FYI: This is from a dream I wrote down a few days ago, so not all of the events will/might make sense.
Fenixia Nytburn was standing in some grass near a little gray road. She and her friend, Beta, were waiting for a bus.
"How long is this bus going to take?" Asked Fenixia.
"Not too much longer. The bus comes around 13:00." Beta checked her watch. Fenixia checked her phone and sighed.
"It's 13:04. The bus must be late. Why don't we get on a different bus?"
"Not necessarily. Plus, you'd like the bus. It's all gothic and stuff inside. Also, it's the last bus on schedule for 13:00, sooo…." Just then, Fenixia heard music coming from a distance. Looking around, however, she saw nothing.
"The bus is here!" And so it was. Right in front of them a little yellow bus screeched to a sudden halt. Beta dragged Fenixia inside, where everything changed. Instead of the usual seats of a bus, there were pale green and purple cushions arranged in half-circles. The floor was pale lavender and the walls were adorned with many different photos of gothic girls in crowns and fishnets. Fenixia was staring at the photos.
"My daughters. Aren't they gorgeous?" A feminine voice said from behind her. Fenixia turned around and saw a pretty woman in all black standing behind them. Fenixia nodded.
"Why don't you two take a seat over there?" She pointed towards the pale green cushions in the back corner. They walked over to the cushions and sat down, Fenixia by the two walls where there was a gap large enough to slip through. Being mindful of this, she tried to adjust herself so that she wouldn't fall through by accident. Beta layed down, her head by Fenixia's lap. She grinned.
"We're about to go," she said. And then there was a lurch that sent Fenixia towards the gap. She grabbed the top of the seat and pulled herself back up, but it was hard as she was getting pushed near it. Struggling multiple times, she tried not to think about it and instead took in her surroundings a bit more. She was looking at the photos again when she saw a sign depicting some sort of menu. On it read "Rat Food".
Fenixia was so surprised at it she slipped and fell through the gap. Screaming, she fell through light gray nothingness as the bus zoomed away from her. The bus came back and Fenixia grabbed where the gap was and pulled herself through it. Back in the bus, the woman was taking food orders.
"Your friend is gone. Oh, wait, she's back." She brandished a small dark pink candy that looked like a cough drop. "Do you want one? They are blood candies. Made with real blood." Fenixia shook her head, looking disgusted. The woman mistook her disgust for curiosity and explained how they were made.
"Of course, the blood used is from live raccoons as it's fresher, although we have other kinds too. Want one?" Fenixia knew the woman was trying to be nice.
"Well, I need to start trying new things anyways, soo…" and she took the candy.
