The first thing I saw were the people. There were pale people, all of them were pale really, some with white rabbit ears or red fox tails, parts you wouldn't see on a normal human. But these people weren't mere humans. Their faces had sharp edges, and each of them had much different features from anyone else. They almost looked like mannequins, wearing top hats. The males looked so feminine, as to describe them in English terms, that you could just barely see the difference between them and the females. Lots of them looked like they were half animal, but most looked like a porcelain frame of a human.
Another thing was the way they were dressed. It seemed as if everything was divided into two colors.
White or red.
There was platinum blonde hair and red hair, white ballgowns or red ballgowns. Each had different intricate detailing, and their own charm, however.
And then there was me. Pale skin, red and black dress, blonde hair and white laced heels.
"Why hello there miss!" A voice sounded from behind me. I spun around rapidly and looked the way of the voice. The woman had ram like horns with red flowers dotting them. "Are you new, or just stupid?" She seethed.
I couldn't say anything. I never said anything.
"So ye don't talk eh?" She raised an eyebrow.
"New?" I nodded, unknowing of what this place was. I might as well be new.
"Ah. I see. What's your name?"
"A..li...ce..." I dragged out the word with my cracked voice.
"Alice... You.. Alice!?" She seemed shocked.
"You really DO look like Alice.. By Esma!"
"I.." I let out a small noise.
"Huh?" My voice was hoarse but from the sound of it she didn't really mind I suppose.
"Oh I've gotta bring you to the Queen of Hearts she will be thrilledWho?
"Ooohhhh come with me!" The ram woman dragged me behind her. Oh yay.
We ended up at a large and elegant castle, red bricks with a mote of red water around it. The walls were trimmed with giant streams of lace and there wasn't a white thing in sight.Nothing.
"Miss Red, we have a guest." She cooed. Kiss up much?
"Hmm.." A voice sounded as the woman walked out.
Now, I know I'm crazy clinically but this, this had to be a dream. This was so out of the ordinary. The woman as chubby, well, a little more than chubby, and she had an abnormally large head. Her dress was a ballgown plastered in cards and rhinestones (or real stones), but instead of white backing the cards had red backing. The hearts and the "red ones" we're black instead. She had fire red hair with a golden crown topping her head. Her features were rounded, she was sort of pretty.
Everyone here was really.
"Well well who do we have here? Come here to be beheaded? Because I don't aid in suicides." She spoke.
The hell?
I shook my head.
"Then, welcome. What's your name?"
I slowly opened my mouth. I honestly wasn't used to talking at all and it scared me to do so.
"Mama I wanna play with my dollies with you" I smiled. This was so fun.
"Hun, I'm leaving to go get groceries." She she smiled. "I'll be back.." She promised. "Can I go!?" Hyper me jumped up and down.
"No I'm gonna be in and out of there" she smiled. There was a suitcase outside the door.
"Mama what's that suitcase for?"
"Nothing hunny I just bought it for traveling." She smiled, walking out the door.And she never came back.
That shattered me. She just dropped and left without a thought for me or my brother.
My brother hung himself not to far after and my father began to drink more and more. I was all alone.
That's about he time the delusions came on, the attacks per say. That's when they started. When I was alone. They never stopped and I learned to deal with them.
I missed my brother so much. And my mother. And my father.
But then, I did decide to speak. I got up the courage and cleared my throat, arching not my shoulders back.
"I'm Alice."-----
