@anzai48 :Actually, I'm a big fan of Tim Burton myself, and like very much the work of Helena and Johnny, too. So don't be surprise is some parts of this fics resemble to their work.
@Megumi &
@sakura_drop_ : Patience is a virtue. You'll discovered that soon~!
Thank you all for the support. Please, if you have any contructive criticism or particular comment, feel free to say it!
Also,I want to make something clear,just in case. Sorry if you were/are hoping for some loooooveee~ here, but I don't think it will appear soon
xD The main porpuse of this fic is to be about fantasy, misterie, maybe some angst and funny moments, but who knows, maybe there would be some flirting too.
I was thinking about writing some paralel stories too, like what is the Wonka Couple doing when Atsuko is searching for the clocks, what do you think about that?
Enough with the talking, here's the new chapter.
Chapter 4
Things start to get bad-Hmm...- Atsuko groaned slightly, trying to remember where she was and what was she doing.
-Oi, Paru,look. The girl is waking up - she could hear a cute and childish voice. She felt it like it was really near, just above her.
-Shh, Sakura-chan. Remember what Rena-sama said. She can't know who we are...
-But she could be hearing us now...
-That's why I'm telling you to keep quite. We were told to watch her, but not to talk to her...
-I know that, I was there when Rena-sama talked to us for the first time in...what? Twentie years?
"Okay...this is getting weird again..." Atsuko thought to helself while pretending to be asleep. When she heard that those girls were there to keep an eye on her, she decided it was wiser to fake than to introduce to them. " What I am gonna do now?" she tried to move very very slowly, but felt that her hands where tied. "Shot... I'm really in problems... These girls must be the ones that Yuko girl was talking about when she said there were bad people in here...Although they don't sound dangerous at all..." she sighed internally and continued hearing.
-What are we gonna do when she wakes up? -the one that seems older whispered.
-Sashi-sama said to bring her to her room first. She wanted to see the girl before taking her to Rena-sama...
-But if she finds out that we disobeyed her and instead do what Sashi-sama says she will get really mad...I don't want to make Rena-sama mad... - The one called Sakura gulped, her voice shivering from fear.
-Yeah...I understand how you feel... But Sashi is our senior too... We can't do as we pleased... Let's wait...
- You don't have to wait. I'm already awake you know? - Atsuko was looking at them with determination and a little scowl.
-W-w-w-waaah! Paru! What do we do!? - Sakura shake the other girl, pannicking.
-S-sakura! Please! S-s-s-stooppp... - her companion stopped abruptly and bowed, apologizing. Paru arrenged her clothes and her strange hat.
-You look like... - Atsuko started saying was looking at their outfit.
-Yes. We are dolls. Well, we were humans, but then the cursed came and we turned into this rare mix between Mad Hatter and procelain dolls and...
-Sakura! Stop! - Paru comanded
-Sorry... -the younger girl mumbled, obviously embarrased.
Atsuko just watched at the two quietly. "Great... This is my lucky day. First perverted ballerinas... Now some psychotic dolls who work for another creepy and unknown person...Thsi is just great...What will come next? Pinnochio dress up as Jack Skellington?
(from the movie The Nightmare Before Christmas)" she rolled her eyes and kept watching the nonsense that dolls were exchanging.
-I hate it when you start mumbling like that...
-You do it to Paru!
-I don't do it as oftenly as you!
They started shouting until a base came fliying from a door Atsuko didn't notice until them, and almost get the girls.
-You two! Stop it! I heard another voice there. Bring her to me before Rena wakes up! - it was another female voice coming from said door. The voice sounded pissed, but girly, like a young lady... Though Atsuko related it more to a dog's bark?
"Oh no...I'm dead..." She though. She tried to struggle against the dolls, but it was in vain. Sooner that she expected, she was in front of another girl. The person was sitting with her back facing Atsuko, so she couln't see her face clearly, although a dim light made it difficult to see anything at all.
-Bring her here, so that I can see her face, you stupid girls... - the voice commanded.
The dolls nodded, as if the other one could see them, and forced Atsuko to walk to the front of the one called "Sashi".
-Hmm...Not bad... Although I'd have prefer a loli to save me... - she sighed, like if all of that was a boring thing. - I don't know why Rena was so interested in you, even to the point talk to us... I can't see anything special in you... Boring face... Boring hair... Hiper mega boring clothes...- she eyed Atsuko from head to toe, her school uniform,her straight black hair, every detail about her.
-Hey! I'm here you know?- Atsuko could feel the heat of anger creep to her cheeks, pouting.
- Whatever... - Sashi got up and walked a few steps, but couldn't move a lot far from her chair. That was when Atsuko noticed the threads which were hanging from some place on the ceiling.
"I was being sarcastic when I thought about the Pinnochio thing, you know Kami-sama?" She was surprise. The girl looked like the other dolls, but has those wires that didn't allow her to move freely. Now it made sense to her, why this girl seemed so annoyed and bored. She couldn't really move like other cursed ones, like her herself. She would be in the same animic state.
-I am Maeda Atsuko - she didn't know why, but she felt the urge to introduced helself.- May I know your name, please?
Sashi turned around abruptly, with a surprised expression on her face. Then, the suspicion took its place. - Why do you want to know that?
-I...I don't know... I just felt like it - she shrugged. She held the gaze that Sashi was giving to her, but then, suddenly, it softened.
-I am Sashihara Rino. People used to call me Sashi, less letters and easier to remember. You two. -the older one pointed to the dolls. - Don't be rude. Introduce yourselves.
Paru, the one who seem older and more confident of the two, took a step to the front and made a peace sign.- I am Shimazaki Haruka, but you can call me Paru! Nice to meet you, Maeda-san, and sorry for tiding you. -she made a cute smile.
-And I am Miyawaki Sakura, but you can call me Sakura. It's a pleasure, Maeda-san! - the little one bowed.
Sashi then ordered them to untied Atsuko and the three of them started to seem more pacific and friendly towards her. It was now or never.
-Ano...Excuse me Sashi-san, I don't want to be rude, but I'm in a kind of hurry. Maybe you could help me a little?
Sashi looked at Maeda expenting the question, arching an eyebrow.
-Well, you see. I'm looking for this clocks, you know? And...- she looked to her feets, playing with her shoes in a adorable and childish way,hoping to trick the girls until a loud sound that came from another room was heard.
-Oh no... - Sashi murmured, looking to a big black wooden door.- She has awake...
Atsuko could see Sakura and Paru gulping and holding toeach other, like they were afraid of something.
-Quickly, Maeda-san. Rena has awakened. You are in danger if she isn't in a good mood.- Paru and Sakura quickly tied her again.
-Sorry, but it's better if she founds you like this, like she's ordered.
Our protagonist didn't understan a thing. Everything happened really fast. First, she was starting to get alog with these girls, now, she was walking through a dark corridor,with the dolls with their heads down in front of her, and loud noises coming from the door that was at the end.
"Oh,Kami-sama, please help me..." She though before entering to a cold and gloomy room.
