wrap around my two fingers completely! I looked at all the children again before I gave (Y/N) his kiss... Making a decision.

Mama-Such awful parents to lose their child... We can all be so happy here... My children. ~ *whisper*

I got up and blew out what little was left of these candles before I went back to my bed. This time, I could sleep much easier knowing that all of these children are home now. Papa will listen to me and my son will be so delighted to not only gain a brother, but three sisters. I lied in bed thinking about what I could do with my new children. Like brushing their hair since humans have less, but longer hair like my daughters do, and my sons can share a room.

Mama-*Squeal*! ~

Chapter Text

((Y/N)'s POV)

We were all having some breakfast and going to take a bath while our clothes were washed before we go. We didn't want to rush her and be rude before we leave, but after I took my bath first, Mama Bear held me on her lap while the girls all took a bath. This felt weird, but we were going to leave soon and actually have time to talk in private without having to worry about something happening and nobody will be in danger. She finished the laundry by taking out clothes off of a line outside and they were still a little wet, but good enough to put on. Red, Alice, and I were ready to go to the library to talk about where to go next, but... Mama Bear picked up Red and sat on a chair with her.

Red-Um, excuse me Mrs. Bear, but we should be on our way. Mother must be worried sick.

Mama-Well, we said we would help you and we will go soon.

Alice-But we already know where to go.

Mama-Then we will go with you. We can't just let children go out into the wilderness all alone, again. That would be irresponsible.

Red-It's not that far.

Alice and I both looked at her and she realized what he said and Mama Bear looked confused. She didn't ask how because I bet she didn't take it seriously, but Mama Bear or anyone can't come with us.

(Mama's POV)

What Red said really confused me and Alice and (Y/N) looked troubled by it, so something else must be going on. This talk I was going to have with my husband just became more important, but I had to find the right words. After a while, I put Red down to go play while I went outside to the garden where my husband was working.

Mama-Dear we need to talk about these human children.

He stopped what he was doing and gave me his full attention, so I took a deep breath. This was a big decision, but it was for the good of the children.

Papa-What about the children?

Mama-I don't think it's... a good idea to bring them home.

Papa-... I beg your pardon.

Mama-These children had to have left home or got lost from their parents losing track. Red even just accidentally told me that her home is not that far. Something has to be happening.

Papa-Honey, I'm sure we will get to the bottom of this, but we can't just suddenly take in 4 more mouths to feed.

Mama-We can not bring them back to awful or neglectful parents either. (Y/N)'s home has to be very far away with no clue how to get there.

Papa-We have to try something. They can't live with us because we simply don't have enough room, money, or food.

I felt so frustrated for the first time in the marriage that he will let bad things happen to the children, and that is not the bear I married and had a family with. We do have enough or we would if he would cut back on food like me, so I can feed our child. His portions of food can be 3 meals in one, and his bed is the biggest, even if he won't let me sleep with him for mental reasons. Now that I think about it, I have been the only one sacrificing in this relationship while he has not changed a thing for the good of our baby and now it could let 4 children suffer.

Mama's mind-... I won't let you. There will be room and food for those children, one way or another.

(Goldilocks's POV)

Baby Bear was still playing in his bath, so I was just sitting in the living room and I saw Red, Alice, and (Y/N) whispering to each other before they went to the front door. They stopped when Alice turned to me.

Alice-Please tell Mrs. Bear that we are sorry for leaving so suddenly, but we will most definitely be alright.

Goldilocks-Where are you going?

Alice-We are going home, just... not entirely sure on what to do when we get there.

(Y/N)-But hey, have fun here... Bye.

They went outside and just as they opened the door, Mama Bear was at the door and came in.

Mama-Hello children. Papa Bear and I are going to go out for a walk, so stay here and stay put. We're going to have a little talk when we get back about a few things. Let me tend to Baby Bear first and I will be off.

It felt weird that she was going to leave us alone here, but when she went to the bathroom where Baby Bear was, they sat down to wait. I was curious about a couple of things now, but mostly about these 3. I went to go talk to Mama Bear, but when I got close to the bathroom...

Mama-Mama has a surprise for you, Sweetie. ~

Baby-What is it Mama?

Mama-You are going to have 3 sisters and a brother, but we have to keep this a secret for now. Don't want to spoke them We need to ease them into it. ~

Baby-Goldilocks is gonna be my sister?

Mama-That's right, but don't tell them. *shhhhhh* ~

What was she talking about, 'sister'? I already have a home and I want to go back and be a better daughter to my parents. She even wants to keep the others here. I heard her footsteps, so I ran to the living room where others were and sat on the couch to try and act like I didn't hear anything, but the three of them looked at me.

Alice-Are you alright?

Goldilocks-*Shh*.

Just then we heard Mama Bear coming down the hall and I turned away to not look at her, but I did hear her leave after telling us again, and Baby Bear was staying in his room. When she left, I waited a little and turned back to everyone and told them to do what I wanted to do in the first place...

Goldilocks-We gotta get out of here! *whisper yell*

Red-What?

(Mama Bear's POV)

I took my husband out for a walk and trying to talk him into letting us keep the children. I tried compromising, helping out more, and even seducing him a little, but he was stubborn about not taking them in. When I brought up his food that he would be fine sharing a little of his big bowls with them, then it could work out, but...

Papa-I'm simply bigger and need to eat more. Plus they have families that feed them.

Mama-Their families lost them or something worse! What Red said and how her friends reacted was concerning and based on their clothes, I don't have a clue where (Y/N) is from! We can't let them go and leave things to chance!

Papa-It's not leaving them to chance. We will talk to each parent.

Mama-We don't know them! Please!

He only sighed and looked frustrated.

Papa-You are only making this harder than it needs to be. This is happening.

Mama-... No... This is happening.

I pushed him off the trail and down a hill of mud, rocks, and poison ivy. His thick fur protected him against the fall, but the mudslide I got started by hitting the ground super hard a few times before I pushed the log on the side of the path to make it cave and got Papa buried alive. Finally, I took the ring buried under my fur off and tossed it on top of the mud at the bottom of the mud where my 'ex-husband' is.

Mama-You don't want to help them, then fine... I can do fine without you.

I made it back home, but I caught a scent in the air that belonged to all of the human children. I rushed inside to see the children were not in the living room, but their scent was still strong.

Mama-No!

((Y/N)'s POV)

The four of us were running as fast as we could. Red said that bears can smell as good as wolves, so we had to get out of here before she finds us. When we made it to where we could see the library...

Mama-Children!... Where are you going?! You shouldn't be out here! *echo*

She sounded far away, but if she caught up this fast then she'll catch us in no time if we don't hurry. She can already smell us, so there was no point in being quiet.

(Y/N)-Hurry! Get inside!

Goldilocks was the fastest but slowed down at the entrance a little before I pushed her in a little and Red was the last to get inside. I closed the door and locked it before I ran to one of the books and tried to find a safe one on the shelf, but there was only one that I didn't know called "Snow Queen".

Red-Pick one! She's coming!

(Y/N)-Hold on! I gotta find one that's the least bad! I never heard of Snow Queen, but I know the villains in Snow White and Wizard of OZ.

Goldilock-What are books going to do to help us?! We need to get to a village!

Mama-Children! *echo*

She sounded closer and she'll be here before we know it. If she's as strong as a bear then those doors will not hold her at all if she tries to break them.

(Y/N)-Ok, ok, I'll... Wait, where's the key?!

Goldilocks-What?

(Y/N)-Who touched it last?

Red-I thought you had it! We picked out food before you did!

I looked at the table where I thought I put it, but it wasn't there and everyone saw this.

Alice-Oh, dear! F-Find it!

(Goldilocks's POV)

We all ran around this stupid library to find a keep for the small chains on the books they wanted for some reason. I tried to help look and soon found a key kind of blending into a chair, so it was a little hard to see. Just then...

Mama-Children, what are you doing in there?! *echo*

I panicked and ran to the bookshelf and unlocked a random chain before I showed the book to Alice.

Goldilocks-I got a book out!

She quickly took it from me and opened it and when we were about to hear Mama Bear right at the door aside from her loud and fast footsteps, the library started shaking and fancy candles flashed a bit while light from the windows shined brightly until... it looked a little dark in here. I was on my butt trying to guess what just happened and Red fell over and was crying a little until (Y/N) helped her up and hugged her before he came to me to help me up.

(Y/N)-Are you ok?

Goldilocks-What just happened?! I-Is this witchcraft?!

(Y/N)-Umm... I guess it is... What book did you open?

We looked at Alice with the book and she closed it to read the cover of the book, and it was starting to get a little cold in here.

Alice-This book is called, "Snow Queen".

Just then Red opened the doors and a bit of snow blew in before she closed it. We looked outside and it was snowing really hard outside, so I can see why this was called the Snow Queen from all of the snow, but this makes her a witch. I felt so confused and scared right now, so I turned to (Y/N) and his stupid (H/L) (H/C) hair and (E/C) eyes to get his stupid attention.

Goldilocks-Hey! Take me back home right now! RIGHT NOW!!!

(Y/N)-Calm down!

Goldilocks-No! I want to go home and never s-see you or *hic* a-a bear ag-agai- *hic* agai-.

Just then Alice grabbed me and pulled me into a hug to try and calm me down, but it only made me cry into her.

Alice-Lets... get a fire started in the chimney and then we will tell you everything as best as we can. Ok?

I could only nod my head and she took me to a seat and kept me in a hug while (Y/N) and Red tried to start a fire, but were having a hard time. I was cold, scared, hungry, and I just wanted to see my Mommy and Daddy again! I cried even harder and curled up in the chair.

Goldilocks's mind-WHAT IS GOING ON?!?!?!

(No POV)

The walls of the palace were formed of drifted snow and the windows and doors of the cutting winds. There were more than a hundred rooms in it, all as if they had been formed with snow blown together. The largest of them extended for several miles. They were all lighted up by the vivid light of the aurora, and they were so large and empty, so icy cold and glittering! Empty, vast, and cold were the halls of the Snow Queen. The flickering flame of the northern lights could be plainly seen, whether they rose high or low in the heavens, from every part of the castle. In the midst of its empty, endless hall of snow was a frozen lake, broken on its surface into a thousand forms. Each piece resembled another, from being in itself perfect as a work of art, and in the center of this lake sat the Snow Queen, when she was at home. She called the lake “The Mirror of Reason,” and said that it was the best, and indeed the only one in the world. The Snow Queen walked into her quarters and stared into the mirror.

Snow Queen's mind-Perhaps a sled ride will be in order after the storm. For now, I will take a nap.

Chapter Text

((Y/N)'s POV)

Even with the fire, it was still a little cold in this place. The snow would not stop and none of us wanted to open another book about how bad it always goes and Goldilocks hated her first time doing it. We only had so many books on that shelf and I told them what I know about the other books, but it was going to be a whole lot worse if we go there. I just took all the books upstairs and put them into the office, so nobody opens them on accident. I looked at the sign about imagination before I looked at the pen.

(Y/N)'s mind-Grandpa, was this library always like this?... This is crazy.

I went back down to the others and we tried to figure out what to do right now. Some of us wanted to leave, but Alice was still reading and so far we know about a girl named Gerda and a boy named Kay. Red and Alice wanted to go help her, but Goldilocks and I wanted to stay here. I would be lying if I said I didn't want to go help her, but e got no jackets here and it's super cold out there, even with the snow calming down.

Goldilocks-Fairy tales always have a happy ending! They will be fine!

Red-I almost got eaten by Mr. Wolf at home!

Alice-I don't see anything about snow, yet.

(Y/N)-Maybe the story is already finished.

Red-But we just got here.

I sat down next to Alice and Red near the fire and they both leaned on me and they were warm. Goldilocks got in front of me and leaned back to push me against the chair a little. When I relaxed... I felt pretty warm.

Alice-At last, the final chapter mentions The Snow Queen.

Red-What happened to Gerda?!

Alice-I am more worried about Kay.

(Gerda's POV)

Kay would not last much longer and I tried my very best to find help. Soon, I saw a building in the middle of the snow, so I helped Kay over to it and tripped into the snow while crying. I kept telling myself, just a bit longer and Kay will be fine, but that sudden turn and trip down into the snow were too much... Kay was bleeding from his brittle and icy skin.

Gerda-KAY!!!

I tried to cover the bleeding, but it was no use. The snow only got more red and my tears fell into the snow.

Gerda-Kay, get up! We are close to curing you! I know it!... Kay?!... KAY?!?!?!

He wasn't moving and I knew it was too late for Kay... They were gone and I whelped as loud as I could. He was kidnapped and I just rescued him, only to have him die. I wanted to hold Kay longer, but my heart raced when I felt like I was being watched. I looked back at the building and ran to it while praying for Kay to forgive me. When I made it to the building, I saw a light inside, so I pounded on the door of desperation and exhaustion.

Gerda-Hello?! *sobbing* Please, help me! *sobbing*

I kept on crying and when the other door opened I looked at who opened it and they covered their mouth when they saw how I looked.

???-*Gasp*!

(Timeskip 30 Minutes)

((Y/N)'s POV)

Alice wanted to wash the blood off of Gerda's clothes and Red said we needed to melt some snow to make some warm water, so Goldilocks and I did that. The whole time Gerda was crying and curled up on the couch. I don't think she had frostbite, but I never had frostbite, so I don't know what to look for. When Alice gave Gerda her jacket back to bundle up more next to the fire, I sat next to her and tried to calm her down... She leaned on me and I gave her a hug.

