She couldn't see anything.

Even with her eyes open wider than the Grand Canyon, Aika Saito couldn't see a bloody thing. Just infinite black. When it registered to her eyes that they weren't seeing anything besides absolute black, she tried to sit up straight. To find that she was strapped down! This was where the fear officially began setting in. All she knew was that she was on this table, strapped down and unable to see anything. Needless to say, for a fearful girl like Aika, it was quite the frightening experience. Last thing she remembered, she was walking home from school one evening, then suddenly, blackness. Fast-forward to now...whenever "now" was, and she found herself here, strapped down and blinded. And hearing a sound. Something above her. Sounded like breathing. If this wasn't a scenario she'd seen her father write a few times before...

Of course, experiencing anything from one of her father's books was bound to spook the girl. Her plan was to cry out for help...to find that her mouth, too, was held in place by these merciless cables. Now she was [i]really[/i] freaking out, squirming and struggling in her bindings in an attempt to get free from the seeing nothing, the being strapped down, and whatever the hell was above her, breathing. This was [i]not[/i] one of the ways she wanted to die!

[i]“….zz…z…wel…..Well, there we go! See, that didn’t take too long, did it? Ah, hello there everyone! Welcome to Greeneburg! Maybe you’ve heard of the place? Anyway, I’m the boss of this fine establishment. I, hope everyone’s had a good nap, yes? Now, you all may be wondering the same thing. Or, at least, that's what you’re supposed to do…why, oh why did big bad Jabberwocky kidnap me like such a cruel person? Well for one thing, I’m actually a pretty cool guy. Don’t you hear them? The people love me! So why are you all here? Well…hmmm….I could tell you that this is all fake and these are just really, really, really good actors…but that’s false advertising and I have a honest image to keep. No, I think it’s best you not know. Don’t wanna cook your brains too much on day one. Oh! That reminds me: you’ve been a very naughty boy Mister Hatter. Bad dog, turning off the power like that. Guess it was smart of me to have just enough juice for the intercom, right? Hey, Chi-chan? I know you can hear me, so please be sure to keep one of them alive. Pretty please? Well, I better sit back and wait for you all then! Because, surely, you all hate me for putting you all in this, right? Right? So why, you ask, am I even bothering you all in the first place? It’s actually, um….how do I put this….basically, you’re all fucked to begin with. Yeah, sounds about right…well, bye bye for now!”[/i]

[i]KEEP ONE OF THEM ALIVE!? FUCKED TO BEGIN WITH!?[/i] Now Aika was legitimately screaming under her cable bindings. Of course, she was muffled; nobody would have been able to hear her anyway. Struggling and screaming like a fly may have whilst trapped in an approaching spider's web. What was above her? Who was Chi-chan? How were they planning to kill Aika? Her mind was going a mile per second in bringing wild delusions on the twisted things that this Jabberwocky person could have been planning to do to her. And who was Mister Hatter? There was no power here? That could have accounted for Aika's inability to see anything. But at present, her biggest concerns were threefold.

How to escape these bindings?

What was above her?

When would it be her turn to be killed?
