Alice of Human Sacrifice
The First Alice: Meiko-The Jack of Spades
I don't want to be forgotten. But I am just a dream and dreams are always forgotten at some point. I don't want to become like that. How can I make people remember me? Think Dream, Think... I know! If I draw people into my world, then they can make it and I'll never be forgotten! But who should I choose. There are so many people in that world. I'll start with... her! The red woman!
Meiko couldn't stand the sight of blood. She never knew why. All that she can remember is coming to the orphanage on that day and refusing to wear red for a few months. Then, when Meiko saw that blood on the boy's hand after he had gotten a paper cut, she completely broke down. It was decided that day that she had a fear of blood.
Many kids tried to tease her about it, but Meiko didn't take that. "Piss off," she'd say and give them a glare like that of a demon's. If that didn't work, she'd use fists. But Meiko always aimed for the stomach or cheek. She never went for the nose for the fear of a nosebleed.
Now 21, Meiko owned her own bakery. She was known for her sweet pastries and smart mouth. But her food was so good that no one minded as long as they stayed on her good side. Meiko was at home getting ready for bed. She was slightly drunk from a party she had been at earlier so she just collapsed in the bed.
"Big sis!" said a girl with long blonde hair with bangs covering her eyes. Her white shirt was to big for her and covered her hands so she wore black shorts that reached her knees under it. But weirdest of all were her white rabbit ears and fluffly white tail.
"Big sis?" Meiko said confused. This was probably just a dream brought on by the alcohol.
"Come on, play with me!" the girl begged.
"Play where?" Meiko and the girl were in a white space that stretched on practically forever.
The girl just smiled, "We can play in Wonderland!" The space was replaced by a town with shops and people everywhere. It looked like an old kingdom from a storybook. Meiko began to feel a weight on her hip and looked down at herself. She had on a red dress with a white apron and a blade with a red jem was on her hip.
"What the hell? This has got to be a dream," Meiko said to herself. Then, a person bumped into her hard sending her tumbling to the ground. "No, that hurt. Then where the hell am I?"
"I told you Big sis, this is my dream, Wonderland. And you're the first Alice! You should be proud!" the little girl exclaimed excitedly. Meiko picked herself up.
"Then who are you? I don't have a sister," Meiko said.
The girl just smiled, "I'm the dream, but you can just call me Autumn."
"The dream...? Wha-"
"You ask too many questions big sis. Like I said, you're the first Alice, the red woman."
"Red woman?"
"'Cause you're hands are dyed red!" Autumn then took out a silver pocket watch, "You should just explore my world for now, It's getting late and I have a bedtime," Autumn said fading away.
"Wait! What's an Alice and what do you mean my hands are dyed red?" Meiko asked trying to stop her. But Autumn was gone and Meiko was left alone in the middle of a crowded town. People simply passed by her as if a woman yelling at thin air was normal. Meiko started looking around for any clue as to why she was here.
"Damnit," Meiko put her hands into the apron's pockets and felt something. Curious, she pulled out a card with a red spade and Js in the corners. "A Jack of spades?" This could explain why I'm dressed as a warrior. Meiko put the card back into her pockets. She began walking, looking for a way back to her home.
Uwahhh! This is so boring! She's just walking around. How do I make her do something interesting? Wait... it's my world. And she's a Jack. I just need to make her fight something!
"AHHHHHH!" blood curdling screams could be heard across the town. Meiko ran to where they were originating from. She came to the town square and stopped dead in her tracks.
"B-blood..." In the center of the square was a giant rag doll type monster. Blood was everywhere the body of two people were laying in front of it. Everyone in the crowd were running but Meiko stood there shaking. She felt weak, like she was going to throw up. The rag doll turned to Meiko and she ran, with it chasing behind her.
Meiko kept running, outside the town then into a forest. The rag doll was closing in on her. Meiko ran off the path but came to the bottom of a cliff, she was trapped.
What's wrong, Autumn's voice said in her head, You're a Jack so go fight! Autumn began giggling as the rag doll advanced at Meiko.
Meiko screamed and closed her eyes unsheathing the sword. She swung blindly and felt her sword slash something. A pain-filled roar split the air and a liquid splashed on Meiko's cheek and apron. Meiko opened her eyes to see the rag doll slump back, covered in blood.
Meiko shook and memories began filling her head. A girl trapped in a small closet, pleading to be let out. An angry voice yelled back at her, "Shut Up you little bitch!"
The girl pounded at the closet door begging, "Please father! Let me out! Please!" Heavy stomps came to the closet and threw the door open.