Gerda-*Sniff**sniff*.

Alice sat next to her on her other side and Greta pulled me onto her lap a little to hug me tighter.

Alice-Are you alright? Can you tell us what happened?

She shook her head and made hicking sounds like she had a problem breathing normally when you cry too much. She just needed time to calm down and Alice did not go back to reading this time, but just sat next to the fire. Since Kay is not here and we saw blood on her... We know and the last thing we need to do is freak her out.

(Y/N)'s mind-I guess the story is finished... Well, at least as long as we stay put, it can't get any worse from here.

(Snow Queen's POV)

I was out in my sigh, enjoying the cold and crisp air before I venture off to other warm areas of the world. In the distance, I saw something, like a tavern or a home with a yellow light coming from the windows. I went over to the building and stopped a couple of feet from the entrance before I got out to knock on the door. It took a moment before the doors finally opened and I saw that it was a little girl that opened the door, and she looked far too young to be on her own here.

???-... Um, h-hello.

Snow Queen-May I speak with the adult?

???-Um... There are no adults here.

Snow Queen-Then who is in charge?

???-... (Y/N)! Alice!

I expected her parents to answer the door, but instead, it was a boy around her age and a little girl that just looked slightly older.

They both looked afraid of me and when I opened the doors all the way, a gust of wind blew in and I could feel the warmth from that fire until my cold snow snuffed it out. I looked around to see more children in here, but what I stopped at was my reflection in a mirror.

(Y/N)-Hey!

Snow Queen-Silence, little one.

He tried to speak up again, but I just walked past him and the girl to see that this place was a library. The youngest in red tried to push me out, but a mere child is powerless against me and not even worth the effort.

Snow Queen-What are four children doing in a place like-?

I overlooked something, but I think I recognized a description of a girl from a boy I had in my custody.

Snow Queen-Hmmmm... You must be the friend of that boy.

She was about to speak, but then the little boy got in front of her, so we both looked at him. I almost laughed at his attempt to be a hero given his size, age, those (E/C) eyes, and... those clothes. I never saw something like that fashion style before in any part of the world. I knelt down to his level and took a closer look at them. Full of life and oddly reminds me of one of my favorite winter memories... given its always winter here, but still.

Snow Queen-So, you will try to be her hero?

(Y/N)-Uhhhhh... I-.

I picked up and placed him on the table to be at my level as best as he could. One of the girls tried to save him, but I grabbed her wrist and looked at her.

Snow Queen-It's very rude to interrupt a Queen's work. Just sit down like a good girl.

???-My name is-!

Snow Queen-Now (Y/N), I never saw clothes of this region before. Where do you hale from?

(Y/N)-I'm not telling you anything!

Snow Queen-You will. I could just... freeze this place by buying it in a blizzard or turning some of your little friends into icicles... Now,... where are you from?

(Y/N)-... Th-The United States.

Snow Queen-I never heard of such a place... I suppose it will be frozen and colder soon enough. I do find this culture of clothing interesting... Tell me more.

((Y/N)'s POV)

I have no idea what to do except just tell this lady whatever she wants and just hope she leaves. After so many questions about my home, she looked a little happy and smiled at me.

Snow Queen-Very interesting. This 'United States' you speak of must be quite wealthy from the fashion sense alone, not to mention the tall building that can scrap the sky. It would be a perfect place for a queen and her new prince.

Alice-You don't have a prince.

Snow Queen-I do now.

She picked me up and was about to take me outside, but the girls blocked the door and Gerda grabbed me to rip me from her. I fell to the ground, but better than being taken by her... This made the Snow Queen super angry and the wind started to pick up in here and made it freezing cold.

Snow Queen-You 'dare' defy the queen of this land?

Gerda-You took Kay from me! You're not taking anyone else, you-!... YOU WITCH!!!

Ice started to form on the walls in here and we were all scared, so I had to think of something and fast. I got in front of Gerda and hugged the Snow Queen to calm her down. Everyone looked surprised and I just hope this works.

(Y/N)-Wait! I'll go with you!... I'll tell you more stories about my home and it can be about 'anything' you want.

I secretly looked at the girls and hoped they would catch on. The Snow Queen picked me up and the girls had to hold Gerda back while she was yelling at her to let me go. I just went outside into the snow with her and looked back to see Red running around the library.

Snow Queen-You will be a start of a new collection. You will just have to become accustomed with the cold first. I do not tolerate warmer parts of the world.

I could tell because she even felt as cold as ice. I had to get down and be ready to make a run for it back to the library as soon as they got a book ready. I looked to see Gerda crying again and fell to her knees while I think I saw Red at the window, holding up a book.

(Y/N)-O-Ok, but can I walk... My feet can get used to the snow.

Snow Queen-I will be carrying you to the sled. Once we return home, I will postpone my advancements on the warmer territories of the world to get you accustomed to this weather.

The sled was still close, but it won't take long for her to catch me. I gotta think of something.

(Y/N)-Wh-What will you do to help me do this?

Snow Queen-The first is a nice cool bath, charming you to help your body, having no clothes on in a snow storm, and lastly, giving you the kind of clothes I have.

(Y/N)-That sounds... kinda cold.

Snow Queen-Kind of? It better be freezing for the first while.

She put me in the sled next to her and I scooped some snow off the edge of the seat. She grabbed the belt to whatever for the sled and at the last second... I threw the snow in her face... or tried to. She blow the snow into the air before it could even reach her face.

Snow Queen-... Was your plan to blind me with snow and run back inside?

(Y/N)-... No.

(No POV)

The Snow Queen Held (Y/N) down and used ice to keep him in the sled before she took off with him as the girls watched in horror as their secret plan fell apart right before eyes. They all ran outside but had no hope of catching up to the sled as the snow started to come down again. One of the girls never liked this plan and after losing someone close to them very recently, they were 'NOT' going to lose another.

Gerda's mind-You... YOU WITCH!!! I WILL GET HIM BACK EVEN IF I HAVE TO BURN YOU ON A STAKE!!!

Chapter Text

(Snow Queen's POV)

I had (Y/N) in one of his first sessions in my quarters while I do other tasks that need my attention. Once my kingdom has a proper prince, it will not be as lonely to be on the top of a new world. I could see the world being covered in snow and there being no hot or warm places. A beautiful winter for everyone as far as the eye could see. I will be looking for his home and see about them designing a new wardrobe for me and my new prince. I suppose his parents would retaliate to get him back, but freezing them would do the trick as long as he doesn't find out.

Snow Queen's mind-Perhaps a new name for him would be in order. I'll check on him in after I take care of a few things.

I will start by trying to find more suitable areas of the world to cover in snow.

(Gerda's POV)

I knew where the castle was and it wasn't much farther now. I only took one girl with me and Red wanted to come, but I thought she was too little to do something this dangerous. Alice really hated the cold and so did Goldilocks, but Goldilocks didn't know how to make a fire or want to help clean the chimney to make a new fire, so she came with me while the others keep a fire going. I got into the castle once and I'll do it again. Besides, we only had 2 sweaters and extra blankets to keep Goldilocks and (Y/N) warm from when we get back. The girls said there's a way out of here, but it was settled that we were not leaving without (Y/N).

Goldilocks-Why does this place have to be so cold and snowy?!

Gerda-I'm cold too, but we got all the warmth we can get. The castle is not far now.

Goldilocks-... Stupid Snow Witch with her stupid snow. *grumble*

I ignored her and thought about (Y/N) and Kay. I just needed to have (Y/N) back with me and in a lapse of judgment, I pictured myself burning the Snow Queen on a stake. I stopped myself and wondered where that came from. I kept on having these kinds of thoughts until we saw the castle and we slid down a safe path to get to the castle faster. We stopped at the stables the Snow Queen had and we saw her sled... I know we can't outrun her with her on her sled, so why not just take it? The beasts were still tied to it anyway.

Gerda-Put the extra jacket and blankets on the sled. We need it when we leave.

Goldilocks-But what if that witch sees it?

Gerda-Put it under the seat. It should hide it for long enough.

She did what I said and we headed inside. Last time I found Kay in the dungeons, so we will check there first.

((Y/N)'s POV)

It was so cold in here, but this glowing ice was the only thing less cold. I still had my clothes on, but Snow Queen told me that she was going to take them at some point, "when I could handle it". I tried to get out, but she took my shoes and the ring of ice around me stung my feet from being so cold.

(Y/N)'s mind-I'M GONNA FREEZE TO DEATH IN HERE!!!

My body continued to shiver until the door opened and I saw 'her' come in and smile at me.

Snow Queen-Ahh, right where I left you. Are you ready to accept me as your mother or are we going to have to get numbing you to the cold the hard way?

I don't trust her to not turn me into ice or something. I'm not staying here either way. I didn't say anything to her and slowly turned away from her and more fog came around me which made me colder.

Snow Queen-If you are going to be this difficult, I can make the first lessons harder than they need to be to get that attitude of yours adjusted... Perhaps if you tell me more about your home, I can stop making it colder in here.

(Y/N)-I-I-I'm n-n-no-not te-telling y-y-you anything! I like the c-c-cold!

Snow Queen-... You will, my little prince... You will.

She left the room again and I was alone again to shiver in the cold. Each time I lost feeling in my toes, I felt a little warming from the fog going away and then got colder again.

(Goldilocks's POV)

This place was freezing and he was not even in the dungeons. When we got to the higher floors, we heard footsteps echoing down the hall, so we hid in a closet and did not move. The faint colors in the ice showed us the Snow Witch a little bit and let us see her walk by. When she was gone, we got out of the closet.

Gerda-She came from this way... Maybe (Y/N) is down here. Come on. *whisper*

I followed her and we checked door after door until I found a room with (Y/N) in it and he was shivering in a corner with food around him. It was colder in here than it was outside, so I waved to Gerda before I ran in and grabbed his shoes on the floor.

Goldilock/Gerda-(Y/N)! *whisper yell*

He turned to look at us and he could barely move, so I gave him the blanket covering me to warm him up and Gerda gave him her scarf before she carried him. He was still shivering and she had a little trouble carrying him, but we had to go. We left the room and had to be really quiet if we wanted to get out of here. It was hard to stay quiet when (Y/N) was making noises from being so cold and I think he was hurt from how cold he was... He was starting to cry.

(Y/N)-*Hic* *hic* sniffle* *hic*.

Gerda-No, no, no! Please don't cry! I have you and we're leaving. ~ *whisper*

That didn't stop him and she tried giving kisses to calm him down, but... all I know it just annoyed me a little until we heard something.

Snow Queen-(Y/N)!... Is that you?! *echo*

We both ran the other way to hide in a room, but we could not see through this one. We were too scared to go back out there and footsteps past us, so I cracked open the door. Gerda pushed me out a little and we tried to get downstairs. Suddenly, it got even colder in here. The ice floor changed, so it was not slippery at all anymore, but when we turned around...

Snow Queen-Put him down... 'Now'.

Her voice sounded so cold and even when she didn't look mad or yell at us... I could feel it.

Gerda-RUN!!!

We both ran down the stairs as fast as we could and the Snow Queen looked like she was just walking fast after us. The ice around us was moving and tried to stop us, but e slipped past them. (Y/N) was completely crying now and soon the Snow Queen started running after us. We were getting close to the sled and when we got in the Queen was right behind us, so Gerda grabbed the belt thingies.

Gerda-YAH!!!

The animals got up and started moving, but the Snow Queen grabbed on, so I pulled (Y/N) closer to me.

Gerda-GET OFF YOU-!!!

She was stopped by the Snow Queen suddenly kissing her and making her look dizzy. I grabbed a sweater from under the chair and threw it at her face to blind her before I lifted her fingers off to make her fall into the snow. The animals kept on running and (Y/N) clung to me while I grabbed the belts since Gerda didn't look so good.

Goldilocks-Ok, ok. Driving can't be that hard... That mountain looks familiar.

(Timeskip 20 Minutes)

(Red's POV)

I kept on looking outside for the others coming back and I missed my dear friend (Y/N) so much. I was actually getting a little angry while waiting, so I tried to breathe. Alice looked worried too and even had a few tears. Soon, I saw something coming to us from outside. It was the sled.

Red-They're back! Alice, they have returned!

I opened the door and she came to my side to greet them, but we soon saw a big cloud of snowy clouds behind them. When they got close enough they stopped the sled and we saw Gerda look dizzy and look around while (Y/N) was curled up and crying in the sled.

Goldilocks-Help! She's coming!

We both ran to help (Y/N) and Gerda back into the library. Goldilocks and I got (Y/N) while Alive helped Gerda and she fell on top of her and onto a soft rug.

Goldilocks-The door! Get it!

Red ran to close the door just when the cloud got super close and she locked it. The only light we had was the big fire in the fireplace since the cloud made this place so dark we could barely see the walls. Suddenly...

*BANG*

The ground shock and the cloudy look outside were not even there anymore. The sound of the wind from the blizzard was gone too.

Goldilocks-What just happen?

