Madness {Suicide Squad}

Prologue

"Momma stop it hurts!" A small girl screamed from the cold metal surgical table. Her arms and legs were held down with metal cuffs, her body covered in cuts, gashes, and bruises. The small girl was called Alice Chalk but despised the name, it was given to her by her monster of parents, she called herself Cheshire Kat after watching Alice In Wonderland. It was the only movie she had ever seen. The girl only ten years old and she was going through torture that no one should ever have to experience. She screamed as the knife cut degrading words into her flesh and screamed as hot coals were dumped on her left arm then quickly doused in water to be repeated again. After her "parents" were finished they would go upstairs like nothing happened and eat dinner like what happened downstairs was completely normal.

It seemed like hours until her "parents", the monsters, stopped. Maybe it was but she wouldn't know. Using the last of her strength she pulled hard on all the cuffs holding her fast to the metal table. It was a miracle, they broke and fell with a quiet thud, and she quickly slipped off the blood soaked table. Her legs were a little unsteady but they held fast and she looked around the room. That was when she saw it, a beautiful blue butterfly. Cheshire smiled a large grin and quickly ran over and caught it. She opened her hands to see nothing, the butterfly was gone but there was something inked into her hands. Each of Cheshire's palms were inked with a blue butterfly wings and when put together made a whole blue butterfly. She smiled and she felt that her grin felt wider,quickly she walked over to the only mirror in the basement where she was kept, she gasped.

Cheshire's hair was light blue and teal, and her eyes were cat eyes that were a mix of teal and light blue. Her skin around her face and hair line was lightly streaked with a dusty teal. Most of all her mouth, her mouth was a large cheshire grin and her teeth were pointed. She ran her hands through her hair and smiled wickedly large. Looking at her hands grinning she flexed them, her nails were teal tinged claws. Looking at her clothes she saw that they were in tatters, looking around some more she found jeans and a gray t-shirt which she quickly pulled on. Silently she crept up the stairs and picked the lock on the door with her claws, quietly pushing it open. Then the worst thing happened, SQUEAK.

A loud squeak echoed from the door through the house. Cheshire heard heavy footsteps run towards the basement door and stop in front of it. Once they stopped she shoved the door opened in their faces, they fell down with a heavy thud. Even though she was a small girl for her age they didn't stop her from jumping on top of her parents and clawing them to death, she even bit her mother at least once. Soon they were dead and Cheshire's hands were covered in blood and blood clung to her teeth. Using the blood from their bodies she wrote a short note before washing her hands and mouth.

Fleeing the scene through the kitchen window, all that was left of her living their was the blood in the basement and the bloody note on the wall. All it read was, "Check in the basement -Cheshire," on the wall above the monsters she had for parents. Her bare feet only making slight noises on the cold asphalt as she ran far away from her home that was her prison since she was born. Cheshire, once she reached the city, ran through alleyways and climbed fire escapes. She loved the burning in her lungs from the cold air and the cool wind streaming through her hair. Soon her home was not but a speck in the distance and she disappeared into the night.
