The Rattlesnake... Again

A weird feeling squeezed Vanessa's gut as she walked through the forest. There was a nasty stench that was likely to be the cause of this illness. But it didn't ruin her day. The trail she was on got wider. It must've been a main path or something. Trail marks became easily visible. Maybe it was a trade route. Who cared? It had nothing much to do with the story.

Though it made Vanessa curious. While this cosplay party deviated from the original Alice In Wonderland Story, it maintained the same elements and chapters. Leaned against a tree, she brainstormed her next objectives. There was the caterpillar and then there was the castle. The trail likely led to the castle. But where on Earth was the caterpillar?

The trail grew as she continued walking. It wasn't the only thing growing. Leaves fell, resembling tumbling skyscrapers. Luckily not on the trail. But still, Vanessa was not about getting crushed by leaves on her day off.