I felt so scared and I was not the only one about to cry like (Y/N) and Gerda passed out on Alice, so she could not get up. Red tried to unlock and open the door and... we only saw a wall of snow... We were buried in snow. She closed the doors and leaned on them when she cried for her mommy and I wanted my mommy too. I just wanted to go back home and bring (Y/N) with me to help me feel better. Things just got worse though...

Snow Queen-Oh (Y/N)... I know you are down there my little prince. There's nowhere to go. *muffled*

It came from above us and we saw snow coming down on the fire.

Goldilocks-... Get a book... GET A BOOK!!!

Alice tried to get up, but Gerda kept her down, (Y/N) could barely move next to the fire, so Red and I tried to look for the books in the dark, but we couldn't find them and didn't have much time!

Red-Where are the books?!

GoldilocksI don't know! J-J-Just any book! Hurry!

The fire was getting smaller, the room was getting darker and all there was inside was a book full of smaller books. Red and I ran to it, but she beat me there and opened a book. It didn't work at first, so I could not hold back my cries anymore and curled up. The soft laughter we could outside from the chimney went away when the fire went out and a sudden white light flashed in through the windows while the library shook. When it stopped, sunlight was coming in, but it looked close to sundown. I noticed that all of us were crying. Alice finally got Gerda off of her and slowly went to open the door. I crawled over to (Y/N) with Red and we both got in the blanket with him. He still felt so cold and some of his skin was a little hard.

(Alice's POV)

I collected myself a little and wiped my tears while I looked outside. Fear still struck my heart when I looked around and I thought about the simple times before I made the wish to go to Wonderland and follow the white rabbit. I made it a few steps down a trail before I collapsed and cried next to a tree.

???-Hello?... Hello?

I heard a voice and my body flinched. I covered my mouth and I just could not trust another right now, so in fear... I ran back to the library. and closed the door.

(???'s POV)

I know I heard someone crying and it was not my son or my friends... They sounded like a little girl. I tried to search for the crying again, but it stopped. I felt nervous, but maybe they were just scared and hiding. Soon, I saw something new that I wasn't sure what it was when I did see it. I saw footprints leading to this strange house and small dots of wet dirt. Someone must've been crying and got scared when I called out to them. I thought about getting the others, but I think getting a group to crowd them would make things worse. I looked at my reflection in a pond on the path before I went up to the doors and knocked on them.

I waited for a little it, but nobody answered, so I put my ear to the door. I heard faint noises in there and it sounded like more crying. I wanted to help, so I tried to push the doors open, but they were locked. This thing was so cold and covered in a bit of snow all over it. It's the middle of spring, so how is there snow on this thing?

Kanga-Hello?... Is anyone hurt in there?

Still, nobody answered the door. What I was about to do would be considered rude and nosy, but leaving someone alone that is sad and scared is worse. I peeked through a window and saw someone on the floor that was barely moving, so I tried to open the window. They were not locked, so I managed to squeeze my way inside with a bit of a struggle and they looked like the same kind as Christopher Robin.

Kanga-Oh my goodness! Are you alright?!

She slowly looked at me before she looked around and looked at her hand.

???-Where... am I?... Who are you?... Who am I?

I felt her head and looked around for first-aid supplies, but instead saw someone peeking from behind a chair and shrunk back in. Their crying got a little louder and when I hopped over there, I saw two little girls and a little boy huddling together under a blanket, but one look at the boy's toes told me he had frostbite.

Kanga-*Gasp*!

Suddenly, I saw another girl that was also crying in here hiding behind a shelf with small chains on it. They all looked so scared and that one girl just looked so confused.

Kanga-Who... are all of you?

I realized I had no time because that boy with frostbite needed help now, I want to check the others too, but they need to be taken to my home for me to help them all.

Chapter Text

(Kanga's POV)

I took the children to my home and had "Alice" help me with "Greta". She was out cold and freezing somehow, so we had to get her in front of a fire and under blankets to warm up. When I had Greta taken care of, I checked on (Y/N), Red, Alice, and Goldilocks, and (Y/N) had frostbites. This was so odd since there was snow on that building, Greta is freezing, and it hasn't even rained for months. Everyone else seemed fine at the moment, so I focused on helping (Y/N). I wanted to take care of everything that was the worst first before Roo and the others come back. The frostbite on his feet, arms, and hands will take a while to go away, but I kept on treating him.

Kanga-What happened to all of you? Where are your parents?

Red-Umm... We do not know, Ms.

Kanga-Call me Kanga, Dear... *Sigh* All of you, stay next to the fire with Greta. I'll make some soup once I am done with (Y/N).

The girls did seem a little clingy to him, so I wondered if this was an adopted siblings relationship or something.

Alice-Here, please allow me to help him. I think I learned from watching you.

Goldilock-I wanted to help first!

Red-Don't touch him!

They all crowded him and he seemed to be sore when he winched in pain. Due to his young age, he had a few tears, so I nudged the girls a little.

Kanga-Children!... (Y/N) is very sensitive right now, so you all need to be calm. I will let you know when and if I need help. For now, you all must rest before we talk.

They seemed to listen to that, but stayed close to (Y/N). I soon made good work of his frostbite and got to work on the soup before I heard voices from my friends and son outside. I should give them a fair warning about these children. They are already on edge and still in bad shape.

(Red's POV)

We heard other voices outside and it made me feel nervous from the other books we've been in. I curled up against the chair (Y/N) was on and Kanga put a lid on the soup she was making for us.

Kanga-Children, stay put. I will be back shortly.

She left the house and I looked at (Y/N) since now will be our moment to speak about what book we are in. Goldilocks and Alice looked at him too.

Red-(Y/N),... do you know about this book?

(Y/N)-Y-Yeah... No bad guys or anything, but made-up monsters and fun adventures. The worst thing here is bees.

Alice-Are you sure?

(Y/N)-... Also, my throat and lungs burn when I talk... I'm gonna stop now.

I carefully leaned over the chair to hug him and found there was room for me. I got on and leaned on him while we felt the warmth of the fire. He closed his eyes to sleep and I soon yawned and felt sleepy after the whole adventure at the snowy place and the Snow Queen. Just then Alice came over and did her best to slip in and have him sit on top of her. Goldilocks came over and pressed down on (Y/N)'s lap.

Goldilocks-Does this part hurt?

He shook his head, no, so she lied across all of us and got comfy... It was a comfy sleeping pile and body heat will help him too.

(Kanga's POV)

I had Roo in my pouch as I explained to everyone what I found and exactly what happened to the children that I know of. There was even a library out there where I found them in. Heffalump said he would get his mom to help check out the library. As for the others...

Rabbit-A whole library?! A big building filled with books doesn't just pop out of thin air! And covered in snow, no less.

Owl-I do believe that it is nowhere near winter. I can conclude that snow at this time would indeed be impossible.

Roo-Can I go inside and meet them?!

Kanga-Now, hold on. They are in very bad shape. The oldest girl is freezing and out cold while the only boy has frostbie, so I don't want us to go in and crowd them.

Tigger-Why not?! All they need to warm up is a good bouncing! Hohohohoooo!

Tigger bounced around us and I do know my friend well enough that he would act like this, but those children need to be watched and well-rested right about now. Plus, it would help as we explore the library.

Kanga-Perhaps we can let them rest while we look more into this. When Heffalump returns with his mother, it will only make the party at the library that much safer.

Rabbit-We will need more time to prepare! Th-There could be traps in there! Magic spells if it "came out of nowhere"! This is indeed very dangerous and Kanga is right! We need it to be just us there and nobody touches anything unless they are sure it is safe, and those kids will need to stay here!

Pooh-Will a library have honey?

Rabbit-Did you not hear me?! Traps Pooh, TRAPS!!! That honey could be poisoned or worse!

Pooh-... Empty?

Rabbit's face went blank as he took the others with him, but I took Roo inside with me to put him down and check on the soup. When we got inside I saw the children piled up on the chair and footstool, trying to nap until they peeked at us. Greta was still asleep.

Roo hopped out of my pouch and over to them to say hi while I got back to cooking and realized the soup was done now. I beckoned for Roo to come over for a bowl of his own before I got the girls to disperse to have their (F/S) soup with some bread to go with it. (Y/N)'s hands must still be sore, so I fed him. His blushes were cute, but he didn't like the others watching. It's a shame he can't feed himself right now.

Kanga's mind-A mother's work is never done... It does help with cute moments like this though.

Kanga-Does this soup make you feel warm inside? ~

(Y/N) only blushed and nodded his head a little, but I noticed he had a difficult time swallowing. His throat must be sore too and while this soup will help in time, I do have medicine for a sore throat.

Kanga-Wait right here. I'm going to get something for your throat. ~

Roo-I wanna help!

(Goldilocks's POV)

Roo wanted to try and take care of me, but Ms. Kanga was hogging (Y/N) and she's been hogging him all day by keeping us apart to take care of us. She said if (Y/N) gets sick, she doesn't want it to spread to us as fast, so she cleans herself after leaving him alone to take care of the rest of us. She made us lay down while she checked our temperatures with some kind of weird glass stick thingy. Roo helped by giving Greta hot rags to put on a hand on her head and she felt a little warmer, but still cold. When Kanga came to me she checked my temperature again.

Goldilocks-Ok, still healthy. Are you sure you would not rather go to where (Y/N) and Greta won't get you 3 sick? I would hate for you to catch what they got.

Alice-We are sure, Ms. Kanga. Thank you.

Greta-*Groan*.

We all looked to see Greta opening her eyes a little and he stretched her arms and legs. She looked around the room and looked confused and scared, but Kanga and Roo went up to her and she backed up.

Kanga-Please Dearie, do not be afraid. Try not to love too much either.

Roo-Mama is very nice!

Greta only looked around the room and what she said next, even confused us.

Greta-Who are all of you?!

Alice-What?... Greta, it's us.

Goldilocks-We helped you out of the snow... Well, not her and her son.

Red-It's us. Red, Goldilocks, Alice, and (Y/N).

(Y/N) only waved at her, but she still looked afraid while Kanga went over to her to help her get back to where she was.

Kanga-Do you know if she hit her head or something?

The others looked at me and I thought about the sled ride... She didn't hit her head or anything... Or at least, I do not think so... My sled riding could have been better.

(Timeskip To Night)

(Kanga's POV)

Rabbit and the others came by earlier to tell me they were going to find the library in the morning when they were ready, but I was worried about these children. (Y/N) and Greta were still recovering from frostbite and amnesia. At least she was warming up and her color was coming back. They wanted to help each other, but there were 2 fights over (Y/N) today between Alice, Red, and Goldilocks that I had to settle. Roo was asleep in his room and I checked on the children a few times before bed, but I saw (Y/N) struggling in his sleep, so I picked him up.

Kanga's mind-Poor thing. He must be having a nightmare.

I gave him soothing touches to calm him down and when he was calm, I decided to take him to my room and sleep with him tonight. Whatever they find tomorrow, I hope it gets these children home... That made me think.

Kanga's mind-How far are they from home... How could all of these awful things happen to them?... Where are their parents?

I tried to go to sleep, but this all bothered me too much to even get me to sleep. Mama Heffalump should be close by for the mission tomorrow... Perhaps she and I could go see it first. I didn't want to leave (Y/N) here, so I carefully wrapped him up in a blanket and took him outside with me while the others slept.

Kanga's mind-If your parents are irresponsible or you just might not have any, I can't let you leave on good conscious... Christopher Robin's house will be too small for all of you, but I'm sure if we all work together, we can make extensions to my house and you all can live with me... Having more cute children does sound nice and Roo will have siblings to play with.

I liked this idea and looked at (Y/N) before I tapped his nose and smiled.

Kanga-*Giggles*. ~

(Greta's POV)

(Dream Start)

I was walking alone in a blizzard, looking for someone... Kay. I remembered Kay, but after I found his body buried in snow and frozen solid, I could not stop crying until his frozen body stood up.

Greta-K-Kay?!

He only looked at me and started to melt when the storm calmed down. I felt so weak and on my knees while I watched him go away.

Greta-NO!!! DON'T LEAVE ME!!! NO, NO, NO!!!

I managed to grab him, but someone was inside of him... They were coming out of the ice. I saw (H/L) (H/C) hair first, (S/C) skin on the forehead, and then (E/C) eyes. The person came out more and more while I tried to remember their name. They told me before... I heard it before...

Greta-(Y-Y/N)?

(Y/N) only hugged me when he was free from the ice and this feeling made me feel like Kay was still here in a way. I returned the hug and cried into him while I was still on my knees.

(Dream End)

I woke up to the crackling sound of a fire in the living room with tears in my eyes. I wiped them away before I looked where I saw a small bundle on the couch that I think was (Y/N). My heart was beating faster and faster, but in a good way as I thought of Kay.

Greta's mind-You're all I have left of him... You have to stay with me when I return home... You just have to.

I don't know what I would do if someone tried to take him from me, but then I saw the soft light reach into the kitchen where I saw a set of knives... A few thoughts popped into my head, but I shook them off and tried to go back to sleep while staring at the bundle of what I believe is (Y/N sleeping.

Great's mind-Nobody will keep you from me... Not even the Snow Queen... That witch.