The girl was grabbed by her brown hair and thrown across the room to the kitchen.
"Can't you learn to shut up for five seconds?!" The father kicked and stomped on the girl on the floor. He then kicked her in the stomache, sending her sliding across the floor, hitting her back on a kitchen cabinet. She coughed up some blood on the floor. "All you ever do is make messes!" The man came stomping toward the girl. She got up on her knees shaking.
She looked into the cabinet and found a large kitchen knife. She grabbed the knife and swung it at her father. It got him in the leg and he fell down clutching the wound and shouting swears at the girl.
The girl clutched the knife in her hand tighter as she loomed over her father. "Die!" She stabbed her father. The girl continued to stab him,"Die! Die! Die, you damned bastard!"
The girl looked at the still body and began to laugh out of relief. The man that had tortured her for years was finally dead. But, then the reality of what she'd done hit her and she dropped the bloody knife.
That girl was me, wasn't it, Meiko thought to herself, That's what she meant by my hands being dyed red. But, on that night, my father's blood..., Meiko smiled to herself, "Was the biggest relief I'd ever had."
Another rag doll monster appeared and came at Meiko. She stabbed it then slashed it open, splattering more blood on herself. Meiko just giggled excitedly, "What's wrong Autumn? Aren't you the dream?" She said into the sky, "Can't you send some other monster to kill me? Well come on Bunny Girl! I'm right here and I'll cut down anything in my path."
Meiko kept walking, leaving a trail of blood in the woods as she went. Autumn sent a few more monsters, but Meiko never hesitated to slay all within her way. Meiko kept a grin plastered on her face all threw the chaos. Autumn then appeared behind Meiko.
"You've gotten pretty good with that sword B-" Meiko swung around and slashed her sword at Autumn. Autumn fell with a bloody slash on her neck.
Meiko laughed hysterically, "The dream's dead! I can go home now! I told you, I'll cut down anything in my path!" The forest was silent except for Meiko's insane laughter.
"You've crossed the line, Jack of Spades," said an eerie, disembodied voice. Meiko stopped laughing as Autumn's body disappeared. Then, long tree branches grabbed her roughly, making her drop her sword. Meiko was left suspended by the branches.
Another Autumn appeared on the ground in front of her. This Autumn was different though. Her hair was in high pigtails and she wore a large top hat with a Jack of Spades on the brim. She wore a green skirt with pink leggings and a pink blazer with a green tie. Autumn's hair was parted revealing deep red eyes and her rabbit-like features were gone.
"What the hell is going on!?" Meiko asked, "I just cut you down."
Autumn chuckled, "I told you, this is MY world. I can do what I want." Autumn's voice was different; it sounded like some monster's voice over top of Autumn's high, girly voice. "You made me do this Jack of Spades. You made me take on my Dream form."
"What do you mean Dream form?"
Autumn simply chuckled, "You asked way too many questions Big sis. But thank you for being the first Alice. But I'll answer one last question because I'm sweet like that, there are two sides to each story, in my case there's the white rabbit and Mad Hatter." Autumn raised her hand and the branches pulled Meiko further into the forest.
Meiko got flashes of her time trapped in that tiny closet, all alone. "Wait! Let me out! Please!"
"Sorry Big sis, but you need to pay for you wrath." Autumn's voice then changed back to it's original tone, "Ooh! I just got an idea!"
Autumn began singing in a cute little voice, paying no heed to Meiko's desperate pleas, "The first Alice was a wrathful woman of the spade. And righteously she held a sharpened blade within her hand. Never hesitating to slay all within her way, Creating paths of blood that followed her through Wonderland. Deep within the darkened forest Alice crossed the line. Captured and imprisoned as an embodiment of sin."
At that point, Meiko had completely disappeared within the trees, her pleas now silent. Autumn smiled to herself and continued to walk the blood red path that Meiko had left behind.
"If not for the murderous wake left behind, No one would have suspected that she had ever been."
Autumn faded away and all that could be heard within the forest was Meiko's insane laughter.
Meiko was found in her bed that morning with scratches all over her body. A path of her blood went from her door to her bed where she lay still. Meiko had a spade carved into her hand and a Jack of Spades clutched in it. She had a huge smile plastered on her blood covered face.
Uwahhh! That first game was so much fun! But now what? The Jack would have survived if she wasn't so spiteful. Maybe I need a more humble person. Yes... It'll be a weak and humble man of the Diamond this time. Oohh, I can't wait to see how this one will turn out!
