The White Queen

Prologue:

We Are Bullet Proof

No one ever feels more alive in their life than when they are about to die or are dying. In those rare moments, you often think about all of things you could've done, should've said, things you wish you didn't do and so on.

Then comes thoughts of your family, wishing you could see them one more time. Tell them how much you love them…

And then the pain zips through you, leaving no room for other thoughts as you slowly, but surely, grow unconscious.

And then you drift…

And then you fall…

oOo

Screams erupted throughout the three star Italian restaurant as shots from guns echoed. Immediately, Lisanna was pushed onto the ground, her body being covered by her personal bodyguard.

"Stay down, Lisanna," Adam, her bodyguard ordered quietly, his mouth by her ear as Lisanna's eyes searched her friends. She found her friend Katherine covering her mouth with her hands, shaking slightly as she hid underneath the table with her.

"Where is Lisanna Halliwell?" a deep, male voice boomed across the restaurant, immediately gaining silence. Lisanna flinched at her name and knew once again, it was an attempted kidnap in order to harass her father.

She glanced at Adam who shook his head at her, firm eyes turning to the men in pale white, theatre masks.

"Lisanna Halliwell, if you don't reveal yourself in one minute," the voice called as a mother cried out, along with a child screaming and crying in terror. The very sound made the British Prime Minister's daughter clench her jaw. "This innocent child will die and it will be on your hands."

"Don't even think about it," Adam threatened her, glaring at her in authority. He knew what she was thinking and hated the idea before it even left her lips.

"That child will die unless I do something," Lisanna hissed back at him, moving a strand of her burgundy hair behind her ear. When he opened his mouth, she placed a hand on his arm. "I won't stand by and let the people my father works hard to serve die. Not on my watch."

Before the bodyguard could protest, Lisanna stood up and glared at the terrorists, her chin held high. Her heart was pounding hard in her chest, her fists clenched at her sides as she walked around her table and towards them.

"Let her go, I'm the one you clearly want," Lisanna spat out, her eyes never leaving the cold, brown ones behind the mask. The child in his arms, a seven year old little girl with honey blonde hair, squirmed in his arms, crying out for her mother.

"It's nice to know you care so much about the people, Miss Halliwell," he stated mockingly, releasing the girl who bolted for her mother's arms. "Unlike your father."

"My father is fighting the corruption within the government," Lisanna retorted back, moving her hands on to her hips. She knew Adam would have contacted the rest of the bodyguards and police. All she had to do was stall until they had arrived. "Unlike you who threatened the innocent life of a child. And all for what?"

He pointed a semi-automatic hand gun at her. "To send a message."

She never got the time to process what he had meant when her pulled the trigger, shooting her in the chest. Her mind had yet to process what occurred as she fell to the ground, pain storming throughout her chest.

Lisanna gasped for air, eyes widened as she finally registered what happened. She had been shot.

Her mind was clouded, unable to properly hear the voices around her as her vision blurred, warm liquid swimming down her body. Lisanna lightly touched it, finding it red liquid.

Her blood.

Adam's face appeared in her blurred vision, a look of panic and desperation painted onto his face. His mouth moved but she couldn't hear the words he spoke.

I have no regrets, Lisanna thought, slowly closing her eyes.

oOo

Her eyes snapped open as she sat up, gasping for air. The back of her neck was covered in cold sweat and she pressed her hand against her chest, finding no wound what so ever. No blood….no pain…

Only confusion…

Song: We Are Bullet Proof...by some K-Pop band I cannot for the life of me remember.

Hey guys, this is the Heart no Kuni no Alice fanfic I got requested to do and have been wanting to do for a long time. If you're not familiar with this great manga and otome game, go google it. It honestly is one of the best Alice in Wonderland interpretations I have seen and had the joy of reading.

So this is the prologue of a BorisxOC fic and I have always wondered what would happen if the White Queen position from Tim Burton's Alice came into play…..so I did a thing.