Chapter Text

(Kanga's POV)

Mama Heffalump and I just got to the library and there was not much else to see other than a building full of books and some of it had prison bars that were fully made of metal. I had (Y/N) sleeping on the chair while I checked a few rooms while being careful not to touch anything. I found an office and noticed a weird pen on a pedestal next to a desk with ink and an empty book. On a final look around the library, I noticed some writing on the walls. They said "Imagination is an adventure", "The pen is mightier than the sword", and "Worlds with no limitations". I went outside and saw Mama Heffalump searching the outside of the building for anything suspicious.

Kanga-Anything weird?

Mama Heffalump-This... The whole thing is rather weird.

Kanga-Anything weirder... Like magic?

Mama Heffalump-Not that I noticed. I don't even know what I am looking for to be exact.

Kanga-*Sigh*... The others will be here in the morning. Maybe they will find something we didn't.

Mama Heffalump-May I see the little one, one last time before we go back to the others?

I hopped inside and still saw (Y/N) sleeping soundly, but on the way out, I saw something in a box that I overlooked and Pooh was on it.

Kanga-Huh?

I went over to the box and took the book out before I opened it. I picked up (Y/N) and brought him outside before I held him out for Mama Heffalump to hold him in her trunk. Cradled like a baby, but her focus turned to the book I brought out.

Mama Heffalump-Is that Pooh on the book?

Kanga-It is... Let's see here.

I opened the book and started to read it, but it was mostly pictures rather than words. Even on a page, I saw...

Kanga-Me?

(Mama Heffalump's POV)

Kanga looked shocked and surprised as she read the book to herself while I held the little boy and I must say that he looks rather adorable sleeping in my trunk. I swayed him a little until I saw the grimm look on Kanga's face.

Kanga-This all happened before... Exactly like this.

I got behind her slowly to not wake up (Y/N) and saw some contents in the book.

(Red's POV)

I was shaken awake by someone and it took a moment for me to fully open my eyes. I was staring at my pillow. I yawned before I turned over to see it was Alice the did it and it was still dark outside. The others were awake too.

Red-What's going on?

Gerda-(Y/N) and Kanga are both gone!

I jolted out of the bed of blankets on the floor and stood up while looking around and Gerda looked really mad. My heart sank as I thought about what I was just told.

Red-Wh-Where did they go?!

Goldilocks-Where do you think?! I bet they went to that library! They wanted to see it all day!

Gerda-Where's the library?!

Alice-It's a bit of a walk from here, but if we hurry we might catch up in time to get (Y/N).

Red-We need to leave after! She might do it again if we are to stay!

We quickly got ready to leave and Gerda could run faster than us, but we had to show her the way to the library. I was the slowest, so Gerda held me on her shoulders and gave me the job of pointing her to the library. I started to think of how gentle and caring Kanga was, but even the thoughts of her holding and giving him kisses...

Red's mind-It really makes me mad!

((Y/N)'s POV)

When I felt something tickle my nose, I started to wake up and hear noises and voices like I was outside. I even felt like I was on something very soft, and when I opened my eyes, I saw I was outside at night with Kanga and Mama Heffalump from the book.

Mama Heffalump was holding me and I saw Kanga had their book in her hands, so I started to panic a little since I have no idea how they might react to it, and she and her friends do overreact to some things... This is already big news. Kanga saw that I was awake, so she walked up to me and showed me the book... I felt like she was my mom about to ground me or something.

Kanga-What is this?

(Y/N)-Um... a book.

Kanga-I know a child could not do this, so who spied on me and my friends?

She wasn't yelling, but I could see that she was still mad and I tried to get out of the blanket to get ready to run. Mama Heffalump just put a bit of her trunk over me. I had to think of something and quick... Maybe I could tell a bit of the truth.

(Y/N)-Th-This is my grandpa's library, I wasn't around when he spied on you! I swear!

Kanga-What about your parents? Do they do the same?

(Y/N)-Ye-! I-I mean, no!

She didn't really believe me and she tossed the book back into the library before she took me from Mama Heffalump to hold me in her arms while I was still in the blanket.

Kanga-Well, thankfully you were not introduced to that awful habit. Spying on others is simply a horrible thing to do to other people who have not done anything. Where are your parents and grandpa?

(Y/N)-I-I don't know.

Kanga-Well, until they have a talk with me and my friends, you and the girls will just be staying with me.

I don't want to get her even more mad if I wanted to get out of these blankets and try to get out of here. I can always come back for the girls. I snapped out of my thoughts when I felt a trunk rub my head.

Mama Heffalump-Now dearie, it's still dark out which means we need to try to go back to bed... May I hold him until we make it back to your home? ~

Kanga gave me back to Mama Heffalump and she gently swung me around, but I think she was actually trying to rock me to sleep while playing with me... This could be my chance to try and win them over quickly before we get too far.

(Alice's POV)

This is just like the incident with Mama Bear wanting to keep us, and now Kanga took (Y/N). We were almost back to the library until we saw Kanga, a giant pink elephant, and she was holding (Y/N) in her trunk walking down a path.

(Y/N)-Mama Heffalump, can I lay on your back until we make it back to the house?

Mama Heffalump-Sorry little one, but you might fall off in that blanket. ~

(Y/N)-You can unwrap me and I can hold on to you.

Kanga-I'm not having you get cold out here. Now that you and the girls are living with me at least until I see what your family is like, you will be under my rules. That means, it's bedtime and you will stay in there.

(Y/N)-But... Mommy, I want to come out for a little bit.

They both stopped and I think this has to be some kind of trick... It better be a trick. Kanga looked at him and I think she was blushing a little before she smiled. She took him back from Heffalump, but kept him in the blanket and... kissed his head. This really bothered me and now her just holding him was building up stress.

Kanga-I know you want out, but you should try to go back to bed. 'Mommy' and her friend need to sleep too. You can sleep with me tonight though. ~

Alice's mind-Put him down... He only loves us, so he will never say-.

(Y/N)-Ok.

He gave her a small kiss on her cheek which made the both of them giggle at him. My heart felt like he just shattered at that simple word alone. My mind filled it's self with unkind thoughts, but they stopped when Gerda walked past us and to the living stuffed animals.

Red-What is she doing?! *whisper yell*

Goldilocks-There is an elephant out there! *whisper*

Alice-Elephant... Help me gather rocks and acorns! *whisper*

(Kanga's POV)

I know (Y/N) is trying to sweet talk his way out of bedtime, but it still felt nice to have him call me Mommy. Maybe, he will mean it sometime soon when he is given more of my love. On the way back home, we saw someone walk out onto the path and it... was Gerda.

Kanga-Gerda? What are you doing up?

Gerda-... Give me (Y/N).

Kanga-Excuse me?

Gerda-I am being nice right now. I want my little brother, please... Now.

Kanga-That is no way to ask for starters and you should be in bed with the rest of the-.

Just then, we heard yelling and we saw Red, Goldilocks, and Alice come running at us before they threw rocks and acorns on the ground and this made Mama Heffalump cautious where she stepped.

Kanga-Children! What has gotten into-?!

Just then Gerda caught me by surprise to wipe (Y/N) out of my arms while bumping into me to make me fall on my side.

Gerda-Go!

The girls started to run and Mama Heffalump could not stop them without hurting herself, so I tried to catch up to the girls. I got Gerda before they could make it to the library and (Y/N) looked uncomfortable when I grabbed him and we fought for him.

Kanga-Let go of him this instant!

Gerda-I'm not... I'm not going to feel like this EVER AGAIN!!!

I had no idea what she was talking about, but the rest of the girls came over to knock me down, so Gerda could run with my son again. I hit my head on the ground and everything was spinning and ringing while the girls got off of me.

Mama Heffalump-Kanga!... Kanga! *muffled* *echo*

It took a moment for my head to clear and realized what just happened... Those girls are kidnapping my son to bring him back to that bad family! Mama Hefflump managed to get out of that mess of rocks and acorns to get to me and help me up.

Mama Heffalump-They're getting away! Quickly!

I ran with her after the girls and this betrayal really hurt me. I just wanted to take care of them, but the girls...

Kanga's mind-If they are truely like this... Then I will just take (Y/N) in as my son!

((Y/N)'s POV)

The girls got in the library with me and slammed the doors while we saw Kanga and Mama Heffalump coming this way. I was about to yell to get a book from the box, but Red already got one, opened it to teleport the library before she threw the book to the ground in anger.

*SLAM*

Gerda put me on the chair and I tried to get this blanket off, but Gerda pinned me back onto the chair and looked mad too... Goldilocks and Alice were also mad.

(Y/N)-What?

Goldilocks-Mommy?... YOU CALLED HER MOMMY?!?!?!

(Y/N)-I-I was just trying to get out of this, so I could get ready to run!

Gerda-While you were away from the house?... Away from us?

(Y/N)-I was going to get you!

Red-YOU KISSED HER!!!

Alice-They would have caught you! You wanted to come here alone, didn't you?!

(Y/N)-I-I mean I was come back when they were not around!

They did not like that and Gerda took off her scarf to tie around the blanket to keep me in. When the library got to the new book, the girls did not care and instead surrounded me.

Red-You saved us just to leave us?!

Goldilocks-Do you know how scary that would be to be alone in a new world?!

Alice-I thought you cared about us!

(Y/N)-I-I-!

Gerda-Stop!... I called you my little brother and I meant it... So you are going to learn how to be 'our' brother.

They were all glaring at me and I think I was starting to wish that I stayed with Kanga and Mama Heffalump.

(Y/N)-*Gulp*.

Chapter Text

((Y/N)'s POV)

I just sat on the bed to rest while I wait for Ruby the Rabbit to come back and thought about every book and episode I saw when I was younger, but nothing was too bad. I think the worst is Max stealing cookies or something and this book is for babies... On the other hand, so was Winnie the Pooh and Kanga and Heffalump did what they did... Or was it because of the girls that they just got mad?... I don't even know anymore. I need to keep some stuff from Ruby and everyone here if I'm really stuck here... Thinking of it again made me feel sick to my stomach. The door opened and I saw Ruby again and she looked around the room and then back to me. 

She stayed at the door and I stayed by the bed without saying a word to her. I could tell she was nervous too, but at least she had her home and world. I'm the one that has to fit in or else I have nothing and will be out on the street. I have to say or do something. Come on, just say something! You already know her!

(Y/N)-Um, hi... I'm (Y/N).

Ruby-I'm Ruby.

She walked a little closer to me and I felt nervous from the other times this has happened and it ends up badly.

Ruby-I know you're scared, but can I ask a few questions? First off... What exactly are you?

(Y/N)-I'm... human.

Ruby-I never heard of those. Where did you come from?

(Y/N)-Um... I... I'm from space?

Ruby-Space? You're an alien here?

(Y/N)-Y-Yes.

She looked surprised before she looked happy and took my hand to bring me downstairs with her. I guess what I told her was partly true, but still... She's taking this way too well.

(Ruby's POV)

I found an alien and he's friendly. I was scared at first until I thought of what this could mean when everyone hears that I have discovered the very first alien. I had him sit down in the dining room and got a notepad and pen to take notes. I even got us both water.

Ruby-Just a couple more questions and we can do a few things... How old are you?

(Timeskip 45 Minutes)

(Y/N)-Are we done with the questions, yet?

Ruby-Just a few more.

(Y/N)-You said that 8 times already.

Ruby-But then I keep getting more... Ok, just one last question and we are done. Scouts honor.

(Y/N)-... Ok, just one.

I looked through my list and I had 17 to pick from. I have to make this last question count.

Ruby-Ok... What do you-?

There was a knock at the door and I just got up to answer it while I left (Y/N) at the table and when I opened the door, I saw Louis and Valerie at the door. They looked worried.

I just remembered that I didn't call to check in a few times like we all agreed to do... I also might've put the phone on mute and meant to call in between some questions. Louis quickly gave me a hug.

Louis-Why didn't you call?!

Valerie-Did something happen?!

Ruby-I guess I lost track of time... Where's Max?

Louis-Roger is watching him. What made you lose track of time? We were worried sick!

(Beldam's POV)

I skipped a few parts of the book, but overall, it sounded like I was meant to die after Coraline looked me in my world. I had Mel come in here and read the part of my demise before she put the book down. She looked scared because she knew I was mostly mad.

Beldam-Do you know what I can do right now?! I can give you your self-conscious back and have you kill that blue-haired little brat over and over again until you break! I even have half a mind to do that!... Lucky for you, it's different now.

Mel-Does this mean I am off the hook?

I picked up the pen and added the final period it needed to make what I wrote happen to her. She flew back and slammed into the wall and was pushed against it by nothing, but this knocked all the wind out of her.

Beldam-No, it doesn't. I would not dream of bringing that little brat back here, even if it's just to kill her again. You on the other hand, I don't mind keeping you alive to play a little game... I know you will miss being a mother... So you will watch me be a mother to the boy who made all of this possible. Not only that.

I painting frame came out of the wall around her and I saw her start to turn into a canvas as she looked horrified. She struggled to try and get free, but it was completely hopeless for her. She also watched the old house change a little with the painting to look fancier and nicer. When the transformation was complete she was moving around in the picture frame and pounded on the canvas to try and get out.

Mel-Please, I'm sorry for what Coraline tried to do, but I can still serve you!

Baldam-But you will serve me as entertainment. Watch. 

I walked up to the painting and drew a spider twice her size and when I was finished, it came to life and bite into her arm.

Mel-AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!

