Stray Monster

Fragments

"Little rye saw.." Alice spoke to herself as she walked closer to the factory far from ryes home as she swung open the door too the factory "Guess who's returned!" Alice yelled loudly as creatures in swarms came from the shadows many making high pitched noises and growls slightly swarming around her larger creatures pushing against her making the same noises smaller ones crawling up around her breasts and shoulders excited Alice picking one of the small ones up "The nightmare goddess has returned my little nightmares.." For once she let out a small chuckle as the rake moved quickly towards her kneeling down some making a low noise "Yes I'm back.." She gently cupped the rakes cheek as it nuzzled against her as she chuckled they dispersed still remained close "we shall resume the killing soon.." She slowly walked to her bedroom as many monsters followed her as she opened the door slowly laying down on her bed darkness closing around her as she drifted off "Will...I remember...?" Alice softly spoke before she completely fell asleep the necklace softly gleaming. Within a few moments Alice herd yelling screaming and saw brief flashes of little rye hunched over blood dripping down from her face "Mommy I can't see!! Why?!" She cried while screaming. A brief shot showed a woman Holding what looked to be an eyeball "a witch cannot see.." The woman snarled before the memories stopped Alice waking with a gasp breathing heavily "that...." She took a few breaths realizing she had seen little rye, had her family accused her? Killed her...? A few thoughts buzzed in Alice's head before she sighed blowing it off before feeling something across her stomach. Moving her head she saw a small dragon like creature skitter up her stomach and close to her face making a little squeak like purr noise "it's alright.." Alice spoke soothingly as the critter nuzzled her mask before curling up beside her, prompting her to slightly relax soon letting sleep overtake her.

{Previous memories...}
"This is perfect.." Alice smiled staring at herself in the full length mirror, a beautiful sleeveless blue dress with of the shoulder slightly puffed sleeves with a slight sparkle to it "this is so beautiful.." Alice slightly twirled around looking at herself, she felt like a queen "And the final touch..." She picked up a soft blue green and white flower like headpiece carefully placing it on her he's adjusting and fluffing her hair before pulling some of it back into a small low bun "perfect.." For once Alice felt truly happy. Tonight was prom night at her school an she was very excited having high hopes of being voted prom queen. Excited Alice picked her phone up texting Alice

"All set and ready!"
-Alice

"Great head on down I'm already here. Excited to see the dress you've picked out ;) "
-Ash

"Very funny ash. I'll be down in a moment"
-Alice

Alice smiled some putting her phone into a little secret pocket of the dress slowly opening the door, picking up the bottom of her dress Alice made her way through her small but cute apartment until she got to the door, there she found Ash standing her hair tied wearing a rather expensive looking tuxedo holding something behind her "Ash" Alice lightly called out smiling when ash turned "A-alice! You look wonderful.." A very very faint blush appeared on Ash's face as Alice stepped closer ash took the gift from behind her.
It was a blue rose corsage smaller white flowers adorned the outside of the rose   As Alice stepped back some in surprise "What? Ash how much did that cost?" Ash chuckled a little kinda smiling "I saved up for it and rented this tux..it honestly wasn't that much" she rubbed the back of her head as Alice looked worried "you really didn't have to do all of this for me.." Alice spoke softly as ash took her hand "nonsense now my dear Alice shall we go?" She smiled as Alice laughed a little before nodding the two of them left and arrived at the school, ash took her inside and many stared at her as ash nudged alice shoulder "they are looking at you in jealousy" she smiled some as Alice looked away.
Soon the two of them danced ash spinning Alice around a few times, for once ash saw a beautiful happy Alice smiling her eyes glimmering as she danced before the music was quiet "Ladies and gentlemen we will now be announcing our finalists for the prom king and queen." All of the students gathered around excited "Please welcome, Alice Reisa..Kia Williams, and Sophia Anderson." Ash looked over at Alice smiling who quickly hurried up on stage with a few other girls she seemed so excited as the men came on "third place goes to Kia Williams" many people cheered as she revived a cute little crown and bouquet of flowers "Second place..Sophia Williams" the anniversary smiled as Sophia walked up glaring at Alice as she received her bouquet an a larger crown. "Ladies and gentleman please welcome the prom queen Alice reisa!" Alice looked like she squeaking in delight as they began to bring out a large beautiful crown decorated with gems and sparkling silver, ash meanwhile was jumping up and down "that's my girl!" She smiled watching closet before she stopped noticing something seemed off she quickly began pushing trying to get close to the stage "Alice!" She tried to yell it but she was shoved down as Alice looked over it all happened.
A huge bucket of some watery substance was dumped onto Alice causing her to scream and some of the students to begin to laugh while others stood in complete surprise and shock "Alice!" Ash yelled getting back up as tears streamed down Alice's face "why..." She hunched over before taking off running ash unable to catch up.

Alice ran out of the school ignoring everyone. A severe pain swelled up in her chest as she ran everything around her became blurry until she hit something and fell. Alice cried out in pain and slowly pulled herself up noticing she hit an grave "perhaps..something would be treated better than me.." Alice worked quietly cleaning off both graves finding a smaller grave she tended to as well before standing up taking her headpiece off resting it on the grave "May your soul rest in a place of peace.." Completely worn out and cold Alice simply say before laying down beside the graves falling asleep.
