Black Rose

Mad Hatter

As the last bell for school, Alice goes and sits on the bench at the side of her school to wait for her parents. While there, she takes out her notebook and looks over her notes. Today was the day. Despite the fact that she got in trouble for wandering off yesterday, she would need to do it today again. "I just need to find a way to sneak out and not let anyone know that I left." she says to herself. Trevor and Jazmine were unfortunately close by at the time she said that. Smirking, they walk over and stand by her.¨Awe, is the little freak talking to herself. It is to be expected, especially when you have no friends." Jazmine says. Alice sighs and ignores her, looking past her body to watch the streets.¨Hey. She's talking to you. Are you hard of hearing too?¨ Trevor says. 'Finally.'Alice thinks as she sees the black limo pull up to her school. Quickly, she gets up and swiftly walks around the two annoyances in her life, then walks to the car as the butler opens the door for her.

The drive home is relatively quiet, Alice's mind fulled with plans of how shes going to carry out her plan and all the necessary details. Once they get home, Alice is walked inside the house by the butler and she immediately goes upstairs to shower. Her mother comes home a short while after that, followed by her brothers and sister. After her shower, she goes down to the kitchen, noting that her father still isn't home yet and she walks to the fridge. After she grabs a snack, she walks back to her room and pulls out her notepad. Downstairs, her mother decides to start making lunch for them. As Alice eats her apple, she writes down the a little note in an unrecognizable language. 'Enternal Sleep ~BlackRose' the words read. Alice smiles and puts the notepad away, slidding off her bed and walking outside. Her white knee-length dress swishes around her legs as she makes her way down the stairs and towards the back door. "Alice? Where are you going?" Jane asks.

Alice looks over her shoulder at her mother and points to the direction of the back door. "Outside." she says simplu. Jane huffs and smiles, walking over and coming to a rest in front of Alice. "For what?" she asks. Alice looks up into her mother's eyes and shrugs,"Play. I want to play." Alice smirks, a deep humor hidden inside her. Jane laughs and smiles with her teeth, reaching down and ruffling Alice's hair. "Alright bit don't go too far. Make sure you come when I call for you, you hear me?" she says, finishing the question sternly. Alice nods and turns, running out the back door and disappearing behind the thicket of woods. Jane watches her go with a small smile on her lips before shaking her head and going back to her task.

Alice makes her way past the first few feet of the woods before figuring she'd have to go deeper for the specific plant she's looking for. Shrugging to herself, she crouches down a bit before running with a superhuman speed, deeper and deeper into the woods. When she's close to halfway in, the air finally starts to moisten and the woods smell becomes more prominent. Smiling, she slows down and starts to look around in curiosity. A waterfall roars a couple of feet in front of her while the river that leads from it flows with a somewhat gentle calm. "Where? Where are you little one?" she says outloud and takes off her socks and shoes. Putying them aside, she hops on the wet rock infront of the waterfall and peers inside the small cave behind the roaring waters. "Ah-ha! I found you. Come out to play." she says and steps past the water barrier, into the cave. There, are a bunch of black and white roses growing out of the ground, the green leaves and stem making their color stand out more.

Alice kneels down, careful not to damage any of the plants and leans in close to a white rose. "The smell of mint." she then leans to a black one. "And the smell of rain fall. Perfect little thing." she says. Reaching a hand out, she carefully picks one of each color and cradles them in her hands. With those items, she makes her way back to her house, one hand with the roses and the other with her shoes. Just as she breaks the tree line, her mother calls out. "I'm here." she says and walks into the house. "Alice! What happened to your dress!? What happened to you, you're all wet!" Jane yells out. Alice grins big and shrugs before running up the stairs and into her roomn keeping the roses away in a safe place. Then she goes back down the stairs for lunch.

~~in the night~~

Alice locks the door to her room and quietly opens the window of her room. Her black, long sleeve dress and tights blend into the night and her mask covers her whole face. She takes a deep breath and rolls her shoulders. Then, she runs. Running as fast as she can, she makes it back yo the CEO's house. Just like before, she sneaks in the ways she came, her clothes slightly damp from the wet air outside. Alice makes her way to the office door she went to last time and listens closely. 'No ine else there.' she smiles and ooens the door, walking in and closing the door behind her, locking it. "I told you I'd be back. And I am." she smiles and tilts her head. The mann Thomas, looks up from his paperwork and laughs at the small girl. "Oh? You are. And what are you ganna do? Hm?" he smirks and leans back in his chair.

"This." Alice says and raises a hand up, yanking on an invisible string and Thomas comes crashing through the desk, landing on the floor with a heavy thud. A thin wire string is wrapped around his neck and he gasps for air, looking up at Alice with fearful eyes. "Please." he says. Alice shushes him and walks to stand by his head. "Don't speak. Since I'm on a limited time here, the good news is that I won't torture you. The bad news? Your ganna wish I did." Alice reaches into her hair and shakes it out, pulling a white rose from her hair. "By the time you die, this white rose, will ne completely red." she turns and lays it on the desk, or what's remaining of it. "You should have stayed on the floor, Mr. Thomas." she says, a hint of a laugh in her voice and she looks over her shoulder. Moving fast, Thomas lunges at her, but Alice is faster. She takes out a long thin needle and cuts a virtical line up his inner arm and blood spills out. Alice then drops behind the man and inserts two needles in the back of his knees, paralyzing his legs and he falls to his knees.

"We paint white roses red. Each shade from, a different person's head. This dream, dream is a killer. Getting drunk with a broke caterpillar." Alice sings before moving to stand infront of the man. Thamas reaches up to grab her but she breaks both his arms with a powerful hit. Then, she takes a needle and swipes it across his throat. Thamas screams in pain," W-hatglurr dorr mee" he gurgles out as he chokes on his own blood. Alice chuckles and walks behind the man, aiming his head upwards as more blood gushes out. "The chemical that's in the needle intensifies pain to unimaginable levels, increasing blood flow too but its also...digging it's way through your veins. Think of it like magma running through you." she shrugs. "Goodnight." she says, just bwfore he falls to the floor, lifeless. Alice looks to the rose thats dripping with red and then smiles. Looking around, sge starts to take the needles out of the mans body and seals up the puncture wounds. Then she places the black rose on the other half of the table on top of the note she wrote and nods to herself.

She never leaves any prints. Not while like this. Too much on the line to be sloppy like thay. After Alice decides everything is in perfect shape, she leaves for her house. Only then do the family of Thomas come home, the wife screaming as she spots the body and their 16 year old boy in tears. On the wall, is a message.

There ain't no rest for the wicked.

Sorry I haven't updated in a millennium. I was really focused on the story Mix and I were writing. And I was kinda having writer's block on how to kill this guy. To torture or not to torture. That is the question. Anyway, for those who say eight year olds can't do that...why are you trying to logic fanfiction? You are wasting time; everyone know logic doesn't fanfiction. Anyway, there will be updates regularly from now on so yay. Hazza. See ya.