When her arm came clean off she fell to the ground to be eaten alive. Now comes for the fun part... The painting went back to when she was alive, but she kept her memories. She looked at me with fear in her eyes.

Mel-Pl-Please. I'll do anything!

I just smiled before I took the painting and brought it to my room while ignoring her cries for mercy. I only answered them by drawing her dangling over a pit of fire ants while the rope was slowly burning. When I left my room to tend to other business I wrote the girls to come to me and when they got here, they lined up.

Girls-Yes, mother.

Beldam-The time has come for you to fetch (Y/N) for me for him to be my son. The one who captures him first gets to help care for him the most when I am not around.

Girls-Yes, mother.

Beldam-Now, go before you end up like Mel!

They couldn't have known what I meant but left the house to leave in the library. I went back into the room to look out the window and see hordes of people working to build a better house, yard, and so much more. I could make it easier and instant with the pen and some paper, but this is just more fun. When the screaming stopped in my room I turned to Mel in the painting and she was on the ground completely traumatized. Perhaps I should give her full awareness back and let her break naturally.

Beldam-Let's play a game... I'm going to let you be you, and I will see how long it takes for you to break. I have so many ideas for this wonderful canvas... Do you prefer lava or stomach acid? ~

Mel-Pl-Please.

Beldam- Don't worry. I'll let you out when you are a proper good girl. Now, let's have some fun.*chuckles* ~

(Ruby's POV)

Louis and Valerie were meeting (Y/N) and Valerie went over to the house phone to call the boys over. (Y/N) get really nervous around them and didn't want to be crowded, so he kept his distance from us and hardly talked about anything. He would only confirm the questions I asked him earlier. Soon, he wanted to be alone, so I let him go back to the guest bedroom and it looked like he was going to take a nap.

Valerie-Why did you find him again?

Ruby-By the river bay where I planned for a picnic. Someone even tied him up, but he wouldn't say who.

Louis-Someone tied up a six-year-old?

Valerie-What bout his family? Was anyone else there or look like it?

Ruby-I didn't see anything to look around that much.

Louis-Well... Roger said Max was in a bath after he got dirty in the garden, so maybe I can call to check around the river before coming over.

Valerie-Shouldn't we go help look?

Ruby-Someone has to be here to watch (Y/N). If he tries to leave or if whoever tied him up comes back, we need to have the house locked up and ready to call 911.

Valrie-Then we can't send Roger and Max out there if someone is looking for (Y/N). That can put them in danger.

Louis-Police won't believe this... I saw Roger and Max search the river for only a little bit, stay in a group and be out there or 10 minutes tops. Whoever did that to (Y/N) won't be after them. Plus, it's been a while, so maybe they are gone.

Ruby-Well... It should be a bigger group than 2 and have an adult. I can call my grandma.

I was still nervous about this, but we really want answers. We made a few calls before we went to peek in on (Y/N) and saw him already sleeping in the bed, so we tip-toed in to stay quiet. Valerie reached out to touch his (H/L) (H/C) fur on top of his head while Louis gently grazed his furless skin.

Louis-Woah. *whisper*

Valerie-I wonder if there is more of him out there. *whisper*

He stirred in his sleep and when I propped my hands on the bed he gently wrapped his arm around one of mine. He snuggled into it and my friends and I watched his head slip down on top of my hand from the bed going down a little and he curled up.

(No POV)

Ruby/Valerie/Loius's minds-So cute! ~

Chapter Text

((Y/N)'s POV)

I woke up to hear a door close and when I looked, I saw I was alone in the room. This made me think if one of the rabbit girls just left or if I was just hearing things after all of these crazy days. I had a dream of the memory of how this all started for me and I hated myself. If only I just actually played outside instead of sneaking into that stupid library. When I thought about the girls ditching me here, I wondered why they did it if they loved me so much they would start treating and training me like a dog. I stayed in the room until I was so close to crying from not having a way home now.

(Y/N)'s mind-Oh, what's even the point of that stupid library! It can only take me to other books!

I don't know if Grandpa knew about all of this or if he had a way back, but my plans only got me here. 

(Y/N)-*Sniffle*... I'm never getting out of here. *whisper*

(Valerie's POV)

I had my ear on the door and I heard what (Y/N) just said and he sounded upset. He started to cry to himself in there and I wanted to go in and ask him what was wrong, but if he's an alien, he might be stuck here. At least, that's my guess. I couldn't imagine what it would be like if I lost my home. I snuck off to the living room and saw the girls sitting on the couch to hear what I found out during my turn to listen in on the alien.

They saw how I looked a little sad because I felt sorry for him.

Ruby-What happened?

Louis-Is he awake?

(Timeskip 3 Minutes)

(Ruby's POV)

(Y/N) told me something different before, but it must have been a secret he wanted to keep. He just needs to learn that bottling up your feelings is not a healthy thing to do. I doubt the boys will find anything if they didn't find something by now from what really happened to (Y/N). He really needed some cheering up right now and it would help if we made some stuff from his home, but... we have no idea where that is or what it looks like, so we were brainstorming on what we could make for him here.

Ruby-We can make him cupcakes.

Valerie-He also deserves extra comfort. Maybe even moved out here with us.

Loius-I think some hugs and cuddles can help too. It always helps when someone is scared and sad. 

Ruby-Let's start the cupcakes while Valerie makes the bed for him out here on the couch.

Loius-Just warm up some blankets in a bit. I can let him lean back on me... Makes it easier to hug and cuddle to make him feel better that way.

We all got to work on our ideas and the boys should be back any moment now.

(Roger's POV)

Max and I were racing paper boats down the river and having a good time while the girls dealt with that alien. Max just doesn't know about the alien or else he would do anything to go see it and it could be dangerous. Right now, we were looking for alien technology or something, but with nothing like that here, Max wanted to race boats. We were going for round 5 as soon as I finished making the boats when I heard a stick break from behind me, so I turned around. What I saw made me freeze in place while Max was still playing near the water.

???-...

Roger-You're... Y-You're a-...

They just ignored me and walked away, but I got up to try and stop them from leaving so soon... They didn't like that because they grabbed my arm and stomped on my foot.

Roger-AAHHHH!!!

???-The only ones allowed to touch me are my mother and brother... Do it again and I and my sisters will break something.

(Goldilocks's POV)

I left this bunny and a smaller bunny running over to him while looking afraid of me. I had one goal and one goal only. To bring my little brother home to our mother and be the best sister to him. Mother will be so happy with me. The thought alone made my heart skip a beat and even more so when I thought about feeding him, cuddling him, bathing him, and whatever else Mother will let me do. My sisters split up to find (Y/N) and plan to meet up at the library, but whoever does not show up, we will check their area. I already know I want to treat him like an adorable little brother, Gerda wants him to be a baby brother, Red wants him as a big brother to care for her, and Alice wants him as a little brother too. 

Goldilocks-He doesn't seem to be at the river... The town. 

I tried to find a way across the river, but it took a bit of time to find rocks I can use to cross it. When I did make it into town, I thought it would be best to hide for now, so (Y/N) doesn't see me coming. I have to find him first.

((Y/N)'s POV)

I was taken to the living room and Louis had me lean back on her on the couch under a blanket and Ruby was making cupcakes. I didn't care about anything right now, but when I asked to be alone they all said a speech or something that I just pretended to listen to. Something about feelings or whatever this book likes to talk about that's babyish. When Ruby came in with the cupcakes, she just gave one to me and they all watched me eat it. They still tried to talk to me, but I just agreed with whatever they said while thinking to myself.

(Louis's POV)

(Y/N) did seem really sad and it was depressing that he wasn't even crying, but just looked... I don't even know the word. He was like a poor puppy you just wanted to hold close to you forever.

Valerie-Do you like having your... um...

Ruby-It's hands. *whisper*

Valerie-Hands massaged?

(Y/N)-Yeah.

Louis-You want her to do it right now?

(Y/N)-Uh-huh.

He seemed cute like this, but he jolted a little when Valerie did the very thing he said 'yes' to and he shifted a little into me. I giggled a little, but then there was a knock on the door, so Ruby went to answer it and we could hear Roger starting to talk so fast we could barely understand him. The only thing we could pick was...

Ruby-Max?... Roger slow down!

He kept on talking and it didn't stop until...

Ruby-ROGER!!!... Talk... Slower.

(Beldam's POV)

I gave Mel a break by trapping her in an ice block in the painting while I tried to find out what else this pen might be able to do. It can bend the world and everyone in it to my will, but it surely must be able to do something else. I can't control (Y/N) for some reason and he's not here to tell me why. All of these questions and no...

Beldam-Answers.

I grabbed the pen and wrote down a question that only I will know the answer to.

Beldam's mind-While Mel was blinded with an angry wasp nest engulfing her head, how many cocoa beetles did I have?

I finished writing it down on the paper and a number started to form and it said, '5'. It was right and made me smile, so I tried a few other test questions, each I would know a little less. After 10 of them, I found I could only ask about stuff that has happened or is happening, not things that are going to happen.

Beldam-Where is (Y/N) from?

I couldn't wait for this answer, but even after 5 minutes of waiting... Nothing.

Beldam-RRRUUUAAAGGGHHH!!!

*SLAM*

I threw the book at the painting and the block of ice shattered into pieces along with Mel which brought her back to life again.

Beldam-THIS PEN CAN BEND REALITY AND OFFER ANSWERS NOW, BUT IT STILL EXCEMPTS THAT BOY!!! WHAT IS SO FUCKING SPECIAL ABOUT HIM?!?!?!

Mel-Wait!... I can help with that! 

I glared daggers at the painting and I know Mel had her free will and actions back, but she was breaking. Even after I killed her daughter while I made her help and watch.

Beldam-And what can you do that this pen can't?

Mel-Y-You sent little girls th-that he doesn't trust anymore or will not when he gets here... Ma-Maybe he'll open up to someone he sees is in the same boat or worse when we are alone.

She did have a point, but I still don't trust her enough for that. I will have to put her back under my control or...

Beldam-Ok, but let's put you under harsher conditions. Make sure to tell him exactly what I am doing to you. ~

I went over to panting and drew her strapped to a table and an axe was slowly coming down while swinging. To add salt to the wound, I put a big fire under the metal table with fire ants covering her.

Me-AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!

Beldam-*Chuckles*. ~

I went outside to relax and let the girls bring my son back to me and to help pass the time, over 3 dozen people massaged my feet, and hands, carted to me and waited on me hand and foot. It also made me smile at what else I can do to break Mel in faster... I asked everyone here for ideas. Physical rape, public humiliation, letting everyone paint something of the painting for shows 24/7, disembodiment, staying alive during cannibalism as just a head being forced to watch her body being eaten. All such horrid ideas...

Beldam-Where to start?

(Ruby's POV)

Max was still scared when he saw another alien like (Y/N) and wanted to just be in his room to play for a while or something. Roger came with the rest of us upstairs while (Y/N) took a nap in the living from the panic attack that Roger caused for him. Telling him other 'humans' were here and this one had blonde hair with a bit of a maid's dress must be someone awful is someone as sweet as (Y/N) to be afraid of. I remember (Y/N) mumbling, "I'm never getting home". What Roger is saying now is... not so friendly.

Roger-We need to give him to that other alien!

Ruby-But if she's bad and (Y/N) is scared of her, we can't do that. He's already scared!

Roger-If we keep him here, that girl might come back!

Valerie-So we call the police.

Roger-We can't keep him here! More might come!

Ruby-But what if he gets hurt if he goes back with that girl?... You're ok with it? That's not nice of you at all!

He tried to defend himself even more, so I just excused myself from my room and my friends came with me to leave him alone. We went back down to see (Y/N) and it looked like he was... I don't know, but he seemed restless and he didn't even notice me, but I saw he was sweating. He needed a wet washcloth and an ice pack.

Ruby-Louis, Valerie, stay with him!

I ran to the kitchen and they tried to get his attention as best as they could and during my time in the kitchen... I came across a stick of soft butter. I started to think as I went back to the living room with the stuff to help (Y/N)... What if it was me, or Max, or Valerie, or Louis, or even... 'him'.

Ruby-...

I went back to the kitchen and grabbed the butter and went to the stairs. I looked to see Valerie and Louis watching me while (Y/N) was still looking like he was looking off into space.

We kept staring at each other until Valerie stepped aside to block (Y/N)'s view to make sure he doesn't see this.

(Roger's POV)

This is all crazy and I don't understand why they would want to get into something like this. I thought it over and over in my head again until I couldn't take this anymore. I am going home and I am calling the police to bring them here and look for that other mean alien outside there somewhere. I was going down the stairs but on the third step... I slipped.

*Whack*

*Wham* 

*Thud

*Thud*

*CLASH*

((Y/N)'s POV)

I suddenly screamed and finally saw everything around me, like I was suddenly laying on the couch differently, there was a washcloth on my head and an ice pack. The girls were around me, but I saw another rabbit at the bottom of the stairs and he was crawling now.

Ruby-Oh no, Roger had an accident!

Ruby and Louis ran over to help him and Valerie pulled me into her a little. He looked at me like he was scared before they put him on a chair. When Ruby saw me looking at them, I think she thought that I looked guilty.

Ruby-Don't worry. Roger will be fine. Accidents are just when something bad happens and it's not anybody's fault. He just didn't watch where he was stepping because he was acting silly earlier. 

