as they danced through the night, the cheshire cat grinned. she spun him around and made his world a whirlwind. her eyes glazed over but her mouth a wide smile, she asked the gem if he wanted to stay for a while. the gem so surprised, he nodded with eager, “will you show me where she is? will you let me finally meet her?” the cheshire cat grinned and nodded to his question, but little did he know this was all a misimpression.
as they continued to dance and walk through the woods, he begun to feel this cat was up to no good. confused but trusting her, for she knew where his friend lie, he continued to walk through the forest and sway to the magpies. the cat stopped in her tracks and pointed ahead, and the boy hesitantly walked as he felt a wave of dread. as he ed past the final tree, he couldn’t help but stare. for after all that, there was nothing there.
for a cheshire cat cannot be trusted, and he learned this lesson now. as he felt his gem get hit as he fell to the ground. he was frozen and paralysed and wanted to scream, but all he could do was stare at a vision full of green. he had spent days searching, searching for his friend. but now it seemed that quest was at it’s very end. this cat wanted one thing and that was to steal his things, but he was surprised to feel as she began to pluck at his wings.
“angel feathers,” she hummed, “are great for potions.” and he yelled in his head at this terrible notion. she had hit him where it hurt, and now had taken some of his things, but this whole time he hadn’t noticed the way she stared at his wings.
i should have known, he thought as the cheshire cat faded away.
i should have known after all this time, that no one would ever be willing to stay.

wow!! that was honestly very new, i’ve always wanted to do something like that. it was literally just writing a poem but at the same time writing it like a normal story, and i loved it. i’m so sorry if this seemed random but honestly,, it IS random i don’t know where this came from. this idea of a “cheshire cat” betraying a gem came at random just from me having the line “as they danced through the night, the cheshire cat grinned” pop into my head and i ended up making two complete characters from it.
i’ve always wanted a gem that lurks in the woods ready to steal from innocent and lost souls, as i’ve also been planning for guardians to exist in there that help lost gems, and so this is basically that! also, the gem isn’t an actual cheshire cat- it’s just something written for the gem to be anonymous while i work on them, along with the boy mentioned in the story with wings! they’ll hopefully be introduced soon, but the next posts will most likely be my attacks for art fight.
also, that ending line has meaning for angel boy. let’s just say this isn’t the first time he’s been misguided and hurt