Valerie-It's important to always be careful in places like on the stairs, the kitchen, or just anywhere.

Louis-We don't want anyone else to get hurt... Don't we Roger?

I could barely pay attention to them from me thinking about the girls coming back. They got the library and everything that can possibly way with that! Not to mention that the Beldam is back in her book that you can get to with the library and if they went back and the Beldam got the library to come find me or find a way to the real world... I really would be stuck here. Thinking about everything over and over again... I felt like I was going to get sick.

(Y/N)-*Cough* *gag*!

Valerie-Oh my! Come on, let's get you to the bathroom!

(Roger's POV)

Ruby went over to where the ice pack was and brought it over since I think I just sprained my ankle and wrist from falling down the stairs. She put the ice packet on my ankle by dropping it on me which really hurt, but Louis covered my mouth and grabbed my bad wrist to squeeze it.

Roger-Ahhh! *muffled*

Ruby-Doesn't feel good, does it?... Think about how (Y/N) feels, even from what you just saw. You scared by telling him about that girl and made it so much more worse than it already was for him. Did you ever think of what it would be like if it was 'you'?

Ruby leaned in close to me and grabbed my bad wrist with Louis to help squeeze harder.

Ruby-I took care of my little brother for so long and he is no older than Max, so I will make it clear... (Y/N) is staying, the police will find that other alien, and if you do anything to stop it just remember that accidents can happen 'anywhere'.

Just then they both squeeze harder to make me scream into Louis's paw.

Louis-Anywhere.

I was scared and they both let me go before Ruby when to call the police and Valerie came back in to put (Y/N) down on the couch before Louis cuddled over to to block my view of him. Valerie went to wipe up the stairs while glaring at me and putting at her eyes and then at me.

Roger-*Gulp*.

Chapter Text

((Y/N)'s POV)

Ruby kept me in her room and in a bed she made in her closet when she saw I wanted to hide really well to make sure the girls don't find me. I just know one of them is guarding the library or maybe they came back with people that they know want me. Mama Bear, The Queen of Hearts, Kanga, Mama Heffalump, The Snow Queen, and THE BELDAM!!! They were really controlling, but now they can bring others here that are much bigger and stronger than me... I was too scared to go out and find the library and I was crying in this stupid closet. When Ruby opened her closet from it being cracked, she and her friends all had something for me. Ruby had a sippy cup with milk, Valerie had a sandwich, and Louis had a stuffed animal.

I felt so ashamed of myself that I wished my Mom and Dad would come out of nowhere to just yell at me to grow up and leave no matter how bad it was. Instead, I get...

Ruby-Hi there. I got some milk to go with your peanut butter and jelly sandwich. ~

Louis-I even brought you a toy to cuddle in here. ~

 (Y/N)-I... I should be out trying to-.

Ruby-But (Y/N)... You told us that girl and her friends betrayed you and they could bring others here, including a monster. It's not safe until the police catch them, so you need to stay here. ~

Valerie-Do you even want to go outside? Let alone look around for the thing you need to find.

I really need to say "yes", get up, and leave this house, but the girls acted so weird and I don't know if this is just to scare me into them or something, but bringing everyone here to capture me... I won't make it home anyway. I took too long to answer them because Ruby same in the closet and put my head on her lap before she put the sippy cup in my mouth. Louis made me hold the stuffed animal and Valerie sat next to Ruby to get ready to feed me.

Ruby-Isn't this much better? ~

(Ruby's POV)

I don't think he knows if he wants to stay or go, but I know it would be best if he just stays here. Having a cute alien at home is just too good and I know he will need me, just as much as Max, if not more... He's not going anywhere. He already doesn't fight much from being so scared, so maybe reminding him of the bad things to keep him in my room isn't so bad... 

Ruby's mind-It's just like reminding someone to look both ways before crossing the street.

I could tell he was unhappy and still fighting himself on this, but he'll learn.

(Red's POV)

This town really did look like it came out of a storybook and everyone was a bunny here. Almost like Alice's world, but less mad. I'm in a little town and made it to some houses without being spotted. When I checked in through the windows while listening for (Y/N), I noticed a few bunnies in a metal wagon with strange uniforms. I thought it would be the worst thing if they saw me. When they passed by, I ran across the road and got in the middle of some houses. Then I heard something from a really high window.

???-*Giggles* Come on (Y/N), open up. I made this sandwich for you! ~

Red-*Gasp* (Y/N)?! *whisper*

Red's mind-Wait... ARE THEY FEEDING MY BROTHER?!?!?! 

(Roger's POV)

I just finished the sandwich Valerie made and they were all upstairs with the alien. Since I could not get up, I spent some time with my thoughts. I heard the window open next to me and I looked over it to see nothing, but the open window that I knew was closed.

Roger-Huh?... Valerie?... Louis?... Ruby?

The room was quiet besides the giggling upstairs, but then a red cloth came around and tried to choke me. I couldn't scream and felt something pushing on the back of the chair.

???-*Grunt*!

I kept on trying to fight back, but I was still sore from falling down the stairs. Soon, I started to black out and lose all of my strength until everything was dark.

Roger's mind-Who would... do this?

(Valerie's POV)

We got (Y/N) to come out and sit in the middle of the floor with all of us around him, but he still looked unhappy. Just then, there was a ring at the doorbell which annoyed all of us. We all thought we could give (Y/N) a while to himself to go answer the door and make sure that nobody gets in. We saw Roger sleeping on the chair when we answered the door, but nobody was outside.

Ruby-Hello?

Ruby stepped outside to look around while we were in the middle of the door. Suddenly, we got pushed with a pillow from behind and forced us out of the house. I didn't even see who before the door was slammed shut. We tried to rush in and get whoever was inside, but the door was locked.

Ruby-MAX, (Y/N)!!!

(Max's POV)

I heard noises out there, so I hid under my bed and saw a shadow of feet at my door. I covered my mouth to stay extra quiet while they passed by. Next, I heard voices and I couldn't hear everything.

???-*Mumbling* come with *mumbling*... Gerda... mother. *mumbling*... Now! *muffled*

I heard more footsteps and noises outside, and it was Ruby calling me. I waited until everything was quiet before I left my room and checked the house to see nobody... The window in the living room was open and I tried to shake Roger awake, but he would not wake up. I ran to the door where I heard my sister and her friends, so I unlocked and opened the door and I was instantly pulled into a hug by my sister while her friends ran upstairs.

Ruby-Max! Are you ok?! Is (Y/N) ok?! Did you see him?!

A lot of stuff was happening and her friends screamed upstairs, but I noticed one thing... Nobody was helping Roger and he was not moving or even waking up... 

Max's mind-Is he in a deep sleep?

((Y/N)'s POV)

Red made me follow her out a window and sneak out or else she would come back with the girls, but my heart really sank when she said 'mother'. I do know who she meant, like if it was her mother, Mama Bear, or... No, it can't be her. They would already be dead or stuck in that world. Red was holding my hand as tight as she could before we made it back to the library. I looked around for the others and nobody was here. Before I could think to just push her out and go into another book, she took me to the barred-up part of the library before she closed the door to lock me in. I turned back to her and she was smiling at me like I was cute and she didn't just do something completely crazy.

Red-*Sigh*... Much better. We'll be a family again! ~

She tried to give me a kiss, but I backed up to where she could not reach me. She didn't look mad and just blew me a kiss and waved at me.

Red-The others can come back soon, but I'm sure we can get some training in for you. ~

My body shivered a little before I looked around for a way out... No window or door in here. Just the bookshelves to other books, but those books were gone... I just got on my hands and knees to beg and Red looked a little surprised

(Y/N)-Please, Red... I'll do anything, just help me get home. *sniffle* Please.

Completely desperate, I crawled up to the bars and she cupped my face in her hands.

Red-We are going home. Mother will let us play, cuddle, and spend time together when she leaves me in charge of you. ~

(Y/N)-Your mother?

Red-*Giggles* Our mother. ~

She kissed my head and hugged me through the bars before she left the library to get the others. The whole time, I tried to get out of here, but it was hopeless... No books in my reach, no key, and no exit means no escape. I cried in a corner after completely giving up right now and even wished I was back with Ruby at the very least. When I heard the other girls come in, they called out to me, but I closed my eyes and faced the wall.

Goldilocks-(Y/N). ~

Gerda-Oh, Sweetie. ~

Alice-I got a treat from this world (Y/N). Some fresh strawberries. ~

I didn't even look at them and then the library shook which meant we were going to another world. I could only hope for nothing bad to happen, but no matter what, it was going to end badly if it was their plan. When the library stopped, I heard the gate unlock and open before I was picked up and held over a shoulder. I still didn't want to look at them, but I opened my eyes to look at Gerda and the others anyway.

Gerda-Awwwww, there's those cute little eyes. ~

Gerda kissed my face a couple of times before we walked up to a big mansion and the others opened he door. I don't know what this place was, but Alice pulled a cord next to the door a few times and we waited out here for a little while. When someone finally came out, I started to really panic when she walked up to us, but when she got close, my body froze and would not move... I was just so scared.

Beldam-*Gasp* There's my baby boy. Come to Mama. ~

She took me from Gerda and my body could only shiver with each kiss she gave me and then Red stepped up from the others.

Red-I'm the one that caught him, Mother! I did it all by myself!

Beldam-Good girl, Little Red... Awwww, your big brother is shaking like a leaf... You can play with him after he gets a good nap with me and I ask him a few questions. Ok? ~

Red looked happy while the others looked jealous.

Alice-What about us?!

Goldilocks-We tried really hard too!

Gerda-He needs a loving big sister too!

Beldam-Now, now girls. It's up to Little Red and me... *sniff* Smells like he also needs a bath before bed.

(Beldam's POV)

I could see the fear in (Y/N)'s eyes and feel his body tremble in my arms. I ignored it and felt really happy that I had everything I wanted and in the meantime, Mel was being used as a toy for everyone out back in the garden. Either for in the painting or out of it to use her however, they please. With my son here, I might just not let her back in the house for a while, or any house. I'm still mad after I found out I was supposed to die in my story before I changed it, so she can have a worse ending. When we made it to my room, I stripped us both down to have a nice shower and bath. I loved the way the bathroom looked from the way my servants made it the best they could. The shower and bath were in a smaller glass room and the water felt like heaven. The whole time, (Y/N) was completely paralyzed in fear, so he couldn't fight me.

Beldam-*Giggles*... I know you knew what was supposed to happen to me, but I'm not mad at you at all... No, no, no... I just have questions for you and from how precious and special you are... You just have to be mine. I learned so many things already, but nothing about you, and we're going to fix that. Aren't we? ~

(Y/N)-... I-... I d-d-don't... underst-and. *whimper*

Beldam-*Giggles*... Arms up. I want you nice and clean before our nap. ~

I may not have needed sleep anymore, but I bet it will still feel nice or I can make it feel better than it ever did before. I continued with the bath and when I dried us off, I wrote that pajamas would dress him for me before a rope would fly in and tie him up before floating over to the bed. He would also be in a perfect cuddling position for me. He struggled, so I tried to write him to calm down, but he only started to scream and cry until I just got in bed and turned him into me to bury him in my cleavage and pajamas. 

Beldam-We have so much to talk about when you wake up... I want to know everything about you and where you came from... Maybe, I'll just take over that place too, and just have this world be your little toybox. You like that? ~

He shook his head no to me and I laughed a little as I waited for him to tire himself out. It took hours for him to go to sleep, but I never got tired of watching him and holding him still... He was even cuter when he was sleeping.

Beldam's mind-So cute... Maybe you can play with Mel soon too. I'll give you anything you want to have you love being mine... 'Anything' I will like you to have. ~

Chapter Text

((Y/N)'s POV)

When I woke up from that nap, I tried to run away, but all that happened was a crowd of people tied me up and woke up the Beldam to give me back to her. I knew she was never treated like this in the movie and I have a strong feeling the book is almost no different. So why is everyone acting like this? Where's Coraline? Is this all just her other world and something changed from us coming here?... No, she only has so much power to make her world and the girls are even acting weirder now... What's going on here? The Beldam took me for a bath before we went to the kitchen for breakfast and the girls were sitting, but I had to sit on her lap wrapped tightly in a blanket.

Red-Mother, may I have him! Just for breakfast!

Beldam-No, you will have your time with him when I say. Mother is going to be very busy with him after breakfast.

I tried to get away, but she held me tightly and some chefs brought out pancakes, sausage, eggs, bacon, and orange juice. The only one who didn't eat was the Beldam and she just fed me. The more I tried to get away or turn away from her, the more annoyed she got until she had the girls come over to hold me still and even make me chew.

Beldam-Just so you know, the pen might not work on you, but I will still always win.

I knew she had my grandpa's pen and that's when everything clicked inside my head. No wonder everyone and everything is acting weird. That pen is changing everything... And the worst character to have it has it.

Breakfast went on like this until the Beldam left the girls to clean up and took me back to her room. She strapped me down to a chair and she sat on another chair in front of me.

Beldam-Alright now. Would you like to tell me where you are from?... Your sisters already told me how the library works to take you to other worlds. None of us can find where you are from though. Even the pen doesn't help.

She reached for a small box and pulled the pen out to show me and I just got a little mad... I need that pen.

She grabbed a little notebook and wrote it and then a tree slowly faded into the room and dropped a... cupcake into her hand to eat.

Beldam-Oddly, it doesn't work on the library or anything in it either. I know that you know something. Some kind of magic that even blocks out this maybe or does it cancel it out?

(Y/N)'s mind-It doesn't work on me or the library?... Maybe... Is it because I'm from the real world?

That makes sense, but it doesn't help me that much because I can barely get out of the house without the whole world turning me back over to her. She kept on talking and I could only think about how close I was to going home, but if she had that pen, I couldn't go anywhere... What if she took me to the library?

(Y/N)-I-I can show you my book! It's a secret book hidden in the library!

She stopped talking and looked back at me before she smiled while crossing her arms.

Beldam-A secret book?... Where is it?

(Y/N)-Just take me to the library. I can show you where it is.

Beldam-But if I don't go check for myself. How do I know you are not just lying to me... I will be taking you where you want to go... Just like Coraline tricked me into opening the door for her... Or at least she would've. Not making that mistake.

She was waiting for me to talk, so I felt nervous and gave her the title of a book I knew about.

(Y/N)-U-Um... The Wizard of Oz.

Beldam-I saw that one.

(Y/N)-Another one... I'm from the secret book of that... Hidden under a floorboard under the desk in the office.

Beldam-Hmmm... If you are lying, I will be back with a punishment for you... I think an hour of spanking should teach you if you are lying to me... You can still take it back.

(Y/N)-I'm not lying. Go check.

Beldam-*Chuckles* You sisters will be right outside the door... I'm taking the pen with me too.

She let me get unstrapped, but I was to stay in the room. I panicked because she was going to see that I was lying soon enough, but I was so close that I could see the library out the window. I just need to get out without anyone seeing me. The hallway and front door would get me caught for sure... I'm on the second story, but there are vines on the house...

(Y/N)-Ok... 3 stories high and you need to climb down some vines that are growing on the house that can snap... Just don't look down and feel for good footing... It's like rock climbing at the fair, but no safety stuff... This is crazy. *whisper*

I didn't have another choice, so I opened up the window and slowly crawled out to grab a vine... I accidentally looked down and cried to myself a little.

(Beldam's POV)

I humored (Y/N) and checked the 'hiding spot' in the little office in the library, but not before I walked by to see Mel currently being paraded and whipped by a crowd of people completely naked on a path of broken glass and razor blades until she fell over from the pain. The icing on the cake was that one of the people whipping her looked like a child younger than Coraline. She was them whipped as she slowly bleed out and was sucked back into the painting. 

A smile curved onto my face as I entered the library and went up to the library's office. I looked under the desk and saw... a string going in between two pieces of wood.

Beldam-Huh?

I reached for the string and pulled it up to find a book under the floorboard. There was even a warning stamped on top of it.

Beldam-My dream world. Written by (G/N) (L/N)... Do not open.

I knew if I opened the book in here it would take me to that world and I didn't want to deal with that just yet. I want (Y/N)'s world first to find out more, but I will hold on to this book in the meantime. I headed back to the house and grabbed Mel by her hair on the way while she was being held back and punched in the gut by everyone. She had her clothes on, so she should be lucky enough for that. When we got inside I tossed her to the ground in the living room and she was crying. I shoved the book into her and she looked at me with hate and fear.

Mel-*Cough* *cough* gag* Wh-What is this?

Beldam-Keep an eye on that book. Lose it, and you're back out there or in that painting.

I left her on the floor and headed back upstairs to see Gerda was standing by the door.

Gerda-Hello mother. (Y/N) has been really quiet since you left.

Beldam-Very good. I found a book and left it with Mel. Later, we'll send her to check out a new world and I will have a few people with her. If the book is as dangerous as it warns you then hopefully one can return to the library.

Even with my control over her, she seemed a tad bit uncomfortable with this. I ignored her and went inside, but failed to see (Y/N) in the room.

Beldam-(Y/N)?

I checked the bathroom and saw that it was empty too, but when I left, I noticed a window was open on the other side of the room.

Beldam-... (YYYYYYYYYY/NNNNNNNNN)!!!

((Y/N)'s POV)

I was making a run for it to the library after I heard that screaming and soon everyone was looking for me. I had to beat them to the library though or they will only find me. I thought about the pen, but if it can't work on me or the library then I say she can keep the stupid pen!

Woman-HEY, I FOUND HIM!!!

I turned to see a woman running for me, but I just kept on running and ducked under her. The library was so close and I saw a big glass water dunk tank out here for some reason, so I picked up a rock and turned around to throw it at the glass to let the water slow her down. A lot of other people were coming, but I beat them to the library and locked the doors. They were screaming and pounding on the door trying to get in. When that didn't work they broke the windows!

(Y/N)-AAHHH!!!

I ran for the box full of books and grabbed a random book to open it. I saw the lights and some people were hanging on for a few seconds until they flew off along with pieces of broken glass. I felt the library stop, so I looked for the Coraline book again... and then threw it in a drawer to keep it away from me.

(Y/N)-*Sigh*... Ok... Ok, ok, ok... Never going back there. 

I sat on a chair all alone in here. I got the library back and all to myself... Grandpa had to have done something to get out of here, so there has to be something to get me back... Like a go-home book or something.

(No POV)

(Y/N) started to search the library, but meanwhile back in the Coraline book the Beldam was furious and demanded to be alone. She wrote with the pen over and over again like writing it bigger would help, but it was no use... Everyone knew to stay away from her right now. As (Y/N) searched the office he found a part of the floor was opened under the desk like he made up, but there was nothing in it anymore... He kept on looking and hoping he didn't just give away his only ticket home. Little did he know that outside the library that mysterious appeared in empty part of the city, there was a festival going on... a food festival. A girl in a big kitchen was doing her makeup to get ready to go out and woo 'her man', and when she looked in a mirror.

Peninie-Here I come, Chowder. ~

Chapter Text

((Y/N)'s POV)

I tried to think of something because now I had the library all to myself again and this world was from the book "Chowder". I thought if these books weren't magic before they got in here, maybe I just need a pen to make it magic and use that for a better chance to go home. It makes sense and honestly... It's all I have for a plan right now besides plan Z... Going back into the Coraline book. In order for this plan to work... I have to leave the library and just look for a pen. Any pen. First, I gotta get myself ready and pumped up... Just run out the door right now, LET'S GO!!!

(Y/N)-RRRRUUUUAAAGGGGHHHHH!!! No, no, no.

I was almost outside, but I couldn't do it... I just wasn't ready.

(Y/N)'s mind-Come on! You wanna get home?! You need a pen! You let The Beldam get your first pen and you are not going back there! This is the easier way! You can do this!

(Y/N)-RRRRUUUUUAAAAAGGGHHHHH!!! No, no, no!

(Y/N)'s mind-... This is gonna take a while.

(Panini's POV)

I knew where to find my Num Nums or at least I thought I did, but he wasn't at any of the food stands. I was checking some of the shows right now, but no sign of him. I got on top of one of the stands and pulled out some binoculars. 

Panini's mind-I know you're out there... We could be spending time at the fair together!

(Chowder's POV)

I just got out of the candy store and they had really good deals today and the explosive fruity flavor is so powerful, that it actually explodes in your mouth a little. I walked down the street to find a game that looked fun to play and when I finally got to a booth to play a fishing game they gave me a fishing pull. After a bit of waiting, I pulled as hard as I could and got one that said, "WINNER".

Chowder-I WIN!!!

Just then I got hooked from behind and pulled up. I was now face to face with the most evil creature known to all of existence.

Panini-Hi Chowder. ~

Chowder-AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!! FISH HELP ME!!! I KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE NOW!!!

Fish-Too late little man... Too late.

I tried running, but Panini would always reel me back into her and make me hang in front of her. My body started shaking like a leaf.

Chowder-What do you want from me, woman?!

Panini-I just want a day at the fair together. ~

I bit the line and dropped to the ground before I ran away and jumped into a pickle barrel. There is no way she could've seen me come in here.

((Y/N)'s POV)

I finally got out of the library to go look for a pen and pens can be found all over the place. This should be the quick and easy part. I just went out in the street and tried to look natural, and not look at anyone. Just a normal walk in the fair, but then I saw another human boy that looked a little funny and he stopped in front of me.

Boy-Heeey!

(Y/N)-Um... What?

He glared at me for a moment and I started to get nervous. Then he suddenly smiled and held up a fly swatter.

Boy-I didn't see you around. If you're new to town, join my club and help me get elected as president, so I may-.

Just then a fly flew past us and he got mad.

Boy-HEY!!! GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE PEST!!! COME BACK!!!

He ran off and I forgot how weird this world was. I shook it off and had to find a pen. I checked a few booths and I found a cup full of pens and tried to take one, but then a huge bird stopped!

Bird-Hey! Those are for paying customers only! I'm running a business here!

I looked up at the name of this stand and it said, "Draw your own face". I have no idea who would do this, but I don't even have any money.

(Y/N)-... Can I just borrow a pen?

Bird-PAYING CUSTOMMMMMMEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

I just backed away from them before I ran away into the ground, but then bumped into someone. We both fell to the ground and I rubbed my head.

???-Ow!

(Y/N)-S-Sorry.

I looked to see who it was and it was a character I knew this time... Panini.

She looked at me and I know how this works, so I backed away from her. She only looked confused when she got up.

Panini-What are you scared of?

I just got up and ran away from her and I looked back to see her roll her eyes and kept on walking this way. She didn't have a reason to chase me and thank everything in the universe that she didn't have one. I kept on trying to look for free pens at stands and inside buildings, but so far nobody was giving them away. In my world, I hated when random things gave you free pins, but now I would do anything for those.

(Y/N)-WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO GET A PEN?!?!?!

I think I just said that out loud because a lot of people went quiet and looked at me. I smiled nervously before I felt someone poke my shoulder. If I know my luck...

(Y/N)'s mind-Please don't be Panini, please don't be don't Panini!

(Panini's POV)

He spazzes out like Chowder and runs away a little worse than Chowder, but him not being him is actually a little weird. Now he was drawing a crowd and was in a very awkward situation... All for a pen. He just slowly turned around and jumped at the sight of me.

Panini-Are you ok?

He looked at me like he saw a ghost and this is fun to do with Chowder, but embarrassing to watch with whoever this kid is. I did him a favor by pulling him away from this crowd and somewhere more private, but then he tried to rip his hand away from me. Luckily, I had tons of practice with keeping my grip... Chowder just always manages to slip away. I finally let him go and he still just looked wary of me.

Panini-... Do I... know you from somewhere?

He just shook his head no.

Panini-Then why are you afraid of me?

???-Nothing.

Panini-Nothing... Or something.

???-... No.

He backed away from me and I just rolled my eyes and I should just leave him and he'll be fine... Physically, but I have morals... He just better not test them.

Panini-Where do you live?

???-Ummm... Nowhere.

And now he was testing my morals because he was a horrible liar. I think I'll test him now if he wants to play hardball.

Panini-Nowhere?... Then we can go to my place to have my mentor help you.

???-...

He suddenly started running and I just watched him run until he made it back to the crowd, but went into a street where a snail car...

*Thud*

Crowd-*Gasp*!

Panini-*Gasp*!

(Timeskip)

I took him back to my home/kitchen where I live after he got hit because I scarred him off. The guilt was eating away at me and it was so much to bear! I called the Spa Ms. Endive went to today and got her on the phone and told her what happened. Apparently, the hospital was full from what happened last week and they just treated him at a tent... So I brought him here when he needed rest. I heard the annoyance in her voice and she was on her way home.

Panini's mind-Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god! What else do I do?! Do I go to therapy now?! What am I supposed to say at therapy?!

I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard the door open downstairs, so I left my room and met up with Ms. Endive in the kitchen.

Panini-Hehehe... How was your spa day Ms. Endive?

Endive-Panini, don't change the subject. You said you brought a boy here that got in an accident.

Panini-Y-Yes.

Endive-And why do you look guilty about it?

Panini-I was minding my own business!... At first... Sort of.

Endive-You were chasing the purple one again, weren't you?

Panini-... A little.

Endive-*Sigh* Explain.

(Endive's POV)

She told me the story from when she left to chase down that boy she had a crush on before she told me how she met with this boy. Apparently, he was afraid of her at first sight and later yelled at the top of his lungs about a pen. When I had her take me to where the boy was, she took me to her room and he was lying on a makeshift bed on the floor that looked fairly comfy.

Endive-You said he had nowhere to go?

Panini-I'm sure he was lying. I just said I would bring him here to catch his lie and let me take him home. I didn't really plan on bringing him here!

Endive-Oh, Panini.

Panini-I never met him before or did anything to him! The only boys I remember beating up were Ceviche and Gorgonzola!

Endive-Then he might just have his own set of issues if what you are telling me is true. I will hear his side when he wakes up.

Panini-What should we do until then, ma'am?

Endive-Seeing as I ended a spa day early, I will be soaking in a bath for a while. Keep an eye on him.

I left her alone with that boy and decided to make a nice tray of snacks to go with my bath. Maybe even some leftovers for the boy when he wakes up. I will decide if my apprentice is to be punished or not when that boy explains his side of the story.

(Panini's POV)

I paced back and forth in my room, worried he might lie if he hated me so much for some reason. Or what if he forgets everything because he hit his head really hard? When I looked back to the bed I made for him on my floor, I felt so bad because I scared him into running into the street. I can't stress that enough and it's already so hard!... I slowed down and took a breath before I looked in the mirror.

Panini-It's not your fault, it's not your fault.

I took another look at him and I thought he was going to freak out when he woke up in my room... Everyone likes food, so I can make him something from what I know how to do. I went down to the kitchen after looking my door from the outside and looked through some recipes.

Panini-Meviled Eggs?... No... Sparkle Spackle Pudding?... Let's do that for a small dessert... I need Ms. Endive for most of these... Maybe I can just cook some thin meat and make a sandwich... I can even toast some bread with it.

(No POV)

Panini got started on cooking alone while making an effort to clean up as she went as Endive got into her giant tub to relax. (Y/N) is still out cold, but for a moment he gripped the blankets he was sleeping on, but that was it. Both of the girls thought about (Y/N) for their own reasons.

Panini's mind-Please be okay. You didn't to get hurt... Why couldn't this be Gorgonzola?!

Endive's mind-I saw children and men like you before for the most part, but have a bit of a different build... You must be from out of state or something... I wonder.

Chapter Text

((Y/N)'s POV)

I felt something wet on my head and it also felt soft while it was rubbing me. I tried to open my eyes, but then a water drop got in my eye that felt annoying, so I closed my eyes again. I brought my hand to my eyes to wipe it away and I heard a gasp. Everything felt and sounded fuzzy for a while longer and my head hurt. When I could think more straight, I noticed the smell of something and it smelled good. It was cold, sweet, and... very close to me. It was pressed against my lips and when I opened my mouth it was pudding with something a little crunchy in it. When I finally opened my eyes I saw Panini helping me eat pudding before she held a sandwich up to me to take.

Panini-Hungry?

I got out of the bed she made for me in this room and crawled backward away from her. She got up to her feet after she put the sandwich down on a plate and then held her hands up.

Panini-Wait, calm down!... Last time you ran you got hit by a car!

I didn't trust her, but I tried to remember what happened... It came back to me quickly, but so did everything else. I ran for her door, but it was locked and I didn't see a key anywhere, so she might have it. I tried to look for another way out, but then she started to come closer and it made me back up against the door as much as I could.

Panini-I'm not going to hurt you! I brought you here when the hospital was full! You're still covered in bandages!

I looked to see the bandages and when I looked they started to hurt... My legs hurt a lot now from standing and I fell down... The pain was so bad from hitting the ground.

(Y/N)-AAAHHHHH!!!

She pulled me back to the bed and let me lay on top of it. I tried to get up, but my arm hurt so much and she just sat on her bed while looking down at me.

Panini-Doctor said that you were lucky to not have any broken bones, but you do have a lot of bruises and he took care of the eternal bleeding.

I tried to wiggle away like a worm or caterpillar and she just glared at me.

Panini-Are you seriously still trying to run?

(Y/N)-...

(Panini's POV)

He shifted a little faster and I don't know if he thought he was moving or not, but all he was doing was shifting the blankets. First, it was annoying... Now, it just looks a little funny... Awwww, he's like another Chowder. I wonder if this is just something I'm into... One step at a time. I heard his stomach growl, so I grabbed his sandwich and held it up to him. We didn't share any words, but he just froze and looked at me.

Panini-Can I at least get your name? My name is Panini.

???-... (Y/N).

Panini-Ok (Y/N), I would ask if you had a place to go, but with no family or anyone coming up for you back at the fair, I'm assuming you're alone.

(Y/N)-N-No. I-I have a family.

Panini-Then you can tell me where you live and we can get you home.

I could see how nervous and taken off guard by that simple question.

(Y/N)-Um... I live down the street, to the next city.

Panini-Uh-huh.

I remember Chowder telling me that same lie before he said he was dead while pretending to be someone else.

(Y/N)-... B-By a bakery with a flower on the sign.

Panini-What was it called? There's a lot like that.

(Y/N)-...

Panini-Is called "Sweet Liars"?

He looked stumped and then he nervously took a bite of the sandwich I made for him since he could not move his arms that much still. When he finished there was a knock at my door before it was unlocked again and opened. Ms. Endive came in and I could see (Y/N) shaking.

Panini's mind-Why are you so afraid of us?

(Endive's POV)

I came to check on my apprentice and guest/patient here and saw that he was awake now. He looked like a quivering mess and no doubt in pain from whatever medicine he was given before wearing off. Thankfully for him, I prepared a dish that will help ease it... By making him completely numb, but it's better than suffering.

Panini-What is that Ms. Endive?

Endive-Before I get into that. Did you find out anything about him that we can use to get him home?

Panini-Um... He told me his name is (Y/N)... I don't think he has a place to stay if nobody went around town looking for him.

Either his parents or whoever are twits or he really doesn't have another place to go. This was just a fine predicament to be in, but I guess it could be worse. I knelt down to him and got a little spoonful for him to eat.

Endive-Usually this would not taste very good. 'Unless' prepared properly by a real chef. Such as myself.

(Y/N)-Wh-What is tha-?

I slipped it into his mouth and he gulped it down. I gave him a few more bites before I stopped. He can't have too much at his age.

Endive-You'll be numb soon, but you won't be feeling any pain. If by luck, you might still be able to talk while you heal. In the meantime... I could smell you from the door. All that dirt and strong medicine on you will not do.

Panini-I can get an air freshener.

Endive-We don't need an air freshener. He needs a bath.

Panini-But he'll be numb soon and he can still barely move.

Endive-Yes.

(Timeskip 30 Minutes)

 (Y/N)-St-Stop!

I put (Y/N) in my tub a few times, but he couldn't sit up, so I had to put a bathing suit on before I got in with him. I kept him in one arm to clean him and while cleaning him, he looked so fragile... Given he also had fear in his eyes and if he was not numbed out, he would still be shaking.

Endive-Honestly, what made you afraid of girls?

He kept on whining during the bath and this was getting mildly annoying. When we were done with the bath, I just wrapped him in the towel since his clothes were being watched. His bruises and bumps were going down a little bit already. He just needs more rest... I put him under a blanket while I got dried off and changed before I picked him back up and took him with me to the living room. Panini was on the couch waiting for us and she got her big adoring eyes fixed on (Y/N) when she saw how I was holding him.

Panini-*Gasp*!

Endive-Panini, make sure he's taken care of while I go tend to prepping for dinner. He can't move still, so that should not be a problem.

I lied him down next to her and the way he was looking up at me like a scared puppy... I have a taste in strong and... a certain man of stone. It's just cute and cuddly really seems to suit him and has an allure to him. My body acted on its own to stroke his head with my finger a little before I left.

(Panini's POV)

I can't believe how cute (Y/N) looks like this. His scared face looks like Chowder's face when he runs away to play hard to get... I guess I do like the chase. I just crawled over to him and put his head on my lap.

(Y/N)-P-Put me back!

Panini-You can still talk?

(Y/N)-Yes!

Panini-But you can't move?

(Y/N)-... I-I can move.

Panini-Oh... Then just start wiggling around when you want me to stop this. ~

I wrapped an arm around his head and started to pet him. He just made whining sounds and tried begging since he could not move at all.

Panini-Awwwww, you like it. That's so cute. ~

(Y/N)-No!

Panini-Then wiggle. Or maybe you just don't feel like it? ~

(Y/N)-I-I lied! I can't move, j-just stop!

Panini-No take backs. ~

I continued to pet him and this made me feel how I feel about Chowder and he can't even move right now... Wait, that means I can do something I never could with Chowder without him fighting me.

Panini-*Giggles*. ~

He looked at me confused before I pulled out the lipstick I always carry with me for emergencies. They tasted like my favorite berries when I kissed my own lips and the fear on his face grew as he blushed super hard for me.

Panini-Pucker up... Num Nums. ~

(Timeskip 3 Hours)

((Y/N)'s POV)

Endive just looked at me being covered in lipstick from Panini's many kisses on my face. I still could not move, so Endive said she had to feed me. I just stopped talking when she started to smile at me after I asked her to let me go. I looked at the night sky in the ceiling until she held me in front of her face. She looked a little mad.

Endive-Are you listening to me?!

(Y/N)-... Ummmm yes.

Endive-Don't you lie to me! 

I wasn't that deep in my thoughts... At least I don't think so. She got up with me and walked down the hall with me and Panini walked by her until she got behind her.

Panini-Ma'am, can I hold him back here?

Endive-... Make sure he stays on until we get to my room.

She passed me behind her to Panini and... We were on her huge butt and Panini put my head on her lap. She even held her lipstick in her hand.

Panini-Hi Num Nums. You're so cute... You know, these lipstick marks mark you as my boyfriend. ~

(Y/N)-I-I'm not your boyfriend!

Panini-*Giggles* Just like him... And now you're mine. ~

I heard a door open and we were in Endive's room. Panini jumped with me on her bed and then Endive finally took me out of this towel to dress me up in front of Panini while she was looking in a small mirror to add me lipstick. 

Endive-Seeing as there were no cops asking questions around to look for you, I think nobody is looking for you... You can just stay here.

I wanted to scream, but nobody was going to hear it or help me... I just wanted a pen and go back to the library. I wasn't supposed to be stuck here!

(Timeskip 1 Hour)

(Endive's POV)

I was wiping away the last of the lipstick from Panini enjoying our new company here, but tonight he was going to be cuddling with me. I even gave him more of the dish to numb for two reasons. He still looked like he needed a bit more healing and it kept him from from running and letting me play with him. Even now he was blushing adorably while being nuzzled into my body and I pushed him up to my chest area. It was late and he could barely sleep, but I wasn't tired either. I even came up with some fun ideas, so I sat up with him.

Endive-You know, I always pictured myself with a strong man to have an adorable family with... Sadly, that spot for a son is not for you. ~

(Y/N)-Wh-... What are you going to do to me?

Endive-Oh relax. I don't know what made you so afraid of course and quite frankly, I don't really care. I got a better idea for you. ~

He looked scared and I took him to my wardrobe where I even kept some fabrics and supplies for knitting as a small hobby away from cooking.

Endive-What's small, adorable, and unable to move or care for themselves?... A toy. ~

He blushed super hard when I took his clothes off to do measurements on him. At least I think I'm getting the measurements right... I guess you learn through trial and error with these things at times. He was pleading with me with his cute little (E/C) eyes to stop, but I was not going to hurt him... I was going to dress him in little outfits. There's a butler outfit, a little explorer, a kitty cat, a dog, and a little onesie with my kitchen's name on it.

Endive's mind-So many ideas. So much time.

Endive-Hmmmmm... I'm thinking of making you little booties for your tiny hands and feet. I can even make them look like squishy paws. ~... I believe I do have a book for knitting something like that somewhere.

(Y/N)-*Gulp*.

(Beldam's POV)

They all failed me... All of them. I only had my new daughters who were on very thin ice with me, but as for everyone else, I put them in paintings of their own and put those paintings in another painting where they will suffer forever. I made the world an empty void except for my house and I stared off into it from the window in my room.

*Knocking*

Beldam-Come in.

My door opened and I saw Mel come in with the book.

She was free from my control, but she was so afraid of me and found everything so hopeless that she wouldn't dare defy me. Even now, she was quivering in front of me like a scared little girl and when I erased this world I even saw her pee her pants in fear earlier.

Beldam-Why are you here? Any new leads?

Mel-N-N-No.

Beldam-Then you have wasted my time.

Mel-But-.

I raised my hand in silence as I turned to her. She was shaking more and more with each step taken towards her. When I gently put my hand on her cheeks, tears silently poured down from her face as she closed her eyes and only let her lips quiver.

Beldam-I've given all of you here food,... I didn't put you in a painting again,... the house functions like normal, and... I'm sorry. What was your reason for coming here?

Mel-*Whimper* I-I-.

*SMACK*

*Thud*

She fell to the ground and stayed silent and I put the bottom of my shoe in her mouth to stop her annoying cries.

Beldam-My daughters are truly heartbroken over the loss of my son too! But unlike you, they are doing something about it! What are you doing if you are not tending to us?!

She couldn't look at me anymore and I would love to kill her for good, but she's the best vent I have. I just got off of her and gave her a look that told her to stay there while I got the painting off the wall and picked out a random painting. It was a crying little girl with a spike going through her stomach and I placed it in front of her. She looked horrified.

Beldam-Tell me what this is.

Mel-*Sniffle* *hic* *hic*.

Beldam-NOW!!!

Mel-I-It's a girl! It's a girl... I-In the painting.

Beldam-And do you know why you are not in there right now?

She let more tears hit the ground before shaking her head no at me, so I slammed the painting down which made the girl scream louder from the harsh movements and I gripped Mel by her ear.

Beldam-It is because you only have 2 purposes now. You will clean whenever we are not telling you to do something... And now, I'm telling you to take a brush and add more spikes to that painting.

Her eyes shrank in horror at what I told her to do. I knew she would not do it, but this is the process of breaking her. When she says no to me, I plan to make an example of her in a nice long family meeting in front of my daughters. Goldilocks has been especially testy lately with her mood swings that practically give her whiplash. When I dropped a brush in front of her...

Mel-*Hyperventaling* AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!
